If you are arranging cleaning before occupying a Greenwich rental, first confirm when you can enter and who has authorised the work. Describe the property as it will be handed over, including retained furniture and kitchen condition. We can review the tenancy-cleaning brief before your boxes arrive.
Authorised work and the property quotation agreed first
An incoming tenant may see an empty property before having practical access to it. Confirm the date, permission to arrange cleaning and the person responsible for keys. If the landlord or agent is already commissioning work, discuss that before creating overlapping instructions or assuming another clean is needed.
Explain grease on hob, extractor, cupboard fronts, worktops and splashback, plus sink work. Request interiors explicitly and confirm what preparation can be arranged before access. Free oven cleaning is advertised with tenancy cleaning; give the appliance and compartments to confirm the applicable offer. Do not infer defrosting, contents handling or dismantling from a general kitchen request.
Identify shower areas, bath, basin, taps, toilet and suitable tile work. Explain deposits, delicate surfaces and any known damage. Cleaning can address appropriate removable dirt but cannot fix failed seals, worn grout or a leak. A continuing damp problem should be raised as maintenance rather than described as something cleaning will necessarily resolve.
List accessible doors, skirting, internal windows, furniture surfaces and floors. Describe dust or marks observed rather than assuming all empty rooms need identical work. Carpet vacuuming differs from specialist treatment. High glass and edges blocked by heavy furniture need practical access discussion, even when the property has few personal belongings.
State whether the property is furnished or unfurnished and list retained beds, tables and seating. Identify any former occupant’s items awaiting collection. The team should not decide ownership, disposal or storage arrangements. Accessible furniture cleaning and heavy moving are different tasks, so discuss blocked surfaces and handling restrictions before quoting.
For marked seating, request cleaning of the retained upholstery with the fabric and care-label details. The condition may include wear as well as dirt, so avoid assuming every mark can be removed. A carpet-inclusive tenancy option does not automatically cover sofas or chairs.
Arrange personal belongings, food and loose waste to be cleared from agreed areas. If another party must empty storage or prepare appliance interiors, identify that responsibility before arrival. Avoid expecting the cleaning team to sort belongings left behind or make disposal decisions. Explain anything not ready for access.
Provide material care information and product restrictions, confirming supply, equipment and practical utility arrangements with the booking contact. Unusual surfaces or high access require discussion. Do not attempt unsafe lifting or reaching while preparing. If you have not yet inspected a room, say so rather than supplying an assumed condition.
For stains or a required fibre treatment, ask about carpet cleaning with materials and condition described. Extra panes or exterior glazing need a window-cleaning request explaining access. Confirm method, scheduling and preparation before deliveries arrive. A related service can be coordinated only after availability and the appropriate scope are checked.
If you want help once settled, discuss regular cleaning after occupation separately from the initial tenancy-related work. The first brief concerns the property condition received and its handover requirements; ongoing tasks depend on ordinary use afterwards. Combining the two lists can obscure how much work is needed before the move.
One-bedroom tenancy cleaning is advertised from £208 excluding carpet cleaning or £238 including it. These are property-based starting figures, with size and requested work assessed. Minimum charges, terms and availability apply; applicable congestion charges are additional. Confirm the Greenwich total, carpet option and advertised oven offer with whoever is commissioning the clean. Bedroom numbers alone do not establish every inclusion or an unusually large layout’s price.
Give the address, rooms, bathrooms, levels, furnishing status and current condition. Include relevant landlord or agent instructions and the proposed move-in date. Duration depends on the agreed workload and treatments rather than a fixed formula. Enquire early and check short-notice availability, particularly if access starts shortly before your belongings arrive.
You need not remain throughout, but entry must be authorised. Agree the key holder, shared entrance details, alarms and relevant parking arrangements. Settle the contact for questions, securing the property and key return, plus how completion is communicated. An incoming tenancy date alone does not confirm permission or practical entry for the cleaning appointment.
For the Greenwich rental, establish who authorises the cleaning work and when the rooms become available. Explain furniture deliveries or belongings arriving before attendance. Keep the current condition and entry arrangement clear so the requested clean can be discussed before you occupy the rooms.
Discuss dates early, but confirm permission and practical access. Do not rely on entry before it is authorised by the relevant party.
Clarify responsibility and the existing scope before booking overlapping work. Use one settled brief for the property being handed over.
Explain the delivery schedule when enquiring. Clear rooms can provide more practical working access, but the dates and expected duration need agreement.
Identify ownership and the intended handling. Contents sorting or disposal should not be assumed as part of accessible property cleaning.
No universal result should be assumed. Describe the fibres, marks and previous treatments and confirm the method and realistic expectations.
Identify it separately from removable dirt in the cleaning brief and raise property-maintenance issues with the responsible party. Cleaning does not perform repairs.
Explain when the Greenwich property becomes available, what remains and when your belongings arrive. We can discuss the authorised cleaning scope and full property quote.
