Busiest times of year
June – July (End of academic year)
Student houses across Derby need end of tenancy cleans. This is our busiest period. Book at least 2 weeks ahead if you need an end of tenancy clean during this window.
March – April (Spring cleaning)
Many Derby residents want a spring clean or deep clean as the weather warms up. Demand rises but it's manageable — a week's notice is usually enough.
December (Pre-Christmas)
Everyone wants their home sparkling before guests arrive. The last two weeks of December book up fast. Plan ahead or book in early December instead.
Quietest times (best availability)
January, February, and September tend to be quieter months. If you're flexible on timing, these are ideal for booking a deep clean with short notice.
Midweek slots (Tuesday to Thursday) are generally easier to book than Mondays and Fridays, which are popular with regular clients.
Tips for getting your preferred slot
- Book regular cleaning on a fixed day — we'll hold your slot every week or fortnight
- For one-off cleans, give us a few days' notice (we often have same-week slots)
- For end of tenancy, book as soon as you know your move-out date
- Mornings are most popular — afternoon slots are often easier to get
- We're open 7 days a week, 9am to 9pm — weekends are available too
