To keep our pricing clear and fair, some items are excluded from a standard house clean. These can often be added on request:

Cleaning of biohazard, mould infestations or extreme hoarding
Garden, balcony or exterior cleaning

If you are unsure whether something is covered, we can confirm during your quotation or survey so there are no surprises on the day.

Local House Cleaning Expertise in Streatham

We are a Streatham-based company, not a distant call centre. Our cleaners work daily in Streatham, Streatham Hill, Streatham Common and the surrounding SW16 area, so we understand local property types, from Victorian terraces and maisonettes to modern flats and small businesses.

Because we are close by, we can offer flexible appointments, reliable arrival times and regular cleaners who get to know your home and preferences. Many of our clients come from repeat bookings and local recommendations.

Who Our House Cleaning Service Is For

Homeowners – keeping your home fresh, hygienic and easier to maintain long term.

Landlords – pre‑ and post‑tenancy cleaning to present properties at their best.
Businesses – light commercial and office cleaning in residential-style premises.
Students – one‑off or pre‑checkout cleans to help meet tenancy obligations.

Whether you need a one‑off deep clean or ongoing weekly or fortnightly cleaning, we tailor our service around your schedule and budget.

Our Step-by-Step House Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone, email or via our website and tell us about your property: size, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and what you would like cleaned. We ask a few practical questions about parking, access and preferred dates. Using this information, we provide a clear, no‑obligation quotation, usually the same day. For straightforward homes, this can often be done entirely remotely.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger properties, deep cleans or more complex requirements, we may recommend a virtual or onsite survey. This helps us understand the level of soiling, any delicate surfaces or items, and any particular priorities (for example heavy limescale or pet hair). Surveys are quick, friendly and free. They allow us to confirm timings, allocate the right number of cleaners and avoid any hidden costs later on.

3. Preparation Before the Clean

Once you approve the quote, we confirm your booking in writing with date, time and agreed checklist. Before we arrive, we may ask you to:

Clear floors of toys, clothes and personal items where possible
Secure valuables and sensitive documents
Ensure we have access, keys or entry codes

On the day, our trained cleaners arrive on time with professional products and equipment. We walk through your property with you where possible, confirm priorities, and then work systematically to complete the agreed tasks. At the end, we encourage you to check the work so we can address anything immediately.

Transparent Pricing for House Cleaning

We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Most house cleaning is charged either by the hour or at a fixed rate for an agreed checklist:

Regular weekly or fortnightly cleans – usually a set hourly rate per cleaner
One‑off and deep cleans – often priced as a fixed job once we know the scope
Optional extras – such as oven cleaning or inside cupboards – priced separately

Your quote will show exactly what is included, the expected duration and any optional add‑ons. There are no call‑out fees or surprise charges. If we think more time may be required than first expected, we discuss this with you before proceeding.

Why Professional Cleaning Beats DIY

Cleaning your own home is perfectly possible, but there are clear benefits to bringing in professional help:

We use commercial-grade products and equipment that clean more thoroughly and efficiently.
Our cleaners follow proven checklists to avoid missed areas and maintain consistency.
You save hours each week that can be used for work, family or rest.
Regular professional cleaning can extend the life of carpets, flooring and fixtures.
Our team knows how to handle common issues safely, from limescale to food spills and pet odours.

For many clients, the real value is peace of mind: a reliably clean home without having to think about it.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Inviting cleaners into your home requires trust. We take that responsibility seriously:

Fully insured – we hold comprehensive public liability cover for accidental damage or injury on site.
Goods in transit insurance – where items are moved or transported as part of related services, they are protected in our care.
Trained cleaning teams – all staff receive practical training in safe product use, manual handling and customer care.
Reference-checked staff – we verify identity and working status for your security.

We follow industry best practice for chemical safety, risk assessment and safe working methods, and we are always happy to discuss any concerns before you book.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We aim to clean thoroughly while looking after your home and the environment:

Use of colour-coded cloths and mops to prevent cross‑contamination between bathrooms and kitchens.
Protective pads and care when moving light furniture to avoid scratching floors.
Appropriate products for delicate surfaces such as natural stone, real wood and chrome.
Where possible, use of lower‑impact, eco‑label products without compromising hygiene.
Waste segregation and responsible disposal of used materials.

If you have allergies, pets or specific environmental preferences, let us know and we will adapt our approach wherever practical.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does house cleaning in Streatham cost?

Pricing depends on the size of your property, how often you’d like us to visit and the level of cleaning required. Regular weekly or fortnightly cleans are usually charged at a straightforward hourly rate, with a minimum booking time to cover travel and set‑up. One‑off or deep cleans are often quoted as a fixed price once we understand the condition of the property and any extras such as oven or internal window cleaning. We provide a clear, written quotation before any work is booked so you know exactly what to expect.

Do you offer same-day or urgent house cleaning?

We can often help with short-notice or urgent cleans in Streatham, especially mid‑week or outside peak moving periods. Same‑day availability depends on our existing schedule and the size of the job. For emergency or last‑minute requests, it’s best to call us so we can check our live diary and see what is realistic. Where we can’t fit you in immediately, we’ll offer the earliest possible slot and may suggest a focused clean on priority areas to make the most of the time available.

Are your cleaners insured while working in my home?

Yes. Our company is fully insured with public liability cover to protect against accidental damage or injury while we are working in your home. In addition, where items are moved or transported as part of associated services, they are protected by our goods in transit insurance. We also train our teams in careful handling of furniture, breakables and surfaces to minimise risk in the first place. If you have particularly high‑value or fragile items, tell us beforehand so we can agree the best way to protect them.

What exactly is included in a standard house clean?

A standard clean focuses on the essentials that most households want maintained regularly. This typically covers dusting of accessible surfaces, vacuuming throughout, mopping hard floors, thorough cleaning of bathrooms, and cleaning of kitchen worktops, hobs, sinks and cupboard fronts. We also empty bins and can make beds if linen is left out. Deep cleaning tasks such as oven interiors, inside cupboards, internal windows or heavy limescale removal are not included by default but can be added. Before we start, we agree a clear checklist with you so expectations are aligned.

How far in advance should I book a house clean?

For regular weekly or fortnightly slots, booking one to two weeks in advance usually gives the best choice of days and times. Deep cleans, end‑of‑tenancy and pre‑sale cleans can get busy at month‑end and around holidays, so more notice is helpful. That said, we always try to accommodate urgent requests where our schedule allows. Once you’re an existing client, we can usually adjust appointments within reason if your circumstances change, provided you give us the minimum notice set out in your booking confirmation.

Do I need to be home while you clean?

You’re welcome to be at home during the clean, but it’s not essential. Many clients prefer to give us a key or arrange key safe access so we can clean while they are at work. Any keys held by us are coded and stored securely. Before we work alone in your property, we’ll agree entry and locking‑up procedures in writing. On your first visit, being present for at least the start is useful so we can walk through your home, confirm priorities and answer any questions.
