Move cleans booked around your handover

Sheerness terraces need a different clean from a Minster-on-Sea new build, and we book both around your move date. Our vetted cleaning teams handle end-of-tenancy cleaning, moving-in deep cleans, and one-off move-out cleans for owned homes, with pricing set by property size rather than guesswork. That means you get a clear quote for a studio, a 2-bed house, or a larger family place near the Dockyard without having to wait for a long site visit.

Across the island, we see a mix of homes that need a careful hand. The conservation areas around Sheerness Dockyard, Mile Town and Marine Town bring older surfaces, while Shurland Park, Blake Gardens and the Eastchurch affordable homes scheme bring newer layouts, fitted kitchens and fewer hidden corners. Our cleaners come ready for the sort of jobs that matter at handover, from a greasy hob in Leysdown-on-Sea to dust in a cupboard run in Queenborough.

When You Need a Move Clean

A move clean fits more situations than a rented flat on High Street, Sheerness. Tenants book it for an end-of-tenancy handover, where the checklist is tighter than a weekly tidy and the kitchen or bathroom has to be left in proper order. Buyers use it before moving into a house in Minster-on-Sea or Eastchurch, because it is easier to clean behind furniture and appliances before anything is unpacked. Owners also book it after a sale, when they want the place ready for the next set of keys rather than full of dust from boxes, packing tape and builders' debris.

The island has a lot of older stock, especially around Sheerness Dockyard and Marine Town, and those homes tend to show dust in skirting gaps, frame edges and cupboard runs. Newer schemes such as Shurland Park, Blake Gardens and the Eastchurch affordable homes development still benefit from a deep clean, just for different reasons. Fitted kitchens need the inside of cupboards wiped through, and bathrooms need limescale dealt with before a new fridge, bed or sofa goes in. That is the point of a move clean. It gets you to handover standard rather than routine-clean standard.

Post-renovation work is another common reason. A builders' clean makes sense after a kitchen refit in Halfway, a loft job in Queenborough or a bathroom upgrade near the B2008, where plaster dust settles on every surface and the floor needs more than a quick vacuum. It also helps with properties that sit close to the coast, because moisture and salt air can leave windows and frames looking dull sooner than expected. If the place has been empty for a while, or if it has been used as a holiday let on the north coast, a one-off deep clean resets it properly.

What's Included in a Move Clean

The checklist is built around the places people notice first. Kitchens get attention inside cupboards, on the hob, under the extractor and around the oven, while bathrooms are treated for limescale, grout and sealant lines that have gone dull in a damp coastal property. Floors are vacuumed and mopped, with care for hardwood, tile and the kind of mixed flooring you still see in some of the older Sheerness homes around the Dockyard.

We also clean interior windows, skirting boards, door frames and light fixtures, because those are the spots that often fail a checkout inspection in a Marine Town flat or a house in Eastchurch. If a property has a conservatory, a long hallway or a row of fitted cupboards, our cleaners work through each section methodically. That matters on the Isle of Sheppey, where some homes are compact and others have awkward layouts that collect dust in more places than you'd expect.

What's Included in a Move Clean

Booking Your Move Clean

1

Tell us the size and date

Send us your property size, the clean date and the area, whether that is Sheerness, Minster-on-Sea, Eastchurch or Leysdown-on-Sea.

2

We price by studio, 1-bed, 2-bed, 3-bed, 4-bed or 5+ bed, so the quote tracks the job rather than the postcode.

4

Cleaners arrive on the day

Our team turns up with the kit they need and gets to work on the kitchen, bathroom, floors and fixtures.

5

Checklist completed and signed

We walk through the finished clean with you, note what has been done and leave you with a completed checklist.

Book the clean for the day before key handback

A clean booked for the day before you hand back the keys gives you time for one last walk-through. Letting agents inspect against a checklist, and that extra day can catch a missed shelf in Mile Town or a stubborn mark in a Minster-on-Sea kitchen before the property is signed off.

