• Bathroom cleaning – toilets, baths, showers, sinks and taps
• Kitchen cleaning – worktops, hobs, sinks, cupboard fronts and splashbacks
• Wiping doors, light switches and commonly touched areas
• Emptying household bins and replacing liners (where provided)
• Spot-cleaning marks on walls and skirting (where safe to do so)

We also offer additional service variations such as:

• Deep cleaning for kitchens, bathrooms and high-use areas
• End of tenancy cleaning for landlords, tenants and agents
• After-builders cleaning to remove dust and construction residue
• Upholstery and carpet cleaning using specialist equipment

Who Our Domestic Cleaning in Streatham Is For

We work with a wide range of clients across Streatham, each with slightly different needs. Our service is ideal for:

Homeowners

Whether you live in a period terrace or a modern flat, regular cleaning keeps your home presentable, protects surfaces and saves you time. We can work while you are at home or out, depending on your preference.

Renters

Keeping a rented property clean helps protect your deposit and maintain a good relationship with your landlord. We can provide regular cleans or a one-off pre-inspection or move-out clean when needed.

Landlords and Letting Agents

Clean, fresh-smelling properties are easier to let and maintain. We support landlords with pre-tenancy and post-tenancy cleans and can set up scheduled visits for HMOs or multi-let properties.

Businesses and Home Offices

Many clients work from home or run small businesses from residential spaces. We offer discreet, flexible cleaning for home offices and live–work properties, ensuring work areas are hygienic and organised.

Students and Shared Houses

Shared properties can quickly become hard to manage. We provide rota-friendly cleaning visits for student houses and flat shares in Streatham, keeping communal areas hygienic and preventing cleaning disagreements.

Local Expertise in Streatham

Based in Streatham, we know the local housing stock, from Victorian conversions to new-build developments and council-managed estates. This local knowledge helps us plan access, parking and timing so that your cleaning visit runs smoothly.

We understand the realities of busy London life – commuting, shift work, school runs and small living spaces. Our scheduling is flexible, and our cleaners are used to working around everyday family routines, pets and home offices.

How Our Domestic Cleaning Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

You can contact us by phone, email or via our online form. We will ask a few straightforward questions about your property – size, number of bathrooms, current condition and how often you would like us to attend. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote that explains what is included and the likely time needed.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most domestic cleans, a short virtual survey is sufficient. You can describe your home, and if necessary we may ask for a quick video call or photos of particular areas. For larger properties or more complex jobs (such as deep cleans after building work), we can arrange an onsite visit in Streatham to confirm timings and costs accurately.

3. Preparation Before the First Clean

We agree a start date and time that suits you. Before the first visit, we confirm access arrangements, alarm codes if relevant, and any areas that are off-limits. On the day, our trained cleaner or team arrives on time with the necessary products and equipment. We walk through the property with you if you are present, agree priorities, and then get to work methodically from top to bottom.

Transparent Pricing and How We Charge

We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Domestic cleaning is usually charged:

• By the hour for regular weekly or fortnightly visits
• As a fixed price for one-off deep cleans or end of tenancy cleans

Our rates reflect the time required, the level of work involved and whether specialist products or equipment are needed. There are no hidden charges – any extra services (such as inside ovens or fridges, or full carpet cleaning) are clearly listed and quoted in advance.

We can work with your budget by adjusting visit length or frequency, while still maintaining sensible cleaning standards. All pricing is confirmed in writing before we begin.

Why Professional Cleaning Beats DIY

Many clients are perfectly capable of cleaning their own homes but choose not to for practical reasons. Professional cleaning offers:

• Consistency – the work is done thoroughly, on time, every time
• Efficiency – experienced cleaners work methodically and quickly
• Professional products and methods that are appropriate for different surfaces
• Health benefits – reduction of dust, allergens and bacteria
• Time back for work, family and rest

DIY cleaning often gets pushed to evenings and weekends, and deep cleaning is easily postponed. A regular professional service keeps on top of things so your home never gets to the point of feeling overwhelming.

Insurance and Professional Standards

As a long-standing local company, we take protection and standards seriously. Streatham Carpet Cleaners is:

• Fully insured for domestic work in clients’ homes
• Covered by public liability insurance, protecting you and your property
• Equipped with goods in transit insurance for our professional equipment and materials
• Staffed by trained, reference-checked and supervised cleaners

We follow clear procedures for key holding, alarm codes and access, and we take confidentiality seriously. If anything is ever damaged or not completed to the standard agreed, we address it promptly and professionally.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every property with care. During each visit we:

• Use appropriate products for each surface to avoid damage
• Protect delicate items and avoid moving fragile belongings unnecessarily
• Use colour-coded cloths and equipment to prevent cross-contamination between rooms

We are mindful of our environmental impact. Where possible, we select lower-impact, professional-grade products and avoid unnecessary waste. If you prefer us to use your own eco-labelled products, we are happy to work with those, provided they are suitable for the tasks required.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does domestic cleaning in Streatham cost?

Pricing depends on the size of your property, how often you’d like us to visit and whether it’s a standard or deep clean. Most regular clients pay an hourly rate with a minimum booking length, while one-off and end of tenancy cleans are usually quoted as a fixed price. During your enquiry we’ll ask a few questions about your home and provide a clear written quote with no hidden extras. We’re happy to suggest options to suit your budget, such as adjusting visit length or frequency.

Can you provide same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?

Where our schedule allows, we do our best to accommodate urgent and short-notice bookings in Streatham, particularly for move-outs, inspections or unexpected visitors. Same-day service cannot always be guaranteed, especially during busy periods, but we will always offer the nearest available slot and an honest assessment of what can be achieved in the time. For the best chance of a same-day clean, contact us as early in the day as possible and be ready to share details of your priorities.

Are you insured while working in my home?

Yes. We are a fully insured domestic cleaning company. Our public liability cover protects you and your property while we are working on site, and our goods in transit insurance covers our professional equipment and materials in between jobs. All cleaners are trained to follow safety procedures and to report any issues immediately. Incidents are rare, but if something does go wrong, we handle it transparently and in line with our insurance and company policies.

What exactly is included in a domestic cleaning visit?

A standard visit covers the main living areas, kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms and circulation spaces. We dust, vacuum and mop floors, clean surfaces, sanitise bathroom fixtures, and wipe kitchen worktops, hobs and cupboard fronts. We also empty bins and clean internal glass where safe and reachable. Before we start, we agree a task list and priorities with you, so time is used where it matters most. Additional items such as inside ovens, inside fridges or full carpet cleaning can be added for an agreed extra cost.

How far in advance do I need to book?

For regular domestic cleaning, most clients book at least one to two weeks in advance so they can secure a preferred day and time. One-off and end of tenancy cleans are best booked as soon as you know your dates, particularly around month-end and holiday periods when demand is higher. That said, we always keep some flexibility in our schedule and may be able to offer short-notice appointments in Streatham. The sooner you contact us, the more options we can usually provide.

Do I need to be at home during the clean?

It’s entirely up to you. Many clients prefer to be present for the first visit to walk us through the property and discuss priorities. After that, most are happy to provide keys or access codes so we can clean while they are out. We operate strict key-holding and security procedures, and all staff are vetted and professional. If you work from home, we can work quietly around you and avoid important calls or meetings where possible.
