Local London House Cleaning Expertise

We focus solely on London homes, so we understand the realities of city living – busy schedules, compact spaces, shared houses and apartment blocks. Our teams are used to dealing with everything from period terraces and new-build flats to HMOs and student accommodation. We plan our visits around London traffic, parking and access issues to arrive on time and complete your clean efficiently and safely.

Who Our House Cleaning Service Is For

Our professional house cleaning is suitable for almost any type of residential property in London, including:

Homeowners who want a regular, reliable clean to keep on top of dust, limescale and everyday mess.
Renters looking for a tidy, well-kept home or needing a one-off clean before an inspection.
Landlords who require consistent standards across their rental portfolio between tenancies.
Businesses with staff accommodation or live-in properties that must be maintained to a professional standard.
Students in shared houses or halls who need help getting the property back in shape.

We tailor each clean to your property type, occupancy and priorities, so you receive a practical service that fits your lifestyle.

What Is Included in Our House Cleaning

We offer different levels of service, from regular maintenance cleaning to detailed deep cleaning. A typical standard clean may include:

Dusting and wiping of accessible surfaces, skirting boards and sills
Vacuuming of carpets, rugs and soft flooring
Mopping of hard floors (tiles, laminate, vinyl, wood as appropriate)
Cleaning of kitchen worktops, hob, cupboard fronts and splashbacks
Wiping external surfaces of appliances (fridge, microwave, oven door)
Bathroom cleaning, including toilet, sink, bath, shower and taps
Emptying household bins and replacing liners (where provided)
Light switches, door handles and high-touch areas wiped
Making beds and straightening rooms (on request)

Our deep cleaning can go further, focusing on limescale removal, tile grout, behind furniture (where safe to move), and detail work in kitchens and bathrooms. We discuss your priorities in advance so we focus our time where it matters most.

What Is Not Included as Standard

To remain clear and transparent, some tasks are not included in our standard house cleaning services:

Professional carpet or upholstery cleaning using hot water extraction (available as an additional service).
Heavy-duty cleaning such as biohazard, hoarder or construction site clearance.
Exterior window cleaning beyond safe internal reach.
Gardening, rubbish removal or skip hire.
Chimney, gutter or roof cleaning.
Specialist cleaning for antiques, artworks or delicate items without prior agreement.
High-access cleaning requiring scaffolding or specialist equipment.

If you are unsure whether something is covered, we are always happy to clarify before the clean so there are no surprises on the day.

How Our House Cleaning Process Works

We follow a simple, structured process to keep your cleaning service straightforward and consistent.

1. Enquiry & Quote

You can contact us by phone, email or our online form with basic details of your property: location, size (number of bedrooms and bathrooms), type of service (regular or one-off), and any particular concerns. We then provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually based on an hourly rate with an estimated number of hours, or a fixed price for specific one-off services such as end of tenancy cleaning.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most standard home cleans, a brief virtual survey (photos or video call) is enough to confirm the quote. For larger properties, heavily soiled homes or specialist requests, we may recommend an onsite visit. This allows us to assess access, parking, cleaning priorities, and any fragile or high-value items. The survey ensures we allocate the right trained team and equipment, and that the agreed price reflects the real workload.

3. Preparation Before Cleaning

Before our cleaners arrive, we ask that valuables, important documents and very fragile items are put safely aside. If you would like us to change bed linen, please leave clean sets on the beds. We bring our own professional cleaning products and equipment as standard, but we can also use your preferred products if you have allergies or specific requirements. On the day, our team arrives in uniform, runs through the agreed plan, and then works systematically from room to room.

Transparent Pricing & How We Charge

We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Most regular house cleaning is charged at an hourly rate, with a minimum booking time to ensure a thorough job. One-off deep cleans and end of tenancy cleans may be offered as a fixed price based on property size and condition.

Your quote will set out:

The hourly rate or fixed fee.
The estimated duration of the clean.
What is included and any optional extras.
Any parking or congestion charges, where applicable.

