Regular cleaning in London works when the brief is clear from day one: which rooms, how often, what's in and what's out. We set that down in the quote so there's no week-three drift. Most clients keep the same slot and the same cleaner.
The parking is the awkward part, not the cleaning. Most of inner London sits under a CPZ, so the cleaner can't just pull up outside, and on a recurring book that adds up week after week. We sort the key side once at the start, usually a lockbox by the door or a spare held for the same cleaner, and then the visit runs itself without you needing to be in.
A lot of our regulars are flat-shares and working couples in converted Victorian terraces, out at work when we come. The brief matters more than usual on those, because nobody's there to point at the thing that got missed. We keep the same cleaner on your slot so the brief lives in their head, not just on the quote, and the kitchen and bathroom they did last fortnight is the kitchen and bathroom they know this time.
London water is hard, and limescale creeps back onto taps, shower screens and the kettle between visits no matter how clean you left them. That's the case for a steady rhythm rather than the odd one-off. We bill by the hour against a minimum, and we'd rather set the rooms and frequency straight in the quote than have the scope quietly drift by week three.

Moving out of a 2-bed in London Fields after 3 years. The kitchen was bad. Grease on every surface behind the hob. They got it clean. Landlord did the checkout the next morning, no issues raised, deposit back in 8 days.
Flat on a permit street in Islington. Team had to park around the corner and carry everything. Took a bit longer than quoted but the cleaning itself was thorough. Bathroom limescale that I thought was permanent is gone. Deposit returned.
Honestly it was in a bad state. Previous housemates weren't exactly clean. Cleaners worked through it without complaint, did the oven as an add-on, left it smelling normal. Letting agent commented it looked better than the check-in photos. Can't ask for more.
Booked 4 days before my checkout. Got a quote the same day. Two-person team arrived on time, worked fast. Flat in New Cross. Open-plan living space, one bedroom. Done in about 3.5 hours. Full deposit back.
Team was meant to arrive at 9, turned up closer to 10. Would've been nice to know. But the actual clean was really good. Carpets done, bathroom tiles scrubbed properly, kitchen degreased top to bottom. Landlord signed off with no deductions.
High-spec flat, fussy managing agent. The team understood what was needed without me having to explain everything. Checked against the inventory notes I forwarded. Mirrors, windows, inside the oven, under the dishwasher. All done. Passed checkout.
Bermondsey flat, 18 months of buildup. Not a disaster but it needed proper attention. The kitchen extractor especially. Black with grease. They dismantled it and cleaned it properly. I didn't even know that was something they did. Deposit dispute avoided.
Small place but still needed the full treatment. Old oven, bathroom with hard water stains, skirting boards nobody had touched in years. Took about 2.5 hours. Everything covered. No arguments at checkout.
Really thorough clean of a large house in New Barnet. Only issue was one bathroom cabinet that hadn't been done inside. I flagged it and they came back and sorted it. That kind of follow-through matters. Happy with the result.
Needed it done at short notice. Landlord had brought the checkout forward. Got booked in within 48 hours. Two cleaners for a 3-bed, about 5 hours. Carpets, oven, full clean throughout. The letting agent's checklist came back with nothing on it.
SE10 flat in a converted Victorian building. Tricky layout, narrow kitchen, awkward bathroom. Team adapted without complaint, spent extra time on the grout and window frames. Check-in photos matched on checkout. Nothing withheld.
Fulham flat, 2 years in. Job itself was excellent. Very thorough, oven came up well, tiles scrubbed properly. The only thing was I had to chase for confirmation of the arrival time the night before. Not a deal-breaker but could be smoother. Deposit back in full.
Victorian conversion off Kentish Town Road. The bathroom grout had gone dark. Previous tenants' mess, not mine, but I was still liable. Team got it back to white. Letting agent signed off the next day, full deposit returned.
High ceilings, old sash windows. Took longer than a modern flat would. They were thorough on the kitchen and both bathrooms. One built-in cupboard shelf was missed and I had to point it out at the end. They did it then. Deposit back in full.
Awkward galley kitchen and a bathroom the size of a cupboard. They got into every corner. The oven hadn't been touched in two years. That was an add-on and worth every penny. Checkout inventory came back clear.
Two-bed above a shop, three years of cooking smells and bathroom limescale. Team of two, took most of the morning. Nothing flagged on checkout.
Tight turnaround before the landlord inspection. They arrived 45 minutes late which caused some stress but the clean itself was solid. Oven, carpets, bathrooms all done properly. Deposit came back minus a small admin fee that had nothing to do with cleaning.
3-bed shared between four of us for two years. We'd cleaned regularly but this needed a proper deep clean. They found limescale behind the toilets we'd completely missed. Agent noted it as clean. Deposit split four ways, all returned.
3-bed, two reception rooms, four years. Kitchen had taken a beating. Booked the oven clean as an add-on. Team came with all their own equipment, finished by 3pm. Landlord did the checkout that afternoon and signed everything off.
The quote was for 4 hours, it took closer to 5.5. Not a massive deal but worth knowing. Bathroom tiles properly de-scaled, kitchen cupboards done inside, skirting boards wiped down. Deposit back.
Small flat but the managing agent was very particular. They cleaned against the inventory list I forwarded, ticked everything off. I was honestly expecting to lose some deposit based on past experience with that agent. Nothing withheld.
Three-bed terrace, four tenants over two years. The communal bathroom had seen better days. Cleaned the whole house in about 5 hours. Limescale on the shower screen gone, oven done, carpets spot-cleaned. No issues at checkout.

Booked fairly last minute. Two-bed, two years of regular use. Team knew what they were doing from the minute they arrived. Checked out fine, landlord raised nothing.

FAQs
That's the whole point of a regular slot, so yes, we keep you with the same cleaner. They learn your home and your brief and you're not re-explaining it every week. If they're ever off sick or on holiday we'll tell you and send someone we've briefed, rather than leaving you with a no-show.
It's charged per hour with a minimum booking, and the page shows the current from-rate. We don't pluck an hourly figure out of thin air. We work out how long your brief honestly takes, agree the hours with you, and that's your regular visit.
Less builds up week to week, so a weekly visit is usually quicker. Go fortnightly and there's more dust and more in the bathroom by the time we arrive, so the same brief tends to need a bit longer. We'll be straight with you about which makes sense for your place.
Plenty of our regulars leave a key or a door code and come back to a clean home. The cleaner brings the usual kit. If you'd rather we used your own products, say so and leave them out.
Yes, and people do. A new baby, a lodger moving out, a room that's become an office. Tell us and we'll redo the brief so week three doesn't quietly drift from what you signed up for.
Let us know as early as you can and we'll move or skip the visit. A day or two's notice is the usual ask so the cleaner's time isn't already set aside. Going away for a while is no problem, just tell us the dates and we'll pause the slot and hold it for your return.
No. Tipping isn't expected in the UK and your cleaner is paid properly either way. Some clients do leave something at Christmas or after a big job, but it's entirely optional and there's no awkwardness if you don't.
It depends on the rooms, the bathrooms and how much of the brief is must-do versus nice-to-have. As a rough market guide a small flat is around two hours and a larger house three to four, more for fortnightly. We work out the honest time for your brief and agree the hours with you before the regular slot starts.
