Re-let cleaning for landlords in Dublin

What's included

• Clean between tenancies
• Add windows, gutters or the driveway on the same booking
• One contact for the whole job

Signs it's time

• A tenant has given notice
• The property is going up for viewings
• The outside looks tired in the listing photos
• You need one person to sort inside and out
• The windows and paving were not done during the tenancy
• Gutters or the roof have not been looked at in years
• The driveway or patio has gone green since the last tenant moved in

How often

Once per change of tenant. Some landlords also add a window or gutter clean once or twice a year while the property is let, since tenants rarely do the outside themselves and upstairs windows and gutters need a ladder.

Why it matters

The gap between tenants is short, and every week a property sits empty costs rent. A single booking for the clean and the outside saves chasing several trades.

First impressions at a viewing come from the front: the windows, the path and the driveway. Clean glass and paving make a property easier to let.

Gutters and roofs are easy to overlook during a tenancy. The change between tenants is a good time to check and clear them.

A property handed over clean, inside and out, gives you a clear starting point for the next tenancy and makes it easier to agree on its condition at the end.
