Moving out and moving into another home can leave several dates competing for attention. Give the Putney removal and key-return sequence a clear place in the cleaning enquiry, then discuss the property scope without assuming every part of the move shares one appointment.
Dates discussed alongside the agreed property tasks
Give the last collection date and when keys are due back. Discuss cleaning once surfaces are accessible. Explain final packing or boxes in hallways; the moving activity may continue after the main furniture leaves, disturbing areas already cleaned.
Explain any uncertainty in the schedule and who can confirm it. If your incoming home’s entry date affects when you can empty the old property, say so. Check cleaning availability before relying on a particular gap; an appointment for one address does not automatically include attendance at the other.
Remove belongings and rubbish leaving with the move, then clear the storage or appliance interiors included in the agreed scope. Ask what appliance preparation and practical requirements apply. Explain items awaiting a later collection rather than assuming the cleaner can decide what to move or discard.
Put private or fragile possessions away and identify any material or object to leave untouched. Provide care guidance, product restrictions and previous treatment information where known. Confirm suitable supplies and equipment arrangements in the enquiry. A realistic account of what will be ready helps the booking reflect the home at attendance.
Describe fronts, worktops, splashback, sink, hob and extractor surfaces, with cupboard or appliance interiors requested explicitly. Explain grease, storage contents and delicate finishes. Free oven cleaning is advertised with tenancy bookings; identify the cooker and compartments and confirm the offer scope in the property quote. Other appliances need their requested work named separately.
List bath or shower areas, basin, toilet, taps and suitable tiles, explaining deposits and existing seal or grout damage. Request reachable furniture surfaces, doors, skirting, fittings and internal glass in bedrooms and living areas. Give floor materials and carpet-treatment choices separately from vacuuming. Mention blocked edges and old marks; cleaning does not repair wear or promise restoration.
Furnished and unfurnished properties can both be considered. List rental furniture staying at Putney, with accessible surfaces and fabric requirements. Separate it from your own pieces waiting for collection. The cleaner needs to know the final furniture status, not simply how the rooms were used during the tenancy.
In an unfurnished property, kitchen appliances, fitted storage and floor coverings may remain. Include those in the brief. If a landlord is collecting or replacing pieces before handover, give the dates and routes; later movement can affect access or disturb rooms already cleaned.
Send landlord or agent cleaning instructions and list the rooms, interiors and specialist options wanted. Confirm inclusions and exclusions before booking. A request for help with the move is too broad to establish the cleaning tasks, so distinguish suitable surface work from packing, sorting and removal requirements.
Point out damage, missing items or repair concerns separately. The tenancy clean prepares agreed areas for handover; it does not determine a deposit or inspection outcome. If you also want cleaning at the new home, describe its purpose and condition in a separate enquiry rather than transferring this scope.
Provide the Putney address, room and bathroom details, condition, furnishing status and handover dates. Discuss expected duration against the tasks. A short interval between removals and key return does not reduce the amount of work needing assessment.
You need not remain throughout. Agree authorised entry, the key contact, any shared-door or alarm instructions and securing the home afterwards. Confirm who receives completion information and where keys go. If you will be travelling between properties, identify someone who can answer a question about access or remaining items.
For marked floors, ask about carpet treatment at the outgoing property with fibres and condition described. For furniture staying behind, discuss upholstery cleaning separately from dusting. If you want an occasional deeper clean in the home you will occupy, enquire about one-off household cleaning. Each request needs its own scope, preparation and quotation.
Tenancy cleaning is property-based rather than hourly. Published two-bedroom starting figures are £245 excluding carpet cleaning or £275 including it. Actual size and specific tasks affect assessment, so the category is a reference rather than a complete quote for every Putney layout.
Terms, minimum charges and availability apply, and applicable congestion charges are extra. Confirm the carpet option, advertised oven offer and any other treatment in the total. Ask for applicable cleaning guarantee conditions and reporting arrangements in the booking terms, especially if someone else will handle the final property visit.
For Putney, give the final collection and key-return plan for the property being handed over. If you will be travelling to the new home, name a contact who can provide entry and clarify remaining items. Explain any last moving trip after the clean.
Explain the proposed sequence early and identify the uncertainty. Confirm availability and access before relying on an appointment.
Describe the overlap and rooms affected. Discuss when working areas will be accessible rather than assuming both activities fit together.
Provide a separate address, purpose and task list for the other property. Check its service scope, price and appointment arrangements.
Agree authorised entry and a contact able to clarify access or remaining-item questions. You need not stay throughout.
Discuss both dates and authorised key handling together. Do not rely on an unconfirmed cleaning appointment to meet a fixed arrangement.
Give its timing and route before booking. It may block work or disturb cleaned areas, so the sequence needs discussion.
Bring the Putney departure sequence and key-return plan into the enquiry with the room condition. We can discuss a workable tenancy scope and property quotation while keeping any new-home cleaning request separate.
