Your new house deep cleaned before you move in. Every cupboard wiped, floors scrubbed, bathrooms gleaming. Unpack into a fresh, clean home instead of cleaning around boxes for weeks.
### Start Fresh In Your New Home
You've got the keys to your **new house** and it's... not as clean as you'd like. Previous owners' idea of clean doesn't match yours, there's dust from being empty, marks in cupboards, and you don't want to unpack into someone else's grime.
Pre-move cleaning means you're starting properly fresh - cupboards clean before you fill them, bathrooms spotless before you use them.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Book this before completion if possible, while property's empty. Way easier to clean properly without furniture in the way.

Good to Know
> 🏠 **Full new home setup?** I can clean before you move in, then help with unpacking, furniture assembly, curtain hanging - complete settling-in service. **Timing is everything:** Cleaning an empty house takes half the time and gets twice as clean as trying to clean around furniture. If you can get access between completion and removal van arriving, it's worth it. **Exeter older properties:** Victorian and Edwardian houses often have cupboards and features the previous owners couldn't reach properly. Starting with a proper deep clean makes a big difference. **Combine with repairs:** If there's minor making good needed (filling holes from pictures, touching up paint), I can combine it with the clean - everything sorted before you move in. **New builds:** Even brand new houses need cleaning before move-in - building dust everywhere, marks from construction, windows covered in cement splashes. Don't assume new = clean.
Frequently Asked Questions about Cleaning before move in in Ottery St Mary
Why clean a house before moving in?
Previous owners' standards might not match yours. Even if they cleaned, there's dust from being empty, marks in cupboards, bathroom needs a proper going-over. Starting with a deep clean means you're unpacking into a fresh, clean space.
What gets cleaned in a pre-move clean?
Kitchen (inside all cupboards, surfaces, appliances if left), bathrooms (full deep clean), all floors, windows, skirting boards, light switches. Basically everything, ready for you to move your stuff in.
When should I book this?
Ideally between exchange and completion while the property's empty. Much easier to clean thoroughly when there's no furniture in the way. If that's not possible, day 1 after completion before the removal van arrives.
Do I need to provide cleaning products?
No - I bring everything needed. Just need access to water and electric (property should have these turned on by completion anyway).
How much does it cost?
Depends on property size and condition. 2-bed terrace might be £150-200, 4-bed house £250-350. I'll quote accurately once I know what I'm dealing with. Call for specific quote.
