Who Our House Cleaning Service Is For
Homeowners
If you’re busy with work and family life, our routine house cleaning keeps on top of dust, grime and limescale so you can enjoy your home without spending your evenings scrubbing. We can clean while you are at work or around your schedule.
Renters
We help tenants keep their homes presentable during the tenancy and can also provide a more detailed end-of-tenancy clean if required. Regular visits reduce wear and tear and help you avoid issues at checkout.
Landlords & Letting Agents
We work with landlords and agents to prepare properties between lets, carry out post-build cleans after light refurbishments, and keep common areas in HMOs tidy and hygienic.
Businesses & Home Offices
For small offices, studios and home workspaces, we can include desk areas, meeting rooms and staff facilities in the clean, keeping the environment professional and healthy for staff and visitors.
Students & Shared Houses
Shared houses can get messy fast. We offer affordable, regular cleaning for student flats and HMOs, focusing on kitchens, bathrooms and communal areas to keep everything hygienic and fair for everyone.

How Our House Cleaning Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quotation
Contact us by phone, email or enquiry form with basic details of your property: size, number of rooms, type of flooring, and what you would like done. We’ll ask a few clear questions, then provide a transparent estimate based on the scope and frequency of cleaning you need.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most homes, a short virtual survey via photos or video call is sufficient to finalise your quote. For larger or more complex properties, we may recommend a quick onsite visit. This helps us assess access, parking, flooring types and any particular priorities, so we send the right trained team member with appropriate products and equipment.
3. Preparation Before We Arrive
We’ll confirm the date, time and agreed checklist in writing. Ahead of the first clean, we may ask that surfaces are reasonably clear of clutter so we can clean effectively. If you prefer us to work around items, that’s fine – we simply adapt the service. On arrival, we walk through your property with you (where possible) to confirm priorities and any delicate items that need extra care.
Transparent Pricing for House Cleaning in Wandsworth
Our pricing is straightforward and based on:
- Property size and layout
- Current condition and any build-up of dirt or limescale
- Frequency of visits – weekly, fortnightly or monthly
- Any add-on services requested
We typically work on a clear hourly rate with a minimum booking time, or a fixed price for one-off deep cleans. All costs are confirmed in advance, with no hidden extras. If the required time looks likely to change after the initial visit, we will always discuss it with you before adjusting anything.
Why Choose Professional House Cleaning Instead of DIY
Cleaning your own home can be time-consuming, physically demanding and easy to put off. Choosing a professional service means:
- Consistent standards – a structured checklist followed every visit
- Use of suitable products and equipment for different surfaces
- Reduced risk of damage from incorrect chemicals or techniques
- Less stress – you reclaim your evenings and weekends
- Better hygiene, especially in kitchens, bathrooms and high-touch areas
Because this is our daily work, we clean quickly but thoroughly, paying attention to the details that are easy to miss when you are rushing or tired.
Insurance, Training and Professional Standards
Wandsworth Carpet Cleaners operates to clear, professional standards designed to protect you, your home and our teams:
- Comprehensive public liability cover for accidental damage or injury
- Goods in transit insurance for any specialist equipment we bring to your property
- Trained, supervised cleaners who follow proven cleaning methods
- Uniformed staff where appropriate and clear identification
- Secure key holding procedures if you prefer cleaning while you are out
We record any special instructions for your property, including surfaces that need gentler products or items not to be moved, and we review these with new team members when we allocate your regular cleaner.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every property as if it were our own. That means:
- Using colour-coded cloths and mops to reduce cross-contamination
- Choosing effective but lower-impact products wherever possible
- Ventilating rooms while we work, where safe and practical
- Protecting delicate surfaces such as natural stone, wood and high-gloss finishes with appropriate products
- Minimising waste and reusing or recycling packaging when feasible
If you have preferences or sensitivities – for example, fragrance-free products – we will discuss options with you and adapt our approach accordingly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does house cleaning in Wandsworth cost?
Pricing depends mainly on the size of your property, how often you’d like us to visit, and whether you need a standard maintenance clean or a more intensive deep clean. We usually work on a straightforward hourly rate with a sensible minimum booking time, or a fixed price for larger, one-off jobs. After a short discussion or survey, we’ll give you a clear written quote so you know exactly what is included. There are no hidden extras – any changes are always agreed with you in advance.
Can you provide same-day or urgent house cleaning?
Where our schedule allows, we do our best to accommodate same-day or short-notice bookings, particularly for move-ins, pre-visit cleans or unexpected situations. Availability will depend on your location, the size of the job and existing commitments for that day. If we cannot attend immediately, we’ll offer the nearest available slot and may suggest a focused clean on key areas such as bathrooms and kitchen first. It’s always worth calling – the earlier in the day you contact us, the easier it is to rearrange teams.
Are your cleaners insured while working in my home?
Yes. We operate with full public liability cover, which protects against accidental damage or injury while we are working in your property. In addition, our equipment is covered by goods in transit insurance while we are travelling to and from your home. Every cleaner is properly trained in safe working methods, handling of chemicals and care for different surfaces, which helps us avoid incidents in the first place. We are always happy to confirm details of our insurance cover and provide documentation on request.
What is included in a typical house cleaning visit?
A standard visit focuses on keeping everyday areas clean and hygienic. This usually covers dusting accessible surfaces, vacuuming throughout, mopping hard floors, cleaning bathrooms and WCs, wiping kitchen worktops and cupboard fronts, cleaning the hob and sink, and emptying household bins. We can adapt the checklist to suit your priorities, for example spending more time on bathrooms or floors if that’s important to you. Tasks such as oven interiors, inside fridges, carpet shampooing and external windows are not included as standard, but can often be added or booked separately.
How far in advance should I book?
For regular weekly or fortnightly house cleaning, booking one to two weeks in advance normally guarantees your preferred day and time. For one-off deep cleans, end-of-tenancy work or pre-event cleans, a little more notice is helpful, especially during busy periods such as month-end and school holidays. That said, we always keep some flexibility in our schedule for urgent or short-notice requests. If you have a fixed deadline – for example, a move-out date – let us know as early as possible so we can reserve a suitable slot and team for you.
