How Our Domestic Cleaning Process Works
We keep things simple and organised so you know exactly what will happen and when.
1. Enquiry & quote
You contact us by phone, email or our online form, telling us about your property size, number of rooms and what you would like done. We ask a few practical questions and provide a clear, no-obligation quote, either for a one-off clean or regular scheduled visits. Pricing is usually based on the time required and any specialist tasks requested.
2. Survey – virtual or onsite
For most routine domestic cleans, a brief virtual survey (photos or video call) is enough. For larger properties, combined services (such as deep cleaning and carpets) or particularly detailed work, we may visit in person at a convenient time. This helps us confirm timings, access, parking and any areas that need extra attention.
3. Preparation and cleaning day
Before we arrive, we ask that you:
- Put away important documents, cash and valuables
- Clear floors of toys, clothes and personal items where possible
- Advise us of any delicate or high-value items we should avoid
On the day, our trained, professional cleaners arrive on time with all necessary equipment and products, unless you prefer us to use your own. We work systematically through your home, following an agreed checklist and any notes you have provided. At the end we can walk through with you (where you are present) to ensure you are satisfied.
Transparent Pricing for Domestic Cleaning
Our pricing is straightforward and explained in advance. Domestic cleaning is usually charged:
- By the hour for regular weekly or fortnightly visits
- As a fixed price for one-off deep cleans, based on property size and condition
Factors that affect the cost include:
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Frequency of cleaning (regular visits cost less per visit than one-offs)
- Any add-on services such as carpets, upholstery or oven cleaning
- Parking arrangements and access
We do not add hidden fees. You will receive a clear breakdown before you book, and we are always happy to explain how the price has been calculated.
Why Professional Domestic Cleaning Beats DIY
Many clients come to us after trying to keep on top of everything themselves. Professional cleaning offers several advantages over DIY:
- Time saving – you regain hours every week for work, family or rest.
- Consistent standards – trained cleaners follow a set routine so nothing important is missed.
- Better equipment and products – we use commercial-grade vacuums and cleaning solutions suited to different surfaces.
- Health benefits – deeper removal of dust, allergens and bacteria than a quick tidy.
- Reduced stress – you are not constantly catching up on chores.
Because we do this every day, we work efficiently and methodically, often achieving more in two hours than most people can manage in an afternoon.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Inviting someone into your home is a matter of trust. We take that seriously.
- Fully insured – we hold robust public liability cover to protect against accidental damage or injury while we are working in your property.
- Goods in transit insurance – where we transport equipment or your soft furnishings (for example for off-site rug or upholstery cleaning), they are protected under appropriate goods in transit insurance.
- Trained cleaning teams – our staff are trained in safe product use, correct techniques and how to care for different surfaces and fabrics.
- Professional conduct – uniforms where appropriate, clear identification and respectful behaviour in your home at all times.
We follow industry best practice, including risk assessments for larger or more complex jobs, and we are happy to provide copies of our insurance documents on request.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Looking after your home properly means more than just making it look clean for the day.
- Surface protection – we match products to surfaces to avoid dulling, scratching or staining, particularly on wood, natural stone and delicate fabrics.
- Equipment care – vacuum filters and tools are maintained and cleaned regularly to prevent cross-contamination between homes.
- Eco-conscious options – where appropriate, we can use lower-impact cleaning solutions and microfibre methods to reduce chemical use, while still achieving a hygienic result.
- Waste reduction – we avoid unnecessary disposables and use refillable containers where possible.
Our aim is to help you maintain a home that is not only visibly clean but also healthier and more comfortable to live in over the long term.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does domestic cleaning in Greenwich cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of your property, how often you would like us to visit, and whether you need any specialist add-ons such as carpet or oven cleaning. Regular weekly or fortnightly cleans are usually priced by the hour, with a minimum booking time to make the visit worthwhile. One-off deep cleans are quoted as a fixed price based on an estimate of the time required. We always provide a clear, written quote before you commit, so you know exactly what to expect.
Can you provide same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?
Where our schedule allows, we do our best to accommodate urgent or short-notice bookings, such as pre-guest or post-event cleans. Same-day availability cannot be guaranteed, especially during busy periods, but we will always be honest about what we can realistically achieve and when. If we cannot attend the same day, we will usually be able to offer the earliest available slot and may suggest a focused clean on key areas like kitchen, bathrooms and living spaces to fit within your timeframe.
Are your cleaners and my belongings properly insured?
Yes. Our company holds comprehensive public liability insurance that covers accidental damage or injury while we are working in your home. Where we transport items such as rugs or removable covers for specialist cleaning, they are protected under suitable goods in transit insurance. Our professional cleaners are trained to work carefully, but insurance is there for peace of mind. We encourage clients to store valuables and especially fragile items safely, and we are happy to avoid particular areas or objects if you prefer.
What exactly is included in a domestic cleaning visit?
A standard visit covers routine housework tasks such as dusting, wiping accessible surfaces, vacuuming carpets, mopping hard floors, and cleaning bathrooms and kitchens. We focus on hygiene and the areas you use most day to day. Before we start, we agree a checklist with you, so you know which rooms and tasks are covered. More intensive work, like internal oven cleaning, inside kitchen cupboards, or carpet shampooing, is not included as standard but can often be added as an extra service, quoted separately.
How far in advance do I need to book?
For regular weekly or fortnightly domestic cleaning slots in Greenwich, it is sensible to book at least one to two weeks in advance, particularly if you need a specific day or time. One-off deep cleans or combined services (for example, cleaning plus carpets) may require a little more notice so we can plan staff and equipment. That said, we will always check our current schedule for earlier gaps and cancellations. The more flexible you can be on timing, the easier it is for us to fit you in promptly.
Do I need to be at home while you clean?
You are welcome to be present, but it is not essential. Many clients prefer to provide access arrangements, such as a key safe or meeting us for the first visit and then entrusting a key thereafter. All keys are coded and stored securely, and access instructions are treated confidentially. If you are home, we work around you as best we can; if you are out, we simply follow the agreed checklist and secure the property when we leave. We will accommodate whichever arrangement makes you most comfortable.
