Our Step-by-Step Domestic Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone, email or online form with basic details of your property: location, number of bedrooms/bathrooms, type of service (one-off or regular) and any priorities. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, outlining the estimated time, frequency and price. We explain what is included, optional extras and any access or parking considerations specific to your area of London.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For most standard domestic cleaning jobs, a short virtual survey (photos, video call, or detailed questionnaire) is sufficient. For larger properties, complex layouts or specialist requests, we may arrange a quick onsite visit. This helps us allocate the right number of trained cleaners, bring suitable equipment and agree any particular instructions, such as pets in the home or delicate surfaces that need special care.

3. Preparation

Before the first clean, we confirm date, arrival window and key access. We ask you to remove valuable or fragile items from surfaces where possible. On arrival, our team walks through the property with you (or follows agreed instructions), confirms priorities, and then prepares the work areas – setting up equipment, choosing appropriate cleaning products and protecting any sensitive finishes before starting the clean.

Transparent Pricing for Domestic Cleaning in London

We price our domestic cleaning fairly and transparently based on:

• Property size and number of bathrooms
• Type of service (regular vs one-off deep clean)
• Frequency of visits
• Any add-ons such as inside oven or fridge cleaning

Regular cleaning is usually charged at a fixed hourly rate with a minimum booking time, while one-off and end of tenancy cleans are often priced per job. There are no hidden charges – parking and congestion arrangements are discussed in advance. Your quote sets out exactly what you pay and what you receive, so you can budget with confidence.

Why Professional Domestic Cleaning Beats DIY

Many people start with DIY cleaning and then realise how much time and energy it consumes. A professional domestic cleaning service offers several advantages:

• Consistency – scheduled visits mean your home is always presentable, not only when you have spare time.
• Professional techniques – trained cleaners know how to deal with limescale, grease, dust and stains efficiently.
• Better equipment and products – we use commercial-grade tools and suitable chemicals for different surfaces.
• Health benefits – regular sanitising of high-touch points reduces germs and allergens.
• Time saved – you free up evenings and weekends for work, family and rest, while we handle the cleaning.

Insurance and Professional Standards

As an established London cleaning company, we take responsibility for the work we carry out in your home. Our services are supported by:

• Goods in transit insurance – covers equipment and materials we bring to and from your property.
• Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury during our visit.
• Trained cleaning teams – our staff are vetted, supervised and trained in safe working practices.

We follow recognised industry standards for domestic cleaning, health and safety, and data protection, and we operate clear procedures for keys, alarms and access instructions.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every property as if it were our own, with particular attention to care and protection:

• Using appropriate microfibre cloths to avoid scratching delicate surfaces
• Testing products on small areas where surfaces are unfamiliar or delicate
• Being mindful around electronics, artwork and personal items

Where practical, we use eco-conscious products and methods, reducing harsh chemicals while still delivering effective hygiene. We aim to minimise waste, use refillable containers where possible and plan routes efficiently around London to reduce unnecessary travel.

Local Expertise Across London

Working daily across London gives us strong local knowledge, from access and parking restrictions to typical property layouts. We are used to working in converted Victorian houses, new-build apartments, mansion blocks and everything in between. This experience helps us plan realistic cleaning times, bring the right equipment and respect building rules and neighbours. Our flexible scheduling means we can usually find convenient slots that fit busy London lifestyles.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does domestic cleaning in London cost?

Pricing depends mainly on property size, number of bathrooms and how often you would like us to visit. Regular weekly or fortnightly visits are generally charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking, while one-off and deep cleans are priced according to the work involved. We always provide a clear, written quote before you commit, outlining the expected duration, tasks included and any agreed extras. There are no hidden charges, and we will discuss potential parking or congestion costs in advance where relevant.

Can you offer same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?

Same-day or urgent cleaning is sometimes possible, depending on team availability and location within London. If you need a short-notice clean, for example after unexpected guests or before a property inspection, contact us as early as you can with details. We will check schedules and let you know what we can realistically achieve in the time available. Priority is given to health and safety and maintaining our usual standards, so for very last-minute requests we may suggest a focused clean on key areas rather than a full-property service.

Are your cleaners insured, and what does the insurance cover?

Yes, we are fully insured. Our cover includes public liability, which protects you in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury during our visit, and goods in transit insurance for the equipment and materials we bring to and from your home. Our cleaners are also trained in safe working methods to reduce risk in the first place. We are happy to confirm details of our insurance on request, and we operate clear procedures for reporting and resolving any issues quickly and fairly.

What is included in a standard domestic cleaning visit?

A standard visit usually covers dusting and wiping all reachable surfaces, vacuuming carpets and rugs, mopping hard floors, cleaning bathrooms and toilets, and wiping kitchen worktops, cupboard fronts and appliance exteriors. We also empty bins and do light tidying of surfaces. The exact checklist is agreed in advance and can be tailored to your priorities – for example, focusing more time on bathrooms and kitchen or giving extra attention to high-traffic areas. Deep tasks such as internal oven cleaning or carpet shampooing can be added as extras.

How far in advance should I book domestic cleaning?

For regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance to secure your preferred day and time. One-off deep cleans, end of tenancy and pre-move cleans are best arranged as early as possible, especially around month-end when demand is higher across London. That said, we will always try to accommodate shorter notice where our schedule allows. Once your regular slot is confirmed, it is reserved for you, and we will work with you if you need to adjust dates due to holidays or other commitments.
