A changeover has a fixed window: the time between check-out and the next check-in. Beds are stripped and remade, the kitchen and bathrooms cleaned, bins and recycling emptied, floors done and each room set back to match your listing photos.
Kitchens take the most work after a self-catering stay. The dishwasher is emptied, crockery and pans put away, food left by guests cleared from the fridge and cupboards, and the hob, oven door and microwave wiped down.
What the work covers

Showers, baths, toilets, basins and mirrors cleaned, with hair and limescale removed.

Questions people ask
What does a holiday let changeover cost?
Each changeover is priced on how many the property sleeps, the number of bathrooms, how linen is handled and how many changeovers fall in a typical month. Your current checklist shows what is done at each turnaround.
What happens if a guest checks out late?
A late departure cuts into the changeover time. Tell us when you agree a late check-out, and say which jobs come first if the time runs short, so the property is ready for the next arrival.
Can the clean follow my existing checklist?
Yes. Send it with the enquiry. Most checklists cover beds, the kitchen, bathrooms, bins and recycling, floors, outdoor furniture and a final check against the listing photos.
Are hot tubs and pools part of a changeover?
Hot tubs and pools usually have their own water testing and treatment routine. List them in your enquiry with the routine you follow.
