- Dusting of surfaces, skirting boards, window sills and accessible light fittings
- Vacuuming of carpets, rugs and hard floors
- Mopping of hard floors with suitable solutions

- Light tidy-up of common areas
We also offer deep cleaning, end of tenancy cleaning and after-builders cleaning for homes that need more intensive attention.
Local House Cleaning Expertise in SE23
Working in SE23 every day means we understand the mix of Victorian terraces, purpose-built flats and modern developments in the area. We’re used to dealing with:
- High-traffic hallways and stairwells in shared properties
- Compact kitchens and bathrooms in smaller flats
- Pet hair and muddy footprints from nearby parks and green spaces
- Older properties that need more careful, gentle cleaning methods
Because we’re local, we can offer flexible appointment times, including early mornings and some evenings, and we respond quickly if you need an urgent clean before guests, check‑out or an inspection.
Who Our House Cleaning Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you want a regular weekly or fortnightly clean to keep on top of dust, limescale and day‑to‑day mess. We can work around your routine, focus on your priority areas and provide professional, consistent standards on every visit.
Renters
Whether you need a reliable ongoing clean or a thorough end of tenancy service to protect your deposit, we’ll follow your agent’s checklist and provide a clear invoice for your records. We understand the expectations of local letting agents and landlords.
Landlords
We help landlords and property managers present clean, welcoming homes between tenancies. Our end of tenancy and pre‑let cleaning ensures kitchens, bathrooms and flooring are properly cleaned so you can market the property quickly.

Shared houses can get on top of you. We provide affordable one‑off or periodic cleans to bring the property back up to standard, and thorough check‑out cleans so you can hand the place back in good condition.

How Our House Cleaning Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or online form with basic details of your property: location in SE23, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and the type of cleaning you need. We’ll ask a few practical questions about condition and access, then provide a clear, no‑obligation estimate based on your requirements.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For regular domestic cleaning, a short phone or virtual survey is usually enough. For larger homes, deep cleans or end of tenancy work, we may suggest a brief onsite or video survey. This helps us assess the level of soiling, note any delicate surfaces and confirm timings and team size accurately.
3. Preparation
Before we arrive, we ask that you:
- Ensure we can access all rooms to be cleaned
- Move fragile or valuable items to a safe place
- Secure pets where needed
On the day, our trained cleaners arrive with all equipment and products. We walk through your priorities, agree the order of work and then carry out the clean methodically, room by room. At the end, we invite you to check the property and we address any small touch‑ups straight away.
Transparent Pricing
We believe pricing should be straightforward. Our house cleaning in SE23 is typically charged:
- By the hour for regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning
- At a fixed rate for deep cleans and end of tenancy cleaning, based on property size and condition
Your quote will always state:
- The hourly rate or fixed price, including labour and standard materials
- What is included and any agreed additional services
- Estimated duration and number of cleaners
There are no hidden extras. If, during the survey, we think more time will be required due to heavy soiling, we’ll explain this upfront so you can decide how you’d like to proceed.
Why Choose Professional Cleaning Instead of DIY
Cleaning your own home is perfectly possible, but there are clear advantages to using a professional service:
- We use commercial-grade products and equipment that clean more effectively and efficiently.
- Our teams follow a systematic method, reducing the chance of missed areas.
- Regular professional cleaning helps protect fixtures, fittings and flooring, often saving money long‑term.
- For end of tenancy, a professional invoice helps demonstrate you’ve met your obligations.
- You save time and energy, freeing you up for work, family or rest.
*DIY cleaning is fine for daily upkeep, but for deep hygienic cleaning and consistent standards, a professional service makes a noticeable difference.*
Insurance and Professional Standards
As an established local company, we operate to clear standards and are fully covered for our work in SE23.
- Public liability cover – protects you and your property in the unlikely event of accidental damage while we are working.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers our professional equipment and materials while we bring them to and from your property.
- Trained cleaning teams – every cleaner is trained in product use, safe systems of work and the correct cleaning techniques for different surfaces.
We follow sensible health and safety procedures, respect your privacy and always treat your home as if it were our own.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to clean thoroughly while protecting both your home and the environment:
- Use of appropriate, low‑odour products wherever possible
- Colour‑coded cloths and mops to prevent cross‑contamination between kitchens, bathrooms and living areas
- Protective pads and care when moving light furniture or items
- Measured use of chemicals to avoid over‑application and waste
- Advice on simple, sustainable ways to keep your home fresh between visits
If you have allergies, pets or specific product preferences, let us know and we’ll adapt our approach to suit your household.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does house cleaning in SE23 cost?
Costs depend on the size of your property, its current condition and how often you’d like us to visit. Regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning is usually charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking period. One‑off deep cleans and end of tenancy jobs are priced as a fixed fee based on bedrooms, bathrooms and level of soiling. Once we know the details, we provide a clear written quote so you can see exactly what’s included before you decide.
Can you provide same‑day or urgent cleaning?
Where our schedule allows, we do our best to accommodate same‑day or short‑notice bookings in SE23, particularly for move‑outs, last‑minute inspections or unexpected guests. Availability will depend on the day and time of your enquiry and the size of the job. If we can’t fit you in immediately, we’ll offer the next earliest slot and may suggest a targeted clean focusing on your highest‑priority areas within the time available.
Are you insured while cleaning my home?
Yes. We are fully insured to work in residential and small commercial properties. Our public liability cover protects you in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury while we are on site, and our goods in transit insurance covers the professional equipment and materials we bring to your home. We also train staff in safe handling of products and careful use of equipment, which helps prevent incidents in the first place.
What’s included in a standard house cleaning service?
A standard house clean covers regular upkeep tasks: dusting, vacuuming, mopping, cleaning kitchen worktops and sinks, wiping cupboard fronts, bathroom cleaning (toilets, basins, showers, baths), and general surface cleaning. We’ll also empty small bins and carry out a basic tidy of visible areas. Inside ovens, fridges, freezers and internal windows beyond normal reach are not included as standard but can be added as extras. During booking, we’ll run through the checklist so you know exactly what to expect on the day.
How far in advance should I book?
For regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning in SE23, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance to secure your preferred day and time. One‑off deep cleans and end of tenancy appointments get busy at month‑end and around holidays, so a little more notice is helpful. That said, we’ll always check current availability and may be able to offer short‑notice slots if a team is free. The earlier you contact us, the more flexibility we can provide.
Do I need to be at home during the clean?
You’re welcome to be present, but it isn’t essential. Many clients prefer to go to work or run errands while we clean. For regular visits, we can hold a key securely or work with a key safe system agreed in advance. Before the first clean, we’ll discuss access, alarms and any areas you’d like us to avoid. At the end of the visit, we can leave a brief note of what’s been done so you know the property has been cleaned as agreed.
