What Our Domestic Cleaning Service Includes

Our domestic cleaning is designed to take the day-to-day burden off your shoulders while keeping your home fresh, hygienic and organised. We agree a personalised checklist with you, but a typical visit can include:

General areas and bedrooms

• Dusting of surfaces, skirting boards, picture frames and furniture
• Vacuuming carpets, rugs and soft furnishings
• Mopping hard floors (wood, tiles, vinyl, laminate)
• Cleaning mirrors and reachable internal glass
• Emptying bins and replacing liners (where provided)
• Light tidying of surfaces

Kitchens

• Wiping and sanitising worktops and splashbacks
• Cleaning hobs, front of appliances and cupboard exteriors
• Sink, taps and draining board cleaned and descaled where needed
• Microwave cleaned inside and out
• Floors vacuumed and mopped

Bathrooms and toilets

• Toilets, basins, baths and showers cleaned and sanitised
• Limescale removal from taps and shower fittings where possible
• Tiles and splashbacks wiped
• Mirrors cleaned and polished
• Floors vacuumed and mopped

We can also provide one-off deep cleans, end of tenancy cleaning and after-builders cleaning on request, which are more intensive services carried out to a detailed checklist.

What Is Not Included as Standard

To keep things clear and transparent, some tasks fall outside a standard domestic clean but can often be added or quoted separately:

• Professional carpet cleaning and upholstery cleaning (we can provide these as specialist services)
• External window cleaning at height
• Cleaning of lofts, external garages or outbuildings not used as part of the home
• Heavy decluttering, rubbish removal or garden work
• Animal waste removal
• Moving heavy furniture or appliances not safely movable by one person

If you are unsure whether something is included, we are always happy to clarify and, where appropriate, offer a separate quote.

Local Domestic Cleaning Expertise in Dulwich

We are a locally based company, working daily in and around Dulwich. Knowing the area well means we understand the variety of properties we look after – from period houses and garden flats to modern apartments and shared student homes.

Our cleaners are allocated regular routes so you see the same faces whenever possible. This helps build trust, ensures your preferences are remembered, and allows us to notice changes in your property that may need attention, such as areas of extra wear or high-traffic dirt build-up.

Who Our Domestic Cleaning Service Is For

• Homeowners – who want ongoing support in keeping their property clean and protected, especially busy families and professionals.
• Renters – needing regular help, or preparing for inspections and keeping up with tenancy obligations.
• Landlords – looking to maintain properties between tenancies and present a clean, well-kept home to new occupants.
• Businesses – small offices or home-based businesses that require periodic domestic-style cleaning in a residential setting.
• Students – in shared houses or halls needing affordable, periodic cleans or pre-/post-tenancy services.

We can adapt our schedule and task list to suit your type of property and occupancy.

Our Step-by-Step Domestic Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & quote

You can contact us by phone, email or online form. We will ask a few key questions about your home: size, number of rooms, flooring types and the level of cleaning required (standard or more intensive). Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation estimate for either a regular cleaning service or a one-off clean.

2. Survey (virtual or onsite)

For straightforward weekly or fortnightly cleaning, a short virtual survey (phone or video) is usually enough. For larger properties, heavily soiled homes or combined services (for example domestic and carpet cleaning), we may arrange an onsite visit. This lets us confirm timings, identify any delicate surfaces or items, and agree a realistic cleaning plan with you.

3. Preparation and first clean

Before the first visit, we confirm the agreed checklist, frequency and access arrangements. On the day, our professional cleaners arrive within the agreed window, bring cleaning materials where requested, and walk through your priorities. We then work methodically through your home, room by room, ensuring everything on the list is covered to the standard we have promised.

Transparent Pricing for Domestic Cleaning

We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Our domestic cleaning is usually charged:

• By the hour for regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning
• At a fixed price for one-off deep cleans and end of tenancy cleans

The rate depends on the size and condition of your property, and whether you prefer us to supply all cleaning products and equipment. During quotation we explain exactly what is covered and how long we expect each visit to take. If more time is needed on the first visit due to heavier build-up, we will always discuss this with you before proceeding.

