What we do between every stay

Six things that happen before your next guest arrives.

Hotel-standard changeover clean

Every stay ends with a full changeover clean to a hotel standard - not a domestic tidy. Surfaces, bathrooms, kitchen and living areas cleaned to a consistent checklist. The same standard every time, regardless of how the previous guest left it.

Linen and towels restocked

Fresh hotel-quality linen and towels restocked at every changeover. Guests arriving to crisp linen is one of the highest-rated aspects of short-let stays and a direct driver of 5-star reviews.

Pre-arrival inspection

Before every new guest arrival, the property is inspected - not just cleaned. We check condition, inventory completeness, appliance function and presentation. Issues are resolved before the guest checks in, not reported to you after a bad review.

Proactive maintenance coordination

Small issues are caught and fixed between stays rather than left to escalate. We coordinate with a network of local tradespeople in Derbyshire - no waiting on national contractors with long lead times.

Damage documentation and claims

Any damage beyond normal wear is photographed, documented and a claim raised through Airbnb AirCover or the relevant platform guarantee. We handle the process - you are informed of the outcome, not expected to manage it.

Monthly condition report

Your monthly report includes a summary of any maintenance issues raised, resolved or pending. Full visibility of your property's condition without any day-to-day involvement required from you.

Why cleaning standard affects your income

Cleanliness is a ranking signal, not just a hygiene requirement.

Review score
Cleanliness is the single most reviewed category on Airbnb. A consistent 5-star cleanliness score is the strongest driver of overall listing ranking.
Re-booking rate
Guests who return are almost always guests who had a clean, well-maintained property. Repeat bookings and direct enquiries reduce platform fee exposure.
Property condition
Properties that are inspected and maintained between every stay hold their value and avoid the expensive repairs that accumulate in neglected short-lets.
Superhost status
Maintaining Airbnb Superhost status requires a 4.8+ overall review score. Cleanliness is one of the sub-scores that feeds into this - it cannot be an afterthought.

How we manage it

You do not need to find a cleaner, chase a tradesperson or check a property.

We work with professional cleaning teams in Derbyshire who are briefed to our standard and work to a consistent checklist. This is not a domestic clean arranged informally - it is a coordinated professional operation that runs between every booking.

Maintenance is handled the same way. We have a network of local tradespeople - plumbers, electricians, handymen - who respond quickly because they work with us regularly. When something needs fixing, it gets fixed before the next guest arrives, not after a 1-star review about it.

“My property had two different management companies before Gough Groves. Both left the cleaning to chance. Since switching, I have had a 5-star cleanliness rating on every single review. It is the one thing that moved the needle most on my overall score.”

Landlord, Chesterfield

“I used to dread getting a maintenance message from a guest. Now I hear about issues in the monthly report, already resolved. I have not had to call a plumber or arrange anything myself in over a year.”

Landlord, Peak District

Common questions

Questions about cleaning and maintenance.

Who arranges the cleaning between stays?

We coordinate all cleaning on your behalf. You do not need to find or manage a cleaner. We work with professional cleaning teams who are briefed to our standard, not a generic domestic clean.

Is cleaning included in the management fee?

Cleaning is charged at cost and passed through to you - it is not marked up. The management fee covers coordination, quality checks and restocking management. Cleaning costs vary by property size and stay length.

What happens if a guest leaves the property in a poor state?

We inspect after every stay. If there is damage or excessive mess beyond normal wear, we document it, raise a claim through Airbnb AirCover or the relevant platform guarantee, and coordinate any remedial work. You are informed and do not need to handle it yourself.

How do you handle maintenance issues?

Minor issues - a broken blind, a leaking tap - are resolved without disturbing you, using our network of local tradespeople. Anything above a threshold we agree with you upfront is flagged for your approval before work proceeds.

Do you carry out inspections between stays?

Yes. Every changeover includes an inspection before the property is released for the next booking. We are looking at condition, inventory, cleanliness and any maintenance issues - not just whether it looks tidy.
