Our Step-by-Step Domestic Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact us by phone, email or through our website. We will ask a few straightforward questions about your property: number of bedrooms and bathrooms, level of clutter, type of flooring and any particular concerns (pets, allergies, limescale, etc.). Based on this, we provide a clear quote and suggest whether a one-off deep clean or a regular maintenance clean is most appropriate.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For larger or more complex properties, we may recommend a short survey. This can usually be done virtually via photos or a quick video call, or onsite if preferred. The survey allows us to:
- Assess access and parking
- Confirm the condition of kitchens and bathrooms
- Identify any delicate surfaces or items needing special care
- Agree priorities if time is limited
After the survey, we confirm the price and the estimated time required in writing.
3. Preparation Before Cleaning
In advance of your appointment, we send a brief checklist of how to prepare, such as:
- Putting away important documents and valuables
- Clearing surfaces as much as practical to allow thorough cleaning
- Advising us of any alarms, entry codes or concierge arrangements
On arrival, our professional team will walk through the property with you where possible, confirm priorities and highlight any existing damage so everything is transparent.
Transparent Pricing for Domestic Cleaning
We believe in clear, honest pricing. Our domestic cleaning is usually priced:
- Per hour for regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning
- As a fixed price for one-off or deep cleaning
Rates depend on the size and condition of the property and whether you require additional services such as internal oven or fridge cleaning. All prices are confirmed in advance, with no hidden extras. If we feel the work will take longer than initially estimated, we will discuss this with you before proceeding.
Why Choose Professional Cleaning Instead of DIY
Many clients start by doing everything themselves and quickly realise it is time-consuming and physically demanding. Choosing a trained, professional cleaning team offers several advantages:
- Time savings – freeing you to focus on work, family or rest
- Consistent standards – the same level of detail on every visit
- Correct products and methods – avoiding damage to delicate surfaces
- Better hygiene – targeted cleaning of high-risk areas such as bathrooms and kitchens
- Less stress – no rushing to clean before guests, inspections or viewings
Because we do this every day, we work methodically and efficiently, often achieving far more in a set time than an untrained person could.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your property is important, and so is your peace of mind. Our company is fully insured and operates to professional standards.
Insurance Cover
- Public liability cover – protects you in the unlikely event of accidental damage to your property or injury caused by our work.
- Goods in transit insurance – for jobs where we transport equipment or materials to and from your property, ensuring they are properly covered while on the move.
Trained Cleaning Teams
All cleaners are trained in safe product use, colour-coded cleaning, correct dilution and care for different surfaces. We provide ongoing training in hygiene standards, customer service and health and safety. Where possible, we aim to send you the same cleaner or small team for regular visits, so you know who is coming into your home.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take a careful, considered approach to every property we clean:
- Using furniture pads and protective coverings where needed to avoid marking floors
- Testing cleaning products on inconspicuous areas before use on delicate surfaces
- Avoiding overly harsh chemicals where milder alternatives will do the job
- Minimising water and product waste to reduce environmental impact
- Offering more eco-friendly cleaning options on request
Our aim is to leave your home not just looking clean, but also feeling fresh and safe for children, pets and anyone with sensitivities.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does domestic cleaning in West Kensington cost?
Pricing depends on the size and condition of your property, plus how often you would like us to clean. Regular weekly or fortnightly visits are usually charged by the hour, with a minimum booking time. One-off deep cleans and end-of-tenancy cleans are normally quoted as a fixed price once we understand the scope of work. We provide a clear, written quotation before any booking is confirmed, so you know exactly what is included and how long we expect the job to take.
Can you offer same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?
Where our schedule allows, we do our best to accommodate same-day or short-notice requests in West Kensington. Availability will depend on the time of your enquiry and the size of the job. If we cannot fit you in on the same day, we will usually be able to offer a nearby slot. For urgent situations, such as last-minute viewings or landlord inspections, it helps if you can share photos so we can give a realistic timeframe and prioritise the most important areas.
Are you insured while working in my home?
Yes. Our company is fully insured for domestic cleaning. We hold public liability cover to protect against accidental damage or injury linked to our work. Where equipment and materials are transported, we also have goods in transit insurance. While incidents are rare thanks to our training and cautious approach, insurance is an important safeguard for both you and us. We can provide proof of cover on request, and we are always happy to explain what is included before you book.
What exactly is included in a domestic cleaning service?
Our standard domestic cleaning covers the essential tasks needed to keep your home hygienic and presentable. This includes dusting, vacuuming, mopping hard floors, cleaning bathrooms, refreshing kitchens, emptying bins and wiping accessible surfaces. We can also focus on particular areas you are concerned about, such as limescale in bathrooms or grease in the kitchen. Deep cleaning tasks, like cleaning inside ovens, fridges and cupboards, can be added on request and will be clearly itemised in your quote so you know what to expect.
How far in advance should I book?
For regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance to secure your preferred day and time. One-off or deep cleans are best arranged a week or more ahead, especially during busy periods such as end-of-month or around holidays. That said, we do keep some flexibility for urgent or last-minute requests in West Kensington, so it is always worth asking. Once your slot is confirmed, we will send written details of the date, time and agreed work.
