Our Step-by-Step House Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact us by phone, email or via our website. We will ask a few straightforward questions about the property size, number of rooms, type of flooring, and what you would like us to focus on. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually with several options (for example, regular cleaning versus a one-off deep clean). There are no hidden extras; all costs are explained up front.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For standard weekly or fortnightly cleaning, we can usually assess your requirements via a brief phone or video call. For larger homes, end of tenancy work, or properties in a particularly poor state, we may recommend a short onsite survey. This allows us to check access, parking, and any special considerations. Surveys ensure we allocate enough time and the right number of cleaners on the day.
3. Preparation Before the Clean
Before we arrive, we will confirm the appointment time and any entry instructions. If possible, we ask that surfaces are reasonably clear of clutter so we can clean efficiently. On arrival, our team will walk through the property with you, confirm the agreed tasks and priorities, and highlight any delicate items that need extra care. We then set out protective materials, assemble our equipment and begin working systematically room by room.
Transparent Pricing – How We Charge
We believe in straightforward, honest pricing. Our house cleaning is typically charged either:
- By the hour for regular weekly or fortnightly visits, with a minimum booking time; or
- As a fixed price for one-off deep cleans and end of tenancy work, based on property size and condition.
Factors that influence cost include number of bedrooms and bathrooms, frequency of visits, and any optional extras such as oven or inside-fridge cleaning. We will always provide a clear written quote before work begins. If we feel more time is needed than initially estimated, we discuss this with you before proceeding.
Why Choose Professional Cleaning Over DIY?
Many clients start out doing everything themselves, then realise how much time and energy cleaning can take. A professional service offers several advantages:
- Trained cleaners who know how to tackle built-up dirt, limescale and stains safely.
- Professional-grade products and equipment that deliver better, longer-lasting results.
- A systematic approach that ensures no key areas are missed.
- Consistent standards, even when you are busy, ill or away.
- Reduced stress and more free time to spend with family, friends, or on work.
For landlords and agents, professional cleaning also helps avoid disputes, as work is carried out to a documented, check-listed standard.

Carpet Cleaning Wandsworth operates as a fully insured, professionally run local business. Your property and belongings are treated as if they were our own.
- Public liability cover – protects you and your property in the unlikely event of accidental damage while we are working.

We follow clear checklists and quality procedures on every job, with spot checks and feedback encouraged to keep standards high.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does house cleaning in Wandsworth cost?
Costs depend mainly on property size, the level of cleaning required, and how often you would like us to visit. Regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning is usually charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking time, while one-off deep cleans and end of tenancy cleans are priced per job. Once we know the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, plus any extras such as oven or fridge cleaning, we provide a clear written quote. There are no hidden charges, and we are always happy to explain how the price is calculated.
Can you offer same-day or urgent house cleaning?
We do our best to accommodate urgent or same-day requests, especially for move-outs, last-minute inspections or unexpected visitors. Availability depends on our schedule and the size of the job, but if we cannot send a full team, we may still be able to offer a shorter, focused clean. The sooner you contact us, the better the chance of securing a convenient time. Urgent bookings are always discussed openly in terms of what can realistically be achieved within the time available.
Are you insured while working in my home?
Yes. We are fully insured to work in residential and small commercial properties across Wandsworth. Our public liability cover protects you in the unlikely event of accidental damage to your property, while our goods in transit insurance covers the cleaning equipment and materials we bring to and from your home. In addition, our cleaners are trained to handle your belongings carefully, use appropriate products on delicate surfaces, and report any issues immediately. We are happy to confirm insurance details if you need them for landlords or letting agents.
What exactly is included in your house cleaning service?
Our standard service includes dusting, vacuuming, mopping hard floors, cleaning bathrooms, wiping kitchen worktops and cupboard fronts, and general surface cleaning throughout the home. We also empty bins and tidy visible surfaces where practical. Optional extras such as oven interiors, inside fridges, internal windows and cupboard interiors can be added on request. Before we start, we agree a clear task list with you, based on your priorities and the time booked, so you know exactly what is and is not included on the day.
How far in advance should I book?
For regular weekly or fortnightly house cleaning in Wandsworth, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance so you can choose your preferred day and time. End of tenancy and deep cleans are often in higher demand at month-end and during student changeover periods, so additional notice is helpful. That said, we always try to keep some flexibility for shorter-notice bookings. If you have a fixed move-out date or inspection, let us know as early as possible so we can secure a suitable slot.
Do I need to be at home while you clean?
You are welcome to be at home while we work, but it is not essential. Many clients provide a key or arrange key safe access once they are comfortable with our service. We log key reference numbers securely and never label them with addresses. If you prefer to be present for the first visit and then decide about future access arrangements, that is absolutely fine. Whichever option you choose, we aim to work quietly, efficiently and with minimum disruption to your routine.
