There are many circumstances in which your business might move out of its current office. Perhaps your team has grown and the old space can’t accommodate more people. Maybe you’ve found a better location that’s more conducive to productivity. You may also have reached the end of your lease and opted not to renew.

Whatever the reason may be, moving out of an office space takes a lot of work. For one, you need to inform your partners and customers of the move and your new address; the same goes for your utility providers and other parties who need to be aware of your whereabouts.

Logistics is also a crucial component when you relocate offices. Not only do you need to make sure that everything you need in the new office is properly packed and ready to go, you also have to leave the old space in good shape. Both are equally important; however, it’s possible to get too focussed on the former that you forget all about the latter.

This is just one of many reasons why it’s important to look for a reliable professional cleaner like Crewcare and avail a good end-of-lease and move-out cleaning service.

Why Do You Need an End Of Lease Office Cleaning Service?

When you enter into a lease agreement with a landlord, it usually involves stipulations regarding the condition of the space. If there are any forms of damage or alterations not included in the contract, you could lose part or all of your security deposit.

What’s worse is that you’ll be leaving a bad impression. In case you ever need to move offices again, you won’t be able to count on your former lessor to put in a good word for you.

With professional cleaners handling all the move-out cleaning, you can focus on other matters like securing fragile equipment and double-checking important documents. This ensures a stress-free relocation and even allows you to build goodwill with both the landlord and future tenants.

How Does End-of-Lease Office Cleaning Services Work?

Most of the time, end-of-lease office cleaning is the same as any other office cleaning service. In fact, it can be argued that move-out cleaning is a little easier, since the space is more or less empty.

Thus, there are usually no additional charges or fees for this type of cleaning. If there are any, these are for additional or miscellaneous work such as removing company signages and branding.

Do note that professional cleaners will also have higher fees if you need more labour-intensive and specialised services, such as COVID-19 cleaning.

Is There Anything I Should Know Before Booking a Move-Out Cleaning Team?

Before calling a cleaning company and booking their move-out services, here are some helpful tips to keep in mind:

Have any and all repairs done.

These include electrical and plumbing issues, as well as carpentry-related maintenance. This way, you only have to avail cleaning services once.

Remove most if not all furniture.

Large furniture such as cabinets and long conference tables can get in the way of a thorough clean. Thus, these must be removed before the cleaning commences. Fixtures like chandeliers and window blinds should likewise be removed (unless they’re part of the property).

Remove personal and valuable items from the office.

Again, there should be few or no items left in the office before the move-out cleaning commences. Personal effects and other valuable items, in particular, should be removed first. Additionally, when packing, label the boxes properly and secure appropriate containers for fragile items.

It’s also up to you to cancel utilities such as electricity and internet. Coordinate it so that there won’t be time overlaps. Another job that falls onto you is proper inventory, although it’s also part of a cleaning company’s job to tell you about any items you may have left in the old space.
