Service Variations Available

We offer several options so you can choose the level of support that suits you:

Regular maintenance house cleaning – weekly, fortnightly or monthly visits with the same trusted cleaner where possible.
Deep cleaning – a more intensive clean including inside cupboards, heavy limescale removal, and detailed attention to neglected areas.
End of tenancy cleaning – checklist-based cleans to meet agent and landlord expectations, with optional professional carpet cleaning.
One-off or spring cleaning – a thorough reset after building works, illness, parties or simply when life’s taken over.

What’s Excluded from Standard House Cleaning

To keep our pricing clear and fair, certain tasks are not included in a normal house clean but can sometimes be added or quoted separately:

External window cleaning above ground floor level
Cleaning of roof spaces, lofts or external outbuildings
Heavy rubbish removal or clearance services
Professional oven cleaning (internal disassembly)
Deep stain removal from carpets and upholstery (covered by our dedicated professional carpet cleaning service)
Work at height requiring ladders beyond standard step ladders

If you’re unsure whether a task is included, simply mention it when you contact us – we’ll confirm honestly what we can and can’t do on a normal visit.

Our Step-by-Step House Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You can call, email or complete our online form with a few details about your property in Streatham – number of bedrooms, bathrooms and any particular concerns (for example pets, heavy limescale or post-building dust). We provide a clear, no-obligation estimate based on the size of the job and whether it’s a one-off or regular clean.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most standard houses and flats, a virtual survey using photos or a quick call is enough. For larger properties or more complex cleans, we may suggest a brief onsite visit in Streatham to assess access, parking, and the level of soiling. This helps us allocate the right number of cleaners and the correct products so there are no surprises on the day.

3. Preparation & Cleaning Day

Before we arrive, we simply ask that you secure valuables and, where possible, clear excessive clutter so we can clean surfaces properly. On the day, our professional team arrives on time with all necessary materials and equipment. We walk through the property with you, confirm priorities, then work systematically room by room. At the end, we invite you to check the work so we can address any small areas while we’re still on site.

Transparent Pricing for House Cleaning in Streatham

We believe in straightforward pricing with no hidden extras. Our rates are based on:

Property size and layout
Condition (light, standard, or heavy clean)
Frequency (regular visits benefit from lower effective rates)
Any add-on services such as carpet cleaning or deep oven cleaning

Once we’ve gathered the necessary information, we’ll give you a clear hourly or fixed-price quote, depending on the job type. If we recommend extra time, we explain why, so you can make an informed decision. We never extend the job without your approval.

Why Choose Professional House Cleaning Over DIY?

Many clients come to us after realising just how much time and effort a thorough clean takes. A professional house clean offers several advantages:

Experienced cleaners who know how to tackle limescale, grease and built-up dust safely and effectively.
Commercial-grade equipment and products that achieve better results in less time.
A structured, methodical approach that ensures nothing important is missed.
Consistency – the property looks and feels the same after each visit.
Reduced stress and more free time, especially for busy families and professionals.

DIY cleaning has its place, but when you’re preparing for a move, an inspection, guests or simply struggling to keep up, bringing in a trained team usually works out more efficient and cost-effective.

Insurance, Training and Professional Standards

Streatham Carpet Cleaning operates to clear, documented standards to protect both clients and staff. We are:

Fully insured with public liability cover to protect against accidental damage or injury on site.
Covered by appropriate goods in transit insurance when transporting equipment and materials to and from your property.
Staffed by trained cleaning teams who receive ongoing instruction in safe product use, colour-coding and best practice.

Our cleaners are briefed to treat every home with respect, maintain confidentiality and report any concerns immediately. We use written checklists for more complex or end of tenancy cleans to ensure consistency.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We aim to clean thoroughly while caring for your home and the wider environment:

Suitable protection such as corner guards or dust sheets used where needed, particularly around freshly painted areas or delicate flooring.
Use of well-maintained equipment with proper filtration to reduce dust re-circulation.
Thoughtful product selection, favouring low-odour and environmentally conscious options wherever practical.
Efficient route planning for our Streatham-based teams to minimise unnecessary travel.

If you have allergies, sensitivities or specific product preferences, let us know in advance – we can normally adapt our approach to suit.

Because our cleaners work regularly across SW16, we can often accommodate early starts, key collections or access via concierge where required. Many of our clients come through personal recommendation within the local community.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does house cleaning in Streatham cost?

Pricing depends on the size and condition of your property, plus whether it’s a one-off or regular service. Smaller flats in good condition naturally cost less than large houses needing a deep clean. We typically charge either an hourly rate with a minimum booking time or a fixed price for specific services such as end of tenancy cleaning. Once we know the number of rooms and the level of work required, we’ll give you a clear written estimate before you commit to anything.

Can you provide same-day or urgent house cleaning?

Where our schedule allows, we do our best to help with urgent or same-day cleans in Streatham – for example, before last-minute viewings, unexpected guests or move dates that have changed. Availability depends on the day and season, so it’s always best to call as early as possible. If we can’t fit you in immediately, we’ll offer the soonest alternative slot and advise how many cleaners we can allocate to complete the work within your timeframe.

Are you insured in case something is damaged?

Yes. We are fully insured for your peace of mind. Our public liability insurance covers accidental damage or injury arising from our work, and we maintain goods in transit insurance for equipment and materials we transport. Incidents are rare because our staff are trained to handle belongings carefully, but if something does go wrong we follow a clear reporting and resolution process. We always recommend that very fragile or sentimental items are moved or pointed out before we start so we can take extra care.

What exactly is included in a standard house clean?

A standard clean focuses on visible surfaces and hygiene in kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms and living areas. This usually means dusting, wiping, vacuuming, and mopping, plus descaling and disinfecting sanitaryware. We’ll also wipe appliance exteriors and high-touch points such as handles and switches. Inside ovens, inside fridges, inside cupboards and heavy stain removal are not normally included unless requested as part of a deep clean. When you book, we’ll agree a clear list of tasks and priorities tailored to your property so expectations are aligned.

How far in advance do I need to book?

For regular weekly or fortnightly slots, it’s wise to book at least one to two weeks ahead so we can match you with a suitable cleaner at a time that works for you. One-off deep cleans and end of tenancy jobs can get particularly busy around month-end and university term changes, so earlier is better. That said, we keep some flexibility in our schedule and can often accommodate short notice bookings in Streatham. Contact us with your ideal date and we’ll confirm what’s realistically possible.

Do I need to be at home during the clean?

You’re welcome to be present, but it’s not essential once we’ve met and agreed access arrangements. Many clients provide a key, use a key safe or arrange access via building management. Our professional cleaners treat your property with respect and follow clear security procedures. If it’s your first clean, you may prefer to be there at the start and end so we can walk round together and confirm priorities. After that, most regular clients are comfortable leaving us to get on with the work.
