Why sellers book it
What a pre-sale clean in Chessington actually buys you
Photographs sell the viewing
Portal thumbnails are how a London buyer decides whether to book. Clean glass, clear worktops and lifted traffic lanes change how bright and how large a room photographs — before anyone stages a single cushion.
Presentation is priced into offers
Limescale, grease film and pet odour read as deferred maintenance, and buyers deduct for them far more heavily than the clean would ever cost. Removing them removes the excuse for a reduction.
Timed around the agent, not the diary
We book to your photography slot, first open house or valuation, including early mornings and weekends, so the property peaks on the day it matters rather than three days before.
One team, one fixed price
DBS-checked cleaners, £5m public liability, parking, permits and ULEZ inside the price, and a 48-hour promise: if we missed something, we come back free.
In buyer order
The rooms a buyer judges and the order we clean them
Front door and hallway
The first ten seconds of a viewing. Door furniture polished, glass in the door cleaned both sides, hallway floor edged by hand, coats and shoes cleared to make the space read wider than it is.
Kitchen
Worktops, splashbacks, cupboard fronts, handles, extractor and the oven interior. Grease film flattens light in photographs; removing it is what makes a kitchen look newer than it is.
Bathrooms and en-suites
Limescale off screens, taps and tiles, grout brightened, silicone treated for mould and chrome polished. Buyers price a tired bathroom into their offer.
Windows and light
Glass, frames, cills, tracks and trickle vents inside, plus external glass as an add-on. Every agent photograph is a light photograph.
Floors and traffic lanes
Correct product for the finish, edges by hand, and extraction on carpets to lift traffic lanes and the dark edging along skirtings.
Smell
Bins, drains, waste traps, soft furnishings and pet areas treated at source. Air freshener over an odour reads as a hidden problem.

How it works
Booking a Chessington pre-sale clean around the listing date
- Tell us the listing date, not just the bedroomsPhotography day, first open house and completion are three different jobs. Give us the date the photographer arrives and we work backwards from it.
- Get a fixed price in about a minuteChoose the property size and the tier — photo-ready presentation or the full pre-sale reset — and the price on screen is the price on the day, with parking, permits and ULEZ already inside it.
- The presentation clean, in buyer orderA DBS-checked team works the rooms in the order buyers judge them: entrance, kitchen, bathrooms, light, floors and odour, top down, with the styling tidy last.
- Photography-day check and touch-upWe can hold a short visit for the morning of the shoot or the open house so glass, worktops and floors are put back to photograph condition after a week of living in the property.
- Walk-round, snag sheet and the 48-hour promiseWe walk the property with you before we leave. If anything is missed, tell us within 48 hours and we come back and put it right free of charge.
