Sophie’s Professional Cleaning Service in County Durham
Location: Durham, County Durham
Service Type: End-of-Tenancy Deep Clean
Property Type: 5-Bedroom Student House
Background and Circumstances
In July 2024, Sophie’s Cleaning Company was contacted by Mrs. Amanda Keating, a private landlord who owns several student properties in Durham City, just a short walk from the university campus. One of her 5-bedroom student lets had just been vacated after a full academic year.
While the students had done a basic tidy-up, Amanda required a professional deep clean to prepare the property for the next group of tenants. With viewings scheduled within the week, the job needed to be done thoroughly and promptly. The house showed signs of typical student wear: food stains in the kitchen, bathroom mould, carpet marks, and neglected communal areas.
Cleaning Objectives
- Complete a top-to-bottom deep clean of the entire property
- Remove food splashes, grime, and stains in the kitchen
- Tackle bathroom mould and limescale
- Refresh high-traffic areas including carpets and entryways

Customer Testimonial
“I’ve used other cleaning companies in the past, but none have matched the level of detail Sophie’s team delivered. The house looked fantastic — fresh, spotless, and genuinely ready for the next tenants. They even sent me a photo report the same day. It’s a huge relief as a landlord to know I can trust someone to get the job done right, especially during busy turnover periods. I’ll be booking them for all my properties going forward.”
— Mrs. Amanda Keating, Durham
