Sophie’s Professional Cleaning Service in Blackhall Colliery – County Durham
Location: Blackhall Colliery, County Durham
Service Type: Vacant House Deep Cleaning
Property Type: 3-Bedroom Semi-Detached
Background and Circumstances
In April 2025, we were contacted by Mr. Daniel Moore regarding his late mother’s home in Blackhall Colliery. The 3-bedroom semi-detached property had been vacant for over six months following her passing, and Daniel was in the process of preparing the home for sale.
The house had not been professionally cleaned in several years, and while structurally sound, it showed clear signs of long-term occupancy and disuse — including dust accumulation, yellowing paint near radiators, stubborn kitchen grime, and damp smells in the upstairs bathroom and hallway cupboard.
Daniel was seeking a compassionate, thorough cleaning service that could restore the home to a dignified, fresh condition without discarding any personal items or furniture that held sentimental value.
Cleaning Objectives
- Deep clean the entire property without disturbing personal belongings
- Remove long-standing dust, odours, and surface staining
- Address areas affected by damp and poor ventilation
- Prepare the home for respectful estate agent photography and viewings
- Complete the work in one full-day session to accommodate Daniel’s travel schedule

Customer Testimonial
“Thank you doesn’t seem enough. The house looks like it’s been brought back to life, and I’m truly grateful for how sensitively and respectfully your team worked. Nothing was out of place, and the whole home just felt clean, calm, and peaceful again. I’ve already passed your details to the estate agent because even they commented on the quality of the clean. You made a very difficult process a little easier for me.”
— Mr. Daniel Moore, Blackhall Colliery
