Our Step-by-Step Domestic Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone, email or online form with a few details about your property: type, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, flooring and the level of cleaning you need. We’ll ask a few practical questions and then provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the time we realistically expect to need. For most homes, this can be done straight away.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger properties, deep cleans or more complex requirements, we may suggest a quick virtual survey (photos or video call) or an onsite visit. This allows us to see room layouts, levels of soiling and any special requirements, so we can allocate the right number of cleaners and time. It avoids surprises on the day and ensures fair pricing for everyone.

3. Preparation for the Visit

Before we arrive, we ask clients to:

• Ensure we can access the property (keys, codes or concierge)
• Remove or clearly separate important paperwork or valuables
• Do a light tidy where possible so we can focus on cleaning

On the day, our trained cleaners arrive in the agreed time window, walk through the property with you if you are present, confirm priorities, then work methodically through the agreed checklist.

Transparent Domestic Cleaning Pricing

We price domestic cleaning mainly by time and complexity, not by vague “from” prices that never match reality. Factors that affect your quote include:

• Property size and number of rooms
• Frequency of visits (weekly, fortnightly, monthly, one-off)
• Condition of the property on the first visit
• Any add-ons such as oven or inside-fridge cleaning

We will always:

• Explain what is included in the quoted time
• Agree any additional tasks and time in advance
• Confirm whether cleaning products and equipment are supplied by us or you

There are no hidden charges for standard domestic cleans – any parking or congestion costs, where applicable, will be discussed upfront.

Why Choose Professional Domestic Cleaning Instead of DIY

Many clients can and do clean themselves, but choose our professional service for:

• Consistency – the same high standard each visit, even when you are busy or away.
• Efficiency – trained cleaners know the quickest safe methods and products for each surface.
• Health & hygiene – focused attention on high-touch areas and proper disinfection where needed.
• Reduced stress – more time for family, work and rest while your home is looked after.
• Better results – professional techniques often reach the corners, skirtings and details that are easy to miss.

For end of tenancy and pre-sale cleans, using a recognised cleaning company also gives a clear invoice and report if an agent or landlord queries standards.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your home, belongings and peace of mind are central to how we work. Kingston upon Thames Cleaners operates with:

• Public liability cover to protect against accidental damage or injury while we are working in your property.
• Goods in transit insurance when we transport specialist equipment or materials to and from your home.
• Trained cleaning teams who receive instruction in safe product use, correct dilution, manual handling and property care.

Our cleaners follow clear checklists and are supervised by experienced team leaders, ensuring work is carried out to a consistent standard each visit.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We take care to protect your home while we clean:

• Using appropriate cloths for different surfaces to avoid scratching
• Checking colour-fastness before using products on delicate finishes
• Taking extra care around electronics, artwork and ornaments

Where possible, we use low-odour, effective products and can offer eco-friendlier options on request. We avoid unnecessary chemical use and over-wetting of floors and fabrics, which protects both your home and the environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does domestic cleaning in Kingston upon Thames cost?

Pricing depends mainly on property size, condition and how often you’d like us to visit. Smaller flats needing regular weekly or fortnightly cleans will usually cost less per visit than larger homes or one-off deep cleans. We quote based on the time realistically needed to do the job properly, not unrealistic “from” prices. Once we understand your rooms, flooring and priorities, we’ll give a clear hourly rate and estimated visit length so you know exactly what to expect, with no hidden extras.

Can you provide same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?

Same-day or urgent appointments are sometimes possible, particularly on weekdays, but depend on existing schedules. If you need a last-minute clean for a viewing, check-out or unexpected guests, it’s best to call us as early as possible so we can check live availability. When we can’t offer a full clean at short notice, we may still be able to provide a targeted tidy and refresh of key areas such as kitchen, bathrooms and living spaces within the time available.

Are your cleaners insured while working in my home?

Yes. We operate with comprehensive public liability cover and goods in transit insurance for equipment and materials. This means that in the unlikely event of accidental damage or an incident while we’re cleaning, there is proper protection in place. Our teams are also trained to work carefully and to report any issues immediately. We are happy to confirm cover levels and provide evidence of insurance if required by landlords, managing agents or businesses before work begins.

What exactly is included in a domestic cleaning visit?

A standard visit covers routine cleaning tasks: dusting accessible surfaces, vacuuming and mopping floors, cleaning bathrooms and toilets, wiping kitchen worktops, cupboard fronts and hob, plus general surface cleaning and bin emptying. We agree a clear checklist with you in advance, based on the time booked. Extras such as oven cleaning, inside windows, fridge cleans or deep descaling can be added, usually for additional time. If something is important to you, let us know and we’ll build it into your plan wherever safely possible.

How far in advance should I book domestic cleaning?

For regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks ahead to secure your preferred days and times. Deep cleans, end of tenancy and pre-sale cleans are best booked as soon as you know your dates, especially at month-end and weekends when demand is higher. That said, we always keep some flexibility in our schedule, so if you need something sooner, contact us and we’ll do our best to accommodate within our existing commitments.

Do I need to be at home when you clean?

No, you don’t have to be present during the clean if you’d rather be at work or out. Many clients provide keys, key-safe codes or arrange access via a concierge or neighbour. We log key numbers securely and never mark them with your address. At the first visit, it’s helpful if you can be there at the start or end so we can walk through your home, discuss priorities and answer questions. After that, we can usually attend independently on the agreed schedule.
