We don't do these jobs ourselves. We know who does.

We're Clapham End of Tenancy Cleaning. Our trade is end-of-tenancy cleaning. Post-build, hoarder, biohazard, fire damage, severe mould and post-pest work sits outside it, so we do not take those jobs on ourselves. We refer them to vetted specialist teams who cover South West London and travel. Before anyone attends we check public liability cover, registration to carry the waste the job produces and, where the property is occupied, DBS status, and we tell you the firm and what we checked. One phone call, no shopping around.

What it is. After builders, joiners, or decorators leave, the property is full of fine construction dust that bonds to surfaces and gets into vents, sockets, and rails. Standard cleaning will not shift it. Specialist post-build kit will.

When you'd need this. You've just finished an extension, a loft conversion, a kitchen refit, a new-build handover, a full refurbishment, or any job where trades and dust have been in the space for weeks.

What the specialist does. HEPA-filtered vacuuming through every room. Hand-wiping every surface and fitting. Removing builder's marks from glass, tiles, and worktops. Cleaning windows inside and out. Full sanitation before handover.

What it is. Cleaning after blood, bodily fluids, decomposition, sewage, or other contamination. Requires PPE, hospital-grade chemicals, and waste disposal under hazardous-waste regulations.

When you'd need this. Following a death in the property (especially unattended). After a serious accident. After a crime scene released by police. After sewage flooding or a burst pipe in a contaminated area.

What the specialist does. Full PPE-protected cleaning with hospital-grade chemicals. Removal of contaminated materials (carpets, soft furnishings, sometimes plasterboard or floorboards). Waste disposal through regulated channels. Certificate of cleanliness for insurance, sale, or landlord records.

What it is. Removing serious mould (black mould, structural mould, mould affecting whole walls or ceilings). Standard end-of-tenancy cleans handle light surface mould; this is for cases where it has spread, gone deep into plaster, or there is a health concern.

When you'd need this. Severe black mould in a bathroom, bedroom, or kitchen. Mould growing on plasterboard or behind furniture. Mould that keeps coming back after cleaning. Property after a leak, flood, or condensation issue. Anywhere a doctor or HSE has flagged a health concern.

What the specialist does. Mould identification (different types need different treatments). HEPA-filtered air scrubbing during the work. Antifungal treatment of affected surfaces. Removal of mould-damaged materials where remediation is needed (plasterboard, sealant, sometimes flooring). Root-cause assessment so the mould does not return.

Ten years in the cleaning trade is long enough to know what a competent job looks like and what to ask a firm before you put a customer in front of it. So we ask. Public liability cover, registration to carry the waste the job produces, DBS status where the property is occupied, and a straight answer on when they can actually attend. You get the firm's name and the list of what we checked, before anyone knocks.

You also get one conversation instead of three. We listen to what has happened, work out which team fits, and brief them before they ring you, so their first question is not "what happened". You skip the calling around, the price-shopping and the "do you handle that?" runaround.

And we know this patch. A garden flat off Bedford Road, a third-floor mansion flat on Prince of Wales Drive with no lift, and a managed tower at Nine Elms where everything goes in through a concierge are three different jobs before anyone opens a bottle of disinfectant. Wandsworth sells a trade permit on the day; Lambeth's trader voucher needs verifying in advance. All of that goes in the brief.

It costs you nothing. We make our money from the introduction, not from you. The price you pay the specialist is the price they quote you. We do not add a markup.

If you'd rather find a specialist yourself, fair enough. But if you want to make one call and have the rest sorted, that's what we do.