End-of-Tenancy Cleaning Standards

End-of-tenancy cleaning has a tighter spec than a standard deep clean. Agents look for a property that is ready for inspection, not just one that looks presentable after the hoover has been round. In a Sheerness Dockyard terrace or a newer flat in Blake Gardens, that means the kitchen and bathroom need a full deep clean, with the cooker, cupboards and hard-to-reach areas treated properly. No dust on any surface is the simple rule we work to.

Our teams clean inside the oven, behind appliances, inside cupboards, along skirting boards, around door frames and across all floors. Interior windows get attention too, which matters in homes near the Port of Sheerness or the coastal roads towards Leysdown-on-Sea, where salty air and weather marks show up sooner. We do not promise an outcome on deposits, because that sits between the tenant and the landlord, but we do work to the kind of checklist a checkout inspection is built around.

Older homes in the conservation areas around Sheerness can need a careful touch, especially where original timber, older paintwork or awkward recesses are involved. The same applies to newer homes that have a lot of fitted storage, because cupboards collect dust at the top, the hinge side and right back along the shelf edge. If the property has been empty for a while, or if it has just come out of a renovation on the island, we adapt the clean to the rooms that need the most work rather than ticking through the easy bits first.

  • Kitchen and bathroom deep clean
  • Inside oven
  • Behind appliances
  • Inside cupboards
  • All floors
  • All windows inside
  • Skirting and door frames
  • No dust on any surface

Add-Ons That Are Worth It

Some add-ons are worth booking at the same time as the main clean. Carpet cleaning is often requested because agents may want a professional finish in a rented house or flat, and we price it from £25/room. Oven deep cleaning starts from £45 if it is not already included, while exterior windows start from £45 and are a smart choice for coastal homes where spray and rain leave marks quickly.

Outside jobs can matter just as much as the indoor work. A garden or yard tidy helps if a house in Eastchurch or Queenborough has been left with clutter after a move, and exterior windows make a clear difference on a property facing the open weather around Warden Bay. In a holiday-let turnround on the north coast, those extras are often the difference between a rushed clean and a property that looks ready for the next guest.

Add-Ons That Are Worth It

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a move clean take?

A 1-bed property usually takes 3-4 hours, and a 3-bed house often takes 5-7 hours. Time changes with layout, access and the amount of built-up dirt, so a compact flat in Sheerness Dockyard will not take the same slot as a larger house in Minster-on-Sea.

Do you bring your own equipment and products?

Yes, our cleaners bring the equipment and cleaning products needed for the booked job. That matters on the Isle of Sheppey because a kitchen in an older Marine Town property may need different treatment from a newer home at Shurland Park.

What is not included in a move clean?

We do not include waste removal, moving heavy furniture around the house, or specialist external work unless those extras are booked separately. A yard tidy in Eastchurch or exterior window cleaning in Leysdown-on-Sea is treated as an add-on, not part of the core clean.

How does a move clean compare with a regular weekly clean?

A weekly clean keeps things in order, but it does not normally reach the same depth. A move clean gets into cupboards, behind appliances, around skirting boards and across the oven, which is why it suits handovers in Queenborough, Sheerness and the newer homes around Blake Gardens.

What if there is a dispute over the standard?

We review the checklist with you and look at the flagged areas first. Most issues are small, such as a missed shelf or a mark near a door frame, and photos from the day make it easier to compare the result with the booking notes for the property.

Are your cleaners insured?

Yes, all Homemove cleaning teams are insured. That covers the work carried out in flats, houses and rented homes across the island, including properties in Minster-on-Sea, Eastchurch and Sheerness.

Can I book the clean for the day before I hand back the keys?

Yes, and we recommend it. A clean the day before handback gives you time to spot anything that needs a final touch, especially in homes with a lot of storage, a long hallway or a kitchen that still needs a close inspection.
