DIY Nose Job? When to Call the Cleaning Professionals
I have a very big nose.
I also have a scalpel and some surgical wax lying around the house.
For months I have been thinking about rhinoplasty, going under the knife, getting a nose job.
I could save a lot of money if I did it myself, but just because I have a scalpel and some surgical wax doesn't mean I should.
Just because I have a hoover and some carpet shampoo in my cupboard doesn't mean I shouldn't call one of the dozens of end of tenancy cleaning London companies to come and clean my place for me before I move out...
There are a lot of things in life like this; professional cleaners are just one of them.
For example, I have all the products I need to clean my home, and I use them on a regular basis.
The thing is, I have a £1000 bond on my lease, and if I don't clean my flat up to the particular (and particularly high) standards of my estate agents, they'll take the money for professional cleaning out of my £1000.
Chances are they won't shop around, and I'll land up paying a lot of money for end of tenancy cleaning, London landlords being that way inclined, even after I've done that cleaning myself.
After doing a little bit of research, this is what I discovered.
Instead of buying cleaning supplies and doing the whole thing myself, without any guarantee that I'll get my deposit back, I found a company to do the whole property for only £150.
This included rubbish removal having the carpets shampooed and steam-cleaned, and the price for cleaning that my lettings agent suggested for the property was almost twice as much.
There are literally dozens of cleaning companies for Londoners to choose from if you find yourself in a similar predicament.
Check with your lettings or estate agents to see if they require professional cleaning, and ask them what they would charge if you didn't do it yourself.
Most major agencies have in-house cleaners, and the agency will be making money off of you having your flat cleaned after a lease.
Calling around for quotes, like I did, often means you can find someone to do it for a much lower price than you might expect, and that your respective lettings agent would be charging you for the same service.
For rubbish removals London landlords and letting agents often expect a similar degree of tidiness.
Spending even a few minutes taking a look around can save you upwards of £100 so you'd do well to shop around.
