What makes Colchester different
Local property mix: Britain's oldest recorded town has a strong Victorian and Edwardian housing stock plus a large modern estate footprint near the garrison.
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
Even properties marketed as 'professionally cleaned' often need a real reset before you bring furniture in. A pre move in clean covers everything you'd struggle to reach once boxes are stacked — inside cupboards, behind radiators, the loft hatch, under the kitchen sink.
- Whole-property clean while empty
- Inside cupboards, wardrobes and appliances
- Bathroom sanitisation and limescale removal
