Who Our House Cleaning Service Is For

Homeowners

For busy homeowners, we provide regular or ad-hoc cleaning to keep on top of dust, limescale and everyday build-up. You get a consistent team where possible, so you always know who is in your home and how they work.

Renters

If you are renting, our detailed cleaning helps you present the property at its best for inspections or when you are moving out. We understand inventory requirements and focus on key areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, carpets and walls where allowed.

Landlords & Letting Agents

We support landlords and agents with professional pre-tenancy and end-of-tenancy cleaning. Our work aims to meet or exceed common tenancy agreement standards, reducing disputes and void periods.

Businesses

For small offices, treatment rooms and home-based businesses, we offer discreet, reliable cleaning to maintain a hygienic and presentable environment for staff and clients.

Students & Shared Houses

Shared houses near Kingston University often need periodic deep cleaning. We help with kitchen and bathroom hygiene, communal spaces and flooring so your shared home is easier to keep on top of during term time.

What Is Included in Our House Cleaning

Every clean is tailored, but a typical visit may include:

• Dusting of surfaces, skirting boards, sills and furniture
• Vacuuming of carpets, rugs and soft furnishings as needed
• Mopping of hard floors
• Kitchen cleaning: worktops, cupboard exteriors, hobs, splashbacks, sinks
• Bathroom cleaning: toilets, basins, baths, showers, tiles and fittings
• Internal glass and mirrors
• Emptying bins and light tidying of visible areas

For deeper cleans, we can also include:

• Inside kitchen cupboards, fridge and oven (on request)
• Limescale removal where possible
• Detailed descaling and polishing of taps and fittings
• Professional carpet and upholstery cleaning via our specialist equipment

What Is Not Included

To keep our service safe and practical, some items are normally excluded:

• Deep mould remediation or hazardous waste removal
• Gardening, exterior pressure washing or building work clean-up beyond light dust
• Heavy decluttering, rubbish removal or moving large items of furniture

If you are unsure whether something is covered, we will clarify this during the quote or survey so expectations are clear from the outset.

Our House Cleaning Process: Step by Step

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone, email or online form with brief details of your property, the number of rooms and the level of cleaning required. We ask a few practical questions about access, parking and any specific concerns (for example pets, allergies or delicate surfaces). Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation estimate.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For standard regular cleaning, a short phone or video call is often enough. For larger properties, move-in/move-out cleans or where carpets and upholstery are involved, we may recommend a brief onsite survey. This allows us to assess the condition of surfaces, identify priorities, and confirm timings and pricing accurately. Virtual surveys via video call are available where convenient.

3. Preparation

Before the clean, we confirm your booking, arrival window and any access arrangements. On the day, our trained team arrives with all necessary equipment and products. We walk through the property with you (where possible) to reconfirm priorities. We then protect any sensitive areas, check for pre-existing damage and start work systematically room by room. At the end, we invite you to inspect the work so we can address any small details while we are still on site.

Transparent Pricing

We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Our charges are usually based on:

• Property size (number of bedrooms and bathrooms)
• Condition and level of soiling
• Service type (regular maintenance or one-off deep clean)
• Any additional services such as oven or carpet cleaning

Regular weekly or fortnightly visits are typically priced at a lower rate per visit than one-off cleans, reflecting ongoing maintenance rather than intensive work. All prices are confirmed in writing before we start, and there are no hidden extras for standard equipment or products.

Why Choose Professional Cleaning Over DIY?

While many people keep on top of light cleaning themselves, a professional service offers several advantages:

• Consistent results from trained cleaners using proven methods
• Industrial-grade equipment for carpets and hard floors where requested
• Correct products for different surfaces, reducing the risk of damage
• Time saved, allowing you to focus on work, family or rest
• Independent, third-party standard of cleanliness for tenancies and inspections

DIY cleaning can be effective day to day, but for deep cleans or tenancy-related work, having documented, professional cleaning can make a real difference.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your property is treated with care and respect at all times. We are fully insured, including:

• Goods in transit insurance for any equipment and materials we bring to your property
• Public liability cover for your peace of mind while we are working on-site

Our cleaning teams are trained in safe working practices, correct chemical use and the protection of different surfaces and fabrics. We maintain clear procedures for key holding, alarms and access so your home remains secure.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We aim to clean thoroughly while looking after both your home and the wider environment. Where possible, we use low-odour, eco-conscious products that are effective yet gentle on surfaces. We:

• Use colour-coded cloths and mops to avoid cross-contamination
• Protect delicate surfaces and test specialist products in discreet areas first
• Use measured dosing to reduce waste and chemical overuse
• Maintain and regularly service our equipment for efficient operation

If you have particular sensitivities or preferences, such as fragrance-free products, we can discuss suitable options during the booking process.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does house cleaning in Kingston upon Thames cost?

Costs vary depending on property size, condition and how often you would like us to visit. A small flat on a regular schedule will usually cost less per visit than a one-off deep clean of a large family home. We normally quote per job rather than by the hour, so you know exactly what you are paying for in advance. After a brief discussion, and where needed a survey, we provide a clear written quote with no hidden extras.

Can you provide same-day or urgent house cleaning?

Same-day or next-day appointments are sometimes possible, especially outside of peak times such as weekends and month-end. Urgent cleans, for example before a check-out inspection or last-minute viewing, are best booked by phone so we can confirm availability immediately. While we cannot guarantee emergency slots, we will always do our best to accommodate you or suggest the earliest alternative time that works for both you and our team.

Are you insured while cleaning my home?

Yes. We are fully insured for the work we carry out in your home. This includes public liability cover in the unlikely event of accidental damage, as well as goods in transit insurance for the equipment and materials we bring. Our professional cleaners are also trained in safe handling of products and equipment to minimise any risk. We are happy to provide details of our cover on request so you know exactly how you are protected.

What is included in a standard house cleaning visit?

A standard visit covers the main living areas, bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom. We dust, vacuum and mop, clean sanitaryware, wipe worktops and accessible surfaces, and tidy visible areas. Bins are emptied and internal glass and mirrors are cleaned as needed. Deep cleaning tasks such as inside ovens, fridges, cupboards or carpets are not automatically included but can be easily added to your booking. Before work starts, we confirm exactly what is covered so there are no surprises.

How far in advance should I book?

For regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks ahead to secure your preferred day and time. For one-off or deep cleans, especially around the end of the month or during peak moving periods, a little more notice is helpful. That said, we will always try to fit you in as soon as our schedule allows. If you have fixed dates, such as a move-out deadline, please let us know when you first enquire.

Do I need to be at home while you clean?

You are welcome to be at home, but it is not essential. Many clients provide keys or access codes, and we follow clear key-holding and security procedures. At the first visit, a brief walk-through is useful so we understand your priorities and any areas to avoid. After that, we work independently and lock up when we leave. If you prefer to be present initially and then hand over keys later, we can agree a process that feels comfortable for you.
