Who Our House Cleaning Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal if you want a regular weekly or fortnightly clean, occasional deep cleans, or help before and after hosting guests. We keep on top of dust, limescale, kitchens and bathrooms so you can simply enjoy your home.

Renters

Perfect for maintaining a tidy, hygienic property and avoiding disputes at the end of your tenancy. We can also provide comprehensive end of tenancy cleaning in line with letting agent checklists.

Landlords & Letting Agents

We prepare properties between tenancies, after refurbishment or before marketing photographs. Our teams work to inventory standards and focus on kitchens, bathrooms, appliances and high-traffic areas.

Businesses & Home Offices

If you run a business from home or have staff working in a residential setting, we can maintain a professional, hygienic environment with regular scheduled cleaning.

Students & Shared Houses

Shared properties can quickly become difficult to manage. We offer flexible cleans for student houses and HMOs, including common areas and agreed private spaces, to keep everything under control.

How Our House Cleaning Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone or online with a few details about your property: location in Richmond upon Thames, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and the level of cleaning you require (regular, deep, or end of tenancy). We will provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually the same day. In most cases we can give an accurate estimate without visiting, based on your description.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger homes or more complex jobs, we may suggest a brief virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to assess the condition of the property, discuss priorities (for example heavy limescale, pet hair, or post-renovation dust), and confirm the time required. The survey is free, and it helps avoid surprises on the day of the clean.

3. Preparation Before the Clean

We will agree a date and time that suits you. Before our cleaners arrive, we simply ask that floors and surfaces are reasonably clear of clutter so we can focus on cleaning rather than tidying. If key collection or access via a concierge is needed, we will arrange this in advance. On the day, our professional team will arrive with all necessary products and equipment, unless otherwise agreed.

Transparent Pricing and How We Charge

We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. For most properties in Richmond upon Thames, we charge by the hour with a minimum booking time, and we will always advise how many hours are realistically required for the level of clean you want.

Your quote will confirm:

• Hourly rate or fixed price (for certain one-off cleans)
• Number of cleaners attending
• Estimated total time on site
• What is included in that time

Any optional extras will be priced clearly in advance. If, on arrival, we find the property in a significantly different condition from that described, we will discuss options with you before proceeding.

Why Choose Professional Cleaners Instead of DIY

While many people can do day-to-day cleaning themselves, a professional service brings several advantages:

• Trained cleaners who know which products and methods to use on different surfaces
• Specialist equipment and materials that achieve a deeper, longer-lasting clean
• Systematic cleaning routines so no areas are missed
• Consistent results, even when you are too busy or tired to clean yourself
• Reduced wear and tear on fixtures and fittings by using appropriate techniques

For landlords, tenants and businesses, professional house cleaning can also help meet tenancy agreements, inventory standards and health and safety expectations.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your peace of mind matters to us. Cleaners Richmond upon Thames operates to clear, professional standards:

• Public liability cover to protect against accidental damage or injury during our work
• Goods in transit insurance when we transport any of our cleaning equipment or your items as part of the service
• Trained and supervised teams following established cleaning methods and safety procedures
• Uniformed staff where applicable and clear identification on arrival

All cleaners are carefully vetted and receive ongoing training in safe product use, correct dilution, and care for different surfaces, from natural stone to delicate wood finishes.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We aim to clean thoroughly while looking after both your home and the environment. Where suitable, we use low-impact, eco-conscious products and microfibre systems to reduce chemical use. We always test products on inconspicuous areas if there is any doubt about how a surface will react.

During each visit we take care to:

• Protect delicate surfaces and finishes with appropriate products
• Avoid cross-contamination by using colour-coded cloths for kitchens and bathrooms
• Ventilate rooms when using stronger products where necessary
• Use water and materials efficiently to reduce waste

We are happy to discuss product choices with you and can often work with your preferred cleaning solutions if you wish.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does house cleaning in Richmond upon Thames cost?

Pricing depends on the size and condition of your property, how often you would like us to visit, and whether you need a standard or deep clean. Most clients choose an hourly rate with a minimum booking time, which we will confirm in writing before we start. For end of tenancy or one-off deep cleans we may offer a fixed price based on the number of rooms and expected hours. There are no hidden charges: your quote sets out clearly what is included in the price.

Can you provide same-day or urgent house cleaning?

We do our best to help with urgent or last-minute cleaning requests in Richmond upon Thames, especially when you are moving, have unexpected guests, or need to meet a tenancy deadline. Same-day appointments depend entirely on our schedule and the size of the job. If we cannot offer a full clean at very short notice, we will often suggest a focused clean targeting the most important areas such as kitchens, bathrooms and living spaces, then arrange a follow-up visit if required.

Are your cleaners insured while working in my home?

Yes. We are fully insured for the work we carry out. Our cover includes public liability insurance in case of accidental damage or injury while we are on your premises. In addition, we maintain goods in transit insurance for our equipment and any customer items we may need to transport as part of the service. All team members are trained to work carefully and safely, but if something does go wrong, we will always be transparent and follow our insurance procedures promptly.

What is included in a standard house cleaning service?

A standard house clean focuses on maintaining daily hygiene and cleanliness. This typically covers dusting, wiping reachable surfaces, vacuuming and mopping floors, cleaning kitchen worktops and appliance exteriors, and thoroughly cleaning bathrooms and toilets. We also empty bins and straighten rooms. You can add extras such as inside oven cleaning, internal windows, or fridge interiors for an additional charge. During your enquiry we will go through what you want us to prioritise so the visit is tailored to your property and preferences.

How far in advance should I book a house clean?

For regular weekly or fortnightly house cleaning, it is best to book at least one to two weeks in advance so we can offer your preferred day and time. For one-off or deep cleans, more notice is helpful, particularly during busy periods such as month-end and student changeover dates. That said, we will always try to accommodate shorter notice where our schedule allows. If you have a fixed deadline, such as a move-out date, please let us know as early as possible so we can reserve a suitable slot.
