How Our House Cleaning Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone or online with details of your property: size, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, preferred days and any specific issues (pets, heavy limescale, post-build dust and so on). We ask a few practical questions and provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually based on our hourly rate and the estimated time needed.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger homes, deep cleans or end of tenancy work, we may suggest a short video call or onsite visit. This helps us assess access, parking, surface types and any areas that need extra attention. It also allows us to confirm timings and ensure we allocate the right number of cleaners.
3. Preparation Before Cleaning
Before the team arrives, we ask that you move valuables and confidential documents to a safe place and clear major clutter from floors and surfaces where possible. On the day, our professional cleaners arrive in the agreed time window with products and equipment, walk through the priorities with you, and then work systematically through the property. At the end, we invite you to check the work and raise any questions on the spot.
Transparent House Cleaning Pricing
We keep pricing straightforward. Most house cleaning in Richmond upon Thames is charged by the hour, with a minimum booking time that depends on the size of the property. Factors that affect the price include:
- Property size and number of bathrooms
- Condition of the property (standard clean vs deep clean)
- Frequency – weekly, fortnightly or one-off
- Any add-on services such as oven or carpet cleaning
Your quote will state the hourly rate, estimated duration and what is covered. There are no hidden charges; any parking or congestion costs are discussed in advance where applicable.
Why Choose Professional Cleaners Instead of DIY?
Many people can manage routine tidying, but professional cleaners bring structure, experience and efficiency that are hard to match on a busy schedule. We use trade-quality products, follow proven methods and know how to deal with common problems like limescale, soap scum, ingrained dirt and pet hair without damaging surfaces.
Professional cleaning also supports better hygiene, especially in kitchens and bathrooms, and helps protect carpets, floors and fixtures over time. Regular, thorough cleans reduce wear and tear, which is particularly valuable for landlords and homeowners planning to sell or let.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a responsible local company, we operate with full, up-to-date cover and clear standards:
- Public liability cover to protect you and your property
- Goods in transit insurance where our work involves moving or transporting items in connection with specialist cleaning
- Trained cleaning teams with ongoing supervision and quality checks
All cleaners are vetted, referenced and trained in safe product use, colour-coding, and careful handling of surfaces and furnishings. We work respectfully in your home and follow any building or estate rules you inform us about.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take care to protect surfaces, furnishings and the environment while we work. Where possible, we choose lower-impact products that still deliver reliable hygiene. Microfibre cloths and correct dilution help reduce waste and unnecessary chemical use.
Extra care is taken with natural stone, real wood, wool carpets and delicate fabrics; we always test products in an inconspicuous area when needed. If you prefer us to use your own eco products, just let us know during booking and we will work to your preferences.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does house cleaning in Richmond upon Thames cost?
Pricing depends mainly on the size and condition of your property, plus how often you’d like us to visit. We typically work on an hourly rate with a minimum booking time, and we’ll suggest a realistic number of hours based on your description or a short survey. Deep cleans and end of tenancy jobs take longer than light, regular maintenance cleaning. Your quote will clearly set out the hourly rate, estimated duration and what’s included, so you’ll know the likely total before you commit.
Can you provide same-day or urgent house cleaning?
Same-day or urgent cleaning may be possible, especially outside peak times, but it depends on our schedule and the size of the job. If you need a last-minute clean for a visit, inspection or checkout, call us as early in the day as you can. We’ll check current availability and let you know what can realistically be achieved in the time. In some cases, we might suggest a focused clean of key areas such as kitchen, bathrooms and main living spaces rather than a full-property clean.
Are you insured while cleaning my home?
Yes. We hold comprehensive public liability cover, and where our service involves moving or transporting items in connection with specialist cleaning, we maintain appropriate goods in transit insurance. Our teams are properly trained in handling clients’ belongings with care, and we follow clear procedures if anything is accidentally damaged. Details of our insurance can be provided on request. We also encourage you to move particularly fragile or sentimental items to a safe place before we start, for your peace of mind.
What is included in a standard house cleaning visit?
A typical visit includes dusting and wiping of reachable surfaces, vacuuming of carpets and rugs, mopping of hard floors where suitable, and full cleaning of bathrooms and WCs. In the kitchen, we clean worktops, sinks, hobs, appliance fronts and cupboard doors, plus floors. Bedrooms and living areas are dusted and vacuumed, with bins emptied where liners are provided. Tasks like internal ovens, inside fridges, carpet shampoo and external windows are not standard, but many can be added if requested in advance so we can allow enough time.
How far in advance should I book a house clean?
For regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning, it’s best to book at least one to two weeks in advance so we can secure your preferred day and time. For deep cleans, end of tenancy work or larger properties, a little more notice helps us schedule the right team size. That said, we will always try to accommodate shorter notice where possible. If you have a fixed deadline, such as a move-out date or photoshoot, contact us as soon as dates are confirmed so we can plan around them.
Do I need to be at home while you clean?
You are welcome to be at home, but it’s not essential. Many clients provide us with a key or arrange key collection through a neighbour, concierge or key safe. We have clear key-holding procedures to keep your property secure, and we only access your home during agreed times. If it’s your first clean, you may prefer to be present for the initial visit to walk us through your preferences; after that, we can work independently according to the agreed checklist.
