Our role is simple: to keep your home hygienic, fresh and under control, so you can focus on everything else.

What Our Domestic Cleaning Service Includes

Our domestic cleaning is a regular or one-off service tailored to your home and preferences. We use professional methods and equipment to give a deeper, more consistent clean than most people can manage themselves.

Typical domestic cleaning tasks

• Dusting and wiping of surfaces, skirting boards, doors and switches
• Vacuuming of carpets, rugs and soft flooring
• Mopping of hard floors (wood, laminate, vinyl, tiles)
• Bathroom cleaning – toilets, sinks, taps, showers, baths and tiles
• Kitchen cleaning – worktops, cupboard fronts, hobs, splashbacks and sinks
• Emptying bins and light tidying
• Spot cleaning of doors, frames and light marks where agreed

Service variations available

We can add the following service variations to your domestic clean on a regular or occasional basis:

• Deep cleaning – tops of cupboards, behind appliances, descaling, detailed bathroom and kitchen work
• Carpet and rug cleaning – specialist hot water extraction for a hygienic, refreshed pile
• Upholstery cleaning – sofas, armchairs and mattresses
• Oven cleaning – thorough clean of the interior, racks and door glass

Who Our Domestic Cleaning Service Is For

• Homeowners – ideal for busy families and professionals who want a consistently clean home without the hassle.
• Renters – regular cleaning to protect deposits and keep properties in excellent condition.
• Landlords – between-tenancy freshen ups or scheduled cleaning for HMOs and multi-lets.
• Businesses – domestic-style cleaning for small offices, studios and home-based workspaces.

Local Domestic Cleaning Expertise in London

We work across London and understand the mix of properties in the city – from compact studios and new-build flats to period terraces and large family homes. We are used to:

Every home is different, so we carry out a brief assessment before starting to make sure the cleaning plan suits your property, flooring and furnishings.

How Our Domestic Cleaning Process Works

1. 1. Enquiry & quote

   You contact us with details of your property, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and how often you would like cleaning. We ask a few questions about flooring types, pets and any priorities. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation covering the scope of work, frequency and estimated time needed.

2. 2. Survey – virtual or onsite

   For most domestic cleaning in London, a short virtual survey via photos or video call is sufficient. For larger or more complex homes, we can arrange an onsite visit. This allows us to confirm the condition of the property, note any delicate items or access issues, and finalise the cleaning plan so there are no surprises on the day.

3. 3. Preparation and first clean

   We agree a start date and key arrangements. On the first visit, our trained cleaners arrive on time with the agreed products and equipment (or use your own if you prefer). We carry out a thorough initial clean to bring the property up to a strong standard, then maintain it with regular visits. Any adjustments are discussed and built into your ongoing plan.

Transparent Pricing for Domestic Cleaning

We price domestic cleaning fairly and clearly, based on:

• Property size and layout
• Number of bathrooms and overall condition
• Frequency of cleaning (weekly, fortnightly, monthly or one-off)
• Any additional services such as deep cleaning or carpet cleaning

Most regular domestic cleaning is charged by the hour, with a minimum booking to ensure we can work effectively. For one-off or deep cleans we may offer a fixed price once we understand the scope. All quotes are itemised, so you can see exactly what is included. There are no hidden extras – any changes in cost are always agreed in advance.

Why Professional Domestic Cleaning Beats DIY

Cleaning your own home is possible, but professional cleaning offers clear advantages:

• Professional techniques for bathrooms, kitchens and high-traffic areas give a deeper, longer-lasting finish.
• We use commercial-grade equipment and appropriate products for each surface, reducing wear and tear.
• Our structured checklists mean nothing important is missed, even on busy days.
• You gain back hours every week that would otherwise be spent cleaning.
• Regular professional maintenance helps protect carpets, flooring and fixtures, which can save money over time.

Above all, a properly maintained home feels calmer, more hygienic and easier to live in.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your home and possessions are important, and we treat them that way. Hire Carpet Cleaners is:

• Fully insured for domestic cleaning work in London
• Covered by public liability insurance for your protection
• Supported by goods in transit insurance for equipment and materials we bring to and from your property
• Staffed by trained, experienced cleaners who follow clear procedures

Our teams are briefed on safe product use, correct dilution, colour-coding of cloths and mops, and secure handling of keys and alarm systems. We carry out regular quality checks and welcome feedback so we can keep standards consistently high.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We work carefully to protect your home while achieving an excellent clean:

• Use of colour-coded cloths and mops to avoid cross-contamination between bathrooms and kitchens
• Testing of products on a small, discreet area where surfaces may be delicate
• Protective pads or covers used where needed around furniture and floors
• Attention to ventilation when using stronger cleaning agents

Where possible, we select low-odour, low-impact products that are effective yet considerate to the environment and indoor air quality. If you prefer specific products or eco-only options, we can usually accommodate this as part of your cleaning plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does domestic cleaning in London cost?

Pricing depends mainly on property size, condition and how often you would like us to clean. Smaller flats with regular weekly visits typically cost less per visit than larger homes or infrequent one-off cleans. We usually charge by the hour for regular domestic cleaning, with a minimum booking time to ensure we can complete a proper job. After a short discussion or survey, we will give you a clear, written quote so you know exactly what to expect before you commit.

Can you provide same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?

We do our best to accommodate urgent or same-day domestic cleaning in London, especially for situations such as a last-minute visit, an inspection, or an unexpected spill. Availability depends on existing schedules and the size of your property, but we will always be honest about what we can realistically achieve. In some cases, we may suggest a shorter urgent visit focused on key areas, followed by a fuller clean on another day. It is always worth calling to check our latest availability.

Are you insured while working in my home?

Yes. We are fully insured to carry out domestic cleaning in London. Our cover includes public liability insurance for your peace of mind in case of accidental damage, as well as goods in transit insurance for any equipment or materials we bring to your home. Our cleaners are also carefully trained in safe working practices and respectful handling of your possessions. Full details of our insurance can be provided on request, and we are happy to answer any specific questions you may have.

What exactly is included in a domestic cleaning visit?

A standard domestic visit usually covers dusting, vacuuming, mopping hard floors, cleaning bathrooms and toilets, wiping kitchen surfaces and cupboard fronts, and general tidying such as emptying bins. We can also include internal windows, skirting boards and light switches on a rotational basis. During the initial booking, we will agree a checklist tailored to your home and priorities, so time is spent on the areas that matter most to you. Any extra tasks, such as oven or carpet cleaning, can be scheduled as separate services.

How far in advance should I book?

For regular weekly or fortnightly domestic cleaning, it is best to book at least one to two weeks ahead so we can reserve a slot that suits your preferred days and times. One-off or deep cleans often require a little more notice, especially during busy periods such as spring or pre-Christmas. That said, we will always check our schedule for gaps and cancellations if you need something sooner. Once your regular slot is confirmed, it remains reserved for you unless we mutually agree a change.

Do I need to be at home while you clean?

No, you do not have to be at home during the clean if you would prefer not to be. Many clients are at work while we clean, and we use securely managed keys or access codes as agreed in advance. We operate strict key control procedures and only authorised staff have access. If you choose to be at home, we are equally happy to work around you. At the first visit, we can walk through the property together to confirm priorities and any areas that require particular care.
