What makes Brighton and Hove different
University of Sussex and Brighton support a substantial student rental cycle; the city's tourism market also drives short-let cleaning demand. Local property mix: Regency seafront terraces, dense Victorian terraces in Hanover and Kemptown, mansion blocks along Hove seafront.
Coastal properties, salt-air realities
Salt air corrodes faster than inland equivalents — uPVC windows yellow on the sunward elevation, external metalwork pits, and patio surfaces grow algae more quickly because of constant humidity. Cleaning routines on the coast benefit from more frequent jet washes, attention to window-track drainage, and treating any external timber seasonally. We adjust schedules and chemistry to the coastal environment when we know the property is near the sea.
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.
What's included
Carpets trap dust, allergens and odours that vacuuming alone can't reach. ExpertHome uses hot-water extraction (HWE, the method specified by most carpet manufacturers) with pre-spray, agitation, rinse and a powerful wet-vac recovery — leaving fibres genuinely clean and dry within hours, not days.
- Vacuum and inspection of every room
- Pre-treatment of stains and traffic lanes
- Hot-water extraction with rinse
- Pile rake and grooming
- Pet odour treatment available on request
How we deliver this in Brighton and Hove
- 1Pre-vacuum to lift dry soil — the single biggest factor in a good HWE result.
- 2Pre-spray a carpet-safe alkaline pre-treatment; allow dwell time.
- 3Agitate with a counter-rotating brush or wand strokes. (In Brighton and Hove specifically: Tight one-way systems and resident parking zones across BN1 and BN2; the seafront restricts access during summer events.)
- 4Hot-water extraction with overlapping wet/dry passes.
- 5Speed-dry with air movers in winter or for fast turnaround.
