What Is Not Included as Standard

To keep pricing fair and work safe for our teams, some tasks are not included in a standard house clean:

• External window cleaning above ground floor
• Carpet steam cleaning or upholstery shampooing
• Cleaning of biohazardous waste or heavy building debris
• Deep appliance cleaning inside ovens, fridges and freezers (available on request)

If you require any of the above, let us know when you enquire. Many can be arranged as additional services or via trusted specialist partners.

Our Step-by-Step House Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone, email or our online form, sharing details of your property, number of rooms, preferred dates and any particular concerns. We ask a few focused questions to understand your priorities and then provide a clear, no-obligation quote. For regular cleaning, we explain how visits are scheduled and what to expect from your dedicated cleaner or team.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most homes, we complete a quick virtual survey using photos or a short video call. For larger or more complex properties, we can arrange an onsite visit. This allows us to confirm the cleaning time required, identify any delicate surfaces, and agree specific instructions. It also helps prevent surprises on the day and ensures our professional cleaners arrive with the right products and equipment.

3. Preparation & Cleaning Day

Before the first clean, we confirm your booking, arrival window and access arrangements. On the day, our trained team arrive in uniform with professional-grade products and tools. We walk through your property (where you are present), double-check priorities and then work methodically from top to bottom. At the end, we invite you to inspect the results so we can fine-tune the service to your preferences for future visits.

Transparent Pricing for House Cleaning in London

We believe in clear, transparent pricing. Our rates are based on:

• Size and condition of the property
• Type of service – regular cleaning or one-off/deep clean
• Frequency of visits
• Any requested add-ons (for example inside oven or fridge)

Regular house cleaning is usually priced at an hourly rate with a minimum booking time, while deep and end of tenancy cleans are often quoted per job. We provide a written estimate before you confirm, with no hidden extras. If we believe more time is needed on the first visit, we will discuss options with you before proceeding.

Why Choose Professional House Cleaning Over DIY

Many of our clients are perfectly capable of cleaning but lack the time, energy or specialist know-how. Benefits of using a professional service include:

• Consistent standards – the same areas are cleaned properly every visit
• Professional tools and products tailored to different surfaces
• Reduced wear and damage from incorrect cleaning methods
• Time saved for work, family or rest
• Peace of mind that your home is hygienic, especially in kitchens and bathrooms

As experienced cleaners, we spot build-ups of limescale, mould and grime early, preventing bigger issues later and helping to protect your fixtures and fittings.

Insurance, Training and Professional Standards

Flat Cleaners London operates to strict industry standards. We are:

• Fully insured with public liability cover for your protection
• Covered by suitable goods in transit insurance when transporting equipment and products to your property
• Staffed by trained, reference-checked cleaners who follow detailed checklists

Our teams are briefed on safe handling of chemicals, appropriate use of colour-coded cloths and equipment, and respectful conduct in your home. We supervise new staff, carry out spot checks and actively seek feedback so we can continuously improve our service.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every property as if it were our own. That means:

• Using the right products for each surface to avoid scratching or discolouration
• Following your instructions around sensitive items, pets and security
• Taking care when moving light furniture or objects to clean behind and under them

We are committed to a more sustainable approach where possible. We favour concentrated, low-waste products and microfibre systems that reduce water and chemical use, and we are happy to work with eco-friendly products supplied by you if preferred. Our goal is a clean, healthy home with minimal environmental impact.

Local London Expertise

Working daily across London, we understand the challenges of city living – from compact flats and shared houses to busy family homes. We are used to dealing with hard water limescale, dust from main roads, and the particular wear that rental and student properties experience. Our familiarity with local building styles and materials means we can choose appropriate techniques for everything from original floorboards to modern high-gloss finishes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does house cleaning in London cost?

Costs depend on the size and condition of your property, how often you want us to clean, and whether it is a regular or one-off service. Regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning is generally charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking, while one-off and deep cleans are quoted per job. Once you tell us about your home and priorities, we provide a clear written estimate so you know exactly what is included and how long the clean will take.

Can you provide same-day or urgent house cleaning?

We can often arrange same-day or short-notice house cleaning in London, particularly on weekdays. Availability depends on your location, the size of your property and the time of your enquiry. For urgent bookings, it helps if you can be flexible on arrival times and focus on the areas that matter most. Contact us by phone for the quickest response, and we will let you know what is realistically achievable within the time and budget you have available.

Are you insured if something gets damaged?

Yes. Flat Cleaners London is fully insured for your peace of mind. We hold public liability insurance, and our equipment and materials are covered by appropriate goods in transit insurance when being transported to and from your property. In the rare event of accidental damage, we ask you to inform us as soon as possible so we can investigate and resolve the issue promptly and fairly, following our documented procedures and the terms of our insurance policy.

What is included in a standard house cleaning service?

A standard house clean focuses on all the regular tasks needed to keep your home hygienic and presentable. This includes dusting and wiping accessible surfaces, cleaning bathrooms and toilets, refreshing the kitchen, hoovering carpets and rugs, and mopping hard floors. Bins are emptied and obvious marks are wiped from doors and switches. Inside ovens, deep appliance cleans, carpet shampooing and external high windows are not included as standard, but we can arrange many of these as additional services if requested in advance.

How far in advance should I book?

For regular house cleaning, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance to secure your preferred day and time, especially if you need early morning or evening slots. One-off or deep cleans are best booked as soon as you know your dates, particularly around month-end and holiday periods when demand is higher. That said, we will always try to accommodate late notice requests where our schedule allows, and can often offer alternative slots within a few days.
