How Our House Cleaning Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone, email or our online form with basic details: property size, number of bathrooms, preferred days and any priorities. We ask a few practical questions to understand the level of cleaning needed and access/parking. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote and recommend either regular maintenance cleaning or a one-off deep clean.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For standard weekly or fortnightly house cleaning, a short virtual survey is usually enough. You can send photos or a short video walk-through so we can see the layout and any specific areas of concern. For larger homes, shared houses or properties in poor condition, we may suggest a quick onsite visit to assess the time required accurately and avoid under- or over-charging.

3. Preparation & First Clean

Before your first visit, we agree your cleaning checklist, access arrangements and whether we are using your products or ours. On the day, your cleaner arrives within the agreed time window, carries out the work methodically, and feeds back any issues (damaged items, maintenance concerns, etc.). After the first clean we fine-tune the plan so each subsequent visit runs smoothly.

Transparent Pricing for House Cleaning

We price most house cleaning on an hourly basis, with a minimum booking time that depends on property size. This keeps things fair: you only pay for the time needed, not a flat fee that may not reflect your home.

Factors that affect the rate and duration include:

• Size and layout of the property
• Number of bathrooms and occupants
• Pets and level of mess or clutter
• Frequency of visits (weekly, fortnightly, monthly)
• Any add-on services such as ironing or inside-fridge cleaning

All prices are agreed in writing before work begins, with no hidden extras. Any changes to the scope are always discussed first.

Why Choose Professional House Cleaning Over DIY

Cleaning your own home is perfectly possible, but there are clear advantages to using a professional service:

• Consistent standards, even when you are busy or away
• Correct products and methods for different surfaces, reducing damage risk
• Systematic approach so areas aren’t missed or rushed
• More thorough periodic tasks such as limescale and edge cleaning
• Freeing up your time for work, family or rest

Clients often tell us that a regular cleaner keeps their home calmer, more organised and easier to maintain between visits.

Insurance & Professional Standards

We treat your home with the same care we would our own. West Hampstead Cleaners is fully insured and operates to professional, accountable standards:

• Public liability cover – Protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury while we are working in your home.
• Goods in transit insurance – Cover for your items when we are transporting equipment or materials through your property, stairwells and communal areas.
• Trained cleaning teams – All cleaners receive induction and ongoing training in safe product use, colour-coded cleaning, manual handling and security.

We operate clear procedures for key holding, alarm codes and entry/exit checks so your property remains secure.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We aim to clean thoroughly while protecting your belongings, your health and the local environment.

• Use of non-abrasive products on delicate finishes
• Colour-coded cloths and mops to reduce cross-contamination
• Eco-friendlier options available on request, ideal for families and pets
• Microfibre systems that reduce the need for harsh chemicals
• Careful use of water and energy-efficient equipment

Where possible we choose concentrated products, refillable bottles and bulk purchasing to reduce packaging waste, without compromising hygiene or results.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does house cleaning in West Hampstead cost?

Costs depend mainly on property size, number of bathrooms and how often we visit. Most West Hampstead flats and small houses are cleaned within a set minimum time, with larger homes requiring longer. We charge an hourly rate, agreed in advance, so you only pay for the time actually needed. One-off or deep cleans are usually slightly higher per hour because they are more intensive. We provide a clear written quote before any work and are happy to adjust the plan to fit a realistic budget.

Can you provide same-day or urgent house cleaning?

Same-day or next-day cleaning is sometimes possible, especially on weekdays, but it depends on current schedules. If you need an urgent clean for a viewing, move-in, or unexpected situation, contact us by phone for the fastest response. We will check which professional cleaners are nearby and what time window we can offer. In some cases, we may suggest a focused clean of key areas, such as kitchen and bathrooms, to make best use of limited time and still deliver a noticeable improvement.

Are you insured while working in my home?

Yes. West Hampstead Cleaners is fully insured for your peace of mind. We hold public liability insurance in case of accidental damage or injury, and goods in transit cover for items while we are moving equipment or working through shared areas like stairwells. Our cleaners are trained in careful handling of your belongings and safe operation of equipment. While incidents are rare, we handle any issues promptly and transparently, keeping you informed throughout. Copies of our insurance certificates are available on request before you book.

What exactly is included in a standard house clean?

A standard house clean focuses on regular maintenance tasks that keep your home hygienic and presentable. This includes dusting, vacuuming, mopping, cleaning bathrooms and toilets, wiping kitchen worktops and appliance exteriors, tidying surfaces, and emptying bins. We work from a checklist tailored to your property and priorities, so we are always tackling the areas that matter most to you. Deep tasks such as inside ovens, cupboards, fridges or heavy limescale removal are not included by default but can be added to your plan as occasional extras when needed.

How far in advance should I book?

For regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning, booking one to two weeks in advance usually gives the best choice of days and times. For one-off or deep cleans, especially around month-end or spring, earlier is better as these slots fill quickly. That said, we do keep some flexibility for shorter-notice bookings where possible. If your schedule is tight, let us know your must-have dates, and we will do our best to accommodate them or suggest the nearest available alternative that still meets your needs.

Do I need to be at home during the clean?

No, you don’t have to be present while we clean, as long as we’ve agreed secure access. Many clients are at work or out for the day. We can hold keys securely or work with concierge/porter arrangements in blocks. Before the first visit, we’ll confirm how to enter and lock up, plus where to leave the keys when we finish. If you prefer to be there initially, that’s fine too – some clients like to walk the cleaner through priorities on the first visit, then leave us to it after that.
