Schedules are built around your tenancy turnover and licence conditions. ### Who it's for HMO operators, professional landlords, letting agents managing HMO portfolios, and student-let providers running shared-house portfolios across Bristol. ### When to book Communal areas typically need weekly or fortnightly cleaning depending on occupancy and licence conditions. Room changeovers happen on tenancy end dates throughout the year, often with tight turnaround windows between outgoing and incoming tenants. ### Why professional matters Bristol HMO licensing requires specific cleanliness standards in communal areas, and tenancy changeovers in shared houses have higher friction than single lets — multiple deposits, multiple inventories, multiple expectations. A reliable specialist cleaner removes both compliance risk and operational drag. The cost of getting it wrong ## Why HMO cleaning fails when it does Most HMO cleaning problems trace back to one of three causes: a cleaner who treats it like a normal domestic clean and underestimates the wear, no clear scope so things are missed, or no cover when the regular cleaner is unavailable. The result is licence risk, complaints from tenants, and properties that look tired after only a few months. A proper HMO contract addresses all three from day one. ### Common mistakes we see - !Booking a domestic cleaner who isn't equipped for the kitchen grease and limescale levels in shared houses - !No written scope for what 'communal cleaning' actually means — disputes inevitable - !No cover plan when the cleaner is sick or on holiday, leading to missed weeks - !Skipping deep work between tenancy changeovers, building up grime that's expensive to fix later - !Not co-ordinating with tenancy-end dates, so the cleaner arrives before the room is empty Our process ## A clear, repeatable system — start to guarantee. - 01 ### Site walk-through We assess the property, occupancy and licence requirements, and agree a clear scope for communal cleaning. - 02 ### Schedule & pricing Fixed monthly cost with named visit days, plus per-room pricing for changeovers. - 03 ### Communal delivery Scheduled visits to the agreed scope. Same operative where possible to keep standards consistent. - 04 ### Changeover cleans Booked against your tenancy-end dates — single rooms or whole-property turnovers, often with same-day turnaround. - 05 ### Periodic deep work Quarterly or bi-annual deep cleans (oven, extractor, communal carpets) scheduled into the contract. The benefits ## What you actually get when you book us. ### Licence-aware standards We understand the cleanliness expectations in licensed HMOs and clean to that level by default. ### Fast changeover slots Same-day room turnovers between tenants, including weekends. ### Single point of contact One number for everything — communal schedules, changeovers, ad-hoc deep work. ### Cover when needed We don't drop visits — cover capacity built into the contract. ### Fixed monthly pricing Predictable budget with clear add-on pricing for changeovers and periodic work. ### Carpet add-on Hot-water extraction available between tenancies — the standard expected in most professional HMO operations. In detail ## HMO cleaning across Bristol — what's specific HMO cleaning sits between commercial and domestic — it has the throughput of commercial work and the detail of domestic cleaning. Below are the specifics that shape a good HMO contract. ### Communal kitchens — the hardest single room A communal kitchen with 5–8 occupants accumulates grease, limescale and bin residue at multiples of a normal kitchen. Standard wipe-down isn't enough. Our communal kitchen scope includes degreasing the extractor canopy and filters periodically, descaling tap bases and kettles, and a thorough clean of fridge/freezer fronts and shared cupboard exteriors at every visit. ### Communal bathrooms Multiple users mean limescale, mould and toilet hygiene need attention every visit. We include shower screen and tap descaler treatment as standard and treat ceiling corners for mould bloom. ### Hallways, stairs and entrance areas High-traffic zones in HMOs build up dirt fast. Vacuuming hard floors and carpets, mopping, and entrance mat maintenance are part of every visit. Door frames and switches are wiped at intervals — they show fingerprint build-up quickly. ### Room changeovers Between tenants, individual rooms get the equivalent of an end-of-tenancy clean: full wipe-down, behind and inside furniture (where left), windows, sills, wardrobes, mattress vacuum and floor clean. Carpet extraction available as add-on. ### Gardens and external areas Where the licence specifies, we maintain bin areas, side passages and small garden areas — at minimum keeping bins clean and free of vermin attractants. ### Documentation and reporting For licence inspections, we can supply visit logs and photographs of communal areas after each clean. Useful for both compliance evidence and dispute prevention with tenants. FAQs ## Straight answers, no small print. Still unsure? Call 07840 257804.
