The short version

How cleaning is priced

The prices on this page are typical UK market ranges to help you budget. They are not our quotes, and we never charge a flat rate.

Most cleaning is priced on the size of the property, its condition and the access, not on a fixed menu. Regular domestic work is usually charged by the hour with a minimum booking. One-off jobs like an end of tenancy or a deep clean are normally a fixed price for an agreed scope. Wherever you see a range below, the bottom is a tidy, average property and the top is a larger or neglected one.

Why we quote per job

We do not put a single price up because it would be wrong for most homes. We scope the work against a checklist, factor in size, condition and access, and confirm a fixed price before you book. Send your postcode, the service and the property details for a real figure, usually the same day.

FAQs

Cost questions

How much does end of tenancy cleaning cost?

Across the UK a one-bed flat is typically £100 to £200 and a three-bed house £220 to £450, with London and the South East 20 to 30 percent higher. The figure depends on the size, the condition and any add-ons like the oven. We quote each property individually rather than charge a flat rate.

Is cleaning charged by the hour or as a fixed price?

It varies by service. Regular domestic cleaning is usually charged by the hour with a minimum booking. One-off jobs like an end of tenancy or deep clean are normally a fixed price for an agreed scope, so you know the total before you book.

Why is there no single price on this site?

A tidy one-bed and a four-bed that has not been touched in a year are very different jobs, so a blanket price would be wrong for most people. We scope the work against a checklist, then confirm a fixed price before you book. Nothing is added on the day.

Does cleaning cost more in London?

Yes. London and the South East typically sit 20 to 30 percent above the rest of the UK, mainly because of higher wages, travel and parking. The ranges on this page are a national guide, so add a margin if you are in or near the capital.

What is the cheapest way to book a cleaner?

Book a regular slot rather than one-offs, give the full scope up front so there is no return trip, and bundle any add-ons into the same visit. Being flexible on the day and time helps too. Send your details and we will quote the most efficient option for what you need.
