End of Tenancy Cleaning in Greenford

Extended 1930s semi on a residential side road off Horsenden Lane — one of the streets where the houses climb gently toward the hill and you can see the London skyline from the upstairs back window. Three bedrooms, bathroom, lounge, extended kitchen-diner, and a 65ft garden with a shed. The canal towpath started at the end of the road — the Grand Union, heading toward Hanwell locks in one direction and Southall in the other. Family — two children at Horsenden Primary, dad commuted to Oxford Circus on the Central Line — 3 years at £1,750. Brian Cox managing from their Greenford office on Oldfield Lane North.

Van on the driveway. No restrictions. Horsenden Hill was a 5-minute walk.

Kitchen-diner. Extended to the rear, about 16ft by 12ft. Refitted — white gloss units, laminate worktop, integrated Hotpoint oven. Door off, glass out, sprayed. 18 minutes. Main oven: two passes — 3 years of family cooking. Gas hob: four burners, each lifted. Extractor: chimney-style hood, filter soaked, housing degreased. Floor: stone-effect porcelain, degreased. Patio door to garden: tracks cleaned.

The back of the kitchen faced roughly toward the canal — maybe 200 metres away. On a damp day you could feel the humidity. Not dramatic — not like a canal-side ground-floor flat — but noticeable. Windowsill above the sink: condensation residue, cleaned. Grouting near the windowframe: inspected, intact. Noted as canal-proximity environment.

Lounge. Front room, about 14ft by 12ft. Carpet vacuumed. Bay window — 1930s, uPVC replacement. Cleaned per section. Artex ceiling: dusted. Fireplace: sealed, decorative surround removed by the landlord. Clean wall. Quick.

Upstairs. Bathroom. Bath-shower combo, white suite. ~265 ppm, 3 years, family of four. Waterline: two passes. Taps done. Toilet done. Grouting: one area retouched. Floor: vinyl, mopped. 22 minutes.

Three bedrooms. All carpet. Front: bay matching downstairs. Rear: double — views toward the hill, the skyline visible above the houses. Children's room: sticker residue on the wardrobe — removed. Small bedroom: straightforward.

Garage. Concrete floor, shelving. Tools removed. Swept. 5 minutes.

Garden. 65ft. Lawn, patio, shed. Threshold at the patio door: cleaned. Side passage: swept. The garden ended at a fence, and beyond the fence was the next row of gardens, and beyond that, eventually, the canal.

4 hours. Two people. The extended kitchen, the heavy-water bathroom, and the canal-proximity moisture are where the care goes. The hill views from the back bedroom are a bonus the agent doesn't check.

Brian Cox come next morning. Their UB6 person handles the Horsenden roads, the Oldfield stock, and the Northolt border streets. Kitchen: Hotpoint opened, laminate checked. Canal-proximity condensation: cleaned, environment noted. Waterline: gone. Grouting: retouched. Artex: documented. Stickers: removed. Garage: swept. 7 minutes. Passed.

Deposit back in 6 days. Full return. Family moving to a 2-bed flat at Greenford Quay — the canal they used to walk along is now outside their balcony window. Different stock, different lifestyle, same postcode.

Greenford cleans in two modes — the 1930s semis that climb Horsenden Hill and the canal-side new-builds that face the towpath. We handle both. The oven gets two passes, the condensation gets wiped, and the Artex gets dusted. Our guide on deposit dispute evidence covers 1930s family homes and canal-proximity moisture documentation.
