Whether you are relocating within Stockton or moving out of the area entirely, the “Move-Out Clean” is the final hurdle between you and your new life. To help our local clients in Yarm, Billingham, and Eaglescliffe, we have put together the definitive checklist that our professional teams use. If you’re attempting this yourself, or if you want to know what a pro service covers, this is the standard you must meet.

1. The Kitchen: The High-Traffic Zone

The kitchen is the most scrutinised room in any house. You must:

• Degrease Everything: Wall tiles, cupboard tops, and extractor hoods must be free of the sticky “cooking film” common in Teesside homes.

• Sanitise Inside Units: Every cupboard must be emptied and wiped out, including the hard-to-reach corners.

• The Sink & Taps: Limescale is a major issue in our region. Taps must be polished and the plugholes cleared of any debris.

2. The Bathroom: Combatting Damp and Scale

In the North East, bathrooms are prone to moisture-related issues.

• Grout & Silicone: Any signs of black mould must be treated and removed.

• The Toilet: Must be descaled internally and polished externally.

• The Shower Screen: Must be completely transparent and free of watermarks or scale.

3. The “Invisible” Details

Agents check the things you never touch. This includes:

• Dusting Light Bulbs & Shades: A common fail point in inventory reports.

• Cleaning Radiators: Including the fins at the back where dust collects.

• Skirting Boards & Door Tops: Hand-washed to remove the “grey film” of bonded dust.
