Our Step-by-Step Domestic Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & quote
You contact us by phone, email or online form with details of your property in Streatham – type of home, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and whether you need one-off or regular cleaning. We ask a few straightforward questions and provide a transparent, no-obligation quote based on the size and condition of your home and the frequency of visits.
2. Survey – virtual or onsite
For most domestic cleaning jobs, a virtual survey is sufficient. You can describe your home or share photos/videos so we can assess access, flooring types and any particular challenges. For larger houses or specialist requirements, we may recommend a brief onsite survey in Streatham to ensure we allocate the right amount of time and the right team. This helps avoid unexpected costs later.
3. Preparation before the first clean
We agree a suitable date and time, introduce your cleaner or small team, and confirm access arrangements. Before our arrival, we ask that you:
- Put away important documents, valuables and fragile items
- Clear floors where possible, especially in children’s rooms
- Advise us of any surfaces needing special care (e.g. natural stone)
On the day, our professional cleaners arrive on time, follow the agreed checklist and check in with you at the end to ensure you are happy with the results, especially on the first visit.
Transparent Pricing for Domestic Cleaning in Streatham
We base our pricing on the size of the property, the level of soiling and the frequency of cleaning, rather than a one-price-fits-all approach. This ensures you only pay for the time and level of service you genuinely need.
- Regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning is usually charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking time.
- One-off deep cleans and pre/after tenancy cleans are generally quoted as a fixed price after a brief assessment.
- Optional extras such as oven or fridge cleaning are itemised clearly.
There are no hidden charges. Parking and congestion costs (if applicable) are explained in advance. We confirm your rate in writing before the first clean, and any changes are always agreed beforehand.
Why Choose Professional Domestic Cleaners Instead of DIY
Cleaning your own home is possible, but working with trained domestic cleaners offers clear advantages:
- Consistent standards – we follow a structured checklist so areas are not missed.
- Time saving – regular visits free up your evenings and weekends.
- Better results – we know which methods work best on different surfaces and finishes.
- Hygiene – bathrooms and kitchens are cleaned more thoroughly and regularly.
- Reliability – cover arranged for holidays or sickness so you are not left without support.
Because this is our profession, not a hobby, we approach every home with the same care, attention and professional standards you would expect from any skilled trade.
Insurance, Training and Professional Standards
Streatham Cleaners is fully committed to operating safely and responsibly in your home.
- Fully insured – We hold comprehensive public liability cover to protect you and your property during our visits.
- Goods in transit insurance – Where we transport cleaning equipment and materials, these are appropriately insured while on the move.
- Trained cleaning teams – All cleaners receive practical training in safe product use, correct dilution, colour coding and surface protection.
- Health & safety – We follow sensible risk assessments, especially in bathrooms, kitchens and stair areas.
Our cleaners are briefed on confidentiality and respect for your home, and we can work under your own house rules where needed – for example, alarm systems, key handling and pet care instructions.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every property as if it were our own. That means taking care not to damage surfaces, finishes or personal belongings while still delivering a high level of cleanliness.
- We use colour-coded cloths and mops to avoid cross-contamination between bathrooms and kitchens.
- We select products suitable for your surfaces, including delicate worktops and flooring.
- Where possible, we offer lower-impact cleaning products and methods to reduce chemical use.
- We minimise waste by using refillable bottles and re-usable microfibre cloths.
Many clients in Streatham prefer gentler products, particularly in homes with children, pets or allergies. We can discuss options and adapt to your preferences while still aiming for a hygienic result.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does domestic cleaning in Streatham cost?
Our pricing depends on your property size, the condition of the home and how often you would like us to visit. Smaller flats needing a light weekly clean cost less than larger family homes requiring deeper or more frequent attention. We normally work on an hourly rate for regular cleaning, with one-off and end-of-tenancy style cleans priced individually. After a brief discussion or virtual survey, we provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what is included and how long we expect each visit to take.
Can you provide same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?
Where our schedule allows, we can often accommodate short-notice or urgent cleaning in Streatham, for example before guests arrive or after an unexpected spill. Availability depends on existing bookings and the scale of the work, so same-day service cannot be guaranteed, but we will always be honest about what is realistic. For larger deep cleans at short notice we may suggest a team rather than a single cleaner, or offer a partial clean focusing on priority areas such as bathrooms, kitchen and main living spaces.
Are your cleaners insured while working in my home?
Yes. Streatham Cleaners is fully insured with public liability cover, giving you reassurance if accidental damage were to occur during our work. Any cleaning equipment and materials we bring are also protected under appropriate goods in transit insurance while being transported. Our cleaners are trained to handle your belongings carefully, and incidents are very rare, but if something does go wrong we follow a clear reporting and resolution process. We are happy to share details of our cover and answer any questions about how it applies to your particular property.
What exactly is included in a standard domestic clean?
In a typical visit we focus on the regular tasks that keep your home comfortable and hygienic: dusting and wiping surfaces, vacuuming and mopping floors, cleaning bathrooms and toilets, and refreshing the kitchen, including worktops, hob, sink and appliance fronts. We also empty bins and tidy visible surfaces within reason. Inside ovens, fridges and cupboards, or specialist tasks such as carpet shampooing, are not part of a standard clean but can be added by arrangement. Before we start, we agree a checklist with you so it is clear which rooms and tasks are covered each time.
How far in advance should I book domestic cleaning?
For regular weekly or fortnightly visits, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance so we can offer the day and time that best fits your routine. Deep cleans and one-off visits can sometimes be arranged more quickly, but availability varies, particularly at busy times such as month-end moves and before holidays. Once you are an existing client, we reserve your regular slot, and if you need to reschedule we simply ask for reasonable notice. The earlier you contact us, the more flexibility we have to match your preferred schedule.
