How Our Domestic Cleaning Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact our office by phone or online form with details of your property, the number of bedrooms/bathrooms and the type of service you need. We discuss your priorities and timeframes, then provide a clear, no-obligation quotation based on the size and condition of your home and the frequency of visits.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger homes or more complex cleans, we may suggest a short virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to view flooring types, access, parking and any delicate items, so we can allocate the right number of cleaners and time. For regular weekly cleans in smaller properties, we can often quote accurately without a visit using photos or a video call.

3. Preparation

Before the first clean, we agree dates, times, key access arrangements and your priority list. On the day, our trained, professional cleaners arrive on time, fully briefed, and carry out your cleaning plan methodically. After the visit, we welcome feedback and can fine-tune the checklist for future cleans.

Transparent Pricing for Domestic Cleaning

We price domestic cleaning clearly so you know exactly what you are paying for. Charges are usually based on an hourly rate, with a minimum visit length to ensure we can deliver a proper standard. The rate depends on:

• Size and type of property
• Service type – regular maintenance vs deep cleaning
• Frequency – weekly, fortnightly, monthly or one-off
• Any specialist tasks or add-ons required

Your quote will set out the total estimated time and cost for each visit. There are no hidden fees; any additional work is agreed with you in advance.

Why Choose Professional Domestic Cleaners Instead of DIY

Cleaning your own home is possible, but a professional domestic cleaning service offers clear advantages:

• Trained cleaners who know how to treat different surfaces, finishes and fabrics correctly
• Consistent results – every visit follows a checklist, not just what time allows
• Time savings – freeing you to focus on work, family and leisure
• Professional products and equipment for deeper, longer-lasting results
• Reduced wear and damage from incorrect product use or over-scrubbing

As carpet cleaning specialists, we also understand how household dust and grit affect carpets and furnishings, and we clean in a way that helps protect your investment.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Entrusting someone with your home requires confidence. As a reputable Kensington cleaning company, we take that responsibility seriously.

• Fully insured – We carry comprehensive public liability cover for peace of mind in case of accidental damage.
• Goods in transit insurance – For equipment and materials we bring onto your premises, ensuring everything used in your home is properly covered.
• Trained cleaning teams – Every cleaner receives thorough training in safe product use, correct cleaning methods and care of delicate surfaces.
• Security awareness – Clear procedures for key-holding, alarm settings and building access.

We follow industry best practice for health and safety and continually review our methods to keep you, your household and our teams safe.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Looking after your home means more than making it look clean. We focus on protecting surfaces and reducing environmental impact where possible.

• Using suitable products for each surface to avoid scratching, dulling or staining
• Microfibre cloths and colour-coded systems to reduce cross-contamination
• Option of lower-fragrance or gentler products where there are allergies or sensitivities
• Measured product use to avoid waste and unnecessary chemical load
• Well-maintained equipment for efficient cleaning and reduced energy use

Our aim is a home that not only looks clean but also feels healthier and is cared for long term.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does domestic cleaning in Kensington cost?

Domestic cleaning is usually charged at an hourly rate, with a minimum visit length to ensure a good standard. The overall cost depends on the size of your property, how many bathrooms you have, whether you choose weekly, fortnightly or one-off cleaning, and how much work is needed initially. After a short discussion, and where helpful a virtual or onsite survey, we provide a clear written quote setting out the expected time and total price per visit, so you know exactly what to budget for.

Can you provide same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?

We will always try to help with same-day or urgent cleaning requests in Kensington, particularly for last-minute viewings, inspections or guests. Availability depends on our existing schedule and the size of the job. Smaller flats are usually easier to accommodate at short notice than large houses. If we cannot attend the same day, we will offer the earliest alternative and may suggest a focused clean that prioritises key areas such as kitchens, bathrooms and main living spaces to deliver the most impact in the time available.

Are your cleaners insured while working in my home?

Yes. We are fully insured to work in residential properties. Our public liability cover protects against accidental damage or injury arising from our work, and we also maintain goods in transit insurance for the equipment and materials we bring into your home. While incidents are rare due to our training and careful approach, insurance provides an extra layer of reassurance. We can provide proof of cover on request, and our team follow clear reporting procedures should any issue occur during a visit.

What is included in a standard domestic cleaning visit?

A standard visit focuses on regular maintenance tasks: dusting and wiping accessible surfaces, vacuuming and mopping floors, cleaning bathrooms and toilets, tidying and wiping kitchen worktops, cupboard fronts, hobs and sinks, plus general straightening throughout. We also empty bins and clean mirrors and reachable internal glass. Before starting, we agree a checklist and priorities with you, so time is spent where it matters most. Deeper tasks such as inside ovens, fridges or cupboards, and carpet shampooing, can be added by arrangement.

How far in advance should I book domestic cleaning?

For regular weekly or fortnightly domestic cleaning in Kensington, booking one to two weeks in advance usually secures your preferred day and time, especially if you have a limited window for access. For deep cleans or end of tenancy work, a little more notice is helpful so we can allow enough time and staff. That said, we keep some flexibility for short-notice requests and changes. If you have a specific deadline, such as a move-out date or guests arriving, let us know and we will plan around it wherever possible.
