House Cleaning in London by Professional Sofa Cleaning

At Professional Sofa Cleaning, we provide thorough, reliable house cleaning across London for busy households, landlords, letting agents and small businesses. Drawing on years of hands-on experience in homes of every size, we deliver a detailed clean that leaves your property fresh, hygienic and ready for everyday living.

What Our London House Cleaning Service Includes

Our house cleaning is designed to take care of the jobs most people struggle to keep on top of. A standard visit typically includes:

• Dusting of skirting boards, surfaces, shelves and accessible light fittings
• Vacuuming of carpets, rugs and soft furnishings
• Mopping hard floors (wood, laminate, tiles, vinyl)
• Kitchen clean: worktops, cupboard fronts, hobs, splashbacks, sinks and taps
• Bathroom clean: toilets, showers, baths, basins, tiles and mirrors
• Internal glass and mirrors wiped and polished
• Bins emptied and liners replaced (where provided)

We also offer optional deep cleaning and end of tenancy cleaning where we go further into appliance detailing, limescale removal and built-up grime in hard-to-reach areas.

Who Our House Cleaning Service Is For

Homeowners

If you own your home and want a regular, dependable clean, we can set up weekly, fortnightly or monthly visits. We focus on high-traffic areas and the finer details that make a house feel cared for.

Renters

We help tenants maintain a clean, comfortable space and avoid disputes at the end of a tenancy. Our move-out house cleaning is particularly popular for those wanting the property to meet letting agent standards.

Landlords and Letting Agents

We work closely with landlords and agents across London who need consistent results between lets. Our teams understand inventory requirements and focus on presentation, odour removal and hygiene to help properties re-let quickly.

Businesses and Home Offices

Small businesses, serviced accommodations and home offices benefit from our flexible, discreet cleaning visits. We help keep workspaces presentable for staff and visitors without disrupting your schedule.

Students and Shared Houses

Shared accommodation often gets heavy use and limited cleaning. We provide one-off deep cleans and regular visits for student houses and HMOs so common areas stay hygienic and manageable.

What Is Included and Excluded

Typical Items Included

• All accessible surfaces, shelves and window sills
• Floors: vacuum and mop as appropriate
• Bathroom fittings, tiles and sanitary ware
• Kitchen worktops, cupboard exteriors and appliances wiped externally
• Light switches, door handles and touch points wiped
• General tidy of visible clutter (within reason)

Items Usually Excluded

To keep pricing fair and visits on time, some tasks are not included in a standard house clean:

• External window cleaning above ground floor
• Heavy stain removal on carpets or upholstery (covered under our specialist cleaning)
• Gardening, exterior jet washing and rubbish removal
• Cleaning of areas requiring unsafe access (e.g. standing on furniture or over-stretching)
• Deep oven cleaning and inside appliances unless agreed as an add-on
• Decluttering or sorting of large volumes of personal belongings

If you have specific requests, we can usually incorporate them into a bespoke cleaning plan or quote them as additional services.

Our Step-by-Step House Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You can contact us by phone, email or online form. We ask a few simple questions about the property: number of bedrooms and bathrooms, type of flooring, current condition and whether you need a regular clean or a one-off deep clean. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation estimate with no hidden extras.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most standard homes, a virtual survey is sufficient. You can describe each room or share photos and videos. For larger or more complex properties, we recommend a short onsite visit. This helps us judge the level of work realistically and allocate the right number of cleaners and time, ensuring your quote is accurate and the clean is completed properly.

3. Preparation Before We Arrive

Before the team arrives, we ask that you:

• Ensure we can access all rooms to be cleaned
• Put away valuable or fragile items where possible
• Advise us of any delicate surfaces or problem areas
• Secure pets safely, especially if they are nervous around strangers

We bring our own professional cleaning products and equipment as standard, unless you prefer us to use your own for allergy or eco reasons.

Transparent Pricing for House Cleaning in London

Our pricing is straightforward and based primarily on property size, condition and frequency of cleaning. We typically work on an hourly rate with a minimum booking time, agreed in advance.

