A cleaning date is only useful if entry to the home has been agreed. Explain any shared doors, building staff or key-release arrangement for your Earls Court property, alongside the rooms being handed over and when removals will finish.
Entry instructions agreed with the cleaning brief
Explain any entry phone, shared entrance or arrangement involving building staff. Identify who is authorised to release keys and how the cleaner reaches the intended rooms. Access to the building and permission to enter the home are separate details. Confirm both before relying on a slot.
Give the Earls Court address, rooms, bathrooms, furnishing status and current condition, with the removal and handover dates. You need not remain throughout, but agree a contact available for entry questions. Confirm key return, securing the property and completion communication; do not assume reception handles any of these automatically.
Loading, collections and last trips to remove possessions can affect shared entrances and cleaned floors. Describe the sequence and discuss cleaning after working areas become accessible. Allow the enquiry to consider any access restriction alongside expected duration. A limited key-release window does not make the cleaning tasks take less time.
Mention an inspection appointment or new-occupant arrival if it influences the schedule. Ask about availability early, particularly if another person must attend to open the property. Avoid treating a preferred date as confirmed until the booking arrangements are settled.
Describe kitchen fronts, worktops, splashback, sink, hob and extractor, plus requested cupboard or appliance interiors. Identify the cooker remaining: free oven cleaning is advertised for tenancy bookings, with the appliance and offer scope to be confirmed in the quote. For bathroom work, list bath or shower, basin, toilet, taps and suitable tiles; explain deposits and delicate finishes.
Request accessible furniture surfaces, doors, fittings, skirting and internal glass as needed. Describe floor materials in rooms, hallways and stairs, with carpet treatment distinguished from ordinary vacuuming. Explain remaining furniture and areas blocked by belongings. Cleaning does not repair worn surfaces, damaged seals or old material defects, so identify those separately from removable dirt.
Send the landlord or agent’s cleaning requirements and identify any specific appliance, storage or floor work. Review what will be included before booking. An entry note tells the cleaner how to reach the property; it cannot replace a task list or silently introduce a specialist treatment. Mark exclusions and fragile surfaces clearly.
Furnished and unfurnished homes can both be discussed. List furniture staying with the rental and belongings awaiting removal. Give accessible surfaces and any fabric-treatment request its own description. A bed or table remaining in a room can affect floor access even if there are few loose possessions.
For an unfurnished handover, fitted storage, kitchen appliances and floor coverings may still remain. Mention items stored temporarily by an agent or landlord, including when they leave. The booking should reflect what is available at attendance, rather than what you expect the room to look like eventually.
Remove the belongings and rubbish leaving with the move and clear the interiors agreed for cleaning. Ask about appliance preparation and practical requirements for the chosen tasks. Keep private papers and fragile objects secure. Explain any room still occupied or any access route blocked by boxes.
Provide care instructions and product restrictions for unusual surfaces, then confirm supplies and equipment arrangements. Keep security information in booking communications, with the authorised person and key destination clear. If entry arrangements change, contact the booking team rather than leaving a new instruction only with someone at the building.
Discuss window cleaning beyond the internal scope if exterior sides or extra panes need assessment. Describe marked flooring through a carpet-cleaning enquiry. For fabric furniture remaining in the home, request upholstery treatment with material and condition details. Check preparation, appointment arrangements and additional costs while the key plan is being agreed.
Tenancy cleaning is quoted for the property and agreed scope. Published one-bedroom starting prices are £208 excluding carpet cleaning or £238 including it. Those categories need the actual size and requested areas explained; they are not hourly charges or a fixed amount for every layout.
Terms, minimum charges and availability apply, with congestion charges additional where applicable. Confirm the carpet choice, advertised oven offer and any other service in the quotation. Ask about the applicable cleaning guarantee conditions and concern-reporting procedure in the booking terms before deciding.
At the Earls Court address, agree entry through shared doors as well as access to the property itself. Confirm the authorised key holder and recipient after cleaning. If building staff or an agent are involved, settle their proposed role before relying on the appointment.
Discuss the proposed authorised arrangement during booking. Confirm permission, access to the home and where the key goes afterwards.
No. Describe the tasks and restrictions together so the expected workload and appointment can be assessed.
You need not remain throughout if authorised entry and the agreed brief are clear. Provide the contact and departure arrangements beforehand.
Keep security instructions in private booking communications. The task list should identify cleaning work and relevant exclusions.
Notify the booking contact and confirm the replacement arrangement before attendance. Do not rely on an uncommunicated note.
Request the option before booking so its scope, equipment, price and preparation can be assessed with the appointment.
Confirm who can release the keys and when the Earls Court rooms will be available. Discuss the task list alongside that access window, then check the complete property quote before arranging the handover clean.
