How Our House Cleaning Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone, email or through our website. We will ask a few straightforward questions about the size of your property, number of bathrooms and any specific concerns. From there, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote for regular or one-off cleaning. Prices are based on time required and level of work, not guesswork.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger homes, deep cleans or more complex jobs, we may recommend a short video call or onsite visit. This allows us to see the layout, surfaces and any areas needing extra attention. A quick survey ensures we allocate the right amount of time and the right number of cleaners, so we can complete the job properly on the day.

3. Preparation Before We Arrive

Before your scheduled clean, we will confirm:

• Date, time and expected duration
• Access arrangements and any parking requirements
• Pets in the property and any special instructions
• Priority rooms or areas you want us to focus on

You do not need to tidy perfectly, but it helps if surfaces are reasonably clear so we can clean efficiently. On the day, our professional cleaners arrive on time, fully equipped and ready to work.

Transparent House Cleaning Pricing

Our pricing is straightforward and fully explained before any work begins. We typically charge by the hour, with minimum booking times depending on the size of the property. Factors that can affect the price include:

• Property size and number of bathrooms
• Frequency – weekly, fortnightly or one-off
• Standard maintenance clean versus deep clean
• Any optional extras such as inside fridge or oven cleaning

We will always confirm the estimated time and cost in writing. There are no hidden charges for products or equipment, and any changes to the price are always agreed with you in advance.

Why Choose Professional House Cleaners Over DIY?

Many of our Kensington clients are perfectly capable of cleaning, but simply lack the time or energy to do it consistently. A trained cleaning team brings:

• Consistent quality – the same methodical approach every visit
• Correct products – suitable for stone, wood, stainless steel and delicate finishes
• Time efficiency – a team will usually achieve far more in the same time
• Reduced wear and damage – avoiding harsh chemicals and incorrect tools
• Peace of mind – work carried out by professional, vetted cleaners

Professional cleaning helps maintain the long-term condition of your home, from bathrooms and kitchens to flooring and fixtures, often saving money on repairs or replacements in the long run.

Insurance, Training and Professional Standards

Your home is one of your most valuable assets, and we treat it with the respect it deserves. Cleaner Kensington operates with:

• Public liability cover – protecting you and your property while we are working on site
• Goods in transit insurance – for our cleaning equipment and materials when we are travelling to your home
• Fully insured cleaners – every team member is covered while carrying out cleaning tasks
• Trained teams – inducted in safe product use, colour coding, and correct cleaning techniques

All staff are reference-checked, and we maintain clear procedures for key holding, alarm codes and building access to keep your home secure at all times.

Care, Protection and Our Approach to Sustainability

We aim to look after both your home and the wider environment. Our approach includes:

• Using microfibre cloths and mops to reduce chemical use where possible
• Selecting reputable, effective products, including eco-friendlier options on request
• Colour-coded cloths to avoid cross-contamination between kitchens and bathrooms
• Protecting delicate surfaces such as natural stone, wood and specialist finishes
• Minimising waste by refilling bottles and reusing durable equipment

Your priorities come first, so if you prefer particular products or have allergies, we are happy to adapt our methods to suit your household.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does house cleaning in Kensington cost?

Costs depend mainly on property size, number of bathrooms and how often you’d like us to visit. As a guide, smaller flats usually require a minimum of a couple of hours, while larger houses may need a team for half a day or more, especially for a first or deep clean. We provide a clear hourly rate and an estimate of time required before you commit. There are no extra charges for standard products or equipment, and we confirm any additional costs in advance.

Can you provide same-day or urgent house cleaning?

Where our schedule allows, we do our best to accommodate same-day or next-day requests, particularly for move-outs, guest arrivals or last-minute inspections. Availability depends on existing bookings and the size of the job. If you need urgent cleaning, call us as early as possible with details of your property and deadlines. We will be honest about what can realistically be achieved in the time and may suggest a focused clean on key areas such as bathrooms, kitchen and main living spaces.

Are your cleaners insured while working in my home?

Yes. We operate with public liability cover for work carried out in your home, and goods in transit insurance for our equipment when travelling. Our cleaners are fully insured while performing their duties. This means that in the unlikely event of accidental damage, there is formal protection in place. We also follow clear procedures for reporting incidents and resolving issues, and we will always act transparently and fairly if something goes wrong.

What’s included in a standard house cleaning visit?

A standard visit focuses on regular upkeep: dusting and wiping of surfaces, cleaning of bathrooms and kitchen exteriors, vacuuming carpets and rugs, and mopping hard floors. We also empty small bins and tidy obvious clutter where practical. Inside ovens, fridges and cupboards, or heavy limescale removal, are not part of a standard clean but can be added as extras. Before we start, we agree priorities with you so the time booked is used where it makes the most difference.

How far in advance should I book?

For ongoing weekly or fortnightly cleaning, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance so we can secure your preferred day and time. One-off or deep cleans, especially for end of tenancy or post-build projects, are best arranged as soon as you know your dates. That said, we do sometimes have gaps due to schedule changes, so it is always worth checking short-notice availability. Once your slot is confirmed, we keep to it reliably and let you know promptly if anything needs to change.

Do I need to be at home while you clean?

No, you do not have to be present, provided we have arranged secure access in advance. Many Kensington clients are at work while we clean. You can give us a set of keys, leave them with a concierge, or use a key safe – we log all key movements and store them securely when not in use. If you prefer to be at home for the first visit, that’s absolutely fine; once you’re comfortable with the service, we can agree the most convenient arrangement for you.
