End of tenancy cleaning for Burham (ME1)
Burham sits on the side of Blue Bell Hill overlooking the River Medway, with a mix of older cottages around Church Street and Bell Lane, village terraces off Rochester Road, and newer homes linking out towards Eccles and Wouldham. We handle move-out cleans for local families, commuters and landlords all across ME1.
Our teams bring all equipment and chemicals, then work through a structured checklist based on inventory-style standards: kitchens, bathrooms, woodwork, tiles, internal glass and inside cupboards where they’re empty and accessible. At the end, we take clear photos so you’ve got proof of the condition on the day of your clean.

What’s included with our Burham end of tenancy clean
Our end of tenancy cleaning Burham checklist is built around how ME1 inventory reports are written — room-by-room and surface-by-surface, not just a general “once over”.
We degrease kitchens (units, worktops, tiles, sink and hob area), scrub and descale bathrooms, wipe down doors, frames, skirtings and reachable marks, clean internal glass and mirrors, and vacuum and mop throughout. Inside cupboards and wardrobes is included where they’re empty and accessible on the day.
Properties on the hillside towards Blue Bell Hill can pick up extra dust and cobwebs, while older cottages closer to the river often show more wear on paintwork and flooring. If anything within the agreed scope is flagged within 72 hours, we’ll return to re-clean those specific areas at no extra labour cost.
Getting your Burham property ready for handover
Burham’s hill and village layout means parking can be tight on narrow roads near Church Street, Bell Lane and the older terraces. If you have a driveway, reserved bay or a less congested spot nearby, letting us know in advance helps us unload equipment quickly and avoid blocking the lane.
Some homes closer to the river or on the roads out towards Eccles and Wouldham have shared access or unmarked parking. Clear instructions on where you’d like the team to park can save time and help keep neighbours on side on moving day.
As with any move-out, defrost fridge/freezers at least 24 hours before we arrive and empty as many cupboards, wardrobes and storage spaces as possible. If your keys are held by agents in Maidstone, Rochester or Aylesford, we can collect and return them and send a full set of photos once your Burham clean is complete.

End of tenancy cleaning Burham — real ME1 examples
Here are two real-world end of tenancy cleaning Burham jobs that show the kind of issues we see locally and what’s involved in getting a clean through check-out without drama.
Case study 1 — 2-bed cottage off Church Street
A compact 2-bed cottage just off Church Street, lived in by a professional couple for four years. Regular day-to-day cleaning had slipped towards the end of the tenancy and there was noticeable limescale in the bathroom and heavy grease on the hob and splashback.
- Full kitchen degrease including oven, hob, tiles and extractor
- Bathroom descaled — taps, shower screen, tiles and grout
- Doors, frames, skirtings and accessible marks wiped down
- Internal windows and panes cleaned, including cottage-style frames
- Floors vacuumed and mopped throughout the property
We worked while the van was being loaded, then walked through with the tenants before they dropped the keys back with the landlord. The check-out report stated “cleaning to a good professional standard”.
Case study 2 — 3-bed family home between Burham and Eccles
A 3-bed house on the road running between Burham and Eccles, rented to a family with two children and a dog. There were traffic marks on carpets, handprints on walls by the stairs and a heavily used oven and main bathroom.
- Kitchen thoroughly degreased, including cupboards inside and out
- Oven and extractor cleaned back to a bright, uniform finish
- Bathrooms descaled, sanitised and polished ready for photos
- Professional carpet cleaning in lounge, hall, stairs and bedrooms
- High dusting of beams, corners and light fittings on the stairwell
The agent commented that the property was “ready to re-market immediately”, and no cleaning deductions were applied to the deposit.
What a good Burham end of tenancy clean should cover
A proper ME1 move-out clean is about more than making the place look nice for the next tenants — it’s about taking away obvious reasons for deductions. In Burham, that usually means:
- Removing grease, food residue and staining from kitchen units and worktops
- Deep cleaning ovens and extractors where included in your package
- Fully descaling taps, shower heads, screens and bathroom tiles
- Cleaning inside cupboards and wardrobes where emptied
- Wiping down doors, frames, skirtings, switches and handles
- Vacuuming and mopping every room, with carpets professionally treated if chosen
DIY Burham clean vs booking a professional team
If you’re moving from a small, lightly used cottage and you’ve got a whole day free, you might manage a DIY clean with the right products and a clear checklist. Once pets, children, long tenancies or steep, multi-level layouts are in the mix, the time and physical effort climbs quickly.
A professional team usually makes sense if:
- You’re juggling work, family and a move all at once
- The property has seen several years of wear or has pets
- Your tenancy agreement mentions “professional” or “inventory-standard” cleaning
- You want dated, time-stamped photos to support any deposit dispute
