Cleaning in Obergiesing and Fasangarten

Obergiesing sits on the slope above the Isar, and you notice it walking as much as working: the streets climb, and many buildings have half-landings and stairs in unexpected places. Fasangarten further south is flat and easy to read, with estate housing from the 1930s and 1950s. Two areas, two kinds of job.

In Obergiesing the slope is not a detail but building history: build on a hillside and the house steps into the slope, which produces a half-storey to the street and a full one to the courtyard. In the stairwell that means intermediate landings, short flights and more edges per floor – and it is the edges that cost the time, not the area.

Because stock from almost every decade stands here, we check the floors before mopping for the first time. Period buildings have boards or old parquet; the 1950s houses often linoleum or cast stone; the newer ones tile. Before mopping for the first time, we find a spot nobody sees – behind the door, under a radiator – and check there whether the floor is oiled, waxed, sealed or untreated. Only then do we know what to work with.

How the district grew

Giesing was a village on the Isar slope and became a working-class quarter in the 19th century. People who worked in the brickworks, breweries and workshops lived here – first in small houses, later in dense apartment buildings.

A great deal was rebuilt after the war, because the district was badly damaged. So today building stock from almost every decade since 1900 stands side by side: period houses with stucco, plain 1950s terraces, 1970s blocks and the occasional new building on an infill plot.

Fasangarten is a story of its own. The estate was built in the 1930s; after the war American forces lived there for decades before the houses returned to civilian use. It looks correspondingly uniform.

What is different here

Stairwell and move-out

In a staircase the contact surfaces matter more than the floor, because you cannot tell by looking. People judge by the steps and hold the handrail — which is exactly why these surfaces are fixed in our scope and not left to the judgement of the day.

End-of-tenancy cleans are frequent here, because the district has many small flats and correspondingly frequent turnover. The measure is always the same: the flat has to pass at handover. Kitchen and bathroom take the most time, not the floor area – an oven and a shower enclosure together can take longer than every floor in the flat. So we look at both beforehand. Painting and repairs are not included; for that you need a trade contractor.

Box windows and one day

With box windows in the old stock, most people count wrong. They count windows and mean panes – in fact a box window has two sashes one behind the other, so four faces of glass, and between them a cavity where dust and insects have collected since the last time. It has to be opened, vacuumed and wiped dry. So we walk the flat with you beforehand and count what is actually there.

Where a stairwell and a flat share a building, we put them on one day. On the slope that is worth more than elsewhere: the way between two addresses here is rarely level, and two appointments in the same street can mean walking the same forty metres of height twice – carrying equipment.

Questions from this district

Our building has many half-landings. Do you allow for that?

Yes. We look at the stairwell before the first visit and allow for the actual route, not the number of storeys on paper.

How long does an end-of-tenancy clean take?

It depends on the size and condition of the flat, above all the kitchen and bathroom. We look at it beforehand and give you a time range. Billing is by actual time, not a flat fee.

Do you also clean on the fourth floor without a lift?

Yes. Our kit is made to be carried – buckets, pads and a compact vacuum instead of machines that need a lift.

What does a visit in Giesing cost?

By time: €25 per person and working hour, plus €18 travel costs once per working day and job. A site visit with no job following costs €40. No VAT is charged, in accordance with § 19 of the German VAT Act. There is no minimum order value.
