Move-in and pre-tenancy cleans
Move-in cleaning in Birmingham.
Prepping a place for the next tenant, or picking up keys to one that has been left in a state? We take it back to the condition the check-in report will record, so the tenancy opens on a clean footing. Priced on the same ladder as our checkout work, from £149.
Checked July 2026.
Booked by landlords, agents and new tenants across Birmingham. One published ladder. 48-hour re-clean guarantee.
Why the check-in counts
The check-in report decides everything that follows.
Think of a move-in clean as a checkout run in reverse. At the end of a tenancy the place is judged against the check-in report. At the start, that report is still being written. Whatever it notes becomes the bar the next tenant has to clear on their way out. Getting the property properly clean before the report is filled in helps everyone: the new tenant inherits a fair starting line, and the owner has a documented baseline to point back to.
The work itself is identical to our end of tenancy clean, and it costs the same. Every room, to the inventory standard, on the ladder from £149. The only variable is when we come: ahead of a move-in instead of after a move-out.
- Taken back to the condition the check-in report will note
- A documented baseline for the next tenant to be judged against
- The identical room-by-room list we use on a checkout
- Priced on the same published ladder, no separate tariff
- Timestamped photos of the finished job
- Covered by the same 48-hour re-clean guarantee
The owner and agent side
Turning a void round quickly and cleanly.
Every empty week eats into the return, and a tired-looking flat photographs badly and lingers on the portals. A clean before the viewings and the listing shots puts the property at its best when first impressions are being made, which shortens the void. After a repaint or a refurb, we lift the fine dust, paint spatter and plaster that the trades always leave in their wake.
Run more than one property and you get the same finish on every between-lets job, so what goes back to market reads the same regardless of who just moved out. Our multiple-property discount covers this work as it does the rest of your turnovers. Send the volume and the areas and we will settle a per-property figure.
- At its best for viewings and portal photos
- A shorter void and a quicker relet
- Fine dust and residue cleared after works
- The same finish on every property in your book
The arriving tenant side
You should not inherit the last lot's mess.
You have signed, collected the keys, and the previous tenant has left the place grim. None of that is on you, and your first weekend should not be spent scraping someone else's cooker. A move-in clean brings the property up to a standard you would actually be happy to unpack into.
Getting it done early guards your deposit too. Photograph each room the day you take the keys, get the clean booked, and you hold a dated account of what you walked into. Where the check-in report shows the flat was already dirty when you arrived, that is a charge nobody can pin on you at the end.
The scope of the clean
The complete checkout list, done to an empty property.
The full checklist, room by room: kitchen and the insides of the cupboards, bathroom, skirtings, window tracks, then the whole place vacuumed through and the hard floors washed. Nothing in the way makes it faster and more thorough, so the best time to have us in is the window before any furniture lands.
Ovens and fridges sit outside the base clean as add-ons: an oven deep clean runs from £55, a fridge or freezer from £25. On a between-lets job the oven is usually worth adding, because the arriving tenant tends to open it first. Whatever the total, it is fixed in writing before we begin.
- Kitchen, cupboard interiors, every surface and floor
- Bathroom descaled, tiles and fittings wiped down
- Skirtings, sockets, door frames and window tracks
- Vacuumed throughout and the hard floors washed
- Oven deep clean add-on from £55
- Fridge or freezer clean add-on from £25
The figure and the timing
One ladder, set by the size of the property.
The figure comes off the same published ladder as a checkout clean: studio £149, 1-bed £185, 2-bed £225, 3-bed £265, 4-bed £305, five bedrooms and over from £355. Move-out or move-in, the spec and the price do not change.
Slot us into the gap between one tenant handing back the keys and the next picking them up, ideally after any works have wrapped so we take out the last of the dust. Give us the address, the size and how we get in, and you will have a slot and a fixed number back.

FAQ
Move-in cleaning questions
Questions from owners, agents and arriving tenants.
Does a move-in clean match the checkout clean?
The clean is identical and so is the price. Every room, worked to inventory standard, off the same checklist. What differs is the moment we come: a move-in clean readies a property for an arriving tenant, a checkout clean signs one off on the way out.
Who foots a move-in clean, owner or tenant?
It goes either way. Owners and agents tend to cover it for a between-lets job or after building work. An arriving tenant covers it when they have taken on a flat the last person left dirty and want it sorted properly. Whoever books it gets the price fixed in writing and the itemised receipt afterwards.
Can it be done ahead of the furniture going in?
Yes, and that is the version we prefer. An empty property lets us get to every corner, skirting and stretch of floor, so if you can hand it to us before the new tenant brings their things in, do.
How soon after building work should we book?
Wait until the works are signed off and the trades have cleared out. Refurbs and repaints scatter dust, paint flecks and plaster everywhere, so the clean belongs at the very end, right before viewings or the tenant, not running in parallel with the tools.
Do you need access arranged for a move-in clean?
Yes. We sort access with whoever is holding the keys, whether that is the owner, the agent or the arriving tenant. Tell us how we get in at the time of booking and we build the slot around it.
Is a move-in clean covered by the 48-hour guarantee?
It does. The 48-hour re-clean guarantee stands on this job like any other. Anything flagged inside 48 hours of the clean and we return to put it right at no charge.
How much does a move-in clean cost?
Off the same published ladder as a checkout: studio £149, 1-bed £185, 2-bed £225, 3-bed £265, 4-bed £305, five bedrooms and over from £355. Ovens and fridges are add-ons. Give us the property and we will quote a fixed figure.
