Our Step-by-Step House Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact us by phone, email or through our online form with details of your property in Streatham – type of property, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and the kind of cleaning you need. We’ll ask a few questions to understand your expectations and how often you’d like us to visit. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, explaining what’s included and any optional extras. There are no hidden charges, and we’ll always be upfront about how long the clean is likely to take.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most regular house cleaning, a short virtual survey by phone or video call is enough. For larger homes, properties in poor condition, or specialist work such as end of tenancy cleaning, we may arrange a brief onsite visit in Streatham. This helps us assess access, parking, flooring types and any delicate items. The survey allows us to allocate the right number of cleaners, bring suitable equipment and give you a realistic timescale so everything runs smoothly on the day.
3. Preparation and Cleaning Day
Before our cleaners arrive, we ask that you put away very valuable or breakable items where possible and secure any pets. On the day, our trained team arrives within the agreed time window, in uniform, with all necessary products and equipment. We walk through the property with you (if you’re home), confirm priorities and then work systematically room by room. Once finished, we invite you to check the work, and we’ll happily reclean any missed areas there and then.
Transparent Pricing for House Cleaning
We keep our pricing straightforward and transparent. Most house cleaning in Streatham is charged by the hour, with a minimum booking to ensure we have enough time to do a proper job. The rate depends on:
- Size and condition of the property
- Frequency of cleaning (weekly, fortnightly, monthly or one-off)
- Any add-on services such as deep cleaning or carpet cleaning
Regular clients usually pay a lower hourly rate than one-off cleans, as the property is easier to maintain. We’ll always confirm the estimated time and total cost before booking you in, so you know exactly what to expect. There is no charge for quotes or basic surveys.
Why Professional Cleaning Beats DIY
Many people try to keep on top of everything themselves, but professional house cleaning offers several advantages. Our professional cleaners are trained to work systematically, using the right products for each surface to avoid damage and get better results in less time. We know the common issues in London homes – from limescale buildup to traffic marks on carpets – and we tackle them efficiently. Regular professional cleaning helps protect fixtures, fittings and flooring, which can save you money in the long run, particularly if you’re renting or planning to sell.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a local Streatham company, we take responsibility for our work and your peace of mind.
- Public liability cover – protects you if accidental damage or injury occurs during our visit.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers your items when we transport specialist cleaning equipment through or between properties.
- Trained cleaning teams – all staff are vetted, trained and supervised, with clear cleaning checklists and safe working practices.
We respect your home as if it were our own. Our cleaners follow established health and safety guidelines, use products responsibly and never rush work that requires extra care.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We understand that inviting cleaners into your home is a matter of trust. Our team uses floor protectors and takes care when moving light furniture, avoiding scuffs and damage. Where suitable, we can use eco-friendlier products with lower fragrance and fewer harsh chemicals, which is particularly helpful for homes with children, pets or allergies. We avoid unnecessary waste, reuse cloths and pads where hygienic and recycle packaging from our supplies. Our aim is to keep your Streatham home clean while minimising our impact on the environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does house cleaning in Streatham cost?
The cost depends on the size of your property, its current condition and how often you’d like us to clean. We normally work on an hourly rate with a minimum booking to ensure we can do a thorough job. Regular weekly and fortnightly cleans are usually cheaper per hour than one-off visits, as your home is easier to maintain. After a short discussion or survey, we’ll give you a clear price estimate and suggested cleaning time so you know exactly what you’ll be paying before you book.
Can you offer same-day or urgent house cleaning?
Where possible, yes. Because we’re a local Streatham team, we can sometimes provide same-day or next-day cleaning for urgent situations such as last-minute viewings, landlord inspections or guests arriving. Availability will depend on our existing schedule and the size of the job. If we can’t fit you in on the same day, we’ll offer the earliest possible slot and suggest a priority list so we focus on the most important areas first. It’s always best to call us as early as you can to discuss your options.
Are you insured while cleaning my home?
Yes, we are fully insured to work in homes across Streatham. We hold public liability insurance to protect you in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury during our visit. In addition, we have goods in transit insurance for equipment and items we move as part of the cleaning process. Our cleaners are trained to handle your belongings carefully, but knowing there is proper insurance in place offers extra reassurance. We’re happy to confirm details of our cover or provide evidence on request before you go ahead and book.
What’s included in a standard house cleaning service?
A standard clean focuses on keeping your home hygienic and tidy. That includes dusting, vacuuming and mopping floors, wiping surfaces, cleaning bathrooms and toilets, and general kitchen cleaning such as worktops, hob, sink and appliance fronts. We also empty bins and give bedrooms and living areas a general tidy. Deep tasks like oven cleaning, fridge interiors and carpet steam cleaning are not part of a standard visit but can be added if needed. Before we start, we’ll agree a checklist so you understand exactly what is and isn’t included for your property.
How far in advance should I book?
For regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you have specific days or times in mind. This allows us to reserve a regular slot and assign a consistent cleaner where possible. For one-off or deep cleans, more notice is always helpful, though we do our best to accommodate shorter timeframes. During busy periods, such as around bank holidays and the end of tenancy peaks, slots can fill quickly, so contacting us early gives you the widest choice of appointments.
