If you own your home and want it consistently clean without sacrificing your free time, our regular service keeps on top of dust, floors and bathrooms so you can enjoy your property properly. We can work around family routines, pets and home offices.

Renters

Whether you are in a flatshare or renting a family home, our domestic cleaning helps you maintain a good relationship with your landlord and avoid disputes about cleanliness. We can also arrange end of tenancy cleaning when you move out.

Landlords and letting agents

We work with landlords who need reliable, presentable homes between tenancies. Our team can complete pre-tenancy and end of tenancy cleans on tight timescales, helping reduce void periods and complaints from incoming tenants.

For small businesses, studios and home offices in Kennington, we offer light commercial-style domestic cleaning, focusing on reception rooms, workspaces, kitchens and WCs so your space remains professional for visitors and staff.

Students and shared houses

Shared accommodation can become messy quickly. We offer budget-friendly regular cleans for student houses and HMOs, concentrating on communal areas like kitchens, bathrooms and corridors so everyone benefits.

Our Domestic Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & quote

You can contact us by phone, email or via our website. We will ask about the size of your property, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, your priorities and how often you would like us to visit. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining what is included and how long the clean will take.

2. Survey – virtual or onsite

For straightforward homes, we can often assess your needs from photos or a short video call. For larger or more complex properties, we may recommend an onsite visit in Kennington. This allows us to check access, parking, floor types and any areas needing special attention, so that we allocate the right time and number of cleaners.

3. Preparation and first clean

Before the first visit, we confirm the agreed schedule, access arrangements and any security instructions. On the day, our trained cleaners arrive with professional products and equipment unless you prefer us to use your own. We follow our checklist and any notes you have given us, then review the result with you where possible so we can refine the service for future visits.

Transparent Pricing for Domestic Cleaning

We charge either by the hour or on a fixed price per visit, depending on the size and layout of your property. Prices are influenced by:

• Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
• Frequency of cleaning (regular visits work out cheaper per clean)
• Level of soiling and whether a deep clean is required initially
• Any optional extras such as inside oven cleaning or fridge cleaning

All costs are explained in advance, with no hidden charges. If we believe more or less time is needed once we have seen the property, we will discuss this with you before changing any agreed pricing.

Why Choose Professional Domestic Cleaning Over DIY

Cleaning your own home is possible, but using a professional service brings several advantages:

• Consistency – regular, scheduled cleaning which does not depend on your free time or energy.
• Professional equipment – we use commercial-grade vacuums, microfibre systems and cleaning solutions chosen for performance and safety.
• Trained cleaners – our team are shown effective techniques to clean thoroughly yet carefully, reducing the risk of damage to surfaces.
• Accountability – if something is missed, you can contact us and we will resolve it; with DIY, you carry all the responsibility.
• Health benefits – regular professional cleaning reduces dust, allergens and bacteria build-up.

Insurance and Professional Standards

As an established company in Kennington, we take our responsibilities seriously. All domestic cleaning work is fully covered by:

• Public liability cover – in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury in your home.
• Goods in transit insurance – for those occasions when we transport specialist equipment or your soft furnishings to be cleaned offsite.

Our cleaning teams are fully insured and trained to follow safe working practices, including careful handling of your belongings, secure key-holding procedures where required, and appropriate use of chemicals. We also carry out regular quality checks and welcome feedback so we can continually improve our standards.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every home in Kennington with respect, as if it were our own. That means:

• Using protective materials where needed to avoid marking floors and surfaces
• Testing products on small, inconspicuous areas if we are unsure how a surface will react
• Not over-wetting carpets, rugs or upholstery
• Closing gates and doors and returning moved items to their place

We are also mindful of the environmental impact of cleaning. Wherever practical, we choose concentrated, lower-toxicity products and microfibre systems that reduce water and chemical use. If you prefer eco-friendlier options, please mention this when you book and we will tailor our approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does domestic cleaning in Kennington cost?

Costs depend mainly on property size, how often we visit and the level of cleaning required. Smaller flats needing light weekly cleaning will typically be at the lower end of our price range, while larger homes or one-off deep cleans cost more due to extra time and detail. We are always happy to provide a clear, written quote once we understand your layout and priorities. There are no hidden extras – if additional work is requested, we will agree the price with you first.

Can you provide same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?

We will always try to accommodate urgent requests in Kennington, especially for end of tenancy, last-minute visits from relatives or property handovers. Same-day cleaning is sometimes possible if we have a gap in our schedule or a team nearby, but cannot be guaranteed. The more flexibility you have on timing and scope, the easier it is for us to help. Contact us as early in the day as you can, and we will be honest about what we can realistically achieve for you.

Are you insured in case anything is damaged?

Yes. We are a fully insured cleaning company. Our public liability insurance covers accidental damage or injury while we are working in your home, and our goods in transit policy covers any items or furnishings we transport with our equipment. In practice, incidents are rare because our teams are trained to work carefully and follow clear procedures. If something does go wrong, we ask you to tell us promptly so we can investigate, resolve the issue and, where appropriate, make a claim on our insurance.

What exactly is included in a domestic cleaning visit?

A standard visit covers routine tasks in kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas and hallways: dusting, vacuuming, mopping, bathroom cleaning, wiping kitchen worktops and cupboard fronts, and emptying bins. We follow an agreed checklist, which we adapt to your home and preferences. More intensive tasks such as oven deep cleaning, inside windows, carpet shampooing or decluttering are not automatically included, but many can be added as extras. We will confirm in writing what is and is not part of your service before we start.

How far in advance should I book?

For regular domestic cleaning, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks ahead so we can offer you your preferred day and time. Deep cleans, end of tenancy cleans and post-build cleans can get booked up quickly during busy periods, so a little more notice is helpful where possible. That said, we do keep some flexibility in our schedule for urgent or last-minute jobs in Kennington. It is always worth contacting us – if we can fit you in sooner, we will.
