One less thing on moving day.

A move-out clean is easier to plan when the property details, access and cleaning scope are settled before the moving van arrives.

What should you arrange before a move-out clean?

Confirm the property details, condition, furnishing status and required tasks. Then coordinate removal of belongings, access, utilities and the final inspection timing. OC brings the agreed tasks and any additional services together in your written quotation, so the clean is organised before moving day.

This checklist is for people planning an end-of-tenancy clean in Stoke Newington, Hackney, Islington and the City.

Send the details that affect the work

Include bedrooms, bathrooms, furnishing status and the present condition. Mention heavy build-up, property damage and any areas that may be difficult to access. Photographs can help explain the request, but avoid showing people, documents or other private information.

Bring the whole clean together

OC can include oven cleaning and cupboard interiors in your tailored quotation, and arrange carpet and window cleaning alongside the move-out clean. Identify the tasks you want covered and we’ll bring the work and pricing together.

Coordinate the move and the clean

Where practical, arrange the clean after belongings have been removed and before the final inspection. Allow time between appointments rather than assuming several teams can work around one another in a small space. If the property remains furnished, explain what stays and how access to surfaces will work.

Prepare appliances safely

If an appliance is included, follow its manufacturer’s preparation instructions and agree the required condition in advance. A fridge or freezer may need to be emptied and prepared before the visit. Ask us if you’re unsure what to prepare.

Confirm the essentials

What about the deposit?

Your OC completion certificate and completed checklist provide a record of the clean to keep with your handover documents. A deposit decision also considers the tenancy, inventory and property condition, so a cleaning booking does not guarantee its return.
