Our Step-by-Step House Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact us by phone, email or our online form. We will ask a few straightforward questions about your property size, number of rooms, current condition, and what you would like done. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote. For regular cleaning, we also confirm how often you would like us to visit and any specific preferences, such as products or access instructions.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most standard house cleans in Catford, a quick virtual survey (photos or video call) is sufficient. For larger properties, deep cleans or end of tenancy jobs, we may recommend a short onsite visit. This lets us check access, parking, floor types, and any delicate items that need special care. The survey ensures we allocate the right number of cleaners, time, and equipment to do the job properly the first time.
3. Preparation & Cleaning Day
Before arrival, we confirm your booking, arrival window and any keys or codes needed. On the day, our trained cleaners arrive in uniform with all necessary materials. We walk through the property with you where possible, confirm priorities, and then work systematically room by room. High-touch areas, kitchens and bathrooms are given particular attention. At the end, we check everything against the agreed checklist and invite you to inspect before we leave.
Transparent Pricing for House Cleaning in Catford
We price our house cleaning fairly and transparently based on:
- Property size and number of rooms
- Level of soiling and how long since last professional clean
- Frequency – one-off, weekly, fortnightly, or monthly
- Any add-on services such as oven, carpets or upholstery
Regular cleaning is usually charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking time, while one-off deep cleans are typically quoted per job. All prices are agreed in advance, with no hidden extras. If, during the survey, we believe more time will be needed, we will explain why and give you options before proceeding.
Why Professional House Cleaning Beats DIY
Most of our Catford clients are perfectly capable of cleaning – what they lack is time, energy, or the right equipment. Our professional cleaners use commercial-grade products and techniques that achieve a deeper, longer-lasting clean, especially on carpets, limescale, and greasy kitchens. We work systematically, so no key areas are missed, and we know how to clean different surfaces safely without damage. By outsourcing your cleaning, you free up hours each week for work, family, or rest, while maintaining a consistently hygienic home.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As an established local company, we take responsibility for our work and your property seriously.
- Public liability cover – protects you in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury during our visit.
- Goods in transit insurance – where we transport cleaning equipment and materials to your home, they are fully covered while en route.
- Trained cleaning teams – every cleaner is vetted, inducted and supervised, with ongoing training in safe product use, surface care and data protection.
We follow clear checklists, use risk assessments where appropriate, and respect your home as if it were our own. Keys and access codes are handled confidentially and stored securely.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to deliver a high standard of cleaning while minimising our impact on your home and the environment.
- Surface protection – we always test products on a small, inconspicuous area first on delicate materials.
- Safe chemical use – cleaning agents are used at correct dilutions; we avoid harsh products unless absolutely necessary.
- Eco-conscious options – where possible, we can use more environmentally friendly products if requested.
- Waste reduction – we minimise disposable items and use reusable microfibre cloths and mops.
Our goal is a home that feels fresh and clean without overpowering smells or unnecessary chemical use, particularly important for families with children, pets or allergies.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does house cleaning in Catford cost?
Costs depend on the size of your property, how often you’d like us to clean, and whether you need a standard or deep clean. As a guide, regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning is usually priced at an hourly rate with a sensible minimum to ensure we can do a proper job. One-off deep cleans are typically quoted as a fixed price after a short survey. We will always give you a clear written quote before you commit, with no hidden charges or call-out fees.
Can you provide same-day or urgent house cleaning?
Where our schedule allows, we do offer urgent and short-notice house cleaning in Catford, especially for move-outs, post-party cleans or unexpected visits. Same-day availability depends on team capacity and the size of the job, so it’s always best to call us as early as possible. If we can’t fit you in the same day, we’ll offer the nearest available slot and can prioritise the rooms or tasks that matter most to you.
Are you insured while working in my home?
Yes. We are fully insured to work in residential and small commercial properties. Our public liability cover protects you in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury, and our goods in transit insurance covers our equipment while we travel to and from your home. All cleaners are vetted and trained, and we follow clear procedures for key handling and security. If you’d like to see proof of insurance or risk assessments, we are happy to provide them on request.
What exactly is included in a house cleaning service?
Our standard service focuses on kitchens, bathrooms, floors and general dusting throughout your home. That means surfaces wiped, sinks and toilets cleaned, showers and baths descaled where possible, floors vacuumed or mopped, and bins emptied. We can adapt our checklist to your preferences, for example prioritising the kitchen over bedrooms, or adding internal windows and inside cupboards as an extra. Before your first clean, we’ll agree in writing what’s included so you know exactly what to expect each visit.
How far in advance should I book?
For regular weekly or fortnightly house cleaning, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance to secure your preferred day and time. One-off deep cleans and end of tenancy jobs can often be fitted in with less notice, but availability varies during busy periods such as month-end and holidays. If you have a fixed deadline, such as a check-out inspection or property viewing, contact us as soon as you know the date so we can plan your clean around it.
Do I need to be home during the clean?
No, you don’t have to be present while we clean, although many clients prefer to be there for the first visit. Once you’re comfortable with us, we can hold a spare key or use a key safe, concierge or neighbour for access. Our team is professional and fully vetted, and we have clear procedures for recording and storing keys securely. At the end of the clean, we’ll secure your property as agreed and can leave a simple checklist of what’s been completed.
