End of Tenancy Cleaning in Top Valley
End of Tenancy Cleaning across Top Valley and NG5, from the team in New Basford.
End of Tenancy Cleaning for Top Valley homes
Private landlords who bought former council stock, plus housing association relets, so the work spreads across the calendar with no seasonal peak. The rear store, the path and the court gate are what get written up, and nobody counts those as inside.
Turnarounds here come from private landlords who bought former council houses and from housing association relets. They land in ones and twos right across the calendar, with no student season behind them to bunch them together, so the pressure is never a queue. The date is set by how long a property can afford to stand empty, which is why the call often comes on the day the keys go back. Repeating plans help there. Three bedrooms on this estate means a known kitchen, a known bathroom and a known stair, so a figure can go out before anyone has seen the place. What catches people out is scope, because a fair share of what a clerk photographs sits outside the two doors and nobody counts it as cleaning.
Top Valley sits in NG5, under Nottingham City Council. Fortnightly domestic rounds carry most of it, generally family households where both adults work. Deep cleans arrive ahead of a relet, or when an original kitchen and bathroom finally get dealt with properly. Carpet extraction is the third, because the walk in from wherever the car stopped is long enough to bring the outside in with it.
What we run into on Top Valley end of tenancy cleaning jobs
The storage is what repeats on check out reports. Every one of these houses has an airing cupboard built round the hot water cylinder, slatted, holding years of lint, and never emptied by a tenant because there is always something in it. Then the full height cupboard under the stairs, which on this plan has an unfinished floor and takes whatever will not go anywhere else. Then the loft hatch, which clerks open more often than tenants expect them to. All three photograph badly, all three are quick, and all three want to be on the list at the start rather than found on the day.
How a Top Valley end of tenancy cleaning job actually runs
On an empty property here the controlling factor is services rather than access. Keys usually come from an office in the city or from a housing officer working a patch, so collection is a trip in itself and the day starts later than people assume. On arrival there are three questions: is there power, is there hot water, and has the meter got anything left on it. A prepayment meter left flat at the end of a tenancy stops the job before it starts, because extraction, a vacuum and a hot bucket all come off that supply. Lighting matters just as much on a winter afternoon, since these houses have a dark stair well and windowless stores, and a torch is no substitute when somebody is going to photograph the result under the same conditions. Water off at the stopcock is the other regular one. So the questions before a date gets fixed are who holds the keys, whether the supply is live, and whether the house is genuinely clear. If the last answer is no, the visit needs a different shape and a different length, and that is better known in advance.
Who books it here
Houses were laid out to keep cars away from front doors, so the road you drive down often faces back gardens and the address you want is along a footpath. Everything that comes into a job here, kit, machines, waste, gets carried further than it looks on a map.
We run Top Valley on the same round as Bestwood, Rise Park and Bulwell.
What we check on every Top Valley job
A check out report is largely written about the parts of a house that were covered up until the day before. A washing machine leaves a square of floor a shade off the rest, a rim of scale where it stood and a waste stub behind it that has never been wiped. A cooker leaves two vertical strips of fat on the units either side, baked hard, and they do not come off with the product that works on the hob. A bed leaves a clean rectangle on the carpet and a mark on the wall at head height. None of that is a tenant behaving unusually, and it appears in the same order in house after house on this estate, which is why it goes on the list at the start rather than being discovered on the morning a clerk is already booked in.
What the end of tenancy cleaning covers

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.

| Stairs and landing carpet | £45 to £85 |

This is a housing association relet rather than a private tenancy. Is that different?
The standard of work is the same, the paperwork is not. A private tenancy has a deposit in a scheme and a clerk deciding what comes out of it, so the clean is evidence in a possible dispute and we itemise it accordingly. A relet gets checked against the landlord's own void standard by their own officer, and what they want is a property fit to hand to the next household. Tell us which one it is and we work to the right one.
How soon after the keys go back can it be done?
Normally within a day or two, and sooner if the dates reach us before the tenant leaves instead of after. What actually decides it is whether the house is genuinely empty. Furniture left behind, a store still full, a fridge nobody emptied: that turns a costed job into an unknown one and it cannot be cleaned around. If anything is still in the property when you book, say so rather than letting us find it.
Does the garden store and the shed come into it?
Only if it is agreed at the start, and it often should be. Outside storage on these plots gets used for everything a household could not face taking with them, and a clerk photographs it because it forms part of the let. Sweeping out a store, clearing cobwebs and leaving it empty is quick. Removing a fridge freezer or a sofa somebody left in there is not cleaning, it is a waste job, and it needs booking as one.
Are the carpets included or is that separate?
Vacuuming throughout is part of the clean. Hot water extraction is a separate item and it should be, because it needs a different machine, a different amount of time and drying afterwards. Whether it is worth doing depends on what the tenancy agreement asked for and on what is actually in the pile. Tell us at the point of booking rather than on the day, because it changes the length of the visit and it wants doing last, not first.
Do you cover the whole of Top Valley?
Yes, all of NG5 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 Top Valley?
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 Top Valley?
One to two weeks normally, three weeks between late June and August when tenancies across Nottingham end together. Parking is rarely the problem; reaching the door is, and we group Top Valley with Bestwood, Rise Park and Bulwell on the rota.
