Our Step-by-Step Domestic Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You can contact Lambeth Cleaners by phone, email, or our online form. We will ask a few straightforward questions about your property size, number of bathrooms, preferred days and times, and the level of cleaning you require. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote detailing the hourly rate or fixed price, what is included, and any optional extras.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For most standard homes and flats, a short virtual survey via phone or video call is sufficient. For larger properties or where there are specific issues (heavy limescale, pet hair, post-build dust), we may recommend an onsite visit. The survey allows us to:

• Confirm the time needed for the first clean and for ongoing visits
• Identify any delicate surfaces or items that need special care
• Discuss access, parking, and key-holding arrangements
• Agree priorities so our cleaners focus where it matters most to you

3. Preparation

Before the first clean, we confirm your booking in writing, including date, time, and cleaner details. Where required, we can provide all products and equipment, or we can use your own preferred materials. On the day, our trained cleaner arrives within the agreed time window, walks through the property with you (if you are present), and confirms your priorities before starting work.

Transparent Pricing for Domestic Cleaning

We believe in clear pricing with no surprises:

• Regular domestic cleaning is usually charged at an hourly rate per cleaner.
• One-off and deep cleans may be priced as a fixed job once we understand the scope.
• All quotes state whether cleaning materials and equipment are included.
• Any parking or congestion charges are discussed in advance where applicable.

Prices vary based on property size, condition, and frequency of visits. More frequent cleaning generally reduces the time required per visit, making it more cost-effective. We will always explain how we have arrived at the estimate so you can make an informed decision.

Why Choose Professional Domestic Cleaners Instead of DIY?

Many clients are perfectly capable of cleaning their own homes but lack the time or energy to do it thoroughly. Using a professional service offers several advantages:

• Consistent standards – cleaners follow a structured checklist, so areas are not missed.
• Time saving – freeing you to focus on work, family, or rest.
• Professional products and techniques – more effective on limescale, grease, and built-up dirt.
• Accountability – if something is not right, we return to put it right.
• Reliability – holidays and sickness are covered by the company where possible.

For landlords and businesses, professional cleaning also supports compliance with tenancy agreements and health and safety requirements.

Insurance and Professional Standards

As a responsible cleaning company, Lambeth Cleaners operates with robust insurance and training in place to protect you and your property:

• Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to your property caused by our staff during cleaning.
• Goods in transit insurance – for occasions where equipment or materials are transported to your property, ensuring they are covered en route.
• Trained cleaning teams – all cleaners receive practical training in correct product use, surface care, manual handling, and safe working practices.

Cleaners are also reference-checked, and we can arrange for the same regular cleaner whenever possible, so you know who is coming into your home.

Care, Protection, and Sustainability

We understand that letting someone into your home is personal, and we treat that trust seriously.

• Care of belongings – we take care around electronics, artwork, and delicate items, and avoid moving heavy furniture without permission.
• Surface protection – we match products to surfaces to avoid damage to stone, wood, or specialist finishes.
• Sustainable options – where possible, we can use low-odour, eco-friendlier products and microfibre systems to reduce chemical use.
• Waste reduction – we minimise disposable materials and follow local guidance for waste separation and recycling.

Our aim is to leave your home fresh and tidy without harsh smells or unnecessary environmental impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does domestic cleaning cost?

Costs depend on the size of your property, its current condition, and how often you would like us to visit. As a guide, most regular domestic cleaning is priced at an hourly rate with a minimum booking length, while deep or one-off cleans may be quoted as a fixed price once we know the scope. We will ask a few questions about your home and priorities, then provide a written estimate that breaks down what is included so you can judge value for money.

Can you provide same-day or urgent cleaning?

Same-day or urgent appointments are sometimes possible, particularly outside peak times, but they cannot be guaranteed. If you need short-notice cleaning for a check-out, inspection, or unexpected visitors, contact us as early as you can and we will check our schedules. Where we can help, we will explain any surcharges for urgent work and confirm exactly what can be achieved in the time available, so expectations are realistic and you know what to expect from the visit.

Are you insured while cleaning my home?

Yes. Lambeth Cleaners is fully insured for your peace of mind. Our public liability insurance covers accidental damage to your property caused by our staff during cleaning. We also maintain goods in transit insurance for our equipment and materials while travelling to your home. Insurance details are available on request. While incidents are rare, knowing there is proper cover in place, combined with our training and careful approach, helps protect you, your belongings, and our team every time we visit.

What is included in a standard domestic clean?

A standard domestic clean covers the main living areas, kitchen, bedrooms, hallways, and bathrooms. Typical tasks include dusting, vacuuming, mopping, wiping accessible surfaces, cleaning sinks, toilets, baths and showers, and tidying as agreed. We also empty bins and clean mirrors and light internal glass. Inside ovens, deep carpet cleaning, and external windows are not included as standard but can often be added for an extra charge. Before we start, we will agree a checklist with you so you know exactly what we will do each visit.

How far in advance do I need to book?

For regular domestic cleaning, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance to secure your preferred day and time. Deep cleans, move-in or move-out cleans, and post-builders work are best booked as early as possible, especially around the end and beginning of each month when demand is higher. That said, we will always check for cancellations or gaps in our schedule if you need something sooner and will offer the nearest suitable slot we have available.

Can I choose the same cleaner each time?

Where possible, yes. Most clients prefer the same cleaner so they become familiar with the home and routine. We organise our schedule to provide continuity, and if your regular cleaner is unavailable due to illness or holiday, we can usually offer a replacement. You can choose to accept a cover cleaner or skip that visit. Any feedback you provide helps us match you with the right cleaner for the long term, so the service feels consistent and personalised.
