Our Step-by-Step Domestic Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You can get in touch by phone, email or online form. We will ask a few straightforward questions about your property: size, number of bathrooms, flooring types and your priorities. Based on this, we provide a clear estimate for one-off or regular cleaning, explaining the time needed and suggested frequency. There is no pressure – just honest advice from an experienced team.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most homes, a quick virtual survey – by phone and photos – is enough to confirm the quote. For larger properties or more complex requirements, we may suggest an onsite visit at a time that suits you. This helps us allocate the right number of cleaners, bring suitable equipment and agree any extras such as carpet cleaning or appliance cleaning. We confirm everything in writing before your first clean.

3. Preparation & Cleaning Day

Before we arrive, we ask that valuables are put away and any special instructions are left clearly for the team. On the day, our trained cleaners arrive within the agreed time window, introduce themselves and walk through the plan with you if you are home. We bring professional-grade products and equipment unless you prefer us to use yours. High-touch areas are cleaned carefully, and we work room by room so nothing is missed.

Transparent Pricing for Domestic Cleaning

Domestic cleaning is priced mainly by time, property size and how often we visit.

• Regular cleaning (weekly, fortnightly, monthly) – usually a fixed hourly rate with a minimum booking time.
• One-off or deep cleans – typically cost a little more per hour as they are more detailed and time-consuming.
• Optional extras – oven cleaning, internal fridge cleaning, inside cupboards, and professional carpet cleaning are quoted separately.

We explain our rates clearly, including any parking or congestion charges where applicable. There are no hidden fees, and any changes to the price are always discussed and agreed in advance.

Why Professional Domestic Cleaning Beats DIY

Cleaning your own home is perfectly possible, but a professional service offers clear advantages:

• Consistency – We follow a systematic routine so each area is cleaned every visit, not just when you find time.
• Equipment & products – We use commercial-grade vacuums, microfibre systems and suitable cleaning solutions for different surfaces.
• Time saving – A team of two cleaners can often achieve more in two hours than one person can in an entire afternoon.
• Attention to detail – Trained eyes spot build-up in bathrooms, grout lines and high-traffic areas before it becomes difficult to remove.
• Surface protection – Knowing which products are safe for stone, wood, lacquer or specialist flooring helps prevent costly damage.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Inviting cleaners into your home is a matter of trust. We take that seriously.

• Public liability cover – We hold comprehensive public liability insurance for your protection and peace of mind.
• Goods in transit insurance – Where we transport equipment and materials, they are covered so there is no risk passed onto you.
• Trained teams – Our staff are trained in safe product use, correct dilution, manual handling and confidentiality.
• Fully insured – All domestic work is carried out by fully insured cleaners working to established procedures.

We keep clear records of visits, notes about your preferences, and any access instructions you share with us.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We aim to clean thoroughly while treating your home, contents and the environment with respect.

• Surface protection – Test products where necessary, use suitable cloths and avoid harsh abrasives on delicate finishes.
• Hygiene – Colour-coded cloths and mops to reduce cross-contamination between bathrooms, kitchens and living areas.
• Environmental approach – Where appropriate, we select low-odour and lower-impact products, and we minimise unnecessary waste.
• Respect for your home – Shoes covers where needed, careful movement of furniture and putting items back as we found them.

We are always happy to work with your preferred products if you have allergies, sensitivities or a particular environmental preference.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does domestic cleaning in Wandsworth cost?

Pricing depends mainly on the size of your property, how often you would like us to visit and whether you need a standard or deep clean. Regular weekly or fortnightly cleans are usually charged at a lower hourly rate than one-off visits, while deep cleans take longer and are priced accordingly. We provide a clear, no-obligation estimate after a short conversation or virtual survey. All labour, equipment and standard products are included, and we highlight any additional costs such as parking or congestion charges upfront.

Can you provide same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?

We do our best to help with urgent or same-day requests in Wandsworth, especially for move-ins, viewings or last-minute events. Availability depends on our schedule for that particular day, but being a local company means we can often react quickly. If we cannot offer a same-day appointment, we will propose the earliest possible slot and explain how long the clean is likely to take. For time-sensitive work, we recommend calling us so we can check the schedule in real time and reserve a team for you.

Are your cleaners insured while working in my home?

Yes. All our domestic cleaning work is carried out under comprehensive public liability cover, and our equipment and materials are protected by goods in transit insurance while being transported. Our cleaners are fully insured and trained in safe working practices, including use of chemicals and manual handling. This means that in the unlikely event of accidental damage or an incident, you are properly protected. We are happy to provide proof of insurance on request and to explain exactly what is covered before you confirm your booking.

What exactly is included in a domestic cleaning visit?

A standard visit focuses on the areas most people need regularly: kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, hallways and bedrooms. Typical tasks include dusting, wiping surfaces, cleaning sinks, toilets, baths and showers, vacuuming carpets and mopping hard floors. We can also empty bins and carry out light tidying. Before your first clean we agree a priority list, so if time is limited we know which rooms or tasks matter most to you. Extra jobs such as inside ovens, fridges or cupboards can be added and priced separately when required.

How far in advance should I book my domestic clean?

For regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning in Wandsworth, it is best to book at least one to two weeks ahead so we can offer your preferred day and time. One-off or deep cleans, especially around month-end or holiday periods, can get busy, so a little more notice is helpful. That said, we do keep some flexibility for urgent requests and schedule changes. Once you are an existing client, adjusting times or adding extra visits is usually straightforward – just contact our office and we will do our best to accommodate you.

Do I need to be home during the cleaning?

No, you do not have to be at home while we clean, although you are welcome to be if you prefer. Many clients provide a key, use a key safe or arrange access with a concierge. We have clear procedures for key handling and access details, and these are kept securely. At the end of the visit, we ensure your property is locked as instructed. For the very first clean, some clients like to be present to walk through priorities; after that, most are comfortable leaving the team to work independently.
