Typical cleaning rates
Regular domestic cleaning commonly costs around £18–£35 per cleaner per hour. Deep cleans, specialist equipment, short-notice work and London or other high-cost locations may be higher.
End-of-tenancy and one-off cleans are often quoted as a fixed price based on property size and condition.
What should a quote include?
Confirm the following before booking:
- Number of cleaners and expected duration
- Whether products and equipment are supplied
- Oven, carpet, upholstery and window cleaning exclusions
- Parking or congestion charges
- Cancellation and re-clean policies
Prepare an accurate brief
State the property size, number of bathrooms, current condition, pets and priority areas. Photographs can help avoid a quote based on the wrong level of work.
