Holiday let cleaning and changeovers

We clean your holiday home so you don't have to. Between every stay the whole property is cleaned to a detailed checklist, the beds are made with freshly ironed linen and everything is reset, so your next guests walk into a home that's spotless and ready.

New Forest Holiday Cleaning is now part of New Forest Estate Management, with the same local team and the same phone number. We work from our office in Barton on Sea and clean holiday lets across the New Forest, Christchurch, Mudeford, Bournemouth and the surrounding area.

A detailed checklist, every time

We love to clean, and we treat every property as though it were our own, with respect and integrity. Every changeover follows the same detailed checklist, room by room, so the standard never depends on who is cleaning that day. A professional clean keeps your holiday home consistently clean and welcoming, and guests notice.

A changeover usually includes:

  • Kitchen and appliances cleaned, and the kitchen reset
  • Bathrooms cleaned, with fresh towels put out
  • Beds stripped and made up with freshly ironed linen
  • Floors vacuumed and mopped throughout
  • Bins emptied
  • Anything broken, missing or left behind reported to you

Same-day changeovers

Same-day turnarounds, where one group leaves in the morning and the next arrives that afternoon, help you make the most of your rental income. We plan each day around your check-out and check-in times, and our cleaning plan puts the day's cleans in order by those times and by location, so the team spends its time cleaning rather than driving and every clean is finished before the next guests arrive.

Laundry and freshly ironed linen

We take care of the laundry between stays, so every bed is made with freshly washed and ironed bedding and fresh towels are ready for each group. It's one of the small things guests remember.

Deep cleans

Even with careful changeovers, a busy holiday home benefits from a deeper clean from time to time: before the season starts, at the end of a busy summer, or after building work. A deep clean goes further than a changeover, into the cupboards and appliances, behind and under the furniture, and into the corners a changeover doesn't have time for. We do end of tenancy cleans too.

Windows, maintenance and urgent repairs

Windows are cleaned inside and out by a professional window cleaning company. If we spot something that needs fixing during a clean, we tell you and, with your agreement, get it sorted. And when something goes wrong, there's a 24/7 contact for urgent repairs, so problems are dealt with quickly rather than left for the next changeover.

Welcome hampers for your guests

Offering guests a food hamper shows you have their comfort in mind. Guests can choose from several hamper options, so there's food and drink waiting when they arrive, even if they get in late after a long journey.

Book changeovers online

Every owner gets their own online account. Add each stay with the dates, the number of guests and dogs and how the beds should be set up, and the cleaning team is told straight away, along with any changes or cancellations. Bookings from Airbnb, Booking.com, holiday cottage agencies and your own guests all go in the same place, and you receive one clear invoice a month.

Cleaning only, or the whole job

Many owners take their own bookings, or let through an agency, and just need a reliable team for the cleaning and changeovers. Others would rather hand over everything. You can start with cleaning and add more later: our holiday let management also covers maintenance and help advertising your property.

What's included in a changeover clean?

The whole property is cleaned to a detailed checklist: the kitchen and appliances, bathrooms, floors and every room, with the beds made up in freshly ironed linen and fresh towels put out. Anything broken, missing or left behind is reported to you.

Can you do same-day changeovers?

Yes. We plan each day around your check-out and check-in times, so the clean is finished before the next guests arrive. Same-day turnarounds are flagged as soon as the bookings are entered.

Do you do the laundry?

Yes. We take care of the laundry between stays, so beds are made with freshly washed and ironed linen and fresh towels are ready for every group.

Do you clean holiday lets booked through other agencies?

Yes. Whoever takes your bookings, whether that's Airbnb, Booking.com, a holiday cottage agency or you, we can do the cleaning and changeovers. You add the stays to your online account, so we always know when guests are leaving and arriving.

Do you clean dog-friendly holiday lets?

Yes. Tell us how many dogs are coming when you add a booking, and we'll allow for them in the clean.

How much does holiday let cleaning cost?

It depends on the size of the property, how often it's let and what you'd like us to do, so we give you a clear, no-obligation quote. Tell us how many bedrooms the property has when you get in touch.

Which areas do you cover?

We're based in Barton on Sea and clean holiday lets across the New Forest and along the coast, including Christchurch, Mudeford, Bournemouth, Highcliffe, New Milton, Milford on Sea, Lymington and Brockenhurst. If you're not sure whether we cover your area, give us a call.
