Our Simple Domestic Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & quote
You can contact us by phone, email or online form. We will ask a few practical questions about your property: type and size of home, number of bathrooms, how often you would like a cleaner, and any particular priorities. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, with hourly rates or fixed prices depending on the service.
2. Survey (virtual or onsite)
For standard weekly or fortnightly domestic cleaning, a short phone or virtual survey is usually sufficient. For larger homes, specialist work or deep cleaning, we may recommend an onsite visit. This allows us to assess access, parking, flooring types and any delicate surfaces that need special care, so we can plan the right cleaning products, equipment and timings.
3. Preparation and first clean
Once you are happy with the quote, we agree a start date and regular time slot where required. On the first visit, our trained professional cleaners work through a structured checklist, focusing on your priorities first. We can use our own professional-grade products or yours if you prefer. At the end of the clean, we review the work with you where possible and adjust the plan for future visits if needed.
Transparent Pricing for Domestic Cleaning in Swiss Cottage
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. There are no hidden charges for standard domestic cleaning, and you will always know what you are paying for.
- Regular weekly or fortnightly domestic cleaning is usually priced per hour, with a minimum visit length.
- One-off or deep cleaning can be priced per hour or as a fixed package, depending on the scope.
- Specialist add-ons such as oven cleaning or carpet cleaning are quoted separately.
The final price depends on property size, frequency, and the level of cleaning required at the start. Heavily soiled or neglected properties may take longer on the first visit, which we will discuss with you before booking so there are no surprises.
Why Choose Professional Domestic Cleaning Over DIY?
You can clean your own home, but professional domestic cleaners offer several advantages:
- Consistency: Regular, scheduled cleaning means your home stays at a comfortable standard even when you are busy.
- Efficiency: Experienced cleaners know the quickest, most effective methods and use professional products for better results.
- Attention to detail: We focus on areas that are often overlooked in a quick tidy-up, such as skirting boards, behind doors and high-touch surfaces.
- Protection of surfaces: Using the wrong product on stone, wood or delicate finishes can cause damage; our team is trained to avoid this.
- Peace of mind: With public liability cover and proper procedures, you are protected if something goes wrong.
Professional domestic cleaning is not a luxury for many of our clients; it is a practical way to reclaim time and reduce stress, while keeping the property in good order.
Insurance, Training and Professional Standards
Inviting someone into your home requires trust. We take that responsibility seriously.
- Our cleaners are covered by comprehensive public liability insurance, giving you protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage.
- We hold appropriate goods in transit insurance for the transportation of our equipment and materials, so you are not exposed to risk.
- All team members are trained in safe handling of chemicals, colour-coding, cross-contamination prevention and correct use of equipment.
- We follow clear health and safety procedures, including risk assessments for more complex work.
Our aim is to provide a professional, dependable service every time, with careful supervision and support for our cleaners so standards remain consistently high.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We clean as if it were our own home, with care for your belongings and the wider environment.
- Surface protection: We always test unfamiliar surfaces and use non-scratch, non-marking methods wherever possible.
- Careful handling: Ornaments and personal items are moved only when necessary and returned to their place once cleaned around.
- Sensible product use: We use effective, professional products without overusing chemicals, and can offer lower-fragrance or eco-friendlier options on request.
- Microfibre systems: Using washable cloths and mops reduces waste and improves cleaning performance.
Where feasible, we group cleaning visits geographically around Swiss Cottage to limit unnecessary travel, reducing our environmental impact while maintaining punctuality.
Local Expertise in Swiss Cottage
Based locally, we know the property styles and practical challenges common in Swiss Cottage: mansion blocks with shared entrances, modern apartments with concierge, and older houses with original floors and features. We plan for parking, access and building rules in advance, so cleaning visits are smooth and predictable.
Many of our clients come through recommendation. We aim to build long-term working relationships based on reliability, respect and consistent standards rather than one-off jobs.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does domestic cleaning in Swiss Cottage cost?
Pricing depends mainly on the size of your property, how often you would like us to visit, and the starting condition of your home. Regular weekly or fortnightly visits are usually charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking, while one-off or deep cleans may be quoted as a fixed price once we understand the scope. We provide a clear written quote before you commit to anything, and we are always happy to explain how the time is allocated so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Can you provide same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?
Where our schedule allows, we can often arrange short-notice or urgent domestic cleaning in Swiss Cottage, for example before guests arrive or after an unexpected event. Availability depends on existing bookings, but we will always do our best to help, even if that means sending a smaller team for a shorter, targeted clean. Same-day or very urgent appointments may require some flexibility on timing, and complex deep cleans may still need a brief survey first to ensure we bring the right products and equipment.
Are you insured in case something goes wrong?
Yes. We operate with full public liability insurance, which protects you in the event of accidental damage or injury linked to our work. Our equipment and materials are also covered by appropriate goods in transit insurance while being transported to and from your property. On top of this, our cleaners are properly trained in safe working practices to minimise the risk of incidents in the first place. If a problem ever does arise, we deal with it promptly and professionally, keeping you informed at every step.
What is included in a standard domestic cleaning visit?
A standard visit focuses on the regular tasks that keep a home clean and hygienic: dusting, vacuuming, mopping, bathroom and kitchen cleaning, and basic tidying of surfaces. We prioritise high-use areas such as bathrooms, kitchens and living rooms, then bedrooms and hallways as time allows. You are welcome to give us a short list of key priorities so we can tailor the visit to your needs. Tasks such as inside ovens, inside fridges or detailed window cleaning are not included by default but can be added on request.
How far in advance should I book?
For regular weekly or fortnightly domestic cleaning, booking a week or two in advance usually gives the best choice of days and times. Swiss Cottage can be a busy area, so popular slots fill quickly, particularly late afternoons. One-off or deep cleans may need a little more notice if an onsite survey is required first. If you do need urgent help, contact us and we will check current availability; even if your preferred time is not open, we can often find a practical alternative within a day or two.
Do I need to be at home during the clean?
It is entirely up to you. Many clients are at work while we clean and provide a key or arrange access via a concierge. Others prefer to be present, at least for the first visit. We have clear procedures for key holding and access, and all keys are coded securely, not labelled with addresses. If you work from home, we can clean around you, focusing on other rooms while you take calls or meetings. We will discuss your preferences during the booking so everything is organised in advance.
