Our Step-by-Step Domestic Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You can contact us by phone, email or our online form. We ask a few straightforward questions about your property size, number of bathrooms, pets, preferred days and any priorities. Based on this, we give a clear, itemised quote, outlining the hourly rate or fixed price, what is included, and any optional extras. There is no obligation, and we are happy to adjust the plan to fit your budget and schedule.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For most regular domestic cleans, a short virtual survey via phone or video call is enough. For larger or more complex properties, we can arrange an onsite visit in Richmond upon Thames to walk through your home, discuss access, parking and any delicate items. This helps us estimate the right cleaning time and assign the most suitable professional cleaner or team.

3. Preparation & First Clean

Once you are happy with the quote, we book your first clean. We confirm date, time, cleaner’s name and how we will access the property. On the day, our trained cleaner arrives with appropriate products and equipment (or uses yours, if preferred). The first visit often focuses on bringing everything up to standard; thereafter, we maintain that level on a regular basis. We welcome feedback and can fine-tune the checklist after the first visit.

Transparent Pricing Explained

We believe in straightforward, honest pricing with no hidden charges. Our domestic cleaning in Richmond upon Thames is usually charged:

• By the hour for regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning
• As a fixed price for larger one-off or deep cleans

Rates vary slightly depending on frequency, property size and any specialist tasks. We confirm all costs in writing before any work begins. Parking and congestion charges (where unavoidable) are discussed in advance. You can pay by bank transfer, card or cash, and regular clients receive an invoice or receipt for each visit.

Why Choose Professional Cleaning Over DIY

Cleaning your own home can be time-consuming and physically demanding, especially with work and family commitments. A professional domestic cleaner brings consistency, experience and a structured approach. We use efficient methods, appropriate products and tested checklists to clean more thoroughly in less time. Having a regular cleaner also reduces stress around visitors, inspections or special occasions, and helps maintain surfaces, bathrooms and flooring in better condition, often saving money on repairs or replacements in the long term.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your home and belongings are always treated with care. Cleaners Richmond upon Thames operates with:

• Public liability cover – protecting you and your property during every visit
• Goods in transit insurance – for equipment and materials we bring to and from your home
• Trained cleaning teams – every cleaner receives induction training, product guidance and safety instruction

Our cleaners are identity and reference-checked, and many have been with us for years. We follow clear health and safety procedures, use products responsibly, and respect your privacy and security at all times.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We balance effective cleaning with a responsible approach to your home and the environment. Surfaces are tested for product suitability, and we take extra care with sensitive materials such as natural stone, wood and delicate fabrics. On request, we can use more eco-conscious products that are kinder to skin and indoor air quality. We minimise waste, use concentrated solutions where possible, and plan our routes across Richmond upon Thames to reduce unnecessary travel. Protecting your home, our staff and the environment is central to how we work.

Many of our clients are long-term, and much of our work comes through recommendation. We are familiar with residents’ parking, building access arrangements and estate guidelines across the borough, which helps us provide a smoother, more reliable service with realistic arrival times and consistent cleaners assigned to your area.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does domestic cleaning cost in Richmond upon Thames?

Costs depend on property size, frequency and the level of cleaning required. As a guide, smaller flats may need a minimum booking of a couple of hours, while larger houses require longer. Regular weekly or fortnightly visits usually work out cheaper per hour than occasional one-off cleans. We provide a clear estimate after asking a few questions about your home and priorities, and we confirm the rate and expected time in writing before you commit. There are no hidden extras, and any parking or special requests are discussed upfront.

Can you provide same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?

Where possible, yes. If you need an urgent clean for a viewing, inspection or last-minute guests, contact us by phone for the fastest response. Same-day domestic cleaning in Richmond upon Thames depends on cleaner availability and the size of the job. We will always be honest about what can be achieved in the time available, and may suggest focusing on key areas such as bathrooms, kitchen and main living spaces. Urgent visits are charged at our standard rates, and we confirm timing and costs before booking.

Are your cleaners insured while working in my home?

Yes. We operate with comprehensive public liability cover and goods in transit insurance for our equipment and materials. This means you are protected in the unlikely event of accidental damage or an incident during the clean. Our cleaners are also trained in safe working practices and product use to minimise risks. We are happy to provide details of our cover on request. Your keys, alarm details and any other access information are handled securely and confidentially, and we can work with your preferred house rules.

What exactly is included in a domestic cleaning visit?

A standard visit covers routine cleaning of kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living rooms, hallways and stairs. This includes dusting, wiping surfaces, cleaning sinks, toilets, baths and showers, vacuuming carpets and rugs, and mopping hard floors. We can also empty bins and do some light spot-cleaning of marks on doors and switches. Tasks such as inside oven cleaning, deep fridge cleaning, internal windows or laundry can often be added by agreement. Before we start, we create a checklist with you so it’s clear what is and isn’t included each time.

How far in advance should I book domestic cleaning?

For ongoing weekly or fortnightly domestic cleaning, booking at least one to two weeks in advance usually gives the best choice of days and times. For one-off or deep cleans, we can sometimes arrange visits sooner, especially outside peak periods. If you have a fixed deadline, such as a move-out date or family event, we recommend getting in touch as early as you can so we can schedule properly. Once your slot is agreed, we confirm it in writing and send reminders so you always know when to expect us.
