Working in Exeter: what we plan for
University of Exeter drives heavy summer turnover in EX4; the city centre's medieval streets restrict van size. Local property mix: Georgian terraces near the cathedral, Victorian villas in St Leonards, and dense student conversions around the university in EX4.
Sensitive cleaning on period stock
Period properties need a slightly gentler touch — original sash windows, lime-plaster walls, lath-and-plaster ceilings and softwood floorboards don't behave like modern equivalents. We use lower-pressure techniques in old kitchens and bathrooms, and we know which finishes (e.g. shellac on a Georgian banister) shouldn't see modern solvents. On handyman jobs we use timber-fixings on lath-and-plaster ceilings rather than plasterboard plugs.
Deposit protection 101 in this market
In rental-heavy postcodes, deposits run through DPS, MyDeposits or TDS, and disputes hinge on the inventory check-in against the check-out. The cleanest properties at check-out are the ones where the cleaner has the original check-in inventory and works to it. Send us the inventory along with the quote — we'll print and follow it.
What's included
Construction dust is microscopically fine and clings to every horizontal surface, including the inside of light fittings and the tops of skirting boards. After-builders cleaning is a specialist three-pass process — gross debris, fine dust, then a polish-and-finish pass — to leave a refurb ready for handover or move-in.
- Removal of plaster, paint and adhesive residue
- Fine dust off every surface, including high level
- Inside cupboards, drawers and new appliances
- Window glass, frames and tracks
- Floor wash, polish or wax as appropriate

What affects the quote
We don't publish a per-job price because every property and access situation in Exeter is different. These are the factors our quoting team weighs.
- Project scale (single room vs. whole house)
- Skim-plastered area (more dust)
- New flooring type (specialist care)
- Number of new fixtures
- Site access and waste left on site
