STANDARD, HEAVY OR EXTREME CLEANING

Understanding Property Condition

Property condition has a significant impact on the time, labour and products required to achieve a professional result. Our three-level guide helps explain how we assess a property when preparing your quotation.

 

Property size tells us how much there is to clean. Property condition tells us how much work is required.

The examples shown on this page are representative and are intended to help explain the differences between Standard, Heavy and Extreme cleaning conditions.

Modern living room with grey sectional sofa, round coffee table and floor-to-ceiling windows

STANDARD

A generally maintained property with normal signs of occupancy. Light dust, everyday marks and routine kitchen or bathroom build-up may be present, but there is no significant accumulated or long-standing soiling.

✓ Generally well maintained
✓ Light marks and everyday use
✓ Suitable for routine end-of-tenancy preparation
Heavily soiled carpet with visible staining, marks and embedded dirt before professional cleaning

HEAVY

A noticeably more demanding property with heavier build-up, accumulated dust, grease, limescale or staining across multiple areas. More time, labour and specialist products may be required to achieve the expected professional standard.

✓ Noticeable accumulated build-up
✓ Heavier grease, limescale, marks or staining
✓ Requires additional cleaning time and labour
Heavily soiled gas hob burner base with burnt-on grease, food residue and grime

EXTREME

A property with extensive or long-standing build-up, heavy grease, thick limescale, ingrained grime or significant soiling across multiple areas. Substantially more time, labour and repeated treatment may be required to achieve the best possible professional result.

✓Severe or long-standing build-up
✓Heavy grease, limescale, ingrained grime or significant soiling
✓Requires substantially more cleaning time and labour

MORE EXAMPLES OF PROPERTY CONDITION

Every property is different. The examples below show typical signs we may consider when assessing Standard, Heavy or Extreme cleaning conditions. We assess the overall condition of the property, rather than judging it by one individual area or item.

HEAVY

Heavily soiled oven interior and glass door with baked-on grease and residue

NOT SURE WHICH CONDITION APPLIES TO YOUR PROPERTY?

You do not need to decide the category yourself. Send us a few photographs or a short video together with your property details and we will  assess the likely level of cleaning required.
