Our House Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or online form with a brief description of your property, the number of rooms and the type of clean you require. We will ask a few questions to understand your priorities, frequency and access. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, either per visit or per hour, depending on what suits the job best.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For standard regular cleans, a detailed phone or virtual survey is often sufficient. For larger homes, heavily soiled properties or end-of-tenancy projects, we may recommend a short onsite visit or photos to confirm the condition and finalise timings and costs. This ensures the correct number of trained cleaners are allocated and that there are no surprises on the day.
3. Preparation and Cleaning Day
Before we arrive, we ask that you remove valuable items and declutter surfaces as much as reasonably possible so we can clean effectively. On the day, our professional team will arrive within the agreed time window in branded or clearly identified uniforms. We work methodically through the agreed checklist, paying attention to detail while respecting your home, belongings and neighbours.
Transparent Pricing for House Cleaning
We price house cleaning fairly based on the size and condition of the property, access, and whether it is a regular or one-off service. Most regular cleans are priced on a fixed-per-visit basis once we understand the scope, while deep and end-of-tenancy cleans may be priced by project.
Your quote will state clearly:
- Hourly rate or fixed price
- Number of cleaners and estimated duration
- What is included and any agreed extras
- Any parking or congestion considerations, where relevant
There are no hidden charges; any changes to scope are agreed with you in advance.
Why Professional House Cleaning Beats DIY
While many people clean their own homes, a professional service offers several advantages:
- Consistent standards – the same tasks carried out thoroughly every visit
- Correct products and methods for different surfaces and finishes
- Time saving – frees your evenings and weekends
- Objective eye – we notice the areas that are easy to overlook day-to-day
- Reliable cover – holiday and sickness cover for regular clients
Our cleaners are trained to work efficiently and safely, minimising the risk of damage to delicate surfaces, floors and fixtures.
Insurance and Professional Standards
We take our responsibilities in your home seriously and operate to robust professional standards.
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage or injury while we are working in your property.
- Goods in transit insurance – applicable where we transport specialist cleaning equipment to and from your property.
- Trained teams – all staff receive induction and ongoing training in cleaning techniques, product use, health & safety and customer care.
- Supervision and spot checks – quality control to maintain consistently high standards over time.
We are happy to confirm details of our insurance cover and provide documentation on request.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Respecting your home and the environment sits at the heart of how we work. We use appropriate products for different surfaces, avoiding overly harsh chemicals where gentler options are effective. On carpets and soft furnishings, we follow manufacturer guidance to prevent shrinkage or colour loss.
Where possible, we:
- Use concentrated solutions to reduce plastic and packaging waste
- Select microfibre cloths and reusable materials over disposables
- Ventilate rooms properly while minimising unnecessary energy use
Our cleaners treat your property as if it were their own, taking practical steps to protect floors, furniture and personal items during every visit.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does house cleaning in Shepherds Bush cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of the property, its condition and how often you would like us to clean. Smaller flats needing light, regular maintenance will usually cost less per visit than larger homes requiring deeper attention. After a short discussion, we provide a clear quote showing either an hourly rate or a fixed price per clean. There are no hidden extras – any additional tasks such as oven cleaning or carpet cleaning are priced and agreed separately in advance.
Can you provide same-day or urgent house cleaning?
Same-day or urgent cleaning is sometimes possible in Shepherds Bush, especially on weekdays, but it depends on our existing schedule and the size of the job. If you need a short-notice clean, contact us as early as you can with details of your property and priorities. We will always be honest about what we can realistically achieve in the available time and may suggest focusing on key areas, such as bathrooms and kitchen, if time is limited.
Are you insured while working in my home?
Yes. We carry public liability insurance to cover accidental damage or injury while we are working in your property, and goods in transit insurance for our equipment when it is being transported. Our staff are trained to handle belongings carefully and to follow clear procedures if something does go wrong. On request, we can share details of our cover so you have complete peace of mind before booking. We recommend that you also maintain your own household contents insurance as an additional safeguard.
What is included in a standard house cleaning service?
A standard clean covers routine tasks such as dusting accessible surfaces, vacuuming carpets, mopping hard floors, cleaning bathrooms, wiping kitchen worktops and cupboard fronts, and giving hob, sink and appliances an external wipe-down. We also empty bins where liners are provided. Deep cleaning tasks – such as inside ovens, inside fridges, full tile descaling, or professional carpet cleaning – are not included as standard but can usually be added as extras. Before we start, we agree a precise checklist so you know exactly what is covered.
How far in advance should I book?
For regular house cleaning in Shepherds Bush, booking one to two weeks in advance usually gives the best choice of days and times. During particularly busy periods, such as just before holidays or at the end of the month, slots can fill quickly, so earlier is always better if you have a specific date in mind. For one-off or deep cleans, we recommend contacting us as soon as you know your preferred window. We will always try to accommodate urgent requests where our schedule allows.
Do I need to be at home during the clean?
You are welcome to be at home, but it is not essential. Many clients prefer to provide us with keys or arrange key-safe access, especially for regular visits. We operate strict key-holding and security procedures to protect your property and privacy. Before starting, we will agree how we enter and secure your home, and any areas that should not be accessed. If you are present, our team is happy to walk through the property with you at the end to ensure you are satisfied with the work.
