Local Fulham Expertise

We are a local company, based and operating in and around Fulham. Our teams know the area, building styles and typical issues in local homes – from period conversions with delicate finishes to modern apartments with concierge access. This local knowledge helps us plan access, parking, building regulations and timings realistically, so your appointment runs smoothly and on time.

Because we focus on Fulham and nearby postcodes, we can offer more flexible scheduling, including early mornings and some evenings, along with a fast response for urgent or short-notice cleans when our rota allows.

How Our Domestic Cleaning Process Works

1. Enquiry & Transparent Quote

You can contact us by phone, email or via our website enquiry form. We will ask a few straightforward questions about your property size, number of bathrooms, flooring types and priorities. Based on this, we provide an initial time estimate and price range, clearly explaining what is and is not included. There is no obligation, and we never apply hidden charges.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most regular domestic cleans, a short virtual survey (phone or video call and, if helpful, photos) is enough. For larger homes or complex requests, we may suggest an onsite visit. This allows us to confirm the condition of the property, access, parking and any specific materials or finishes that need special care. After the survey, we confirm a fixed hourly rate and estimated duration before any work begins.

3. Preparation Before Cleaning Day

Before our cleaners arrive, we ask that you:

• Ensure clear access to rooms to be cleaned
• Secure valuables and confidential documents
• Decide whether we will use your products or provide our own

On the day, our trained, uniformed cleaners arrive within the agreed time window, carry out the cleaning plan, and check each area before leaving. For regular clients, we keep notes on preferences so the service stays consistent over time.

Our Pricing Approach

We charge domestic cleaning on a clear, competitive hourly rate, with the number of hours based on your property size and chosen service level. Factors that may affect pricing include:

• Frequency of visits (weekly, fortnightly, monthly or one-off)
• Property size and number of bathrooms
• Current condition – standard upkeep or deep clean
• Use of our professional products and equipment versus yours

There are no surprise extras: any additional work, such as inside oven cleaning or fridge cleaning, is agreed beforehand. We will always recommend the most efficient schedule for your needs, rather than the highest number of hours.

Why Professional Domestic Cleaning Beats DIY

Cleaning your own home is possible, of course, but a professional service offers several advantages:

• Consistency – scheduled visits keep standards up even when life is busy
• Expertise – trained cleaners know the right methods for different surfaces
• Time saving – you gain back hours each week for work, family or rest
• Better equipment – access to commercial-grade products and tools
• Accountability – if something is missed, we return to put it right

Many clients find that regular professional cleaning also helps protect flooring, bathrooms and fixtures, reducing wear and the need for premature replacement.

Insurance, Training and Professional Standards

Inviting someone into your home requires trust. We take that responsibility seriously:

• Fully insured – we hold comprehensive public liability cover for your peace of mind
• Goods in transit insurance – where we transport equipment and materials to your property, they are covered while on the move
• Trained cleaning teams – our staff receive ongoing training in products, surfaces, health and safety and safeguarding
• Reference checks and right-to-work verification for all operatives

If any accidental damage occurs – rare, but possible – we follow a clear, fair process to resolve it quickly through our insurance where appropriate.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We aim to protect both your home and the environment while delivering a thorough clean.

• Use of colour-coded cloths and mops to avoid cross-contamination
• Careful selection of products suitable for delicate surfaces and finishes
• Option for low-fragrance or eco-friendly cleaning solutions where suitable
• Efficient route planning across Fulham to reduce unnecessary travel
• Responsible disposal of any packaging and empty containers from our supplies

We will always discuss product preferences with you and can work with your own supplies if you prefer, as long as they are safe and appropriate for the tasks requested.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does domestic cleaning in Fulham cost?

Our domestic cleaning is charged at a straightforward hourly rate, with the total cost depending on the size of your property, how often we visit and whether you require a standard clean or a deeper, first-time clean. As a rough guide, most one- or two-bedroom flats require 2–3 hours per visit, while larger homes may need longer. After a brief discussion or survey, we provide a clear estimate before you commit, so you know exactly what to expect on your first invoice.

Can you provide same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?

Same-day or short-notice cleaning is sometimes possible, particularly in Fulham where our teams are already working nearby. Availability depends on our schedule that day, the size of your property and whether you require specialist services such as carpet cleaning at the same time. If you need an urgent clean – for example, before guests, viewings or a check-out – call us as early as possible. We will check the rota, explain what we can realistically achieve within the time available and confirm the cost before you decide.

Are you insured while working in my home?

Yes. We carry public liability insurance covering accidental damage or injury linked to our work, along with goods in transit insurance for our equipment on the way to your property. All cleaners are trained in safe working practices to minimise risk, and incidents are very rare. However, if something does happen, we follow a clear reporting and resolution process. We always recommend that clients store high-value or irreplaceable items safely, simply as good practice in any home, regardless of who is cleaning.

What is included in a standard domestic clean?

A standard domestic clean focuses on the regular tasks that keep your home looking presentable and hygienic. This usually covers dusting and wiping surfaces, cleaning bathrooms and toilets, cleaning kitchen worktops and appliance exteriors, vacuuming carpets and rugs, and mopping hard floors. We can also make beds and tidy main living areas if requested. Inside ovens, inside fridges, internal windows at height and carpet shampooing are not included as standard but can be added as extra services. We agree a clear task list with you before starting so expectations are aligned.

How far in advance do I need to book?

For regular weekly or fortnightly domestic cleaning, we recommend arranging your first visit at least one week in advance to secure your preferred day and time. During particularly busy periods, such as just before holidays, additional notice is helpful. One-off or deep cleans can often be fitted in more flexibly, depending on our schedule and the size of your property. If you have a fixed deadline, such as a move-out date or property viewing, let us know as early as possible so we can plan enough time to complete the work properly.

Do I need to be at home while you clean?

It is entirely up to you. Many clients prefer to be present for the first clean to walk us through the property and discuss priorities, then provide keys or access codes for future visits. We have secure procedures for key handling and clear records of who holds which keys. If you are not at home, we follow the agreed checklist and lock up on leaving. Some clients choose to work from a different room while we clean; we are used to working quietly and respectfully around daily life.
