We can provide regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning as well as one-off deep cleans, pre-tenancy and end of tenancy cleans, and move-in / move-out cleaning to prepare a property for its next occupants.

Our team works throughout Richmond every day, from riverside flats and townhouses to family homes further out. Being local means we can be flexible with timings, understand parking and access issues, and respond quickly when you need an urgent clean.

Who Our House Cleaning Service Is For
Homeowners
If you’re busy with work, family or simply don’t want to spend your free time cleaning, our regular house cleaning keeps your home presentable and hygienic. We can work while you’re at home or provide secure key holding.
Renters
We help renters keep on top of routine cleaning and provide thorough end of tenancy cleaning to give you the best chance of receiving your full deposit back. We are experienced with the expectations of Richmond landlords and agents.
Landlords & Letting Agents
Landlords and agents use us for pre-tenancy and void property cleans to present properties at their best between tenants. We can work to your inventory and provide invoices for your records.
Businesses & Home Offices
For small businesses, home offices and live-work spaces, we offer discrete, reliable cleaning that keeps staff areas and client spaces looking professional. We can schedule visits outside of normal working hours.
Students & Shared Houses
Student houses and shared rentals often need a deeper clean, particularly before inspections or move-out. We offer flexible, fair-priced cleaning for shared properties, splitting payment between tenants if required.

Our Step-by-Step House Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quotation
You can call, email or complete our online form to tell us about your property and what you need. We’ll ask a few straightforward questions about size, number of rooms, current condition and any priorities (for example, bathrooms or kitchen focus). Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote and suggest a suitable cleaning schedule.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger homes, end of tenancy or deep cleans, we may recommend a short survey. This can be virtual (photos or video call) or an onsite visit in Richmond. The purpose is to assess access, parking, floor types and any areas needing special attention. This allows us to allocate the right number of cleaners and accurate time, so you don’t pay for more than you need.
3. Preparation & Cleaning Day
Before we arrive, we’ll confirm the appointment, arrival window and key arrangements. On the day, our professional, uniformed cleaners protect floors where necessary, bring all agreed products and equipment, and work through a structured checklist tailored to your property. At the end of the visit, we’ll walk through the work with you where possible, or leave a written summary of what’s been done and any recommendations.
Transparent House Cleaning Prices
We believe in clear, honest pricing. Most house cleaning in Richmond is charged on an hourly basis, with a minimum booking length. The rate depends on:
- Property size and layout
- Frequency of cleaning (regular bookings are more economical)
- Standard clean versus deep clean
- Any specialist tasks such as oven or carpet cleaning
Once we’ve discussed your needs, we’ll confirm the hourly rate and an estimated number of hours. For fixed-scope services such as end of tenancy cleaning, we can provide a set price based on the property. There are no hidden extras – any additional tasks or changes are agreed with you first.
Why Choose Professional House Cleaning Over DIY?
Many of our clients are perfectly capable of cleaning themselves but choose not to for good reasons. A professional service offers:
- Time savings – freeing you to focus on work, family or rest
- Consistent standards – trained cleaners follow a structured checklist
- Professional products and equipment – often more effective than supermarket brands
- Attention to detail – especially in bathrooms, kitchens and high-touch areas
- Reduced stress – especially before inspections, guests or move-out
As specialists in both carpet and house cleaning, we understand how different materials and finishes respond to various products. This reduces the risk of damage that can occur with DIY attempts and harsh chemicals.
Insurance, Training and Professional Standards
Inviting cleaners into your home is a matter of trust. We take that seriously and operate to clear, professional standards:
- Fully insured for your peace of mind
- Public liability cover in case of accidental damage or injury on site
- Goods in transit insurance covering our equipment and any items we transport
- Trained cleaning teams who understand surfaces, products and safe working practices
- Reference-checked staff and secure key-holding procedures where required
We follow clear health and safety guidelines, use products responsibly and always work with respect for your property and belongings.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to clean thoroughly while caring for your home and the environment:
- Use of microfibre cloths and colour-coding to reduce cross-contamination
- Preference for low-VOC, biodegradable products where effective
- Careful dilution and measured use of chemicals to avoid residue build-up
- Protective pads and coverings where needed to prevent scuffs and marks
- Waste disposed of responsibly, following local Richmond guidelines
If you have allergies, pets, young children or specific product preferences, we can adapt our approach and even use your chosen products if you prefer. Our aim is a clean, healthy home with minimal environmental impact.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does house cleaning in Richmond cost?
Costs depend mainly on the size of your property, its current condition and how often you’d like us to clean. Most regular clients pay an hourly rate with a minimum booking length, while end of tenancy and deep cleans are usually priced as a fixed package. After a short discussion, and where helpful a brief survey, we’ll give you a clear estimate of hours and an expected total. There are no hidden charges – any optional extras, such as oven or carpet cleaning, are quoted separately in advance.
Can you provide same-day or urgent house cleaning?
Where our schedule allows, we do offer same-day or short-notice cleaning in Richmond, particularly for end of tenancy, move-in or post-event cleans. Availability depends on existing bookings and the size of the job, so it’s best to call us as early as possible. If we can’t accommodate the full clean you’re after at short notice, we’ll often suggest a focused clean on key areas such as bathrooms and kitchen, with a follow-up visit for the remainder if needed.
Are you insured while working in my home?
Yes. We are fully insured to work in residential and small commercial properties. Our cover includes public liability insurance, which protects against accidental damage or injury on site, and goods in transit insurance for our equipment and any items we transport. All cleaners are trained in safe working methods to minimise risk, and incidents are extremely rare. We’re happy to provide proof of insurance on request, so you know your home and belongings are properly protected while we clean.
What’s included in a standard house cleaning service?
A standard clean focuses on keeping your home hygienic and presentable. We generally dust and wipe accessible surfaces, vacuum carpets and rugs, mop hard floors, clean and sanitise bathrooms, and clean kitchen surfaces, hobs and cupboard fronts. We’ll also empty bins and do basic internal window glass cleaning where reachable. Deep tasks such as oven cleaning, inside fridges and cupboards, or full internal windows are treated as extras, which you can add as needed. Before we start, we agree a task list so you know exactly what will be done each visit.
How far in advance should I book a house clean?
For regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning, a week or two’s notice usually allows us to offer you the day and time that suits you best. End of tenancy and deep cleans can book up quickly at busy times in Richmond, so we recommend getting in touch as soon as you have a fixed date. That said, we’ll always do our best to help with short-notice requests. Once your booking is confirmed, we’ll reserve that slot specifically for your property and keep you informed of any changes.
