Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning

Cleaning timed around the move itself — the old property left clean, or the new one cleaned before your things arrive.

About our move-in / move-out cleaning service

There is a short window during a move when a property is completely empty, and it is the only realistic opportunity to clean it properly. Move-in and move-out cleaning is about using that window.

Move-out cleaning happens once the van is loaded and the rooms are clear. Move-in cleaning happens before your belongings arrive, so you unpack into a property cleaned to your standard rather than living around someone else's leftovers.

Because EVER MOVING & SERVICES LTD handles both the removal and the cleaning, the timing works without you having to coordinate it. The cleaning team is scheduled around the move, not the other way round.

Who this service is for

How it works

Four steps from first enquiry to the job being done.
  1. Tell us which property and when

    Whether it is the property you are leaving, the one you are moving into, or both, and your moving date.

  2. Get your quote

    Priced on property size and condition. If you are booking a removal too, it is quoted together.

  3. We schedule around the move

    Move-out cleaning follows the loading; move-in cleaning happens before delivery. We handle the sequencing.

    We work through the property while it is clear, which is when the most thorough job is possible.

Move-In / Move-Out Cleaning FAQs

The questions we get asked most about this service.

How does this differ from end-of-tenancy cleaning?

The cleaning is similar, but end-of-tenancy work is aimed specifically at a check-out inventory inspection and its associated standard. Move-in and move-out cleaning is about the property being clean around a move — which applies just as much to buyers and homeowners as to tenants. If you are a tenant with a deposit at stake, book the end-of-tenancy service.

Can you clean both properties?

Yes, and it is a common booking. We clean the old property once it is empty and the new one before your belongings arrive.

When exactly does the cleaning happen?

Move-out cleaning happens after the van is loaded and the rooms are clear. Move-in cleaning happens before delivery. We plan the timings with the move so they do not clash.

Do you need the property to be completely empty?

For the best result, yes. We can work around some furniture, but anything left in place is something we cannot clean behind or underneath.

Can this be booked with the removal?

Yes — that is the main advantage of using one company. One booking, one quote, and the cleaning slotted into the move without you arranging it separately.
