Our House Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or through our website and tell us about your property: size, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, current condition and any priorities. We will recommend the most suitable service – for example, a one-off deep clean to start, followed by regular maintenance visits – and provide a clear, no-obligation quote.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most standard properties, a detailed phone or video consultation is enough. For larger homes, heavily soiled properties or where specialist work is needed, we can arrange an onsite survey in Putney. This allows us to assess access, parking, floor types and any delicate items so we can allocate the right trained team and equipment.
3. Preparation
Before we arrive, we will confirm the date, time and agreed tasks in writing. We ask that small personal items are put away and that we have clear access to the areas to be cleaned. On the day, our professional cleaners arrive in uniform with all necessary products and tools, protect surfaces where needed and work methodically through your home. At the end, we invite you to walk round and check you are happy before we leave.
Transparent House Cleaning Prices
We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras. Our house cleaning is typically charged:
- By the hour for regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning
- At a fixed price for one-off deep cleans and end of tenancy cleans
Prices vary depending on the size of your property, the level of soiling, frequency of visits and whether you combine cleaning with carpet or upholstery services. During your quotation we explain exactly what is included, how long the clean is expected to take and any optional extras, so you can make an informed decision.
Why Choose Professional Cleaning Over DIY?
Cleaning your own home is perfectly possible, but there are clear advantages to using a professional service:
- Consistent standards – our cleaners follow a structured checklist so nothing is missed
- Time saving – free up evenings and weekends for family, work or rest
- Proper products and equipment – including professional-grade vacuums and safe cleaning solutions
- Better hygiene – targeted cleaning of high-touch areas and effective limescale and mould treatment
- Accountability – if something is not quite right, you have a company to contact and we will put it right
For landlords and tenants, using a recognised cleaning company can also provide written invoices and evidence of cleaning if there are any disputes.
Insurance, Training and Professional Standards
As a responsible local company, we operate to high standards and are fully covered so you are protected at every stage.
- Public liability cover – to protect against accidental damage or injury while we are working in your home
- Goods in transit insurance – where we transport specialist equipment or your soft furnishings for separate cleaning
- Fully insured staff – all cleaners are covered while working on your premises
- Trained teams – our cleaners receive ongoing training in safe product use, surface care and hygiene best practice
We respect your privacy and security at all times. Key-holding arrangements are managed carefully, and alarm codes are stored securely and only shared with those who need them.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every property as if it were our own. Our cleaners use appropriate cloths and tools for different surfaces to avoid scratching or damage, and we are careful around valuables, electronics and delicate finishes.
Where possible, we choose low-odour, environmentally considerate products that are effective yet gentle on surfaces and safer for children, pets and allergy sufferers. We also:
- Use colour-coded cloths to prevent cross-contamination between bathrooms and kitchens
- Optimise routes and scheduling to reduce unnecessary travel
- Maintain and regularly replace equipment to keep it efficient and effective
If you prefer specific products to be used in your home, we are happy to discuss this and, where appropriate, use them as part of your cleaning plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does house cleaning in Putney cost?
The cost depends mainly on the size of your property, how often you want it cleaned and its current condition. Regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning is usually charged by the hour, with a minimum visit length to ensure we can complete a proper job. One-off deep cleans and end of tenancy cleans are normally priced as a fixed package. During your enquiry, we will ask a few questions and then provide a clear written quote with no obligation, so you know exactly what you will be paying.
Can you provide same-day or urgent house cleaning?
We do our best to help with urgent bookings, especially for end of tenancy cleans, last-minute landlord inspections or pre-visitor tidy-ups. Same-day cleaning in Putney is sometimes possible if we have a gap in the schedule or a team nearby, but it cannot be guaranteed. The more notice you can give, the better the chance of securing your preferred time. If you need urgent help, call us rather than emailing – we can quickly check availability and let you know what is realistically achievable.
Are you insured while working in my home?
Yes. We are fully insured for the work we carry out in your property. This includes public liability cover to protect against accidental damage or injury, and goods in transit insurance when we move specialist equipment or items such as rugs or upholstery for separate cleaning. Our staff are trained to work carefully and respectfully in your home, but insurance provides an extra layer of reassurance. If you would like to see evidence of our policies, we are happy to provide documentation on request before any work begins.
What exactly is included in a standard house clean?
A standard house clean focuses on the regular tasks needed to keep your home fresh and hygienic. This typically includes dusting, vacuuming, mopping hard floors, cleaning bathrooms and toilets, wiping kitchen surfaces and cupboard fronts, cleaning sinks and hobs, emptying bins and polishing mirrors and accessible glass. We also wipe down high-touch points such as light switches and door handles. Specialist work such as oven cleaning, carpet shampooing and internal fridge cleaning is not included as standard but can be added at additional cost if required.
How far in advance should I book?
For regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance to secure your preferred day and time, especially if you need evening or weekend slots. One-off deep cleans and end of tenancy cleans are best booked as soon as you know your dates, as these often require longer time slots and larger teams. We will always try to accommodate shorter notice where possible, but more advance planning gives you greater choice and avoids disappointment during busy periods.
Do I need to be at home while you clean?
No, you do not have to be present while we clean, although you are welcome to be. Many clients are at work or out during visits. We can agree secure key-holding arrangements or work with concierge services in apartment buildings. At the first visit, some clients prefer to be there to show us around and confirm priorities, then leave us to it on future cleans. Whatever you choose, we will treat your home with respect and follow any access instructions you provide.
