Our Step-by-Step Domestic Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Clear Quotation

You contact us by phone, email or online form with your property details, number of rooms and the type of clean you need. We ask a few practical questions so we can estimate time accurately. Based on that, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote explaining the hourly rate or fixed price, what is included, and any optional extras you have requested.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most domestic cleaning in EC2, a short virtual survey (photos or video call) is sufficient. This helps us assess current condition, floor types and access. For larger properties or more complex jobs – such as a full deep clean or end of tenancy – we may suggest a brief onsite visit. This ensures our quote is accurate and avoids surprises on the day.

3. Preparation and Cleaning Day

Before arrival, we confirm the appointment and any entry arrangements. On the day, our trained cleaners arrive with professional products and equipment. We walk through the property with you if you are present, agree priorities, and then work through each room methodically. On completion, we invite you to inspect the property so any small touch-ups can be handled there and then.

Transparent, Straightforward Pricing

Our domestic cleaning is priced either per hour or at a fixed rate for clearly defined jobs such as one-off deep cleaning or end of tenancy cleans. We will always:

• Explain our hourly rates and minimum booking times
• Confirm whether equipment and products are included
• Highlight any additional costs in advance (e.g. oven or carpet cleaning)
• Provide written confirmation of the agreed price before starting work

There are no hidden fees for congestion charge or parking without prior discussion; if these apply to your address, we build them into the quote so you know the full cost from the outset.

Why Choose Professional Cleaners Instead of DIY

Cleaning your own home is possible, but professional domestic cleaners bring several advantages:

• Better results – we use commercial-grade products, correct dwell times and proven methods for limescale, grease and stains.
• Consistency – the same level of finish every visit, following an agreed checklist.
• Time-saving – you regain hours each week to focus on work, family or rest.
• Protection of surfaces – trained cleaners know which products are safe on different materials.
• Accountability – if anything is not right, you have a company to call who will put it right.

Insurance and Professional Standards

As an established EC2 cleaning company, we take responsibility for the work we carry out and the people we send into your home.

• Public liability cover – protects against damage to your property resulting from our work.
• Goods in transit insurance – where we transport cleaning equipment and materials to and from your property, these are covered in transit.
• Trained cleaning teams – all staff receive practical training in safe product use, colour-coded cleaning, and correct techniques for different surfaces.
• Reference and right-to-work checks on our regular cleaners.

We work to recognised industry good practice for health and safety, chemical handling and safeguarding your keys and personal information.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Respect for your home is central to how we work. We take care to:

• Use appropriate pads and cloths to avoid scratching surfaces
• Test products on small, hidden areas where necessary
• Use protective shoe covers where requested
• Leave your belongings as we found them, unless agreed otherwise

We are also mindful of environmental impact. Wherever practical, we use concentrated, high-efficiency products to reduce waste, microfibre systems to minimise chemical use, and sensible dosing so that cleaning is effective without overuse of detergents. If you prefer eco-friendlier products, we can discuss suitable options for your property.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does domestic cleaning in EC2 cost?

Pricing depends mainly on the size of your property, its current condition and whether you need a standard clean or a deeper service. For regular domestic cleaning we usually charge an hourly rate with a minimum booking time, while one-off deep cleans or end of tenancy cleans are often priced as a fixed package. When you contact us we will ask a few simple questions or request photos, then provide a clear written quote with no hidden extras, so you know the full cost in advance.

Can you offer same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?

We can often accommodate same-day or short-notice bookings in EC2, especially outside peak changeover periods. Availability depends on our existing schedule and the size of the job. For urgent cleans, such as last-minute end of tenancy work or pre-visitor spruce-ups, it helps if you can be flexible on start time and prioritise the most important areas. Contact us by phone for the fastest response, and we will let you know straight away what we can realistically achieve that day.

Are you insured while working in my home?

Yes. We carry comprehensive public liability cover for work carried out in your property, as well as goods in transit insurance for our equipment and materials when travelling to and from your home. Our cleaners are trained in safe working methods and product use to minimise risk, and we have clear procedures for handling your keys and alarm codes. If you ever need confirmation for a landlord or managing agent, we are happy to provide copies of our insurance details on request.

What is included in a standard domestic cleaning visit?

A standard visit focuses on keeping your main living areas hygienic and presentable. Typically this includes dusting and wiping surfaces, vacuuming and mopping floors, cleaning kitchen worktops and appliance fronts, and giving bathrooms a thorough clean – toilets, basins, baths or showers and tiles. We also empty bins and wipe high-touch points such as handles and switches. Before we start regular cleaning, we agree a simple checklist with you so that your priorities are covered and you know exactly what to expect each visit.

How far in advance should I book?

For regular weekly or fortnightly domestic cleaning in EC2, we recommend arranging your service at least one to two weeks ahead so we can secure a consistent day and time. For one-off deep cleans, end of tenancy work or pre-event cleaning, more notice is always helpful, particularly at month-end and weekends. That said, we do keep some flexibility in our schedule, so if you need something sooner, it is always worth contacting us – we will advise the earliest realistic slot and what we can achieve.

Do I need to be at home during the clean?

You are welcome to be present, but it is not essential. Many clients in EC2 choose to provide a set of keys or arrange access via building concierge so cleans can take place while they are at work. We have secure key-handling procedures and log all keys carefully. At the first visit we agree how to lock up when we leave and where to place any notes or feedback, so you return to a clean home with minimal disruption to your day.
