Our role is to take that pressure away with a regular, consistent and detailed home cleaning service you can depend on.

We agree a detailed task list with you before we start, so you know exactly what will be done each visit.
Who Our Domestic Cleaning Is For
We work with clients across London in all types of homes:
- Homeowners – regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning to keep your property in top condition

Whether you need a regular cleaner, occasional help, or a one-off deep clean, we tailor the service to your household routine and budget.
Local Domestic Cleaning Expertise in London
Our teams work across London every day, so we understand local housing stock, from period terraces and flats to new-build apartments and shared HMOs. That local experience helps us plan realistic cleaning schedules, manage parking and access sensibly, and allow for typical London property layouts such as narrow staircases, small kitchens and compact bathrooms.
Because we are a London-based company, we can offer flexible start times to work around school runs, commuter schedules and on-street parking restrictions.

How Our Domestic Cleaning Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone, email or online form with basic details: property size, number of bathrooms, preferred days and whether you want regular or one-off cleaning. We discuss your priorities and approximate timings, then provide a clear, no-obligation estimate based on your needs.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most domestic cleaning in London, a detailed phone or video survey is sufficient. We may ask for photos or a short video walkthrough to understand layout, flooring types and any areas requiring particular attention. For larger or more complex properties, we can arrange an onsite visit. This ensures we allocate realistic time and choose suitable products and equipment.
3. Preparation Before the First Clean
We agree a start date and time and confirm the task list in writing. You decide whether you will be home, provide keys, or arrange key-safe access. On the day, our trained, professional cleaners arrive in the agreed window with appropriate materials (or use your preferred products if requested). We walk through your priorities, then work methodically through the property. After the clean, we check key areas with you and adjust for future visits if needed.
Transparent Pricing for Domestic Cleaning
We price domestic cleaning in London either by the hour or as a fixed price per visit, depending on the service type:
- Regular cleaning – typically priced per hour, with a minimum booking length
- Deep cleans and move-in / move-out – usually fixed price based on property size and condition
Our quotes clearly state what is included, the expected duration, and any optional extras. There are no hidden fees for standard travel within our London coverage area. Parking or congestion charges, where unavoidable, are discussed upfront. We can provide invoices for landlords, businesses and managing agents on request.
Why Professional Cleaning Beats DIY
Most people can clean their own home, but professional domestic cleaning brings several advantages:
- We use efficient systems and techniques learned over many years, so we achieve more in the same time
- High-touch areas and often-missed spots are cleaned systematically, not just when noticed
- Professional products and tools deliver better hygiene and longer-lasting results
- You gain back hours each week without sacrificing cleanliness or comfort
- Independent landlords and businesses benefit from documented, regular cleaning for compliance and presentation
In a busy London household, consistent, professional cleaning can make the difference between always catching up and genuinely staying on top of things.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your home and belongings are important, and we treat them that way. Deep Deep Cleaning operates with:
- Public liability cover – to protect against accidental damage to your property while we are working
- Goods in transit insurance – for cleaning equipment and supplies we bring to and from your home
- Trained cleaning teams – staff are thoroughly vetted, inducted and supervised
Our cleaners are professional in conduct and appearance, and we follow clear processes for key holding, alarm codes and privacy. Any incident, however minor, is recorded and handled transparently.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We take care not just with cleanliness, but also with how we work in your home:
- Using colour-coded cloths and mops to prevent cross-contamination between bathrooms, kitchens and general areas
- Protecting delicate surfaces by using suitable products and test patches where needed
- Using microfibre and refillable bottles to reduce waste where possible
- Offering eco-friendlier product options on request, suitable for homes with children, pets or allergies
We aim to balance effective cleaning with sensible environmental choices, without compromising hygiene or safety.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does domestic cleaning in London cost?
Costs vary depending on the size of your property, how often we visit and whether you need standard or deep cleaning. Regular weekly or fortnightly visits are usually charged by the hour with a minimum booking length, while one-off deep cleans and move-in / move-out cleans are often priced as a fixed fee. During your enquiry, we ask a few practical questions and then provide a clear, itemised quotation so you know exactly what you will pay before any work starts.
Can you provide same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?
Where schedules allow, we do our best to help with same-day or short-notice domestic cleaning in London. Availability depends on your location, the size of the job and the time of your call. Urgent bookings are usually better suited to one-off or partial cleans (for example, just kitchen and bathroom) rather than a full top-to-bottom service. If we cannot meet your timescale, we will offer the earliest alternative and explain clearly what can realistically be achieved within the time available.
Are you insured while working in my home?
Yes. Deep Deep Cleaning is fully insured to work in domestic properties. We hold public liability cover for accidental damage or injury while we are on-site, and goods in transit insurance for our equipment and materials. Our cleaners are trained to follow safe working practices and to report any issues immediately. We take key holding and security seriously, and access arrangements are documented. If you ever have a concern about insurance or safety, we are happy to share policy details and answer specific questions.
What exactly is included in a domestic cleaning service?
Domestic cleaning focuses on the regular tasks needed to keep your home fresh, hygienic and presentable. This typically includes dusting, wiping and polishing surfaces; cleaning kitchens and bathrooms; vacuuming carpets and rugs; and mopping hard floors. We also empty indoor bins, tidy obvious clutter and make beds if requested. Before we start, we create a task list tailored to your property and priorities, so you know what is covered each visit. More intensive jobs such as oven cleaning or inside cupboards can be added as extras.
How far in advance should I book?
For regular domestic cleaning in London, we recommend booking at least a week or two ahead to secure your preferred day and time, especially if you need early morning or evening slots. One-off and deep cleans can sometimes be arranged more quickly, but availability will depend on the size of your property and our existing schedule. If you have a fixed deadline, such as moving dates or guests arriving, let us know as soon as possible so we can plan enough time to complete the work properly.
Do I need to be at home during the clean?
No, it is your choice. Many clients prefer to be present for the first visit to walk through expectations and then provide keys or key-safe access thereafter. Others are home throughout. If we hold keys, we follow a documented key management process and never label keys with your full address. Whichever option you choose, we agree it in writing beforehand and can adjust it later if your routine changes.
