Service overview

What this covers, and who it's for

Every quote arrives in writing as a fixed-price proposal, designed around your building, your hours and your standards.

What it is

End-of-tenancy cleaning for commercial premises, offices, retail units, warehouses and light-industrial units, delivered to a landlord-standard specification and signed off with an itemised checklist for handover.

Who it's for

Outgoing commercial tenants, dilapidations consultants, chartered surveyors, agents managing lease-ends and businesses relocating premises across Greater Manchester.

When you need it

Bring us in when your lease is ending, when a schedule of dilapidations has been served, when you're moving to new premises and need the old one handed back cleanly, or when a new tenant is due to move in.

Why it matters

A commercial end-of-tenancy clean protects you from dilapidations claims. It's cheaper to pay for the clean than to have the cost deducted from your dilaps settlement at the landlord's chosen rate.

Why this matters

The cost of leaving this to chance

The problems below are the ones we're brought in to fix week after week across Greater Manchester. Each one is preventable with the right specification and the right operator.

Dilapidations claims cost more than the clean

Landlord cleaning charges deducted from your dilapidations settlement are typically well above market rate. A professional handover clean protects the settlement.

General cleaners miss the checklist standard

A regular cleaner doesn't know what a landlord looks for at handover, kitchenette limescale, window tracks, skirting behind furniture, ceiling vents, floor edges. We clean to that list explicitly.

Overlooked areas trigger re-inspection charges

Every re-inspection the landlord's agent has to make is chargeable. Getting it right first time saves those fees.

Timing pressure at handover

Handover dates don't move. Missing one costs holdover rent. We mobilise fast when the date is tight.

In detail

What this looks like on the ground

What a commercial end-of-tenancy clean typically covers

Complete deep clean of every area: kitchenettes (including limescale removal, appliance interiors, extractor grilles); toilets (full deep clean, limescale, grout); offices (skirting, windowsills, radiator tops, cable ports, ceiling vents); floors (carpet extraction where required, hard-floor machine scrub); internal glass and partitions; empty and clean out any remaining cabinetry; final rubbish removal. Each item on the checklist is ticked and signed.

Working alongside dilapidations surveyors

For larger handovers where a dilapidations surveyor is involved, we work directly against their schedule so cleaning items are ticked off and evidenced. This is often cheaper than negotiating cleaning charges later in a dilaps settlement.

Retail, office and industrial differences

Retail units add shopfront and shopfloor considerations, window graphics removed, shop-floor deep-cleaned, storeroom emptied. Industrial units add welfare deep-cleans, floor scrubbing in traffic zones and loading-bay wash-down. Offices focus on kitchenettes, toilets, floors and workstation removal. We scope each one specifically.

Timing and coordination with removals

Handover cleans are best scheduled immediately after removals leave and before the landlord's final inspection. We coordinate directly with your removals company or agent to avoid a wasted visit.

Why it's worth paying for the clean

A landlord's dilapidations cleaning charge is typically calculated at their contractor's premium rate. A pre-handover clean at market rate, with a signed checklist, usually saves multiples of its cost in the dilaps settlement.

Case study

Student accommodation turnover, Manchester city centre

A block of student rooms handed back mid-tenancy churn: stripped beds, mouldy shower seals, dusty desks and unsanitised en-suites. Our team reset every room to a lettable standard against the landlord's inventory, bedrooms, en-suite bathrooms, showers and communal touchpoints. Drag any slider to reveal the transformation.
