01
Cleaning after a clearance
Once executors have decided what to retain and authorised any removals, deep cleaning can address kitchens, bathrooms, appliances, windows and floors.

From a vacant home to one ready for inspection, marketing or handover.
Hermens Property · London and Surrey
Practical, considered property support
Our role is to help executors make informed decisions about the property, its condition and the work needed before a sale or handover. Every instruction is tailored to the property, with contractor costs and any Hermens coordination fee explained before work is authorised.
02
Preparing for marketing
A clean, well-presented property helps prospective buyers assess the accommodation. We can coordinate cleaning with garden tidying, minor repairs and photography.
03
Scope and quotation
We assess the home's size, condition, access and any unusual requirements before arranging a suitable contractor. Waste removal and hazardous material treatment are quoted separately.
What happens next?
Tell us the address, who is authorised to instruct work and what needs attention. We can discuss the relevant services and agree a sensible sequence, whether you need one quotation or coordinated preparation for a sale.
Hermens provides property-related services, not probate legal advice, reserved probate work or legal estate administration. Where a formal tax valuation, regulated advice or specialist work is needed, an appropriately qualified independent professional should be appointed.
