Local London Expertise
Working across London every day means we understand the practical realities of cleaning in the capital – from compact flats and period townhouses to shared student houses and rental blocks. Our cleaning teams plan for parking, access and building rules in advance, so you experience a smooth, punctual service.
All of our cleaners are trained to work safely in busy urban homes, handling pets, children, work‑from‑home setups and multi‑occupancy properties with care and respect.
What Is Excluded from Standard House Cleaning?
To keep pricing fair and predictable, some tasks sit outside our standard service but can often be added by arrangement.

- External window cleaning above ground floor
- Carpet steam cleaning and upholstery shampooing
- Professional oven cleaning (full disassembly and deep degrease)
- Wall washing or mould remediation
- High‑level cleaning requiring ladders or access equipment

If you are unsure whether a task is included, mention it during your enquiry and we will confirm, suggest alternatives or provide a separate quotation where appropriate.
Our Step‑by‑Step House Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone, email or our online form with a brief description of your property: size, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, any particular issues, and whether you need one‑off or regular cleaning. We ask a few focused questions, then provide a clear, itemised quotation with no hidden charges. For regular cleaning, we agree a day, time and key‑holding or access arrangements that suit you.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most standard homes we carry out a quick virtual survey using photos or a short video call. This lets us gauge the current condition of the property and estimate the time required accurately. For larger homes or properties that need extensive deep cleaning, we may arrange a brief onsite visit. This survey stage protects you from surprise extras and ensures we send the right number of cleaners and equipment on the day.
3. Preparation Before Arrival
We confirm your booking, arrival window and agreed tasks in writing. Our professional cleaners arrive with appropriate products and equipment, or we can use your materials if preferred. You simply tidy away important documents, valuables and any personal items you do not want handled. On completion, we invite you to walk through the property (or send photos for remote landlords) to ensure everything meets your expectations.
Transparent House Cleaning Pricing
We price our London house cleaning in a straightforward way, based on:
- Property size – number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Type of service – regular weekly/fortnightly or one‑off deep clean
- Current condition – light maintenance clean or heavy build‑up
- Any add‑ons requested – inside oven, inside fridge, interior windows, etc.
Regular clients benefit from a lower hourly rate as we maintain the property rather than restore it each time. All quotes are given in advance and confirmed in writing. There are no weekend surcharges for pre‑agreed bookings, and we will always advise you beforehand if extra time is likely to be required for neglected areas.
Why Professional House Cleaning Beats DIY
Cleaning your own home is possible, but there are several reasons many London clients choose a professional service:
- We follow proven systems so no areas are overlooked, even when you are busy or tired.
- Trained cleaners understand product compatibility, protecting delicate surfaces and finishes.
- Professional‑grade tools and solutions achieve better results on limescale, grease and embedded dust.
- Delegating regular cleaning frees your time for work, family and rest.
- For landlords and renters, a professionally cleaned property helps support check‑in and check‑out reports.
In many cases, a scheduled professional clean works out more cost‑effective than buying a range of products and spending hours every week doing it yourself.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As an established London cleaning company, we take our responsibilities seriously. Tenancy Cleaning London carries comprehensive public liability cover, giving you confidence that your property is protected while we work. Where we transport equipment or specialist machinery, it is covered by appropriate goods in transit insurance.
Our cleaning teams are carefully vetted, reference‑checked and trained in safe working practices, product use and respect for client privacy. We follow clear protocols for key‑holding, alarm systems and access to shared buildings. Every team works to consistent checklists and quality standards, with supervision and spot checks carried out by senior staff.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every home as if it were our own. Surfaces are cleaned using compatible products to avoid damage to stone, wood, lacquer or specialist finishes. Soft furnishings are carefully vacuumed rather than aggressively scrubbed unless otherwise agreed. Where possible, we favour low‑odour, eco‑conscious products that are effective yet gentle, and we minimise water and energy waste by working efficiently.
Used materials and empty product containers are disposed of responsibly. If you have allergies, asthma, pets or specific environmental preferences, tell us during the quotation stage and we will adapt our approach accordingly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does house cleaning in London cost?
Pricing depends mainly on property size, condition and whether you choose a regular or one‑off clean. For typical London homes, we usually charge an hourly rate with a minimum booking time, agreed in advance. Larger or heavily soiled properties may be quoted at a fixed price after a short virtual or onsite survey. Regular weekly or fortnightly customers benefit from lower rates as maintenance cleaning is quicker than initial deep cleaning. All costs are clearly itemised before you book, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Can you provide same‑day or urgent house cleaning?
Same‑day or next‑day house cleaning is often possible, especially on weekdays, but it depends on our existing schedule and the size of your property. If you need urgent help – for example before a landlord inspection, last‑minute guests or an unexpected move – contact us by phone for the fastest response. We will check team availability, discuss priorities and focus on the areas that matter most if time is limited. Urgent appointments are always quoted in advance so you can decide before confirming.
Are your cleaners insured while working in my home?
Yes. Tenancy Cleaning London operates with full public liability cover, and our equipment is protected by suitable goods in transit insurance when we travel. This means you are covered should accidental damage occur while we are working. Incidents are thankfully rare, but we believe that proper insurance is an essential part of a professional service. Our cleaners are also carefully vetted and trained to work responsibly around your belongings, follow security procedures and report any issues immediately so they can be resolved promptly.
What exactly is included in a standard house clean?
A standard visit focuses on all main living areas, bedrooms, kitchen and bathrooms. Tasks include dusting, vacuuming, mopping, cleaning worktops and appliance exteriors, wiping cupboard fronts, sanitising toilets, baths, showers and basins, and emptying accessible bins. We also clean mirrors and obvious marks on surfaces. Inside ovens, fridges, cupboards and interior windows can be added on request, as can deeper tasks such as limescale removal in heavy‑use bathrooms. When you book, we agree a clear checklist and priorities so your cleaner focuses on what matters most to you.
How far in advance should I book my house cleaning?
For regular weekly or fortnightly slots, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks ahead so we can offer your preferred day and time. One‑off or deep cleans are best booked as early as possible, particularly at month‑end and around holidays when demand in London is high. That said, we do keep some flexibility for last‑minute requests. If your dates are fixed, such as before a move or inspection, let us know as soon as you can and we will do our best to secure the appointment that suits you.
