A move clean booked around your Aberdeen handover

Move day is busy enough. Our vetted cleaning teams handle the deep clean so the property is ready for a handover in Aberdeen, with clear pricing based on property size and a checklist-led finish. You tell us the size of your place and your preferred date, we book the right size of clean, then the team arrives with products and equipment and works room-by-room. This is built for one-off needs like end-of-tenancy cleaning, a move-in reset before furniture arrives, or a sale-move clean for owned homes.

Aberdeen has a lot of granite homes and older flats, especially around Old Aberdeen, Rosemount and the Union Street area, where dust in coving, paint flakes around sash windows, and limescale in hard-water spots can take time to shift. Our move cleans are set up for that reality. If you are moving out near the River Dee corridor or closer to the coast where wind-driven grit builds up on internal sills, we focus on the edges most people miss, skirting lines, door frames, and the inside faces of window frames.

When You Need a Move Clean in Aberdeen

End-of-tenancy cleaning is the big one. If you are handing keys back on Union Street, in Ferryhill, or up in Bridge of Don, the standard is usually tighter than a normal deep clean, and it is checked against a list. That means inside cupboards, a degreased hob area, limescale removed, and floors finished properly, not just vacuumed. Our teams clean with that inspection in mind, so you have a clear, room-by-room spec to show what was done.

Moving into a place in Countesswells, Hazelwood (AB15 8LX), or Grandhome in Bridge of Don (AB22) often comes with new-build dust, sticker residue, and fine grit in window tracks. It looks small, then it spreads as soon as boxes arrive. A pre-move-in clean works best on the day you get access, before the van turns up, so cupboards, shelves and fridge space are ready for food and kitchenware. Quick win, less re-cleaning later.

Selling and moving out of an owned home is different. Viewings and surveys bring people through, then you still need it left in a tidy state for completion. In Aberdeen, where older granite properties can hold onto dust in deep skirtings and around radiators, a move-out clean helps the place present well and removes day-to-day build-up that sits in corners. We see this a lot in older streets around Bon Accord and St Nicholas, and in traditional flats where the kitchen grease lingers above the door line.

Post-renovation and builders’ cleans matter too. A new bathroom refit can leave grout haze on tiles and fine dust settled over everything, including light shades and the tops of doors. If you have had work done before selling, or you are moving into a renovated flat near the city centre, we can book a one-off clean focused on dust removal, detailed wipe-downs, and a proper floor finish so it feels liveable again.

  • End-of-tenancy cleans aligned to agent checklists
  • Pre-move-in deep cleans before furniture arrives
  • Move-out cleans for owned properties ahead of completion
  • Post-renovation builders’ cleans to remove dust and residue

What’s included in a Homemove move clean

Every move clean is checklist-led. In the kitchen we tackle grease and food residue where it hides, inside cupboards and drawers, the hob area, extractor hood surfaces, and the sink and taps, then we finish with floors cleaned to the edges. Ovens can be included depending on the clean you choose, and if you need a heavier oven degrease we can add an oven deep clean from £45.

Bathrooms get a proper descaling and scrub. That means attention on limescale around taps, shower screens, and the bath line, plus grout and sealant where soap scum builds. We wipe and disinfect touch points too, switches and handles, then finish by cleaning mirrors and polishing chrome so the room looks bright on inspection day. In older granite tenement bathrooms around Rosemount and Old Aberdeen, ventilation can be weaker, so we focus on corners where condensation marks show first.

Booking your Aberdeen move clean

1

Tell us the basics

Share your Aberdeen postcode (for example AB15, AB22 or AB11), property size, and your preferred clean date. If you are in a flat, tell us the floor level and if there is a lift.

2

Get an instant quote

We price by property size, so you can see the cost upfront. Add carpet cleaning from £25 per room, exterior windows from £45, or an oven deep clean from £45 if you need them.

3

Confirm the slot

Pick a time that fits your key collection or handover, then confirm. If you are coordinating with removals, booking the clean for the day before works well.

4

Cleaners arrive and get started

Our insured team arrives with equipment and products, then works through the checklist, kitchen and bathrooms first, then bedrooms and living areas, then floors last.

5

Checklist finish and sign-off

At the end, the team walks through what was completed. You get a clear record of what was covered, which helps if a landlord or buyer queries a specific area later.

A simple timing tip for Aberdeen handovers

Book the clean for the day before you return keys, not the same day. In Aberdeen that gives you time for drying, a quick final check, and it means an agent can inspect without you rushing between the property and a key drop.

End-of-tenancy cleaning standards in Aberdeen

End-of-tenancy cleans are judged on detail. In older Aberdeen flats, especially granite buildings in conservation areas like Old Aberdeen or Ferryhill, the bits that fail inspections are often small, grease on the top edge of kitchen doors, dust on skirting profiles, and scale around taps. Our end-of-tenancy spec is built around those points. It is not a “quick spruce up”, it is a room-by-room reset.

