End of Tenancy Cleaning in Wollaton

End of Tenancy Cleaning for Wollaton homes

Family houses let to professionals and academics, where conservatories and garden rooms are inventory items in their own right. Glass is what gets inspected, and glass is what gets missed.

Family lets in Wollaton are bigger than the city average, and the check-out list is longer for reasons that are specific to the housing. A conservatory or garden room is recorded on the inventory as a room, so it needs the same treatment as a lounge plus every pane of its glazing. French doors get inspected open, which means the threshold track and the drainage slots are looked at rather than glanced over. Most properties have a garage or a driveway on the schedule too. The other quirk is timing: family tenancies here tend to end in the school holidays rather than in the student wave, so the busy weeks are different from Lenton or Beeston.

Wollaton sits in NG8, under Nottingham City Council. Family homes, and more glass than anywhere else on our patch. Conservatories, French doors and large bay windows mean interior window cleaning is booked here far more often than average.

What we run into on Wollaton end of tenancy cleaning jobs

The threshold track under a set of French or sliding doors is the item clerks find and tenants never think about. It is an aluminium channel with weep slots at the bottom, and after a couple of years it holds a compacted line of grit, grass seed and pet hair that stops the doors closing sweetly and shows in a photograph. It comes out with a narrow crevice tool, then a stiff brush, then a wipe. Five minutes, and it is the difference between a clean set of doors and a marked one.

How a Wollaton end of tenancy cleaning job actually runs

Tenancies in these houses run long, often several years with the same family, and that changes the job at the end of one. There is more accumulated wear than in a property that turns over every summer, and there are outbuildings in play: a shed, a garage, sometimes a greenhouse, and a loft that has been used for storage. All of those can appear on an inventory taken at check-in. The sequence that works is furniture out on one day, us in on the next, and the check-out appointment at least a day after that, which the longer void on a family let makes possible in a way it is not on a student one. Keys usually come from an agent's office rather than from the property, so we collect on the morning we start and hand back the same day. Move out dates concentrate at the end of August, because families time the move to the school year rather than to a university term. The busy weeks here therefore fall a clear month after the busy weeks on the student side of the city.

Who books it here

Family homes with conservatories and a lot of glass, so interior windows and conservatory roofs come up more here than anywhere else we work.

We run Wollaton on the same round as Bilborough, Beeston and The Park Estate.

What we check on every Wollaton job

The items raised at check-out in a family house are not the ones raised in a flat. A double oven means two cavities, two door glasses with a removable inner pane, two sets of side runners and a grill pan, and the lower cavity is almost always the neglected one. Burner crowns on a gas hob have to go back the right way round or they will not seat, and a clerk notices a cap that rocks. Recirculating extractor hoods take a charcoal filter that cannot be washed, only replaced, and in a house let for years it has never been changed once. Fitted wardrobe tops in the smallest bedroom sit above eye level for everyone who has lived there. Outside, the wheelie bins, the outside tap and the gully by the back door that packs with leaves through autumn all get attention, because all three end up in the check-out photographs.
