How Our House Cleaning Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or our online form with basic details: property size, number of bathrooms, preferred days and whether you need a one-off or regular service. We will ask a few questions about finishes (for example, stone worktops or wooden flooring) and any priorities. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote with a suggested cleaning schedule.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For straightforward homes, a virtual survey (photos or video call) is usually sufficient. For larger or more complex properties, we may recommend a brief onsite visit. This helps us confirm timings, note access and parking, and identify any delicate surfaces or items that need particular care. The survey ensures we allocate the right number of trained cleaners and enough time to do a thorough job.
3. Preparation & First Clean
Before the first clean, we confirm your appointment, key arrangements and any alarm instructions. On the day, our team arrives punctually in uniform with all necessary products and equipment. We start with agreed priority areas, working methodically room by room. At the end, we invite feedback so we can fine-tune the routine for future visits.
Transparent Pricing
Our pricing is straightforward and based on:
- Property size and layout
- Frequency of cleaning (weekly, fortnightly, monthly, one-off)
- Current condition (standard maintenance vs deep clean)
- Any additional services requested
We generally charge per hour per cleaner, with a minimum booking time to ensure we can complete a proper clean. All rates are confirmed in writing before work begins, with no hidden extras. If we think more (or less) time is needed after the first visit, we will discuss it transparently so you stay in control of costs.
Why Choose Professional Cleaners Instead of DIY
While many people can manage basic tidying themselves, professional cleaners bring experience, efficiency and the right products to protect surfaces and finishes. We know how to remove limescale without damaging chrome, how to clean natural stone safely, and how to minimise streaks on glass and stainless steel. Our teams are used to working to a schedule, so more is achieved in a shorter time than most DIY cleans.
Most importantly, using a professional, fully insured service means you are covered if something unexpected happens, and you are not giving your time and energy every week to heavy cleaning tasks.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Cleaners Richmond upon Thames operates to high professional standards to protect your property and peace of mind:
- Fully insured for domestic and light commercial cleaning
- Public liability cover in place to protect you and your visitors
- Goods in transit insurance covering our equipment and materials while travelling to and from your property
- Trained, vetted cleaning teams with supervised induction and ongoing guidance
- Risk assessments for larger or more complex properties where appropriate
We follow product safety data, use appropriate PPE where needed, and always respect your home, belongings and privacy.
Care, Protection & Sustainability
We treat every property as if it were our own. That means using colour-coded cloths to avoid cross-contamination between kitchens and bathrooms, and taking extra care around delicate furniture, electronics and soft furnishings. Where suitable, we use low-odour, environmentally considerate products and avoid unnecessary harsh chemicals.
We aim to minimise waste by refilling bottles, using microfibre cloths and avoiding single-use items where possible, while still maintaining strict hygiene and cleanliness standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does house cleaning in Richmond upon Thames cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of your property, how often you want us to visit, and whether you need a standard maintenance clean or a deeper initial service. We generally work on an hourly rate per cleaner, with a minimum booking to ensure we can complete a thorough job. After a short discussion or survey, we provide a clear written quote with no hidden extras. You will always know the expected cost and time before we start any cleaning.
Can you offer same-day or urgent house cleaning?
Same-day or urgent appointments are sometimes possible, particularly on weekdays, but they depend on existing schedules and staff availability. If you need a rapid clean before guests arrive, an inspection, or a last-minute move, contact us as early as you can and let us know your deadline. We will check our rota and advise honestly whether we can help, and what can realistically be achieved within the time available at your property.
Are your cleaners insured while working in my home?
Yes. We are a fully insured local cleaning company. We hold public liability cover to protect you and your property, and goods in transit insurance for our equipment and materials while travelling. Our trained cleaners also follow strict procedures to minimise any risk of damage. In the rare event that something goes wrong, we deal with it transparently and in line with our insurance terms, giving you reassurance that you are not left out of pocket.
What is included in a standard house cleaning service?
A standard service focuses on regular maintenance: dusting, vacuuming and mopping floors; wiping accessible surfaces; cleaning bathrooms, toilets and basins; and cleaning kitchen worktops, sinks, hobs and appliance exteriors. We also empty bins and tidy as we go, within reason. We do not include tasks such as oven deep cleaning, carpet shampooing or exterior windows as standard, but many of these can be added by arrangement. Before your first visit, we will confirm exactly what is covered so expectations are clear.
How far in advance should I book?
For regular weekly or fortnightly slots, booking one to two weeks ahead usually gives the best choice of days and times. One-off or deep cleans can sometimes be arranged more quickly, but availability will vary during busy periods such as end of month or pre-holiday seasons. If you have a fixed deadline, such as a move-in or check-out date, let us know as early as possible so we can reserve a suitable team and ensure enough time to complete all the agreed tasks properly.
