Using the changeover window for heating maintenance, not just cleaning
The gap between one occupant leaving and the next arriving is usually planned around cleaning, but it is also the most practical window for any heating maintenance that needs doing without disturbing an occupied property.

What we check first with the changeover maintenance window
Where a property changes hands frequently, batching quick checks — a visual boiler inspection, a filter check, confirming heating controls are set correctly for the next occupant — into the changeover window avoids needing a separate, harder-to-arrange visit later. For anything requiring a full service, flagging the due date to whoever manages the changeover calendar means it can be planned into a slightly longer gap rather than squeezed in unexpectedly.
The changeover maintenance window: engineer's shortlist
- Changeover windows suit quick checks alongside routine cleaning
- Full services need a longer window than a typical same-day changeover
- Flagging service due dates to the changeover scheduler avoids clashes
- Confirming heating controls suit the next occupant is a useful quick check
- Batching small tasks into one visit reduces overall disruption

Questions we get asked
- Can cleaning and heating maintenance happen at the same time?
- Yes, provided both parties can safely work in the property together, which many changeover schedules already accommodate.
- What if the changeover window is too short for a full service?
- It is better to schedule the full service on its own longer slot rather than rush it into a tight cleaning window.
