How Our House Cleaning Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone, email or online form with a brief description of your property and what you need. We’ll ask a few simple questions: number of bedrooms and bathrooms, level of cleanliness, whether you want a one-off deep clean or regular maintenance clean, and any special priorities. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually the same day.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For most standard homes, we can assess everything via a short call and, if helpful, photos or a quick video walk-through. For larger properties or more complex jobs (for example, heavy build-up, post-renovation, or combined cleaning and oven work), we may arrange a brief onsite survey. This ensures we allow the right time, products and team members for your clean.

3. Preparation Before We Arrive

To achieve the best result efficiently, we ask that:

• Floors and surfaces are reasonably clear of clutter where possible.
• Valuables and fragile items are put safely aside.
• Pets are secured in a separate room if they are likely to be anxious.

On the day, our professional team arrives in the agreed time window, brings all necessary products and equipment, walks through priorities with you, and then gets straight to work.

Transparent Pricing for House Cleaning in Merton

We price our house cleaning fairly and clearly, based primarily on the size of the property, the current condition and the type of clean required.

• Regular cleaning – Usually charged by the hour with a minimum visit length, with discounts for ongoing weekly or fortnightly bookings.
• One-off and deep cleans – Typically a fixed price for the job, agreed in advance, based on estimated time and scope.
• Optional add-ons – Oven cleaning, fridge interiors, inside cupboards or extra bathrooms priced separately so you only pay for what you need.

There are no hidden fees for normal travel within Merton. Any additional costs (for example, parking where no free option is available) will be discussed beforehand.

Why Choose Professional Cleaning Instead of DIY?

Doing your own cleaning is possible, but many clients find professional help more practical and cost-effective in the long run. As trained cleaners, we:

• Use professional-grade products and equipment for better, longer-lasting results.
• Know how to tackle limescale, grease and embedded dirt without damaging surfaces.
• Work systematically, so whole rooms are completed to a consistent standard.
• Save you several hours each week that you can spend on work, family or rest.
• Help prevent the gradual build-up that makes deep cleaning such a chore.

Our clients often tell us they feel less stressed and more comfortable at home once cleaning is taken care of properly.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your home and possessions are important, and we take that responsibility seriously.

• We carry public liability cover to protect against accidental damage or injury while we work in your property.
• Equipment and supplies used by our teams are covered, and items we handle are protected by our policies similar in scope to goods in transit insurance while being moved around your home.
• All staff are trained in safe product use, correct dilution rates and appropriate methods for different surfaces.
• We follow clear procedures for reporting and resolving any issues promptly and fairly.

You receive a reliable, professional service delivered by people who understand both cleaning techniques and the importance of working respectfully in someone else’s home.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We aim to clean thoroughly while taking care of your property and the environment.

• Protective measures such as colour-coded cloths reduce cross-contamination between kitchens and bathrooms.
• We use non-scratch pads and appropriate products to avoid damaging delicate surfaces.
• Where appropriate, we select lower-impact, eco-conscious cleaning agents while still ensuring hygiene.
• We minimise waste by using reusable microfibre cloths and refillable bottles wherever possible.
• We can adjust product choice if anyone in your household has particular sensitivities or allergies – just let us know.

Our goal is a home that feels clean, safe and comfortable, without harsh odours or unnecessary chemical use.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does house cleaning in Merton cost?

Pricing depends on property size, frequency and how deep a clean is needed. For regular weekly or fortnightly visits, we usually work on an hourly rate with a sensible minimum visit length, agreed in advance. One-off and deep cleans are typically quoted as a fixed price based on an estimated number of hours. This means you know exactly what you’re paying before we start. Contact us with your postcode, number of bedrooms and a brief description of the current condition, and we’ll provide a clear, no-obligation quote.

Can you provide same-day or urgent cleaning?

We do our best to accommodate urgent and short-notice requests in Merton, especially for move-outs, last-minute inspections or unexpected visitors. Same-day cleaning is subject to availability and may be more limited in scope than a fully planned deep clean, but we will always be honest about what can be achieved in the time available. If we cannot attend the same day, we will usually be able to offer the next available slot and suggest priorities to help you manage in the meantime.

Are you insured while cleaning my home?

Yes. We operate with comprehensive public liability cover to protect you and us in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury while we are working in your property. Items we handle as part of the clean are protected by our policies in a way comparable to goods in transit insurance while being moved or temporarily relocated. Our cleaners are trained to treat your home with care, and any incidents are recorded and dealt with promptly and transparently, so you have complete peace of mind.

What exactly is included in a house cleaning service?

A standard visit focuses on general routine cleaning: dusting, wiping and polishing surfaces, vacuuming carpets and rugs, mopping hard floors, cleaning kitchen worktops, hobs and sinks, and full bathroom cleaning including toilets, baths, showers and basins. We also empty bins and clean mirrors and light internal glass. Deep cleaning tasks such as inside ovens, fridges, kitchen cupboards or heavy limescale removal can be added as extras. Before we start, we agree a clear task list so you know what will be done each visit.

How far in advance should I book?

For regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning, it’s best to book at least one to two weeks in advance so we can offer your preferred days and times. For one-off or deep cleans, as much notice as possible is helpful, particularly at busy times such as month-end or just before holidays. That said, we keep some flexibility for urgent requests in Merton, so even if you need cleaning at short notice, it’s worth getting in touch. We’ll always explain availability clearly and offer the nearest suitable slot.

Do I need to provide any cleaning products or equipment?

In most cases, no. Our teams bring their own professional cleaning products, cloths, mop systems and vacuum cleaners. This ensures we know exactly how products behave on different surfaces and can achieve consistent, reliable results. If you prefer us to use a particular product due to allergies, sensitivities or personal preference, we are happy to discuss this and, where appropriate, use items provided by you. Just let us know at the booking stage so we can plan the visit correctly.
