Dust from ongoing works, incomplete access and unfinished surfaces can prevent a final clean from remaining final. Choose a supplier by examining the site-readiness assumptions, inspection method and reattendance terms before relying on an attractive one-off price. ## Define the handover condition Walk the premises with the relevant facilities or project representative. Record areas ready for cleaning and areas still affected by other work. Identify existing damage and materials requiring specialist care. The cleaning scope should not quietly include repair, hazardous remediation or removal of construction materials that need a separate qualified arrangement. Ask the contractor to state what it expects the site to provide before mobilisation. This may include access, cleared areas and the completion of other trades, depending on the project. Record the assumptions in the quotation so a delayed handover can be assessed against the same understanding. ## Separate the initial clean from the final release Discuss whether the project needs one visit or staged work. A premises still receiving contractors may require a later touch-up, but that should be planned and priced rather than assumed. Identify who can authorise an additional visit and how the supplier confirms availability near the move-in date. Avoid describing every task as deep cleaning without a room-by-room schedule. Specify the accessible surfaces and included areas, and identify exclusions. A common schedule lets bidders explain differences in method or effort without leaving the customer to discover missing tasks during the final walkthrough. ## Agree a joint inspection Define the acceptance areas and the person authorised to inspect them. Use observable outcomes and note conditions that cleaning cannot correct, such as an existing stain or damaged finish. Record defects with location and evidence so the supplier can return to the right place without repeating the whole survey. Set a correction window that fits the actual handover programme. Distinguish an incomplete contracted task from new dirt introduced after acceptance by another trade or the moving team. That distinction supports a fair reattendance decision rather than a dispute over who last entered the room. ## Select for schedule credibility Ask the supplier to explain staffing, supervision and contingency if site readiness changes. Compare the full scope, access assumptions and additional-visit terms. A credible handover plan is more useful than a promise to clean any condition overnight.