There are no hidden charges. If, during the survey or on arrival, we believe more time is required to reach the standard you expect, we will discuss this with you before any work begins.

Why Choose Professional Cleaning Over DIY?

Many people can carry out basic cleaning, but a professional service offers several advantages:

Consistency: A trained cleaner follows a structured checklist so nothing is missed.
Time saving: You reclaim your evenings and weekends while we handle the work.
Better equipment and products: Professional-grade products can tackle limescale, grease and dirt more effectively.
Attention to detail: Corners, edges, high-touch points and awkward spots are included as part of our routine.
Hygiene and health: Proper disinfection reduces allergens, bacteria and build-up of dust.

Most importantly, you receive a predictable, manageable standard of cleanliness that is hard to maintain around a busy life.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Your home and belongings are important, which is why our service is fully backed by appropriate cover and training:

Public liability cover to protect against accidental damage or incidents while we are working in your home.
Goods in transit insurance where we transport cleaning equipment and materials to and from your property.
Trained, reference-checked, uniformed cleaners who follow established cleaning methods and safety procedures.

We operate with clear checklists, quality control spot-checks and documented procedures, so standards remain consistent no matter which team attends your property.

Care, Protection and Sustainable Cleaning

We treat every home with respect, working carefully around your belongings and surfaces. We always check material types before using stronger products and test in inconspicuous areas where necessary. Floors are cleaned using methods suitable for their finish, reducing the risk of damage to wood, stone or delicate tiles.

Where possible, we use high-quality, low-impact cleaning products that are effective yet mindful of the environment. We minimise waste, avoid unnecessary single-use items and dose chemicals accurately to reduce overuse. If you prefer eco-friendly cleaning products only, please let us know and we can tailor the service accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does house cleaning in London cost?

Pricing depends on the size and condition of your property and whether you choose a regular or one-off service. Regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning is typically charged at an hourly rate, with a minimum booking duration to ensure we can complete a thorough job. One-off deep cleans and end of tenancy cleans may be priced per property, based on bedrooms and bathrooms. We always provide a clear quote in advance, outlining what is included, the estimated time required, and any additional charges such as parking or congestion fees where applicable.

Can you provide same-day or urgent house cleaning?

We can often accommodate same-day or short-notice bookings, especially outside peak times, but it depends on existing schedules and team availability. If you need urgent cleaning for a last-minute visit, inspection or move, contact us as early as possible with full details of the property and your priorities. We will let you know what can realistically be achieved in the available time and confirm the cost before you commit. For guaranteed slots and deep cleans, booking a few days in advance is usually recommended.

Are you insured while working in my home?

Yes. We hold comprehensive public liability cover to protect you in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury while we are working in your property. In addition, we maintain goods in transit insurance to cover our cleaning equipment and materials while travelling to and from your home. All our cleaners are trained to handle your belongings carefully and to report any issues immediately. Details of our insurance policies can be provided on request before your first booking for your peace of mind.

What is included in a standard house cleaning service?

A standard service focuses on the regular tasks that keep your home clean and hygienic: dusting surfaces, vacuuming carpets and rugs, mopping hard floors, cleaning bathrooms and toilets, wiping kitchen worktops and cupboard fronts, and tidying visible areas. We also empty bins and can make beds if clean linen is provided. Ovens, inside fridges, window exteriors and heavy-limescale removal are usually part of a deeper or specialist clean. Before we start, we agree a checklist with you so you know exactly what is included on each visit.

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, particularly if you have a preferred day or time. Deep cleans, move-in and end of tenancy cleans can be in higher demand at month-end and weekends, so securing your slot earlier gives you more choice. That said, we always try to accommodate shorter notice where possible. Once your schedule is in place, your visits will be recurring, and we will notify you promptly of any need to adjust timing due to bank holidays or exceptional circumstances.