Why Choose Professional Domestic Cleaners Instead of DIY

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

• Consistent standards – our trained cleaners follow a structured checklist so key tasks are never missed.
• Time saving – you regain hours each week to spend on work, family or rest.
• Better techniques – we understand how to treat different surfaces, avoid damage and extend the life of carpets, flooring and fixtures.
• Health and hygiene – regular, thorough cleaning reduces dust, allergens and bacteria, helping maintain a healthier home.
• Accountability – as a professional, fully insured company, we are responsible for the quality of our work and your peace of mind.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your home is one of your most valuable assets and we treat it with the respect it deserves. For your protection, we maintain:

• Public liability cover – safeguarding you and your property in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury during cleaning work.
• Goods in transit insurance – where we transport specialist cleaning equipment or your items (such as rugs) to be cleaned offsite, they are covered while being moved.
• Trained cleaning teams – every operative is instructed in correct chemical use, safe working practices and care of different surfaces.

We also ensure clear identification for staff attending your property and maintain key handling and alarm procedures where access requires it.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Our approach is based on careful cleaning that protects both your home and the wider environment.

• We use appropriate products for each surface to avoid scratching, dulling or premature wear.
• Where requested, we can use more environmentally considerate cleaning solutions and microfibre systems to reduce chemical use.
• Equipment is regularly maintained to ensure efficient operation and reduce energy waste.
• We minimise single-use plastics where practical and encourage concentrated products with refill options.

The result is a home that feels fresh and cared-for without unnecessary impact on materials or the environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does domestic cleaning in Dulwich cost?

Costs depend on the size of your property, the level of soiling and how often you would like us to attend. Regular weekly or fortnightly visits are usually charged by the hour, with a minimum booking time to ensure we can work properly through your home. One-off deep cleans and end of tenancy cleans are more intensive and usually priced as a fixed job. We always provide a clear written estimate before you commit, and we are happy to adjust the scope to suit your budget and priorities.

Can you provide same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?

Where our schedule allows, we do our best to accommodate same-day or short-notice cleans in Dulwich, particularly for move-outs, last-minute visits or unexpected events. Availability will depend on the day and season, so the earlier you contact us, the better the chance of securing a convenient slot. For urgent bookings, we may prioritise essential areas such as kitchens and bathrooms and agree a focused checklist to make best use of the time available. Please call rather than email for genuinely time-critical requests.

Are your cleaners insured while working in my home?

Yes. We operate as a fully insured cleaning company. Our public liability insurance covers accidental damage or injury arising from our work in your home, and we hold appropriate goods in transit insurance where items or equipment need to be transported. In addition, our cleaners receive training on safe chemical use, manual handling and care of delicate surfaces to minimise risk in the first place. If you have high-value or especially sensitive items, you can let us know during the survey so we can note any special handling instructions.

What exactly is included in a domestic cleaning visit?

A standard visit focuses on the regular tasks that keep your home hygienic and comfortable: dusting, vacuuming, mopping, bathroom and kitchen cleaning, and light tidying. We agree a room-by-room checklist with you, so you know precisely what to expect each time. Tasks such as making beds, internal fridge cleaning or inside-oven cleaning can often be added by arrangement, though they may require extra time. Specialist work like deep oven cleaning or machine carpet cleaning is treated as a separate service, which we can quote for alongside your domestic clean.

How far in advance do I need to book?

For regular weekly or fortnightly domestic cleaning, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks ahead so we can offer you a choice of days and times. For one-off deep cleans or end of tenancy work, more notice is helpful, especially at busy periods such as month-end, but we will always try to help even at shorter notice. Once your regular slot is agreed, it is reserved for you on an ongoing basis, and any changes or holidays can be discussed with our office in advance.
