Our Step-by-Step House Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone, email or online form with a brief description of your property and the service you need. We will ask a few key questions – number of bedrooms and bathrooms, current condition, any special requests and your preferred dates. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation with a breakdown of the service, estimated time on site and any optional extras that might be helpful.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For standard house cleaning, a virtual survey is usually enough. You can send photos or a short video walk-through so we can see the layout and condition. For larger properties or homes that need more attention, we may recommend a short onsite visit. This allows us to give a more accurate time estimate, confirm access and parking arrangements, and highlight any areas that need extra care.
3. Preparation Before the Clean
Ahead of the booked date, we confirm your appointment and cleaning checklist. We ask that surfaces are reasonably clear of clutter so our cleaners can focus on cleaning rather than tidying. If we are bringing equipment, we check parking and access details. On arrival, our professional, uniformed cleaners walk through the property with you (where possible) to confirm priorities before work starts.
Transparent Pricing – How We Charge for House Cleaning
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our house cleaning in London is typically charged either:
- By the hour for regular cleaning, with a minimum booking time
- At a fixed price for deep cleans and move-in/move-out cleaning, based on property size and condition
Your quote will always state whether the price is hourly or fixed, what is included, and any optional extras. There are no hidden charges for standard products and equipment. The only potential additional costs – such as parking, congestion charge or specialist stain treatments – are discussed and agreed in advance.
Why Choose Professional House Cleaning Over DIY?
Cleaning your own home is possible, but many London clients choose a professional service for good reason:
- We use commercial-grade products and methods that achieve a deeper clean in less time.
- Our trained team follow systematic checklists so key areas are never missed.
- Regular visits help maintain hygiene levels, reducing dust, allergens and limescale build-up.
- You reclaim hours each week to spend on work, family and rest instead of scrubbing bathrooms.
- For rented properties, a professional clean helps you meet tenancy standards and avoid disputes.
Because our work is insured and carried out to professional standards, you also have reassurance that any unlikely issues are properly dealt with.
Insurance & Professional Standards
As an established London cleaning company, we take responsibility for our work seriously.
- Public liability cover – protects you if accidental damage occurs to your property while we are working.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers our equipment and materials while travelling to and from your home, so we can replace items quickly if needed and keep your appointments running smoothly.
- Trained cleaning teams – all cleaners are trained in product use, colour-coding, safe ladder work for low heights and secure key-holding where requested.
We follow recognised industry best practice on risk assessments, COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) and safe working in occupied homes.
Care, Protection & Sustainability
We treat every home with the same care as we would our own. That means:
- Using colour-coded cloths and mops to minimise cross-contamination between bathrooms and kitchens.
- Testing products on small, inconspicuous areas before using on delicate surfaces.
- Protecting floors and worktops from abrasion by using the correct pads and tools.
- Offering lower-odour and more environmentally conscious product options where appropriate.
- Reducing waste by using concentrated products and refillable bottles where possible.
If you have particular sensitivities or preferences – for example, low-fragrance products or avoiding certain chemicals – we will do our best to accommodate them.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does house cleaning in London cost?
Pricing depends on property size, condition and how often you would like us to visit. Regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning is usually charged by the hour with a minimum booking length, while deep or move-out cleans are generally quoted at a fixed price. When you contact us, we will ask a few simple questions and, if needed, request photos so we can give a realistic figure. Your quote will clearly state what is included and whether there are any potential extras such as parking or congestion charges.
Can you provide same-day or urgent house cleaning?
Where our schedule allows, we do offer same-day or next-day appointments in London, particularly for smaller one-off cleans or emergencies such as last-minute guests or inspection visits. Availability is always better earlier in the week and outside peak moving periods. If you need an urgent clean, call us as soon as possible with your location, property size and preferred time. We will confirm quickly whether we can accommodate you and give a clear price before you commit to the booking.
Are your cleaners insured while working in my home?
Yes. We operate with comprehensive public liability cover which protects you if accidental damage occurs to your property during a clean. Our equipment and materials are also protected by goods in transit insurance while we travel to and from your home, helping us keep services running smoothly. All work is carried out by trained, vetted cleaners following agreed procedures. In the unlikely event that something goes wrong, we ask you to notify us promptly so we can investigate and, where appropriate, put things right through our insurance.
What exactly is included in your house cleaning service?
Our standard service focuses on the areas that make the biggest difference day to day – dusting, vacuuming, mopping, kitchen surfaces, appliance exteriors, bathrooms, and a general tidy of main rooms. We also wipe skirting boards and internal sills where accessible, and empty bins if liners are available. Deeper tasks such as oven cleaning, internal fridge and freezer cleaning, or carpet steam cleaning are not included as standard but can often be added at extra cost. Before confirming your booking, we will provide a checklist tailored to your property so you know exactly what to expect.
How far in advance should I book a house clean?
For regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning, it is best to book at least one to two weeks in advance so we can reserve a consistent day and time for you. For one-off deep cleans or move-out cleans, more notice is helpful, especially at the end of the month and during peak moving seasons when demand in London is high. However, we do keep some flexibility for short-notice requests. If your dates are fixed, contact us as soon as possible and we will advise on the earliest slot available and any options to fit around your schedule.
Do I need to be at home during the cleaning?
You are welcome to be present, but it is not essential. Many clients prefer to provide a key or arrange key collection so we can clean while they are at work. We operate a secure key-holding system and only authorised team members have access. Before the first clean, we agree access instructions and any alarm codes in writing. If you choose not to be at home, we recommend being available by phone in case we need to clarify anything on the day. At the end, we can send photos or notes if requested.
