Local realities in Portobello and Craigmillar — and how we adapt
Portobello and Craigmillar sits in City of Edinburgh, within the Scotland region. Our local crews know the area and the addresses they cover daily.
Scottish tenancy realities
Scottish private tenancies (PRTs) work differently from English ASTs — open-ended, with notice driven by the tenant or by limited grounds for the landlord. End-of-tenancy cleaning still works to physical inventory standards but the calendar isn't tied to fixed terms. Tell us your move-out date and we'll plan around it.
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.
What's included
A deep clean addresses the build-up a regular weekly clean can't reach — limescale, kitchen grease, dust behind radiators, skirting board grime and the inside of every appliance. It's the right service after illness, before a baby arrives, after long periods away, or as a one-off reset before regular cleaning starts.

How do I get a quote?
Complete the quote form on this page with a few details about your property and we will email you a tailored quote.
How is a deep clean different from a regular clean?
A regular clean maintains an already-clean property. A deep clean tackles years of build-up: inside appliances, behind furniture, limescale, grout, radiators and skirting boards.
Should I book deep cleaning or end of tenancy cleaning?
Choose end of tenancy if you're moving out and need the inventory standard; otherwise a deep clean is the right call.
