Our Step-by-Step Domestic Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Transparent Quote
You can contact us by phone, email or through our online form. We will ask a few simple questions about your property size, number of bathrooms, flooring types and what you want cleaned. Based on this, we provide a clear, itemised quotation with an hourly or fixed price, depending on the type of service. There is no obligation, and we are always happy to adjust the specification to match your budget.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most standard domestic cleans, a brief virtual survey (photos or video call) is sufficient. For larger homes or deep cleans, we may recommend a short onsite visit to assess access, parking, flooring, and any delicate items. This helps us allocate the right number of trained cleaners, choose appropriate products, and plan the most efficient cleaning route around your home, minimising disruption.
3. Preparation & Cleaning Day
On the day of your clean, our team arrives on time in branded vehicles with all required equipment and products. We walk through the property with you (or follow pre-agreed instructions) to confirm priorities and any no-go areas. High-traffic spaces and bathrooms are tackled first, followed by detailed work on fixtures, edges and corners. At the end, we invite you to check the work. Any reasonable issues are addressed before we leave.
Local Expertise in Putney
Being based in Putney means we know local properties very well – from period terraces and mansion flats to modern riverside developments. We’re familiar with common issues such as traffic dust from main roads, limescale from hard water, and the demands of busy family homes. Our cleaners are local, reference-checked and fully trained to work efficiently without cutting corners.
We can accommodate building management requirements in blocks of flats, advise on cleaning schedules around school runs or commuting hours, and provide written confirmation of work for landlords and letting agents when needed.
Pricing: How We Charge for Domestic Cleaning
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. There are no hidden extras for standard equipment or products.
- Regular domestic cleaning – usually charged at an hourly rate per cleaner, with a minimum booking time.
- One-off and deep cleans – often priced as a fixed project cost once we understand the scope.
- Specialist carpet, rug and upholstery cleaning – quoted per room or per item.
Factors that influence the price include property size, current condition, frequency of visits and any add-on services requested. All costs are confirmed in writing before the clean, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Why Professional Domestic Cleaning Beats DIY
Cleaning your own home is possible, but a professional service offers several advantages:
- Consistent standards – trained cleaners follow a methodical checklist, so nothing is missed.
- Better results – professional equipment and products remove more dirt, allergens and bacteria.
- Time saving – you regain hours each week to focus on work, family or rest.
- Reduced wear – correct techniques protect delicate surfaces, carpets and furnishings.
- Reliability – scheduled visits mean your home never gets overwhelmingly out of control.
DIY cleaning is often rushed, and certain tasks (such as deep carpet cleaning) are hard to do well without specialist machinery and training.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your home and belongings are important, so we operate to high professional standards and carry appropriate cover.
- Public liability cover – protects you in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury during our visit.
- Goods in transit insurance – where we transport equipment and materials to and from your property, these are fully covered.
- Trained cleaning teams – our staff receive practical training in product use, stain treatment, manual handling and safe working practices.
We keep clear records of visits, use risk assessments for more complex jobs, and are happy to share copies of our insurance certificates with landlords, managing agents or building managers on request.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to clean thoroughly while protecting your home and the environment:
- Use of appropriate pads, cloths and brushes to avoid scratching finishes and flooring.
- Colour-coded cloths for kitchens, bathrooms and general areas to reduce cross-contamination.
- Careful testing of products on small, inconspicuous areas before full use on delicate materials.
- Consideration of eco-friendlier products where suitable, especially in homes with children or pets.
- Efficient routing and scheduling in Putney to reduce unnecessary travel and emissions.
Where you have specific preferences – such as fragrance-free products or your own supplies – we will incorporate these into your cleaning plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does domestic cleaning in Putney cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of your property, how often we visit and the current condition of your home. Regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning is usually charged at an hourly rate per cleaner, with a minimum booking time to ensure we can work thoroughly. One-off or deep cleans are often priced as a fixed fee once we understand the scope. We’ll ask a few questions, provide a clear written quote, and never add hidden charges for standard products or equipment.
Can you provide same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?
Where possible, yes. We keep some flexibility in our schedule for urgent or last-minute requests, such as preparing for unexpected guests, post-incident cleaning or helping before a property inspection. Same-day availability depends on the time of your enquiry and the size of the job, so it’s best to call us as early as you can. If we can’t attend the same day, we’ll offer the nearest available slot and discuss which areas to prioritise first.
Are you insured while working in my home?
Yes. We operate with comprehensive public liability cover and goods in transit insurance for our equipment. This means that in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury during our work, you are protected. Our cleaners are also fully trained in safe working methods and correct product use to minimise risks. We can provide proof of insurance for your records, and many of our landlord and managing agent clients keep copies on file for peace of mind.
What exactly is included in a domestic cleaning service?
A standard domestic clean focuses on regularly used areas and hygiene-critical spaces. This includes dusting, wiping and polishing surfaces; cleaning kitchens and bathrooms; vacuuming carpets and rugs; mopping hard floors; and emptying bins. Light tidying of main rooms is also included. Deeper tasks such as oven cleaning, fridge interiors, carpet extraction or inside windows at height can be added as extras. Before we start, we’ll agree a checklist with you so you know precisely what is and isn’t included in each visit.
How far in advance do I need to book?
For regular domestic cleaning, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance, particularly if you prefer specific days and times. This allows us to allocate a consistent cleaner or team to your home. For one-off or deep cleans, more notice is helpful, but we will always try to accommodate shorter lead times. During particularly busy periods, such as before holidays or around student move-out dates, early booking gives you the best choice of appointments.
Do I need to be home during the clean?
No, you do not have to be present while we clean, although many clients prefer to be there for the first visit. We can work with key safes, concierge services, or pre-arranged key holding where appropriate. Security is taken seriously: keys are coded and never labelled with your address. We agree access arrangements in advance, confirm them in writing, and ensure your property is locked and secure before we leave. You’re always welcome to be at home if that’s your preference.
