Who Our House Cleaning Service Is For

Homeowners

Regular or one-off cleaning to keep your property in excellent condition, protect your investment and reduce wear on surfaces and finishes.

Renters

Routine house cleaning helps you maintain your tenancy in line with your agreement, avoid disputes and live in a consistently tidy, hygienic space.

Landlords & Letting Agents

We provide professional house cleaning between tenancies or mid-tenancy refreshes, helping protect your asset and present it well to prospective tenants.

For small businesses operating from residential premises or home offices, we offer discreet cleaning that keeps your working environment safe and presentable for visitors.

Shared accommodation can quickly become unmanageable. Regular cleaning visits keep communal areas hygienic and reduce conflict over chores.

Our Step-by-Step House Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact Flat Cleaning London by phone, email or our online form with details of your property: size, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and any specific requirements. We provide a clear, itemised quotation based on the information you give us, explaining what is included and any optional extras. There is no obligation, and we are happy to adjust the quote if your needs change.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For most standard house cleans, a virtual survey using photos or a short video call is sufficient. For larger or more complex properties, we may recommend an onsite visit to assess surfaces, access and any delicate items. This helps us allocate the right number of cleaners, estimate accurate cleaning times and discuss priorities so that our team can work efficiently from the first visit.

3. Preparation

Before the cleaning date, we confirm the schedule, agreed checklist and any entry instructions. On the day, our trained team arrives with professional equipment and products, including appropriate cloths, mops and vacuum cleaners. We walk through the property with you where possible, confirm priorities and then work systematically through each room, protecting surfaces and personal belongings as we go.

Transparent Pricing for House Cleaning in London

We price our house cleaning in London based on:

• Property size and layout
• Number of bathrooms and occupancy
• Frequency (weekly, fortnightly, monthly or one-off)
• Condition of the property and any specialist tasks

Rates are typically quoted on an hourly or fixed-fee basis, depending on the scope. All charges are explained before you confirm your booking, with no hidden extras. If we believe more time is needed than originally estimated, we discuss this with you in advance so you stay in full control of cost and outcome.

Why Choose Professional House Cleaning Instead of DIY

Many clients can clean themselves but choose professional support for consistency, time savings and safer results. Our teams use appropriate products and methods for different surfaces, reducing the risk of damage to flooring, worktops and bathroom fittings. Regular visits help to control dust, allergens and bacteria more effectively than occasional deep cleans.

Because cleaning is our full-time profession, we work methodically and efficiently, often achieving more in two hours than most people can manage in a morning. This allows you to focus on work, family and rest, knowing your home is being looked after by professional, reliable cleaners.

Insurance, Safety and Professional Standards

Flat Cleaning London operates with comprehensive cover and clear procedures to protect you and your property.

• Public liability cover for accidental damage or injury on site
• Goods in transit insurance for any equipment or materials we bring to your property
• Trained cleaning teams who follow health and safety guidance and COSHH requirements
• Method statements and risk assessments available for landlords, agents and business clients

Our staff are briefed on confidentiality, key-holding procedures and respectful conduct in occupied homes. We treat every property with the same care we would expect in our own homes.

Care, Protection and Sustainable Cleaning

We take a practical, responsible approach to both your belongings and the environment. Surfaces are tested where necessary before using stronger products, and we use colour-coded cloths and mops to avoid cross-contamination between kitchens, bathrooms and living areas.

Where possible, we use low-impact, biodegradable cleaning solutions that still deliver high hygiene standards. Microfibre systems help reduce chemical use while capturing fine dust and allergens. If you have specific allergies or sensitivities, we can adapt our methods or use client-supplied products. Protective pads are used under equipment when needed to prevent marking of floors and worktops.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does house cleaning in London cost?

Pricing depends mainly on the size of your home, the number of bathrooms and how often you would like us to visit. Smaller flats on a regular schedule typically cost less per visit than one-off deep cleans in larger houses. We tend to work to a minimum booking time to ensure a thorough job and can quote either hourly or at a fixed rate once we understand your requirements. All quotes are transparent, with clear details of what is included so you can budget confidently.

Can you provide same-day or urgent house cleaning?

Where our schedule allows, we can arrange same-day or short-notice cleaning, especially for smaller properties or specific areas such as kitchens and bathrooms. Availability is naturally better on weekdays and outside peak moving periods. If you need urgent help, contact us as early as possible with details of your property and preferred time window. We will confirm whether we can accommodate you, explain any surcharges for out-of-hours work and agree a realistic scope for what can be achieved in the time available.

Are your cleaners insured and vetted?

Yes. Flat Cleaning London is fully insured with public liability cover, and we carry goods in transit insurance for our equipment and materials. All cleaners are reference-checked and trained before working independently. We brief our teams on handling personal belongings, locking up and key-holding, and we can provide proof of insurance for landlords, letting agents or business clients on request. Our aim is to give you complete peace of mind while we are in your home, whether you are present or we are cleaning while you are out.

What exactly is included in a house cleaning visit?

A standard visit covers dusting and wiping of reachable surfaces, vacuuming and mopping of floors, thorough cleaning of bathrooms and toilets, and general kitchen cleaning including worktops, cupboard fronts and appliance exteriors. We also empty household bins and can make beds or focus on particular rooms if you prefer. Deep cleaning tasks such as internal ovens, carpet shampooing or external windows are not included as standard but can usually be added. Before your first visit, we agree a checklist so you know precisely what to expect each time.

How far in advance should I book?

For regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning, a few days’ notice is usually sufficient, although popular slots do book up in advance. For larger one-off cleans, we recommend at least one to two weeks’ notice, especially around the end and beginning of the month when there are many moves. That said, we will always try to help with shorter notice if our schedule allows. Once your regular slot is agreed, it is reserved for you, and we confirm any changes to dates or times well ahead of your appointment.