• Smaller flats and studios usually require fewer hours per visit
• Larger or heavily used homes may need more time, especially on initial cleans
• Regular bookings often benefit from a more favourable rate than one-off visits
• Deep cleaning, end of tenancy and add-ons (e.g. inside oven or fridge) are quoted separately

Every quote is confirmed in writing so you know exactly what is included and how long the team will be onsite.

Why Professional House Cleaning Beats DIY

Most people can manage basic cleaning, but a professional house cleaning service brings significant advantages:

• Trained cleaners follow a systematic method so no areas are overlooked
• Commercial-grade products and tools allow for deeper, longer-lasting results
• Built-in time allocation ensures the whole property is completed in one visit
• Reduced stress and time pressure for you, especially around moves and inspections
• Consistent standards from visit to visit, not just when you have spare time

In our experience, a well-planned professional clean often reveals the true condition of surfaces and furnishings in a way casual cleaning cannot.

Insurance and Professional Standards

As an established cleaning company, we take protection and professionalism seriously:

• Public liability cover – protects you in the unlikely event of accidental damage to your property
• Goods in transit insurance – covers cleaning equipment and materials while we travel to and from your home
• Trained cleaning teams – our staff are trained in correct product use, surface care and safe working practices

We operate with clear checklists, supervision where needed and proper record-keeping for regular clients. All work is carried out with respect for your home and privacy.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We aim to clean thoroughly while protecting your belongings and the environment:

• Protective pads placed under equipment to avoid marking floors
• Colour-coded cloths to prevent cross-contamination between bathrooms and kitchens
• Use of professional but low-odour, low-residue products wherever possible
• Eco-friendlier options available on request, including plant-based products
• Microfibre technology to reduce chemical usage while still achieving a high standard

We always test unfamiliar or delicate surfaces in a small, hidden area first and follow manufacturer care instructions where provided.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does house cleaning in London cost?

Pricing depends on the size and condition of your property, plus how often you’d like us to visit. Most homes are charged on an hourly basis with a minimum booking time, agreed in advance. A small flat will naturally cost less than a large family house, and regular visits are usually more economical than one-off cleans. After a quick discussion or virtual survey, we’ll give you a clear written quote outlining the estimated hours, what’s included and any optional extras, so you can decide what best suits your budget.

Can you provide same-day or urgent house cleaning?

We can often help with same-day or urgent cleaning, especially during weekdays, but it depends on our schedule and the size of the property. If you need a last-minute clean for a landlord inspection, guests arriving or a move-out, contact us as early in the day as possible. We’ll check team availability, discuss your priorities and focus on the areas that matter most if time is limited. While we can’t guarantee emergency slots, we always do our best to accommodate genuine urgent requests.

Are your cleaners insured while working in my home?

Yes. We hold comprehensive public liability cover to protect against accidental damage or injury while we’re working in your property. Our equipment and materials are also protected by goods in transit insurance as they travel to and from your home. Each team member is trained in safe handling, appropriate product use and respectful behaviour in clients’ homes. If you ever have specific concerns about valuable or fragile items, we’re happy to discuss them in advance and agree how those areas will be approached or avoided.

What exactly is included in your house cleaning service?

Our standard service covers general cleaning of all accessible rooms: dusting, vacuuming, mopping, bathroom sanitising, kitchen surfaces, cupboard exteriors, hobs, sinks, tiles, and internal glass and mirrors. We also empty bins and wipe touch points like door handles and switches. Deep tasks such as inside ovens, fridges, cupboards and heavy limescale removal can be added if needed. Before we start, we’ll confirm which rooms are included, any add-ons you’ve requested and how long the team will be onsite, so you know precisely what to expect from the visit.

How far in advance should I book a house clean?

For regular weekly or fortnightly slots, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks ahead, especially if you prefer specific days or times. For one-off or deep cleans, more notice gives us flexibility to allocate the right size team, but we can often fit you in within a few days. If you’re working to a fixed date, such as a move-out or handover, it’s best to secure your appointment as soon as the date is confirmed. We’ll then plan the cleaning schedule around your timings.
