Everything you need to know

How much does a cleaner cost in the UK in 2026?

Most professional cleaning companies in the UK charge roughly £19 to £30 per hour in 2026, with London and the South East at the upper end. One-off jobs are usually priced as a fixed quote: an end of tenancy clean typically ranges from about £140 for a studio to £450 or more for a larger house. Our quote tool gives an instant guide price and we confirm a fixed price before booking.

Do I need to provide cleaning products and equipment?

No. Our cleaners bring professional products and equipment as standard, including HEPA vacuums for deep and after-builders cleans. If you prefer particular products, for example eco or fragrance-free, just tell us and we will use yours.

Will I get the same cleaner every time?

For regular cleaning and housekeeping we aim to send the same cleaner on every visit. If they are on holiday or unwell, we arrange cover from the same local team and brief them on your checklist.

Are your cleaners vetted and insured?

Every cleaner is identity-checked, right-to-work checked and reference-checked before joining, and every job is covered by public liability insurance. Ask us for a copy of the certificate at any time.

Do I need to be at home during the clean?

No. Many customers give us a key or a lockbox code. Keys are stored securely and coded so they can't be linked to your address.

What if I'm not happy with the clean?

Tell us within 48 hours and we will return to re-clean the areas concerned at no extra cost. For end of tenancy cleans, we re-clean any cleaning items raised in the check-out report within 72 hours.

Do you clean businesses as well as homes?

Yes. Alongside domestic cleaning and housekeeping we provide office cleaning, commercial cleaning, communal area and HMO cleaning, and post-construction cleaning on contract or one-off.

How quickly can you start?

One-off cleans can often be booked within a few days, depending on area. Regular cleaning usually starts within one to two weeks after a short home visit or video call to agree your checklist.

What is included in end of tenancy cleaning?

Oven, hob, grill and extractor cleaned inside and out; fridge, freezer and dishwasher cleaned and left open to air; all cupboards, drawers and wardrobes cleaned inside; bathrooms fully descaled with limescale removed from glass and taps; interior windows, sills, doors, frames, radiators and skirting; floors hoovered and mopped; carpet cleaning available as an add-on.

Who is end of tenancy cleaning for?

How much does end of tenancy cleaning cost?
