What Is Not Included as Standard
To keep our pricing clear and fair, certain tasks are not included in a standard house clean, but can often be added by arrangement:
- Cleaning of external windows or areas requiring ladders
- Deep oven cleaning (full dismantling and soak)
- Carpet and upholstery steam cleaning
- Heavy-duty post-builders cleaning
- Extreme or hazardous cleaning (e.g. mould remediation, biohazards)
- Decluttering or removal of large volumes of rubbish
If you are unsure whether a task is included, just ask during the enquiry stage – we will confirm exactly what is and is not covered, so there are no surprises on the day.
Our Step-by-Step House Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact Cleaners Greenwich by phone, email or online form. We will ask a few straightforward questions about your property size, number of bathrooms, current condition and what you would like us to focus on. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, outlining the expected time on site and frequency if you are considering regular cleaning.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most standard homes, a short virtual survey (via photos or video call) is enough for us to confirm the quotation. For larger or more complex properties, we may suggest a brief onsite visit in Greenwich. This allows us to assess access, parking, surfaces and any specific requirements, and to agree your cleaning priorities room by room.
3. Preparation & Cleaning Day
Before the first clean, we confirm the date, time window and any access arrangements (keys, concierge, key safe). On the day, our trained, professional cleaners arrive in uniform with all necessary equipment and products, unless you have requested we use your own. We work systematically through your property, following an agreed checklist, giving particular attention to kitchens and bathrooms while respecting your belongings and privacy.
Local House Cleaning Expertise in Greenwich
Being based in Greenwich, we know the local housing stock well – from Victorian conversions around West Greenwich to modern riverside apartments on the Peninsula. That local knowledge helps us plan realistic cleaning times, manage parking restrictions and ensure we are punctual, even at busier times of the day.
Our clients include busy professionals commuting into the City, families juggling school runs, and students at the University of Greenwich. We adapt our scheduling around your lifestyle, whether you need early morning appointments, daytime visits while you are at work, or weekend one-offs.
Transparent, Fair Pricing
We believe in keeping pricing straightforward. Our house cleaning is typically charged by the hour, with a minimum booking length that we will confirm during your enquiry. The rate depends on the type of clean (regular vs deep), the size of the property and any additional tasks requested.
Before you commit, you will receive a written or emailed breakdown explaining:
- Hourly rate or fixed price (for one-off packages)
- Estimated time required for your property
- What is included in the service
- Any optional add-ons with their separate costs
We do not add hidden fees for standard cleaning materials or equipment. If parking charges or congestion-related costs apply, these will be discussed and agreed in advance.
Why Professional Cleaning Beats DIY
While it is possible to clean your own home, many Greenwich residents choose a professional service for several reasons:
- Consistency: A set schedule and checklist ensure nothing important is missed.
- Equipment and products: We use trade-quality tools and appropriate cleaning agents for different surfaces.
- Time-saving: Free up evenings and weekends for family, rest or work.
- Attention to detail: Trained cleaners spot and tackle build-up before it becomes a problem.
- Hygiene: High-touch areas receive thorough, regular disinfection.
Most of our regular clients tell us that the main benefit is peace of mind – knowing the basics are always under control, even at the busiest times.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your home and belongings are important, and we treat them accordingly. Cleaners Greenwich is fully committed to operating to high professional standards and maintaining appropriate insurance cover.
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to your property or injury while we are working on site.
- Goods in transit insurance – where we are moving or transporting your items as part of a clean, they are covered while in our care.
- Trained cleaning teams – all cleaners receive induction training on safe product use, correct dilution, surface compatibility and health and safety.
We also have clear procedures for key holding and access, and we only deploy vetted, referenced staff into client homes. *If you would like to see copies of our insurance certificates, we are happy to provide them on request.*
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take care to protect both your home and the environment while we work.
Protecting Your Home
- Using appropriate cloths and non-scratch pads on sensitive surfaces
- Avoiding harsh chemicals on natural stone, wood or delicate finishes
- Following manufacturer guidance where provided (e.g. for hobs and appliances)
- Being careful around personal items and electronics
Sustainable Cleaning Practices
- Using concentrated products to reduce packaging waste where possible
- Selecting eco-friendlier cleaning solutions on request
- Colour-coded cloths and mops to minimise cross-contamination
- Efficient route planning to reduce unnecessary travel within Greenwich
If you have particular preferences – such as plant-based products or fragrance-free solutions – please let us know and we will accommodate them wherever we can.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does house cleaning in Greenwich cost?
The cost depends mainly on your property size, the level of cleaning required and how often you would like us to visit. Smaller flats needing light weekly maintenance will naturally cost less than a large family home requiring a full deep clean. We usually work on an hourly rate for regular visits and may offer a fixed price for one-off deep or end of tenancy cleans. During your enquiry, we will ask a few questions and then provide a clear, tailored quotation with no obligation.
Can you offer same-day or urgent house cleaning?
We can often arrange same-day or next-day house cleaning in Greenwich, particularly outside peak times and mid-week. Urgent slots depend on current bookings and the size of the job. If you need rapid assistance – for example before guests arrive, after an event, or prior to a landlord inspection – contact us by phone so we can check live availability. We will always be honest about what is realistic in the time available and may suggest a focused clean of key areas if a full deep clean is not feasible on the same day.
Are you insured while working in my home?
Yes. We are a fully insured local cleaning company. Our public liability cover protects against accidental damage or injury while we are working in your property. In addition, where we are moving or transporting any of your items as part of the job, goods in transit insurance provides extra reassurance. All team members are trained to work carefully, follow safety procedures and report any issues immediately. If you would like details of our insurance policies or limits, we are happy to share them before you make a booking.
What is included in a standard house cleaning service?
A standard visit typically covers dusting, vacuuming, mopping, cleaning of bathrooms and toilets, and wiping kitchen surfaces, cupboard fronts and appliance exteriors. We also tidy key areas and deal with visible marks on doors, switches and skirting boards where reasonable within the booked time. Deep tasks such as inside ovens, internal windows, carpet steam cleaning or heavy limescale removal are not automatically included but can often be added by arrangement. Before your first clean, we confirm a clear checklist so you know exactly what our cleaners will do on each visit.
How far in advance should I book?
For regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning, it is best to book at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you prefer specific days or times. This helps us allocate a consistent cleaner and time slot to you. For one-off and deep cleans, we can often help at shorter notice, but availability will vary during busy periods such as month-end or around holidays. If you have a fixed deadline – for example, a move-out date or a scheduled inspection – please contact us as early as possible so we can secure your preferred date.
Do I need to be at home during the clean?
You are welcome to be present if you prefer, but many clients are at work or out while we clean. We can arrange secure key holding, use a key safe or coordinate with a building concierge, depending on your building’s arrangements. All keys are coded and stored securely when not in use. Before the first visit, we will agree access, any alarm instructions and where you would like our team to focus. After that, you can simply return to a clean, fresh home without needing to wait in.
