What Our House Cleaning Service Includes
Our standard house cleaning is designed to leave your property fresh, hygienic and ready to enjoy. A typical visit includes:
- Dusting of all accessible surfaces, skirting boards and ledges
- Vacuuming carpets, rugs and soft flooring
- Mopping hard floors (tiles, laminate, vinyl, wood where suitable)
- Cleaning mirrors, glass and reachable internal windows
- Wiping doors, handles, switches and frequently touched areas
- Kitchen clean: worktops, cupboard fronts, hob, sink, splashbacks
- Bathroom clean: toilet, bath, shower, taps, tiles and basins descaled where needed
- Emptying bins and replacing liners (where provided)
We bring professional-grade products and equipment unless you prefer us to use your own. All cleans are tailored to your property size, condition and priorities.
Types of House Cleaning We Offer
Every household is different, so we offer several professional cleaning options:
- Regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning – ongoing maintenance cleans to keep on top of dust, dirt and bathrooms.
- One-off deep cleaning – a more intensive clean for spring, post-building work tidy-ups or after a long period without cleaning.
- Pre- and post-move house cleaning – ideal when moving in or out, including inside cupboards, appliances and detailed bathroom and kitchen work.
- Student and shared house cleaning – targeted at HMOs and student lets where heavy use means more attention to kitchens and bathrooms.
If you have specific requirements, such as allergy-aware cleaning or pet-friendly products, we are happy to discuss options.

Our Step-by-Step House Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact us by phone, email or via our online form. We ask a few straightforward questions about your property type, number of rooms, current condition and any priorities. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining what is included, the estimated time and the price. For regular cleaning, we also suggest a suitable schedule.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger homes, deep cleaning, or move-related cleans, we may arrange a brief virtual or onsite survey. This helps us see access points, parking, flooring types and any areas needing special attention. It allows us to allocate the right number of cleaners, bring appropriate equipment and give you a realistic time frame. Surveys are straightforward and carried out at a time that suits you.
3. Preparation & Cleaning Day
Before we arrive, we ask that you remove important personal items, valuables and excessive clutter where possible. On the day, our trained team arrives in uniform, fully briefed on your property and requirements. We protect surfaces as needed, carry out the agreed clean methodically, and check each room before we leave. You do not need to stay in, but you are welcome to be present and walk through with us at the end.
Transparent Pricing for House Cleaning in London
We price house cleaning fairly and transparently, with no hidden extras. Typical options include:
- Hourly rates for smaller or flexible jobs
- Fixed prices for one-off deep cleans and move-related cleans
- Discounted rates for regular weekly or fortnightly visits
Prices vary depending on property size, condition, parking, and any specialist tasks requested. We always confirm costs in writing before work begins. If we believe more time is needed once onsite, we will discuss it with you first, so you stay in control of the budget.
Why Choose Professional House Cleaning Over DIY
Cleaning your own home is possible, but there are clear advantages to using a professional service:
- Consistent standards – trained cleaners follow a structured checklist so no area is overlooked.
- Time savings – free up evenings and weekends while we handle the routine work.
- Better results – commercial-grade products and equipment tackle limescale, soap scum and grease more effectively.
- Health benefits – regular, thorough cleaning helps reduce dust, allergens and bacteria.
- Accountability – with a company, you have clear points of contact, insurance cover and formal procedures if anything goes wrong.
For landlords and renters, using a recognised cleaning company can also help avoid disputes over cleanliness at check-out.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a responsible London cleaning company, we maintain robust protection for clients and staff:
- Public liability cover – protects you in the unlikely event of accidental damage to your property.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers cleaning equipment and materials we bring to your home while travelling, ensuring continuity of service.
- Trained cleaning teams – all cleaners are carefully selected, referenced and trained in safe product use, colour-coding and proper cleaning techniques.
We follow clear health and safety procedures, including safe handling of chemicals, correct use of equipment and respectful conduct in your home at all times.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every property as if it were our own. This means:
- Using appropriate products for each surface to avoid damage
- Testing new products on inconspicuous areas where necessary
- Using clean cloths and colour-coding to prevent cross-contamination between bathrooms and kitchens
- Ventilating spaces during and after cleaning to improve air quality
We are also conscious of our environmental impact. Where suitable, we can use lower-impact products, reduce single-use plastics and optimise travel routes to minimise emissions. If sustainability is a priority for you, let us know and we will tailor our approach.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does house cleaning in London cost?
The cost depends on the size and condition of your property, as well as the type of service you need. Smaller flats needing light maintenance may only require a few hours, while larger homes or deep cleans take longer. We typically charge either an hourly rate for flexible jobs or a fixed price for deep and move-related cleans. After a short discussion, and if needed a quick survey, we provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what you are paying for before you commit.
Do you offer same-day or urgent house cleaning?
We do our best to accommodate same-day or short-notice requests, especially for move-related or emergency cleans. Availability depends on our existing schedule and the size of the job. For smaller properties or straightforward tasks, we can often respond quickly. For larger homes, we may suggest the earliest realistic slot to ensure we can complete the work to the right standard. If you need an urgent clean, contact us by phone for the fastest response and we will explain your options clearly.
Are you insured if something gets damaged?
Yes. We hold comprehensive public liability cover that protects you in the unlikely event of accidental damage during cleaning. Our teams are trained to handle belongings carefully and to report any issues immediately. We also carry goods in transit insurance for the equipment and materials we bring to your home. In the rare case that something goes wrong, we follow a clear process: we record the incident, share details with you promptly and work with our insurers to resolve matters fairly and efficiently.
What is included in your house cleaning service?
Our standard service covers routine cleaning of all main living areas, bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms. This includes dusting, vacuuming, mopping, wiping surfaces, cleaning sinks, toilets, baths and showers, plus light tidying and bin emptying. We clean external surfaces of appliances and high-touch points such as handles and switches. Deeper tasks like inside ovens, fridges, cupboard interiors and carpet cleaning are available as add-ons. Before we start, we confirm in writing exactly what is included so there is no confusion on the day.
How far in advance should I book a house clean?
For regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance so we can offer your preferred day and time. For one-off or deep cleans, especially around busy periods such as month-end or holidays, more notice is helpful. However, we do keep some flexibility for urgent requests where possible. If your timing is tight, it is always worth contacting us – we will explain current availability and offer the earliest realistic date that still allows us to deliver a thorough, careful clean.
