Agree the handover requirements
Check the cleaning specification with the person responsible for the premises. List the rooms, fixtures and finishes included, and arrange a walkthrough before the moving date.
Sequence the jobs
Plan removals and building work before the final clean where possible. Identify furniture that will stay in place and tell the cleaning team when each area will be accessible.
Name the specialist tasks
Carpet extraction, high-level windows, appliance interiors and post-construction cleaning need a clear scope. Do not assume that a routine clean covers them or that every finish can be treated on the same day.
Leave time to check the result
Arrange the final inspection with your site contact and keep a record of the agreed work. A cleaning service cannot guarantee a landlord’s decision on a deposit or replace a separate repair obligation.
