Our HMO Cleaning Process for Helmshore

We follow a structured, step-by-step HMO cleaning process that has been designed specifically for multi-tenancy and student properties in Helmshore and across the wider Rossendale region. By combining a detailed initial assessment, a bespoke cleaning rota, trained DBS-checked cleaners and clear reporting, we make sure your shared house or licensed HMO is consistently clean, compliant and ready for inspections. This means fewer complaints from tenants, less stress for you as a landlord or agent, and a property that always looks ready for the next viewing or move-in date.

1

Property Assessment

We begin with a thorough property assessment of your Helmshore HMO, walking through all communal areas, kitchens, bathrooms, stairwells and high-traffic zones. During this visit we identify hygiene hotspots, current problem areas, council licensing expectations and any Health and Safety or HHSRS requirements that apply in Rossendale. This allows us to build a cleaning plan that reflects how your tenants actually live in the space, rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all checklist.

2

Cleaning Schedule & Rota

Next, we design a clear cleaning rota tailored to your Helmshore tenants and the way your HMO operates, choosing the right frequency for kitchens, bathrooms and shared lounges. We agree visit times that minimise disruption, fit around work or university hours, and still allow us to keep standards consistent across Rossendale. This schedule is documented so you can show inspectors exactly how your property is being maintained week after week.

3

Professional HMO Cleaning Service

Our DBS-checked cleaners then carry out the routine HMO cleaning in Helmshore, following detailed checklists created during the assessment stage. They focus on high-risk hygiene points such as bathrooms, cooking areas, fridges, floors, banisters and door handles, using professional, COSHH-compliant products approved for multi-occupancy properties across Rossendale. The result is a visibly cleaner, fresher and safer environment for every tenant.

4

Quality Checks & Reporting

After each visit, we complete quality checks and, where required, provide photographic evidence and notes for your records in Helmshore. This gives you a clear audit trail demonstrating regular HMO cleaning for council inspections, deposit disputes and insurance purposes. We also flag any maintenance or damage issues we notice, helping landlords and agents across Rossendale stay on top of small problems before they turn into expensive repairs.
