Why people in Portsmouth choose ExpertHome
University of Portsmouth and the naval base sustain heavy demand for cleaning and clearance in PO1–PO5. Local property mix: Dense rows of Victorian terraces; Portsmouth is one of the UK's most densely populated cities.
Working with terrace layouts
Victorian terraces share a particular set of challenges: hallway access, tight stair turns to the first floor, sash windows that don't always open fully, and shared front-path access with the neighbours. Our crews know how to wrap, tilt and turn furniture through tight turns without scuffing walls — and we carry door-jamb protectors and floor runners as standard, not extras. On bay-window properties we also know when a piece won't go up the stairs and needs to come in through the bay.
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
An end of tenancy clean is the deep, top-to-bottom reset a property needs at the end of an Assured Shorthold Tenancy so it matches the move-in inventory and the deposit can be returned in full. ExpertHome works to the AIIC / APIP inventory standard used by most UK letting agents — every appliance is degreased inside and out, every cupboard is emptied and wiped, every limescale spot in the bathroom is treated, and the property is left ready for a check-out inspection.
- Oven dismantled — door glass, racks, trays and hob detailed
- Extractor hood, filters and tiled splashback degreased
- Fridge and freezer defrosted, washed and deodorised
- Kitchen cupboards emptied and wiped inside, out and on top
- Bathroom limescale removal from taps, glass, tiles and grout
- Toilets sanitised including base, seat hinges and cistern
- Inside windows, frames, sills, tracks and trickle vents
- Skirting boards, switches, sockets and door frames wiped
- Carpets vacuumed; hard floors mopped and edge-detailed
- Wardrobes, drawers and shelving emptied and dust-free
- Walls spot-cleaned for marks (deep stains noted, not painted)
- Bins washed and replaced with a fresh liner

What affects the quote
We don't publish a per-job price because every property and access situation in Portsmouth is different. These are the factors our quoting team weighs.
- Number of bedrooms, bathrooms and reception rooms
- General condition — lived-in vs. hard wear (smoking, pets, mould)
- Whether carpets need professional extraction on top
- Oven, hob and extractor condition (heavy carbon takes longer)
- Limescale severity in the bathroom
- Furnished or unfurnished (cupboards and drawers add detailing time)
- Parking and access — top-floor with no lift adds carry time
