Whether you live alone, share with others, or manage multiple properties, we can build a cleaning plan that works around you.

What Is Not Included as Standard

To keep pricing fair and predictable, some tasks are not included in our standard domestic cleaning. These can sometimes be added as pre-booked extras:

• Cleaning of external areas, gardens or balconies
• Deep oven degreasing (beyond standard wipe-down)

We are always happy to discuss specific requests in advance so we can allocate the right time, products and team.

Our Local Expertise in Kentish Town

Being based in Kentish Town means we know the area, the housing stock and the expectations of local residents. From period conversions and council estates to new-build flats and family houses, we understand the quirks of London homes – narrow staircases, limited storage, high-traffic hallways and shared communal areas.

Our cleaners are familiar with local landlords’ and agents’ standards, especially for end of tenancy and inspection cleans. We schedule efficiently around Kentish Town and neighbouring areas, which helps us arrive on time and maintain consistent service.

How Our Domestic Cleaning Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

You can contact us by phone, email or via our online form. We’ll ask a few straightforward questions about your property type, number of rooms, current condition and your priorities. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote and suggest a suitable frequency and duration for each visit.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For most domestic cleans, a short virtual survey (photos or video call) is enough. For larger homes or more complex requirements, we may arrange a brief onsite visit. This helps us confirm the time needed, note any delicate surfaces or special instructions, and make sure there are no surprises on the day.

3. Preparation & First Clean

Before your first clean, we confirm your booking, arrival window and access arrangements (keys, concierge, neighbours, etc.). On the day, our professional, trained cleaners arrive with the agreed equipment and products, carry out the clean to your checklist, and report any issues. After the first visit we can adjust the schedule or tasks if needed.

Transparent Pricing Explained

We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing with no hidden extras. Our domestic cleaning is usually charged by the hour, with a minimum booking time that reflects travel and setup.

Your price depends on:

• Size of property and number of rooms
• Current condition (standard maintenance vs deep clean)
• Frequency of visits (weekly, fortnightly, monthly or one-off)
• Any added services (oven, fridge, internal windows, etc.)

We’ll always confirm the hourly rate and estimated time in writing before you commit. For regular clients, we aim to keep the same cleaner and consistent time slot wherever possible.

Why Use Professional Cleaners Instead of DIY?

Cleaning your own home is possible, but many of our clients decide their time is better spent elsewhere. Professional domestic cleaning offers several practical benefits:

• Consistent standards – trained cleaners follow a systematic approach so nothing is overlooked.
• Time savings – free up evenings and weekends for family, work or rest.
• Better equipment and products – we bring appropriate materials for different surfaces.
• Reduced stress – a regularly maintained home is easier to keep tidy between visits.
• Accountability – if something is missed, we will put it right.

Many clients tell us that having a professional clean every week or fortnight makes it much easier to stay organised and comfortable at home.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your home and belongings are important, so we operate to clear, professional standards:

• Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to your property while we are working.
• Goods in transit insurance – covers cleaning equipment and materials we bring to your home.
• Trained cleaning teams – all cleaners are trained in safe product use, correct dilution, and appropriate methods for different surfaces.
• Vetting and references – we carry out checks and supervision to maintain trust and reliability.

We follow safe working practices, including risk awareness in homes with children, pets or elderly residents, and we are happy to work around your specific needs.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

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

• Surface protection – we use appropriate cloths and non-scratch pads on delicate surfaces.
• Product choice – wherever possible, we select low-odour, eco-conscious products that are effective but gentle.
• Waste minimisation – we avoid unnecessary disposable materials and use reusable microfibre cloths.
• Respect for your belongings – ornaments, pictures and personal items are handled carefully and only moved when needed.

If you have allergies, sensitivities or strong preferences about cleaning products, let us know and we will adapt our approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does domestic cleaning in Kentish Town cost?

Pricing depends mainly on the size of your property, its current condition and how often you would like us to attend. We usually charge an hourly rate with a sensible minimum booking time, and we’ll recommend the number of hours needed to achieve the standard you expect. After a short discussion or survey, we provide a clear written quote with no hidden extras. Regular clients often benefit from slightly better rates than one-off bookings, as we can plan our schedule more efficiently.

Can you provide same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?

Same-day or urgent cleaning is sometimes possible, particularly on weekdays, but it depends on our schedule in Kentish Town on that day. If you need a last-minute clean before guests, an inspection or a move-out, contact us as early as you can and we’ll let you know our availability. Where we can’t offer a full deep clean at short notice, we may suggest a focused clean targeting kitchens, bathrooms and main living areas to make the most difference in the time available.

Are your cleaners insured while working in my home?

Yes. We hold public liability cover to protect against accidental damage to your property while we are working. We also maintain goods in transit insurance for our equipment and materials. In addition, our cleaners are trained to work carefully around personal belongings, electronics and delicate surfaces. If anything does go wrong, we will always deal with it promptly and transparently, in line with our insurance and company policies, to give you peace of mind.

What is included in a standard domestic cleaning visit?

A standard visit covers the main living areas, bedrooms, kitchen and bathrooms. We generally dust accessible surfaces, vacuum carpets and rugs, mop hard floors, clean and disinfect bathroom fixtures, wipe kitchen worktops and cupboard fronts, and clean the hob, sink and external appliance fronts. Light tidying and emptying of household bins is also included. Tasks such as oven deep cleaning, inside fridges, internal windows or cleaning behind heavy furniture are not included as standard but can be added if requested in advance.

How far in advance should I book?

For regular weekly or fortnightly domestic cleaning, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance so we can offer you your preferred day and time. For one-off or deep cleans, especially around month-end or moving periods, more notice is helpful as these dates are often busier. That said, we will always try to accommodate shorter notice where our schedule allows. Once you are a regular client, your slot is reserved for you on an ongoing basis, providing consistency and reliability.

Do I need to be at home while you clean?

No, you do not have to be at home during the clean, although you are welcome to be if you prefer. Many clients provide a spare key, key safe code or arrange access via a concierge so we can attend while they are at work. We operate clear key-holding procedures to keep your property secure. At the first visit, you may wish to walk through your home with the cleaner to point out any priorities or delicate items; after that, we can usually manage independently.
