End of Tenancy Cleaning in Kingsbury

Extended 1930s semi on the Valley Drive estate — the sought-after roads where the gardens back onto Fryent Country Park and you can see the tree line from the upstairs windows. Original 3-bed taken to 4 with a loft conversion. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms, lounge, extended kitchen-diner, and a garden that ran about 90ft to a fence with the park fields beyond. Family — three children at Oliver Goldsmith Primary — 4 years at £2,100. Winkworth managing.

Van on the driveway. Residential street, no restrictions. The park path started maybe 30 metres past the back fence.

Kitchen-diner. Extended to the rear, about 17ft by 13ft. The family had refitted it before they moved in — shaker-style in sage green, composite worktop, integrated Bosch double oven. Both doors off, glass out, sprayed. 20 minutes. Main oven: two passes — 4 years of family cooking, three children, weekend baking, school lunches. Top oven: one pass. Gas hob: five burners, each lifted. Extractor: chimney-style hood, filter soaked, housing degreased. Floor: stone-effect porcelain, degreased twice. Bifold doors to garden: tracks cleaned — mud from the park, leaf debris from the field boundary.

Lounge. Front room, about 14ft by 12ft. Carpet vacuumed. Bay window — 1930s, uPVC replacement. Cleaned per section. Artex ceiling: dusted. Fireplace: simple 1930s tiled surround — cream and green, gas fire sealed behind a screen. Wiped. 8 minutes.

Upstairs. Family bathroom. Bath-shower combo, partly tiled walls. ~265 ppm, 4 years, family of five. Waterline: two passes — heavy use. Taps done. Toilet done. Grouting: two areas retouched near the shower. Floor: vinyl, mopped. 25 minutes.

Loft conversion en-suite. Walk-in shower, modern fittings. Dormer window cleaned per pane — views across the park. One pass on everything. 10 minutes.

Four bedrooms. All carpet. Front: bay window matching downstairs. Rear master: window to the garden and the park fields beyond. Children's rooms: one had marker on the windowsill — specialist product. Sticker residue on the wardrobe — removed. Small loft bedroom: sloped ceiling, dormer.

Garden. 90ft, backing Fryent. Lawn, patio near the kitchen, shed at the end. Back fence had a gap where foxes came through — noted as not a cleaning issue. Patio: swept — mud from football boots and park walks. Bifold tracks already done. Side passage: swept.

5 hours. Two people. The double oven at 4 years, the two bathrooms at heavy water, and the park-edge garden are where the hours go. The loft conversion and the Artex ceiling are dealt with and documented.

Winkworth come next morning. Their NW9 person handles the Valley Drive estate, the Roe Green roads, and the Salmon Street stock. Kitchen: both Bosch ovens opened, composite checked. Garden: patio cleared, tracks clean, fox gap noted as structural. Waterline: gone. Grouting: retouched. Loft en-suite: done. Marker on sill: cleaned. Stickers: removed. Artex: documented. 9 minutes. Passed.

Deposit back in 8 days. Full return. Family buying a 5-bed detached on Church Lane — more space, still backing the park, the children still walking to school.

Kingsbury is London's greenest suburban clean. The country park is at the end of the garden, the reservoir is down the road, and the semis have been extended until they're almost unrecognisable from the 3-beds the 1930s builders put up. We clean the double oven, we descale the chalk water, and we sweep the mud off the patio. Our guide on deposit dispute evidence covers extended family homes and park-edge garden documentation.
