Our Step-by-Step House Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You can contact us by phone, email or through our website with a brief description of your property and requirements. We will ask a few questions about size, number of bathrooms, pets and the level of cleaning needed. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation outlining what is included and how long we expect the visit to take.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For regular contracts, larger homes or deep cleans, we may suggest a short virtual or onsite survey. This allows us to see the layout, access points and any delicate or high-value items that need special care. It also gives you an opportunity to show us priorities and discuss any concerns before we start, so the first clean runs smoothly.

3. Preparation Before We Arrive

We ask that you:

• Put away important documents, jewellery and valuables
• Clear obvious clutter from floors where possible
• Let us know about any broken fittings or loose tiles
• Confirm access details, alarms and parking arrangements

On the day, our professional cleaners arrive with all equipment and products, carry out the agreed tasks methodically, and check each room before leaving. For regular clients we keep a written checklist so standards remain consistent.

Transparent Pricing – How We Charge

We aim to make pricing straightforward and predictable. Most routine house cleans in Dulwich are charged by the hour, with a minimum visit length to ensure we have enough time to do the job properly.

Deep cleans, end of tenancy cleaning and combined services (for example cleaning plus carpet cleaning) are usually priced as a fixed quote based on property size and condition. The quote you receive clearly states what is included, how many cleaners will attend, and any optional extras. There are no hidden charges for products or equipment, and any parking costs or congestion charges are discussed in advance where relevant.

Why Use Professional Cleaners Instead of DIY?

Cleaning your own home is perfectly possible, but many Dulwich clients choose a professional service because:

• We use commercial-grade products and equipment for deeper, longer-lasting results
• Trained cleaners follow proven systems so nothing is routinely missed
• You gain back time for work, family and rest
• We understand how to care for different surfaces, from delicate stone to wool carpets
• Our work is covered by public liability insurance, giving extra reassurance

For many households, professional cleaning is less about luxury and more about maintaining a safe, hygienic environment with less stress.

Insurance, Training and Professional Standards

As a locally established company, we take our responsibilities seriously. Carpet Cleaners Dulwich is fully insured and operates to clear, written standards.

• Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to your property while we are working.
• Goods in transit insurance – applies when we transport professional machines or equipment to and from your home, ensuring they are properly covered.
• Trained cleaning teams – our staff receive ongoing training in product use, safe lifting, colour-coded cleaning, and the correct care of carpets, upholstery and hard floors.

We also carry out routine quality checks and encourage feedback after the first few visits so we can fine-tune the service to your preferences.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every property we enter with respect, working as quietly and carefully as possible. High-touch areas are sanitised, and protective measures are used where needed – for example, corner protectors for hoses, or extra care mats near entrances. We aim to minimise disruption to children, pets and neighbours.

Where practical, we choose concentrated, low-waste products and refillable containers. Many clients prefer standard detergents for performance; however, we can use milder or eco-labelled products on request. Equipment is maintained for energy efficiency and longevity, and we plan routes sensibly around Dulwich to reduce unnecessary travel.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does house cleaning in Dulwich cost?

Costs depend on the size of the property, how often we visit and whether you need standard or deep cleaning. Most regular weekly or fortnightly cleans are charged at an hourly rate with a minimum visit time, while deep cleans and end of tenancy services are usually quoted as a fixed price. Once we understand your home and priorities, we provide a clear written quotation with no hidden extras for products or equipment. You are under no obligation to proceed until you are comfortable with the price and scope.

Can you offer same-day or urgent house cleaning?

Same-day cleaning is sometimes possible, particularly outside peak times, but it depends on our schedule in Dulwich that day. If you have an urgent request – for example, guests arriving or a last-minute inspection – contact us by phone for the quickest response. We will check availability, discuss what is realistic in the time frame, and focus on your highest-priority areas. Where we cannot fit you in the same day, we will usually be able to offer the next available slot at short notice.

Are your cleaners insured while working in my home?

Yes. We are a fully insured company and take protection seriously. Our public liability cover is in place to safeguard you in the unlikely event of accidental damage to your property while we work. We also maintain goods in transit insurance for our professional equipment when transported to and from your home. In addition to insurance, all cleaners are trained to handle materials and machinery correctly, report any issues immediately and follow agreed procedures to keep risk as low as possible.

What is included in a standard house cleaning service?

A standard clean focuses on the day-to-day tasks that keep your home hygienic and presentable. That typically includes dusting reachable surfaces, vacuuming carpets and rugs, sweeping and mopping hard floors, cleaning toilets, sinks, showers and baths, wiping kitchen worktops and cupboard fronts, and emptying bins. We will also tidy surfaces as we go, moving items to clean underneath and putting them back. Deep tasks such as oven cleaning, inside appliances or intensive limescale removal are not included by default, but can be added as one-off or periodic extras.

How far in advance do I need to book?

For regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning in Dulwich, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance so you can secure your preferred day and time. Deep cleans, end of tenancy work and combined services are often booked earlier, especially around month-end and holiday periods when demand is higher. That said, we always keep some flexibility in our rota. If you need something sooner, contact us and we will do our best to accommodate you or offer the earliest suitable alternative.

Can I choose the same cleaner each visit?

Wherever possible, yes. Many clients value continuity, and we try to assign a regular cleaner or small team who become familiar with your home and preferences. If your usual cleaner is on holiday or unwell, we can arrange a suitably briefed replacement, or you can choose to skip that visit if you prefer. Notes are kept on your specific instructions – such as products you like used on particular surfaces – so that standards remain consistent even if we need to send a different team member occasionally.
