End of Tenancy Cleaning in Chester

A historic city of period homes

Chester is a Roman and Georgian city, and the housing shows it — Georgian and Victorian terraces, flats above and behind the medieval Rows, and the conservation-area streets of Handbridge, Hoole and Queen’s Park. Period homes check out on the things age throws up: sash windows, high cornices and picture rails, deep skirtings and original floors, all of which a clerk marks closely. The walled city centre is full of flats over commercial frontages, where access is as much of the puzzle as the clean.

The water here is soft — Chester draws from the River Dee through Hafren Dyfrdwy — so limescale is rarely the issue it is down south. The deductions come from the oven, the floors and the windows, and from carpet wear in the rented terraces.

• Sash windows, high cornices and original floors in the Georgian and Victorian terraces
• Flats above the Rows and inside the walls, where access takes planning
• Conservation-area homes in Handbridge, Hoole and Queen’s Park

What it costs in Chester

A studio is from £149, a one-bed £169, a two-bed £219, a three-bed £269 and a four-bed £329 for a standard clean; larger period houses are priced on the property.

Local quotes run from about £130 to £340. A big Georgian house in Queen’s Park or a Handbridge family home, with several bathrooms and original floors, is the job that climbs; the wood floors are cleaned and buffed as part of the price, not a carpet add-on. Send the details and we’ll fix the figure.

Original floors buffed, not billed as carpet.

Parking and access on move-out day

The walled city centre is heavily controlled — permit bays and limited loading — so for a flat over the Rows we use the commercial-vehicle dispensation, sort a permit or load in and out on a plan. Out in Hoole, Handbridge, Boughton and the suburbs there is more on-street and driveway parking, so the van is closer to the door. There is no London ULEZ and no charging clean-air zone in Chester.

Tell us the address when you book and we plan around it.

We clean to the report

Chester lettings run through agents like Beresford Adams, Cavendish and Savills, and a check-out is usually an itemised clerk’s report. We clean against it room by room — the sash windows and cornices in the period homes, the floors and the oven, the high-traffic carpets in the University of Chester student lets.

Send the check-in inventory or the check-out report with your details and we work straight off it.