Kitchens are where time goes. We clean inside cupboards and drawers, degrease splashbacks, wipe down tiles, and pay attention to the cooker area, including the hob and the surrounding surfaces where grease spreads. We also clean behind accessible appliances where safe to do so, because crumbs and dust collect fast in tight gaps. If the property is near the coast or exposed to wind, internal window sills can get gritty, and we treat that as part of the deep dust removal.

Bathrooms are non-negotiable. Limescale on shower screens, soap residue on tile edges, and darkened grout lines are what people notice first, and what inventory checkers write down. We scrub and descale, then finish with a clean, dry polish on mirrors and chrome so it looks sharp. Floors matter too, including edges around the toilet base and behind the door swing.

Living spaces and bedrooms are about dust, marks, and floors. We wipe skirting boards, door frames, handles, and switches, and we clean interior windows so light comes through properly, which helps in granite-built properties where rooms can feel darker. Final step is floors, vacuum thoroughly, then mop hard flooring so it dries streak-free. In stairwell flats, we also recommend checking the inside of your entrance door, where scuffs build up near the latch.

  • Kitchen and bathroom deep clean to inspection standard
  • Inside oven and cooker area addressed as agreed
  • Behind accessible appliances and inside cupboards
  • All floors finished properly, including edges and corners

Add-ons that are worth booking for Aberdeen move days

Carpet cleaning is a strong add-on for end-of-tenancy moves, especially in flats where bedrooms and living rooms are fully carpeted. It lifts traffic lanes and helps remove trapped dust after furniture is moved. Pricing starts from £25 per room, and it fits well on the same day as the main clean because carpets can dry while the rest of the property is being finished.

Ovens and exterior glass are the other two. Oven degreasing is time-heavy, so if the cooker has baked-on residue, add an oven deep clean from £45 rather than hoping a standard wipe will do it. For exterior windows, Aberdeen weather can leave salt spray and grime on glass, particularly if you are nearer the coast, and exterior windows from £45 can make a big difference for viewings or a checkout report.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does an end-of-tenancy clean take in Aberdeen?

A 1-bed flat is usually 3 to 4 hours, depending on condition and how much limescale or grease has built up. A typical 3-bed house is often 5 to 7 hours, especially if there are multiple bathrooms or heavier kitchen work. Properties in older granite buildings around Old Aberdeen can take longer because dust collects in deeper edges and older fittings need more careful cleaning.

Do your cleaners bring equipment and products?

Yes. Our cleaners arrive with the products and equipment needed for a one-off move clean. If your building has restrictions, for example limited water access in a communal stairwell flat in AB25, tell us at booking so we plan around it.

What’s not included in a standard move clean?

We do not include specialist work unless it is booked as an add-on. That includes professional carpet cleaning from £25 per room, oven deep cleaning from £45 if it is not already included in your chosen clean, and exterior windows from £45. We also avoid tasks that require trades, like mould remediation beyond surface cleaning, or moving very heavy appliances where it is unsafe.

How is a move clean different from a regular weekly clean?

A weekly clean focuses on keeping on top of day-to-day mess, with lighter attention to detail so it can be done quickly and repeatedly. A move clean is a one-off deep reset, and it targets the areas that get checked during handovers, inside cupboards, skirting and door frames, and the build-up around taps, showers and cooker areas. In Aberdeen flats close to the city centre, that also often means more time on interior windows because road dust shows up fast on sills.

What if my landlord or buyer disputes the cleaning standard?

We work from a checklist and aim to leave the property at a clear, inspectable standard, but we cannot promise deposit outcomes because that decision sits with the landlord or agent. If you have specific concerns, tell us before the clean, for example “oven must be spotless” or “limescale on shower screen noted on inventory”, so the team can focus attention. Keep your check-in and check-out inventories to compare like-for-like.

Are Homemove cleaning teams insured?

Yes, all our cleaning teams are insured. That matters during move days when there is a lot of activity, keys changing hands, and sometimes tight access in blocks of flats around AB11 and AB24. If you have building management rules for contractors, share them at booking.

Can you clean a new-build property in Countesswells or Grandhome?

Yes, and it is a common request in Aberdeen. New-build cleans often focus on fine dust, sticker residue, paint specks, and making cupboards and bathrooms ready to use straight away, especially in developments like Countesswells in AB15 or Grandhome in AB22. If the property is newly handed over, tell us so we can allow time for detailed wipe-downs and a careful floor finish.

Do you clean inside cupboards, wardrobes, and drawers?

Inside kitchen cupboards and drawers are included for end-of-tenancy style specs and most deep move cleans, because that is a common inspection point. Built-in wardrobes can be cleaned too, and it helps a lot before move-in, when you want shelves ready for clothes. If you have a packed storage cupboard, emptying it before the clean saves time and keeps the result consistent.
