Our Step-by-Step Domestic Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact us by phone, email or online form with details of your property, the number of rooms and the type of clean you need (regular, one-off or deep clean). We ask a few straightforward questions, then provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on your requirements and the time we expect the clean to take.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most standard domestic cleans, a quick virtual survey via photos or video call is enough for an accurate estimate. For larger homes or properties needing a deep clean, we may recommend an onsite visit in London. This allows us to assess the condition of carpets, bathrooms, kitchens and soft furnishings, and to identify any delicate items or access issues.
3. Preparation
Before our team arrives, we ask that you move any particularly fragile or sentimental items to a safe place. On the day, our cleaners arrive within the agreed time window, equipped with professional products and tools. We walk through the property with you (where possible) to confirm priorities and any areas needing special attention, then protect flooring and corners as needed while equipment is moved in.
4. Detailed Cleaning
We then work methodically through your home, usually from top to bottom and from cleanest to dirtiest areas. High-touch points are sanitised, bathrooms are descaled and disinfected, and kitchens are degreased and wiped down. Where you have booked additional sofa, upholstery or carpet cleaning, we carry out these services in a logical order to allow for drying time.
5. Final Check & Feedback
Once the clean is finished, we invite you to check the property with us, room by room, to ensure you are happy with the result. Any touch-ups requested are dealt with on the spot where possible. We then confirm ongoing arrangements (if you have booked regular cleaning) and discuss any recommendations for future maintenance.
Transparent Pricing for Domestic Cleaning
We price our domestic cleaning in London mainly by time, property size and the level of work required.
- Regular domestic cleaning: usually charged at an hourly rate, with a minimum booking time
- One-off or deep cleans: quoted per job based on size, condition and any specialist tasks
- Optional extras: such as sofa cleaning or carpet cleaning are priced separately and clearly itemised
There are no hidden charges. Parking, congestion and materials are discussed in advance where relevant. We confirm all rates in writing before you book, and we only adjust prices if the scope of work changes with your agreement.
Why Choose Professional Domestic Cleaners Instead of DIY
Many people clean their own homes, but there are clear advantages to bringing in a professional domestic cleaning team:
- We use commercial-grade products and machinery that achieve a deeper clean than most household products.
- Our cleaners are trained in safe and effective techniques for different surfaces and fabrics.
- We follow structured checklists, reducing the risk of missed areas and inconsistent results.
- You save valuable time and energy and can rely on a regular, predictable standard of cleanliness.
- We can address more stubborn issues such as limescale, grease build-up and fabric soiling safely.
DIY cleaning has its place, but for busy households, larger properties or move-related cleans, professional support is often more efficient and more thorough.
Insurance, Training and Professional Standards
As a responsible London cleaning company, we take protection and standards very seriously.
- Fully insured – we hold robust public liability cover to protect you and your property while we work.
- Goods in transit insurance – for any equipment or items we transport as part of specialist cleaning services.
- Trained teams – our cleaners receive structured training in safe chemical use, colour-coding, handling of delicate surfaces and data protection when working in occupied homes.
- Health and safety – risk assessments and method statements are available for larger or more complex jobs.
Our aim is to provide a consistent, reliable service where you feel comfortable giving our team access to your home, even when you are not present.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every property as if it were our own. That means taking small but important steps to protect surfaces, furnishings and the wider environment.
- Using appropriate products for each material to minimise wear and damage
- Colour-coded cloths and mops to avoid cross-contamination between bathrooms and kitchens
- Reasonable use of eco-friendlier products where effective, particularly in homes with children or pets
- Efficient route planning across London to reduce travel time and emissions
- Advising on ventilation and maintenance to prolong the life of carpets, sofas and mattresses
Where a more powerful chemical is needed (for example, heavy limescale removal), we explain this in advance and ensure it is used safely and sparingly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does domestic cleaning cost in London?
Our pricing depends mainly on the size of your property, how often you’d like us to visit and whether you need a standard or deep clean. Regular domestic cleaning is usually charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking time, while one-off and deep cleans are quoted per job. Any extras, such as sofa or carpet cleaning, are itemised separately so you can see exactly what you’re paying for. We’re happy to provide a clear written quote after a brief discussion or virtual survey.
Can you provide same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?
We can often help with same-day or urgent cleaning in London, especially for smaller properties or short, targeted cleans. Availability depends on our schedule and the time of your enquiry, but we do our best to accommodate move-out deadlines, last-minute visits from landlords, or unexpected guests. For larger homes or deep cleans at short notice, we may need to send a larger team or split the work over two visits. Contact us as early as possible and we’ll advise honestly about what we can achieve in the time.
Are you insured if something is damaged?
Yes. We are fully insured with public liability cover in place, and we also hold goods in transit insurance for any equipment or items we transport as part of our work. Our teams are trained to handle your belongings carefully and to flag any concerns before starting. In the unlikely event that something is damaged during a clean, we follow a clear incident and claims procedure and keep you informed at each step. Details of our cover are available on request and can be provided to landlords or managing agents if required.
What’s included in a domestic cleaning visit?
A standard visit typically includes dusting, wiping and sanitising surfaces, cleaning bathrooms and toilets, degreasing and wiping down kitchen surfaces, vacuuming carpets and rugs, and mopping hard floors. We also empty household bins and clean internal glass and mirrors. Before your first clean, we agree a checklist with you, noting any priorities such as heavier bathroom descaling or kitchen focus. Tasks like deep oven cleaning, external windows, decluttering or specialist upholstery and carpet care are not included as standard but can be added to your booking at an agreed additional cost.
How far in advance do I need to book?
For regular domestic cleaning, it’s best to book at least one to two weeks in advance so we can secure your preferred day and time. One-off or deep cleans, especially around busy periods such as the end of the month or before holidays, may require a little more notice. That said, we do keep some flexibility for urgent bookings in London, so it’s always worth contacting us even at short notice. Once your regular slot is confirmed, it’s reserved for you, and we’ll discuss any changes or holiday arrangements well ahead of time.
