Cleaning a badly deteriorated flat in Paris 7th
We clean the agreed rooms. Défi Clean removes the waste included in the scope and cleans the affected surfaces and fittings. We distinguish what belongs to the accessible surface from what may involve the building. We do not promise habitability or that an odour will disappear.
This service helps relatives, landlords, managing agents, notaries and representatives organise practical cleaning in a deep 7th arrondissement building. We define the rooms, waste, fittings and supports concerned before starting. We do not open walls or dismantle equipment to search for a source. Disinfection, decontamination and repairs remain separate.

Stacks and service ducts in deep 7th arrondissement buildings
In deep buildings in Paris 7th, a stack or service duct may serve several floors and pass through several flats. A ceiling mark, damp wall or odour in a room facing the courtyard may therefore come from a neighbour’s flat, common parts or the building itself. Nothing inside the flat may show where it began. That possibility names nobody and allows us to conclude nothing. We describe the visible wall, ceiling, floor or fitting without turning an auréole into proof of a leak. We do not reconstruct a hidden route behind a partition and we do not decide who might be responsible. The person entitled to give instructions defines the rooms and surfaces we may clean.
We remove the agreed waste and clean the rooms and fittings included. We then distinguish the accessible surface from what has penetrated the material. Plaster, painted joinery, parquet, marble and old tiling do not hold the same things. We open nothing and dismantle nothing to search for a source. We do not establish the flat’s official status and make no diagnosis of the occupant. Replacing a damaged covering is separate work. When a question concerns a stack, duct, ventilation or common part, it must be dealt with through the managing agent.

What we assess
- Rooms affected by the deterioration
- Waste included for removal
- Fittings named in each room
- Accessible walls, ceilings and floors
- Plaster, joinery, parquet or marble
- Marks potentially linked to a duct
- Unusual containers reported and closed
- Coverings requiring separate work
We clean the agreed rooms and fittings without opening a wall, duct or stack to search for a source. We do not name a neighbour, establish the flat’s official status or diagnose the occupant. An odour does not justify disinfection or decontamination by itself. Known containers must be reported without opening or handling them. We do not promise habitability or disappearance of an odour. Questions involving the building are dealt with through the managing agent.

Frequently asked questions
Does a ceiling mark prove a leak?
No. It may be a removable deposit, impregnated material or a building issue involving a stack or duct. We describe what is visible without deciding the cause.
Do you open walls or ducts to find the source?
No. We clean accessible surfaces and do not dismantle a wall, service duct or fitting to investigate. A source search requires a separate intervention.
Who deals with a stack or duct serving several flats?
The managing agent and the relevant building contacts deal with common parts. We do not decide whether a stack, duct, ceiling or wall belongs to the common areas.
What should I do with an unusual container?
Report it without opening or handling it. Healthcare waste and chemicals follow dedicated disposal routes, with an authorised or specialist provider where required.
Is disinfection included when there is an odour?
No. An odour alone does not justify disinfection or decontamination. Those services have separate conditions and are assessed independently from practical cleaning.
Do plaster, parquet and marble receive the same treatment?
No. These supports retain different materials and may react differently. We adapt the cleaning and report what remains impregnated, marked or damaged.
Does cleaning make the flat habitable?
We do not promise that. We carry out the operations stated in the quote. A duct, leak, ventilation problem or damaged covering may require separate work.
