Our Step-by-Step House Cleaning Process
We follow a simple, structured process to keep everything clear and predictable from the start.
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact us by phone, email or enquiry form. We will ask a few questions about your property size, number of rooms, type of flooring and what you would like done. Based on this, we provide a transparent quotation outlining what is included, how long it is likely to take and how often you would like us to visit for regular services.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger or more complex properties, we may suggest a short video call or an onsite survey. This allows us to see the layout, understand access, identify any delicate surfaces and discuss particular requirements. The aim is to avoid surprises on the day and to ensure sufficient time and staff are allocated.
3. Preparation & Cleaning Day
Before we arrive, we ask that you secure valuables and let us know about pets or alarms. On the day:
- Our professional cleaners arrive in uniform, with all agreed materials and equipment.
- We walk through any priorities or concerns with you if you are at home.
- The team works systematically, room by room, following our agreed checklist.
- At the end, we carry out a quick check and invite feedback so we can adjust future visits if needed.
Transparent House Cleaning Prices in Richmond
We aim to keep pricing straightforward and honest. Most house cleaning in Richmond is charged on an hourly basis, with a minimum booking time to ensure we can complete a proper job. Larger one‑off deep cleans or end of tenancy cleans may be priced per job based on the size and condition of the property.
Your quote will clearly state:
- Hourly rate or fixed price
- Estimated duration
- What is included in the service
- Any optional extras requested
There are no hidden fees. Parking and congestion charges are discussed in advance where applicable.
Why Choose Professional House Cleaning Over DIY?
Many of our clients are perfectly capable cleaners but simply don’t have the time, energy or specialist products to keep on top of everything. A professional house cleaning service brings several advantages:
- Consistent standards – the same tasks completed properly every visit.
- Time saved – freeing you for work, family or rest rather than chores.
- Professional products – suitable for different surfaces and soils.
- Attention to detail – areas such as skirtings, switches and edges often missed in quick DIY cleans.
- Accountability – you are covered by our insurance and company standards, not relying on ad‑hoc arrangements.
Insurance, Training and Professional Standards
Inviting cleaners into your home requires trust. We take that responsibility seriously:
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to your property while we are working.
- Goods in transit insurance – where we transport our cleaning equipment and products to and from your home, they are properly insured.
- Trained cleaning teams – our staff receive practical training in safe product use, colour‑coding, cross‑contamination control and care for delicate surfaces.
- Reference and right‑to‑work checks on all staff.
We work to clear methods and risk assessments, and we are always happy to discuss particular concerns, such as antiques, special finishes or home‑working areas with sensitive equipment.
Care, Protection and Sustainable Cleaning
We balance effective cleaning with care for your home and the environment. Where practical, we use low‑odour, low‑toxicity products and microfibre systems to reduce chemical use. We select products compatible with your surfaces to avoid damage to floors, stone, wood or specialist finishes.
Our team is trained to:
- Use the right cloths and mops for each area to prevent cross‑contamination.
- Avoid oversaturating wooden floors and delicate materials.
- Ventilate rooms appropriately while working.
- Dispose of waste responsibly, following local guidelines.
If you have allergies, asthma or preferences such as fragrance‑free cleaning, let us know and we will adapt where possible.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does house cleaning in Richmond cost?
Pricing depends on the size of your property, the level of service required and how often you would like us to visit. Regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning is usually charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking time, while one‑off deep cleans or end of tenancy cleans are typically quoted as a fixed price. We will ask a few simple questions about your home and provide a clear, no‑obligation quote before any work is booked, so you know exactly what to expect.
Can you provide same-day or urgent house cleaning?
Where our schedule allows, we do our best to accommodate urgent and short‑notice requests, such as last‑minute viewings, move‑outs or unexpected visitors. Same‑day appointments are not always possible, especially in busy periods, but it is always worth calling to check availability. If we cannot offer a full clean at short notice, we may be able to provide a focused tidy and refresh of key areas such as kitchens and bathrooms so your property is presentable when you need it.
Are your cleaners insured?
Yes. Our service is fully supported by public liability cover to protect against accidental damage to your property while we are working. Our equipment and products are covered by goods in transit insurance as they are transported to and from your home. All cleaning is carried out by trained staff working to agreed procedures, and any incidents are handled promptly and professionally. We are always happy to explain our cover in more detail and provide confirmation on request.
What is included in a standard house cleaning visit?
A standard visit focuses on keeping day‑to‑day cleaning under control. This usually includes dusting, vacuuming, mopping hard floors, cleaning kitchen worktops, hob and sink, wiping cupboard fronts, cleaning bathroom fixtures, polishing taps and mirrors, and emptying bins. We also pay attention to switches, handles and other high‑touch areas. Deep cleaning tasks, such as full oven cleaning, internal appliance detailing or carpet shampooing, are not included as standard but can often be added or quoted as separate services if required.
How far in advance should I book?
For regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning slots in Richmond, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance so we can offer your preferred day and time. One‑off deep cleans, move‑in and move‑out cleans are best arranged as early as possible, especially at the end of the month and during peak moving periods. That said, our schedule does change, and we sometimes have short‑notice availability, so please get in touch even if your timescales are tight.
