Our Step-by-Step Domestic Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or through our website and tell us about your property: size, number of rooms, current condition and your priorities. We ask a few structured questions so we can recommend the most suitable service. Based on this information, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation and suggest a cleaning plan that fits your schedule and budget.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For straightforward homes, we can usually confirm everything via a short virtual survey or detailed phone consultation. For larger or more complex properties, we may recommend an onsite visit. This allows us to assess access, parking, any delicate surfaces and any particular concerns you have. The survey ensures we allocate the right number of cleaners and the correct amount of time for a thorough job.
3. Preparation and Cleaning Day
Before the first visit, we agree arrival times, access arrangements and any security instructions. On the day, our professional, uniformed cleaners arrive with all required materials, carry out a brief walk-through with you where possible, and then follow a structured checklist tailored to your home. At the end, we can walk you through what has been done, check you are happy, and discuss any adjustments for future visits.
Transparent Pricing Explained
We price our domestic cleaning fairly and transparently, based on the size of your home, the level of soiling and the frequency of visits. Regular bookings are typically charged at an hourly rate, with a minimum visit length to ensure a proper clean. One-off or deep cleans are priced according to the time and number of cleaners needed.
All costs are clearly confirmed before any work begins. There are no hidden charges for standard products or equipment. Any optional extras, such as oven cleaning or carpet cleaning, are itemised separately so you can choose exactly what you need.
Why Professional Domestic Cleaning Beats DIY
Cleaning your own home is possible, but working with a professional team brings several advantages. Experienced cleaners work systematically and efficiently, reaching areas that are often overlooked in a quick tidy. We use appropriate products for different surfaces, reducing the risk of damage to worktops, flooring and fixtures.
Professional cleaning also gives you consistency. When life is busy, it is easy for standards to slip; with scheduled visits from trained staff, your home stays at a higher baseline of cleanliness. Many of our clients also value the peace of mind that comes from using a fully insured and vetted company rather than informal arrangements.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As a responsible operator in Greenwich, we take protection and compliance seriously:
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to your property or injury to third parties while we work
- Goods in transit insurance – applied where we transport equipment or items, ensuring they are covered between locations
- Trained cleaning teams – every cleaner receives practical training in safe product use, manual handling and hygiene standards
Our staff are reference-checked, instructed in confidentiality and security, and supervised to maintain consistent quality. We follow clear risk assessments and safe systems of work for different property types.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every home as if it were our own. Surfaces are checked before we use any new products, and we avoid abrasive methods on delicate finishes. Where needed, we use protective materials such as floor coverings to prevent marking during more involved jobs.
Sustainability is integral to how we operate. We select products that are effective yet considerate of the environment wherever possible, use microfibre systems to reduce chemical use, and plan routes sensibly to minimise unnecessary travel. If you prefer eco-labelled products, we can accommodate this, and we are always happy to discuss what is most suitable for your home.
Local Expertise in Greenwich
Being based in the area means we understand Greenwich properties well – from period terraced houses and riverside flats to new-build developments. We are familiar with local parking restrictions, building management requirements and access arrangements, which helps us arrive on time and work efficiently.
Many of our clients have been with us for years, relying on our consistency and discretion. We build long-term relationships, adjusting the service as your circumstances change, whether that is a new baby, working from home or preparing a property for sale.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does domestic cleaning in Greenwich cost?
Pricing depends on the size of your property, how often you need us and whether you require a standard or deep clean. Most regular clients pay an hourly rate with a minimum visit time to ensure a thorough service. One-off and end-of-tenancy style cleans are usually priced as a fixed quote based on an estimated number of hours and cleaners. We always discuss your requirements in detail first, then provide a clear written quotation so you know exactly what is included before you commit.
Can you provide same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?
We can often help with short-notice or urgent cleaning, particularly on weekdays, although same-day availability depends on our schedule. If you have a specific deadline, such as a move-out inspection or a last-minute visit from family, let us know as early as you can and we will prioritise accordingly. Where same-day isn’t possible, we will offer the earliest realistic slot and can advise how many cleaners you might need to meet your timescale efficiently.
Are your cleaners insured while working in my home?
Yes. Greenwich Cleaners is fully insured for domestic work. We hold public liability insurance, which covers accidental damage to your property or injury to third parties while we are working. Where our equipment or your items are transported, appropriate goods in transit cover applies. Insurance details are available on request, and we are happy to confirm specific limits if that is important for your building management or landlord. Using an insured, established company provides an extra layer of reassurance compared with informal arrangements.
What is included in a standard domestic cleaning visit?
A standard visit usually includes thorough cleaning of kitchens, bathrooms, living areas and bedrooms: all usual surfaces dusted and wiped, floors vacuumed and mopped, bins emptied and sanitary ware cleaned. We follow a clear checklist that we agree with you at the outset, so your key priorities are covered every time. Tasks like bed-making, basic internal window cleaning and light limescale removal can also be included. Heavier jobs such as oven cleaning, carpet cleaning or external windows are available as optional add-ons, priced separately.
How far in advance should I book?
For regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning, we recommend arranging your service at least one to two weeks in advance so we can secure your preferred day and time. One-off or deep cleans are best booked as early as possible, especially around busy periods such as month-end or before holidays. That said, we do keep some flexibility for urgent requests and may be able to accommodate you at shorter notice. Once you are in our schedule, your regular slot is reserved for you on an ongoing basis.
Do I need to be at home during the clean?
It is entirely your choice. Many clients like to be present for the first visit to walk us through the property and discuss any preferences. After that, a large proportion of our regular customers provide keys or key-safe codes so we can clean while they are at work. All keys are handled securely and labelled in a way that does not identify your address. If you work from home, we can plan the clean around your calls and meetings so disturbance is kept to a minimum.
