End of Tenancy Cleaning for New Basford homes

Terraces and converted flats around the tram line, mostly let. We are five minutes away, which matters when an agent flags something and the re-clean has to happen before the check-in appointment.

End of tenancy work on the New Basford terraces is often with small local landlords rather than a national agency, which changes the document you are judged against. There may be no clerked check-in report at all, only photographs on a phone and a person living ten minutes away who will walk round with you. That is easier in some ways and harder in others, because an opinion is a moving target where an inventory is not. We supply the itemised checklist and dated photographs regardless. The flats in the converted mills sit at the other extreme, with a managing agent, a proper inventory and common parts that are explicitly not the tenant's problem.

New Basford sits in NG7, under Nottingham City Council. A mix of everything, because it is our own patch: regular domestic rounds, landlord turnarounds on the terraces, and small commercial units in the old lace buildings.

What we run into on New Basford end of tenancy cleaning jobs

The hall floor is the recurring argument. Under the laminate or vinyl in a great many of these terraces there is an original quarry tiled floor, and where a tenant has exposed it, the check-in photograph was probably taken while it was damp and looked dark and even. Cleaned properly it dries lighter and blotchy, because the tiles are unsealed and porous and never came up glossy in the first place. We use a pH neutral cleaner and a damp mop rather than a wet one, and photograph it dry so nobody argues it was left dirty.

How a New Basford end of tenancy cleaning job actually runs

Property here is relet quickly, so the clean sits in a gap of a day or two rather than a week, and that gap is the whole plan. Book us for the day after the van has gone rather than the same afternoon, because a removal crew carrying wardrobes down a narrow terrace stair marks the walls and the skirting on the way out, and there is no sense cleaning ahead of that. Keys tend to be with a landlord living a few streets away rather than in an agency office, which makes collection easy and makes the handover time a conversation instead of a fixed appointment. Take your own meter readings and photograph the meters on the day you leave. What catches people out is the outside. Most of these terraces have a small rear yard that appears in the inventory as outside space, hardly anyone counts it as something they have to leave clean, and it turns up at the check out with nothing done to it at all.

We run New Basford on the same round as Hyson Green, Sherwood and Bulwell.

What we check on every New Basford job

We work through the items an inspection actually stops at on this stock. Oven door glass and the cavity floor. The tops of the wall units, which sit above eye level in a low kitchen and are the first place a clerk runs a finger. Cupboard and drawer interiors, including the one under the sink where the bin has stood. The washing machine seal fold and the detergent drawer. Scale on the screen, the taps and the shower head. Window tracks and the drainage slots in uPVC frames. The extractor grille in the rear addition bathroom, taken off rather than wiped. Then outside: the yard swept, the gully grate cleared of leaves, the bins rinsed out and anything left leaning against the wall removed. You get an itemised checklist and dated photographs of each of those, taken dry rather than wet, so what you hand over matches what gets inspected.

What the end of tenancy cleaning covers

A sample of what is included

  • Kitchen: Hob, extractor hood and filter degreased
  • Kitchen: Fridge and freezer defrosted and washed, left off with doors ajar
  • Kitchen: Dishwasher filter and spray arms
  • Bathrooms: Full limescale removal from taps, shower head, screen, tiles and grout

That is a sample rather than the whole list. The full end of tenancy cleaning page sets out every section of the scope, what is deliberately excluded and why, how long it takes on each property size, and what tends to go wrong.

What end of tenancy cleaning costs in New Basford

End of tenancy cleaning, UK average. Nottingham sits in the lower half. Our own cost research puts the Midlands at around the UK average to 10% below it, so Nottingham sits in the lower half of every range on this page.

PropertyTypical one-off
Studio£120 to £180
1 bedroom£150 to £250
2 bedrooms£200 to £300
3 bedrooms£300 to £420
4 bedrooms£380 to £480
5+ bedrooms£450 to £600

If one quote is well under the others, it is almost always the oven, the internal windows, the carpets or the re-clean guarantee that has been left out.

Priced separately

ExtraTypical cost
Carpet cleaning, per room£35 to £60
Stairs and landing carpet£45 to £85
Single oven deep clean£45 to £80
Exterior windows£30 to £90

These are typical Nottingham market ranges, not our price list. We quote a fixed price in writing for your property before anything starts, because a number produced from a bedroom count alone has priced an average property rather than yours. The figures above come from our own UK cost research, set out in full in this guide.

Questions

End of Tenancy Cleaningin New Basford

Ring us on 07438 843980, or see the full service page.

My landlord did the inventory himself on his phone. Do I still need a checklist?

More than you would with an agency, not less. An informal inventory means the standard is whatever he remembers, so an itemised checklist and dated photographs of the oven, the cupboard interiors and the window tracks are the only fixed points either of you will have. In practice it ends the conversation before it turns into a dispute.

The hallway tiles still look patchy. Will that fail the check-out?

It should not, and we will have photographed them dry so you can show what they genuinely look like. Unsealed quarry tile dries unevenly, and a matt patchy finish is the material rather than the cleaning. If your landlord is expecting a shine, the honest answer is that the floor needs sealing, which is a decorating job and not a tenant's responsibility.

Does the back yard count as part of an end of tenancy clean?

If it is on the inventory, yes, and on these terraces it almost always is. Sweeping the flags, clearing the drain gully, rinsing the bins and moving whatever is leaning against the wall takes very little time when it is planned in, and causes an argument when it is not. Tell us it exists when you book. It is not there by default, because plenty of the flats we clean have no outside space of any kind.

The bathroom has no window and the fan barely works. Will mould in the sealant come off my deposit?

It should not, and evidence is what settles that. Mould growing inside silicone is a ventilation fault rather than a cleaning one, and no cleaning removes it, because the growth is under the surface rather than on it. We clean what sits on the sealant, photograph the line, and record in the checklist that the sealant needs replacing, which is a landlord repair. Report a fan that will not clear the room in writing during the tenancy, not at the end of it.

Do you cover the whole of New Basford?

Yes, all of NG7 and the surrounding streets, under Nottingham City Council. We are based in New Basford, NG7, and there is no travel charge to any part of our area.

How much does end of tenancy cleaning cost in New Basford?

The same as anywhere else on our patch, because we do not price by postcode. What moves the number for this service is property size, whether it will be empty, the oven's honest condition, and whether carpets are included. Tell us that and you get a fixed price in writing rather than a range.

How soon can you start end of tenancy cleaning in New Basford?

One to two weeks normally, three weeks between late June and August when tenancies across Nottingham end together. Straightforward, and we group New Basford with Hyson Green, Sherwood and Bulwell on the rota.
