Void Property Carpet Cleaning

Every day a home sits empty between tenancies costs rent. When carpets are left in good enough condition to keep, a professional clean is far quicker and cheaper than replacing them, and it means the next tenant moves into a home that looks and smells fresh.

We clean void properties one at a time or as a rolling programme, fitting around your repairs and lettings teams.

Every void clean includes

  • Carpets deep cleaned throughout, including stairs and hallways
  • Stains from the previous tenancy pre-treated and lifted
  • Pet and general odours treated at the source
  • Hard floors in kitchens and bathrooms cleaned on the same visit
  • Before and after photos for your records
  • Property left ready for the next tenant's viewing

Communal Areas and Sheltered Housing

Shared spaces are used every day by people who live there, so they can't simply be closed off. We plan communal carpet cleaning around residents, at quieter times and in sections, with low-moisture methods where an area needs to be back in use quickly.

  • Communal corridors and stairs

    Carpeted entrances, landings and stairs in blocks and supported housing, cleaned in sections so residents can always get in and out.

  • Lounges and shared rooms

    Residents' lounges, meeting rooms and shared kitchens, including the upholstered chairs and sofas.

  • Sheltered and retirement housing

    A calm, careful approach around older residents, with clear signage, tidy cables and areas kept passable while they dry.

  • Offices and housing hubs

    Reception areas and staff offices, so the public-facing side of your service looks as good as the homes.

Simple for Your Housing Team

Housing officers have enough to chase. One point of contact at ALS handles every job from work order to invoice, so each property is easy to track and sign off.

  1. Work order

    Send a job by email or your usual system, with the address and access details.

  2. Access

    We collect keys from your office, use a key safe or meet your team on site.

  3. Clean and record

    The property is cleaned and photographed before and after.

  4. Report and invoice

    Photos and a short job note sent back, with one invoice per property quoting your reference.

Planned Carpet Maintenance in Glasgow

Communal carpets wear fastest where everyone walks: entrance doors, lift lobbies and the bottom of the stairs. A planned carpet maintenance programme cleans those areas on a regular cycle, so carpets last longer before they need replacing and blocks stay presentable between inspections.

We can build a programme across your stock in Glasgow, with busy entrances on a shorter cycle than quieter floors, and void cleans added as properties become empty.

Housing Association Carpet Cleaning FAQs

Do you clean void properties?

Yes. We clean empty homes between tenancies, one at a time or as a rolling programme, fitted around your repairs and lettings teams.

Can you collect keys from our office?

Yes. We can collect and return keys from your office, use a key safe, or meet your team at the property.

Do you provide before and after photos?

Yes. Each property is photographed before and after cleaning, and the photos are sent back with the job note for your records.

Can you clean communal areas while residents are in?

Yes. We work in sections at quieter times, keep areas passable and signposted, and use low-moisture methods where a space needs to be back in use quickly.

Can you remove pet odours from carpets?

In most cases, yes. Pet stains and odours are treated at the source rather than masked, which matters in a home being prepared for a new tenant.
