The Secret to Selling? Maintenance + a Deep Clean Before Photos

This Manifold Heights property is proof that first impressions count — especially when it comes to preparing a home for auction.

Before the professional photography team even arrived, Pinkerton Property Care was called in to give the home a complete refresh — and the results speak for themselves.

🛠️ Maintenance Done Right
Sean tackled a long list of repairs with care and precision:

• Repaired multiple interior wall and ceiling cracks

• Removed mould from the bathroom

• Resealed wet areas throughout

• Completed targeted touch-ups to help the home shine in photos

🪟 Spotless From Top to Bottom
We rolled up our sleeves and delivered:

• A full internal deep clean

• Crystal-clear windows inside and out

• Front and back garden clearance to boost street appeal

Even the original pink bathroom tiles got a revival — a detailed clean brought them back to life, no harsh chemicals needed.

💥 The result? This home sold at auction last weekend.

It’s the second property we’ve helped prepare for sale with Buxton Newtown, working closely with agent Max Hardwick. (You might remember Max from our first collaboration on Saffron Street!) We've just kicked off a third project with them — more on that in our next blog. Let’s just say Sean’s got the weatherboards covered… 😉

Thinking of selling?

From cracks and mould to sparkling windows and freshly cleared gardens — Sean and the team at Pinkerton Property Care are your go-to crew for pre-sale maintenance and deep cleans that deliver results.

💬 “Oven spotless. Walls and floors to perfect standard… Cannot but recommend the Pinkerton cleaners.”
