Our Domestic Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quotation
Contact us by phone, email or our online form with a few details about your property: size, number of bathrooms, pets, and how often you’d like us to visit. We’ll ask the right questions to understand your priorities and then provide a clear, no-obligation quotation. For regular cleaning, we’ll outline the scope of work and suggested frequency so you know exactly what to expect.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most homes, a brief virtual survey (via photos or video call) is enough to confirm the quote and cleaning plan. For larger or more complex properties, or for deep cleans and end-of-tenancy jobs, we may recommend a short onsite visit. This allows us to check access, parking, and any specific requirements or delicate items. The aim is to ensure our team arrives fully prepared on the day.
3. Preparation & Cleaning Day
Before your first clean, we’ll confirm the date, arrival window and agreed checklist. On the day:
- Our trained, professional cleaners arrive in uniform with all necessary products and equipment (unless you prefer we use your own).
- We walk through the property with you (where possible) to confirm priorities and access.
- High-traffic and hygienically sensitive areas are tackled first.
- We complete the agreed checklist, then invite you to inspect the work if you’re home.
Transparent Pricing for Domestic Cleaning in Merton
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Our domestic cleaning is usually priced by the hour, with a minimum booking time to ensure we can do a proper job. Rates depend on:
- Property size and number of bathrooms
- Condition of the property (standard clean vs deep clean)
- Frequency – weekly, fortnightly or one-off
- Any add-on services requested
We’ll always confirm the hourly rate and estimated time before work starts. For regular clients, once we’ve completed the first clean, we can fine-tune timings so you’re only paying for the time genuinely required.
Why Choose Professional Domestic Cleaning Instead of DIY
Most of our clients are perfectly capable of cleaning their homes; they simply don’t have the time or energy to do it to the standard they want. Using a professional service offers several advantages:
- Consistent quality – scheduled cleans mean your home doesn’t slip when life gets busy.
- Professional products and methods – we use appropriate solutions and equipment for different surfaces, reducing wear and damage.
- Hygiene and allergy control – better dust removal, attention to high-touch points, and targeted cleaning for pet households.
- Time saved – free up evenings and weekends for family, work or rest.
- Accountability – with a professional company you have clear standards, insurance and a point of contact if anything is not right.
Insurance, Safety and Professional Standards
Your home and belongings are treated with care at every visit. As a reputable local firm, we maintain:
- Public liability cover – protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury while we are working in your home.
- Goods in transit insurance – for any items we may transport for specialist offsite cleaning.
- Trained cleaning teams – every cleaner is trained in product use, safe working practices and respect for client privacy.
Our staff are vetted and supervised, and we follow clear procedures for key holding, alarm codes and confidentiality. You can trust us to work safely in your home even when you are not present.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We clean as if it were our own home. That means:
- Using colour-coded cloths and mops to avoid cross-contamination between kitchens, bathrooms and living areas.
- Testing products on a small, inconspicuous area where there is any doubt about a surface.
- Moving and replacing items carefully rather than cleaning around them whenever time allows.
We are also mindful of our environmental impact. Wherever practical, we choose concentrated, lower-toxicity cleaning products, reduce unnecessary packaging, and optimise our routes around Merton to cut down on travel. If you prefer eco-friendly products only, we can build this into your cleaning plan.

Based in Merton, we know the area, housing stock and local expectations well – from flats and maisonettes to larger family homes.

Being local means we can offer more flexible arrival windows, respond quickly to short-notice requests, and keep a consistent team for your property wherever possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does domestic cleaning in Merton cost?
Pricing depends on the size and condition of your home, plus how often you’d like us to visit. We usually work on an hourly rate with a minimum booking time, and we’ll estimate how many hours are required based on the information you provide. Regular weekly or fortnightly visits are often more cost-effective than one-off cleans because the work is more predictable. We’ll always give you a clear quotation in advance so you can decide what fits your budget.
Can you provide same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?
Where our schedule allows, we do our best to accommodate same-day or short-notice requests, especially for move-ins, move-outs or unexpected events. Availability depends on existing bookings and the size of the job, but as a local Merton company we can often respond faster than national agencies. If you need urgent cleaning, call us directly so we can check our diary in real time and advise what is realistically possible, including whether we can send a full team or a reduced crew.
Are you insured while working in my home?
Yes. We operate with comprehensive public liability cover to protect you in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury during our work. Where items are taken offsite for specialist treatment, they are covered under our goods in transit insurance. Beyond insurance, our cleaners are trained to work carefully, respect your property and follow agreed instructions. If you ever have any concerns, you can speak directly to the office for a prompt, practical resolution.
What is included in a standard domestic cleaning visit?
A standard visit focuses on regular maintenance: dusting, vacuuming, mopping, cleaning of bathrooms and toilets, and wiping kitchen surfaces and appliance fronts. We also clean sinks, taps, mirrors and common touch points such as door handles and light switches. Tasks like changing bed linen, emptying bins and tidying surfaces can be included if requested in advance. Deep-clean tasks, inside cupboards, full oven cleaning and carpet or upholstery cleaning are treated as add-ons so that you only pay for what you actually need.
How far in advance should I book?
For regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning, it’s best to book at least one to two weeks in advance so we can reserve a suitable time slot and assign a consistent cleaner. One-off and deep cleans can sometimes be fitted in sooner, depending on our schedule and the size of your property. Around busy periods such as bank holidays and end-of-tenancy peaks, we recommend booking earlier. If you have fixed dates, let us know as soon as possible so we can plan around them.
