Our Step-by-Step Domestic Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & quote

You can contact Cleaner Clapham by phone, email or our online form. We will ask a few simple questions about your property: size, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, current condition and the type of cleaning you are looking for. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote with an estimated time and cost. There are no hidden fees – what we agree is what you pay, provided the brief does not change.

2. Survey – virtual or onsite

For most standard domestic cleans, a short virtual survey (photos or video) is enough. For larger or heavily soiled properties, we may suggest an onsite visit in Clapham to assess accurately. This allows us to allocate the right number of cleaners, tools and time. The survey is focused on practicality: access, parking, any delicate items, and priorities such as bathrooms, kitchen or pet areas.

3. Preparation before the clean

Before we arrive, we ask that you remove or safely store valuable items and personal documents and clear major clutter from floors where possible. Our team arrives within the agreed time window, fully briefed and equipped. We run through your checklist, confirm any priorities and then carry out the clean systematically, room by room. At the end, we invite you to walk through and highlight anything you would like us to revisit.

Transparent Pricing for Domestic Cleaning in Clapham

We price domestic cleaning in a straightforward way, usually by the hour, with a minimum booking time depending on the size of the property. Larger homes or deep cleans are quoted as a fixed job price after we understand the scope. Regular clients in Clapham benefit from more predictable pricing and reserved time slots.

Factors that influence the cost include:

• Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
• Frequency (one-off, weekly, fortnightly or monthly)
• Condition of the property and any deep-clean requirements
• Optional extras such as oven or fridge cleaning

Before you commit, you will receive a clear breakdown of the estimated hours, rate and what is included. We do not charge upfront for regular cleaning; payment is usually after the clean, using your preferred method.

Why Choose Professional Domestic Cleaning Over DIY?

Cleaning your own home is perfectly possible, but many of our clients in Clapham simply lack the time, energy or specialist products to achieve a consistent result. A professional cleaning team:

• Works with a proven, systematic method so no areas are forgotten
• Uses commercial-grade products and equipment for better hygiene and finish
• Spots build-up of limescale, grime and dust before they become a problem
• Frees you to focus on work, family or study rather than weekend housework
• Provides a more neutral, accountable service than relying on housemates or family

With a professional domestic clean, you know exactly what will be done each visit and who is responsible for it.

Insurance, Training and Professional Standards

Cleaner Clapham operates to clear, documented standards so you can trust who is in your home.

• Fully insured for public liability, protecting you if accidental damage occurs while we are working in your property.
• Goods in transit insurance applies if we transport any of your items or equipment as part of an agreed service.
• Trained professional cleaners – our teams are reference-checked, inducted in product use, surface care and safe working practices.
• Clear checklists so each cleaner knows exactly what is expected in every room.

We also respect confidentiality and privacy. Our teams are instructed not to open drawers or cupboards unless you have specifically asked us to clean inside them.

Care, Protection and Sustainable Cleaning

We treat every property in Clapham as if it were our own. That means paying attention to surfaces, finishes and fabrics, and choosing cleaning methods that protect them over time.

• Use of appropriate products for stone, wood, stainless steel and delicate surfaces
• Colour-coded cloths and mops to avoid cross-contamination between kitchens and bathrooms
• Careful handling of ornaments, picture frames and electronics – we clean around, not through, fragile displays
• Where possible, we select low-odour, eco-friendlier products that are effective but gentler on the environment

If you have particular preferences – for example, fragrance-free products, pet-friendly solutions or the use of your own supplies – we are happy to adapt. Our goal is a clean, comfortable home that suits how you live.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does domestic cleaning in Clapham cost?

The cost depends mainly on the size of your property, the condition it is in and how often you would like us to clean. Smaller flats may only need a couple of hours, while larger houses or first-time deep cleans require longer. We usually charge by the hour for regular domestic cleaning, with a clear estimate given in advance. For deep cleans or move-in / move-out work, we can offer a fixed price once we have assessed the job. There are no hidden extras – everything is agreed before we start.

Can you provide same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?

We can often arrange short-notice or same-day domestic cleaning in Clapham, especially on weekdays, but it depends on our schedule at the time of your enquiry. If you need urgent help – for example, last-minute guests or a spill that needs attention – contact us as early in the day as possible. We will check availability across our teams and let you know what we can realistically offer, including the likely duration and cost. Where same-day is not possible, we will offer the earliest suitable appointment.

Are you insured while cleaning my home?

Yes. Cleaner Clapham is fully insured with public liability cover, so you are protected if accidental damage or injury occurs during our work. We also maintain goods in transit insurance where we have agreed to move or transport any of your items as part of the service. Our cleaners are trained to work carefully, use the right products on the right surfaces and report any issues immediately. While incidents are rare, it is important that you know there is proper cover in place and a clear procedure should anything go wrong.

What exactly is included in a domestic cleaning visit?

A standard visit covers routine cleaning of all main living areas, bedrooms, hallways, stairs, bathrooms and kitchen surfaces. We dust, vacuum, mop, clean mirrors, sanitise toilets, sinks, baths and showers, and wipe kitchen worktops, hobs and cupboard fronts. We also empty bins and do light tidying of visible surfaces. Inside ovens, fridges, windows and cupboards are not included by default, but can be added on request. Before your first clean, we will agree a checklist specific to your home so you know exactly what will be done each time.

How far in advance should I book my domestic cleaning?

For regular weekly or fortnightly slots in Clapham, it is best to arrange your domestic cleaning at least one to two weeks in advance so we can reserve a consistent day and time for you. One-off deep cleans are often booked a little further ahead, especially around busy periods such as end of term or before holidays. That said, we do keep some flexibility for new enquiries and urgent jobs. If your schedule is tight, let us know your ideal dates and we will do our best to fit you in.

Do I need to be at home during the clean?

You are welcome to be at home if you prefer, but many clients choose to give us access via key, key safe or concierge. Before we start, we will agree how our team will enter and lock up afterwards. All keys entrusted to Cleaner Clapham are coded and stored securely, and only authorised staff can access them. If you are working from home, we can clean around you, focusing on quieter areas first. The key point is that you stay comfortable with whatever arrangement we put in place.
