Our Step-by-Step Domestic Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & quote
You contact us by phone, email or via our online form. We ask a few questions about your property in Streatham, the number of rooms, pets, current condition and your priorities. Based on this information, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote for regular or one-off cleaning.
2. Survey (virtual or onsite)
For most standard domestic cleaning, a brief virtual survey or a detailed phone discussion is sufficient. For larger homes, complex requirements or move-in/move-out work, we may arrange an onsite visit in Streatham or nearby. This helps us confirm timings, access arrangements, parking and any particular areas you want us to focus on.
3. Preparation before the first clean
Once you are happy with the quote, we agree a start date and schedule. Before the team arrives, we ask that you:
- Ensure we have clear access to the property
- Secure any valuables or sensitive documents
- Make us aware of any delicate items or surfaces needing special care
On the day, our trained, uniformed cleaners arrive with the agreed equipment and products, walk through the property with you if you are present, and then work systematically through each room.
Transparent Pricing for Domestic Cleaning in Streatham
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing with no hidden extras. Our domestic cleaning is usually charged by the hour, with a minimum booking time that ensures we can clean properly without rushing.
- Regular weekly or fortnightly domestic cleaning: charged at a competitive hourly rate
- One-off and deep cleans: usually priced slightly higher due to the extra time and detail involved
- Specialist add-ons (e.g. oven clean): quoted separately in advance
Your final price depends on the size of your home, the level of soiling and how often we visit. We discuss all costs clearly before you commit, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Why Professional Domestic Cleaning Beats DIY
Many clients in Streatham start out doing all the cleaning themselves and then realise how much time and energy it takes to keep a home consistently clean.
- Professional standards – our cleaners follow structured checklists so that nothing important is missed.
- Experience with different surfaces and materials, reducing the risk of damage.
- Use of appropriate products and techniques to tackle limescale, grease and grime.
- Freeing up your time to spend with family, work or rest instead of scrubbing.
- Regular, reliable attendance, even when you are busy or away.
By bringing in a professional team, you get a better, more consistent result with less stress and effort.
Insurance and Professional Standards You Can Rely On
Cleaners SW16 operates to high professional standards for your peace of mind. Our teams are carefully vetted and fully insured.
- Public liability cover – protecting you and your property in the unlikely event of damage or accident during our visit.
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your items if we transport specialist equipment or materials that interact with your belongings.
- Trained cleaning teams – all cleaners receive induction training and ongoing guidance on safe, effective cleaning methods.
We follow clear health and safety procedures, respect confidentiality, and treat every home with care and discretion.
Caring for Your Home and the Environment
Our approach combines thorough cleaning with care, protection and sustainability:
- We test products on inconspicuous areas where needed to avoid damage.
- Delicate surfaces (such as natural stone, real wood, high-gloss finishes) are cleaned with appropriate methods.
- We can use eco-friendlier products on request, reducing harsh chemicals where practical.
- Microfibre cloths and mops are laundered properly for reuse, cutting down on waste.
- We minimise water and product use while still achieving a hygienic result.
Our aim is to leave your property fresh, safe and comfortable, without unnecessary impact on the environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does domestic cleaning in Streatham cost?
Pricing depends on the size of your property, how often you would like us to clean, and the current condition of your home. Most clients pay an hourly rate for regular weekly or fortnightly visits, with a minimum booking time so we can clean properly. One-off and deep cleans are usually priced slightly higher because they take longer and involve more detailed work. We will ask a few questions, then provide a clear written quote before you commit, so you always know the cost in advance.
Can you provide same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?
Where possible, we do our best to help with same-day or short-notice cleaning in Streatham, especially for move-outs, guests arriving, or urgent situations. Availability depends on our schedule and the size of the job. Smaller flats are often easier to accommodate at short notice than large houses. If you need urgent cleaning, contact us by phone for the quickest response. We will be honest about what we can realistically achieve in the available time and agree clear priorities with you.
Are you insured while working in my home?
Yes. Cleaners SW16 are fully insured to work in residential properties. We carry public liability cover to protect you and your home in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury during our visit. We also maintain appropriate goods in transit insurance for equipment and materials that come into contact with your belongings. In addition, our cleaners are carefully vetted and trained to handle your property with respect and care. If you would like to see proof of insurance, we are happy to provide documentation.
What exactly is included in a domestic cleaning service?
Our standard domestic cleaning covers the regular tasks needed to keep your home hygienic and presentable. This usually includes dusting, vacuuming, mopping, bathroom and toilet cleaning, kitchen worktops and hob, wiping cupboard fronts, cleaning mirrors and emptying bins. In bedrooms and living areas we focus on surfaces, floors and high-touch points. Deeper tasks such as inside ovens, fridges, cupboards, or carpet shampooing are not included as standard but can be added by arrangement. We agree a clear checklist with you at the start so expectations are aligned.
How far in advance should I book domestic cleaning?
For regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning in Streatham, it is best to book at least one to two weeks in advance so we can offer your preferred day and time. One-off deep cleans, end of tenancy and pre-sale cleans may require a bit more notice, particularly during busy periods such as month-end and school holidays. That said, we will always check our schedule for cancellations or gaps if you need something sooner. Once your slot is confirmed, we keep the timing consistent wherever possible for your convenience.
Do I need to be at home during the clean?
No, you do not have to be at home while we clean, as long as we have safe access to the property. Many clients in Streatham are at work during the day and provide a key, use a key safe or arrange access via a concierge. We have strict procedures for handling keys securely. If you prefer to be present for the first visit and then provide access afterwards, that is absolutely fine. We will agree whatever arrangement works best and is most comfortable for you.
