Who Our Domestic Cleaning in Greenwich Is For

Homeowners

Busy households in Greenwich rely on us to keep on top of day-to-day cleaning. Whether you work long hours, have a young family, or simply prefer to spend your free time differently, we can maintain a consistently clean and comfortable home for you.

Renters and Flat Shares

From riverside apartments to shared student houses near the University of Greenwich, we help tenants keep their properties in good order. Regular cleaning can reduce end-of-tenancy stress and help protect your deposit.

Landlords and Letting Agents

We work with local landlords and agents to prepare properties between tenancies, carry out pre- and post-tenancy cleans, and maintain communal areas in HMOs and blocks. A clean, well-presented property lets faster and attracts better tenants.

Businesses and Home Offices

If you run a business from home, host clients, or have a dedicated workspace, our team can keep it presentable and hygienic. We also look after small offices and studio spaces in and around Greenwich.

Students

Student life is busy enough without worrying about deep cleaning. We help student households stay on top of regular chores and provide thorough cleans before inspections or at the end of tenancy.

Local Expertise in Greenwich

Greenwich Cleaner is an independent, locally run company. Our cleaners are familiar with period terraces, new-build riverside flats and everything in between. We understand the quirks of local properties – from older sash windows to compact modern kitchens – and adjust our approach accordingly.

Because we operate mainly in Greenwich and nearby areas, we keep travel times short and schedule efficiently, which helps us offer a reliable, punctual service. You will usually have the same cleaner or small team for each visit, so they quickly get to know your home and preferences.

Our Domestic Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone, email or through our website with a brief description of your property and what you need. We will ask a few simple questions about the number of rooms, bathrooms, flooring types and any particular concerns. Based on this, we provide an initial estimate and available time slots, with no obligation.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For straightforward regular cleans, a short virtual survey (photos or video call) is usually enough. For larger homes or more complex jobs, we may recommend a quick onsite visit in Greenwich to assess accurately. This allows us to confirm the required cleaning time, discuss any priorities or exclusions, and agree a clear plan before we start.

3. Preparation and First Clean

Once you are happy with the quote, we schedule your clean. Before the first visit, we confirm access arrangements, alarm codes (if needed) and where to find bins, cleaning cupboard or utility areas. On the day, our trained cleaners arrive within the agreed time window, carry out the clean as discussed, and give you a brief handover. We then refine the checklist based on your feedback for future visits.

Clear and Transparent Pricing

We typically charge for domestic cleaning on an hourly basis, with a minimum booking time. The rate depends on factors such as property size, frequency of visits (weekly, fortnightly, monthly) and whether you require a standard maintenance clean or a more intensive deep clean.

Your quote will state:

• The hourly rate and estimated hours per visit
• What is included in the service
• Any extras requested and their cost
• How often we will attend and the day/time window

There are no hidden charges. If we think a different schedule or extra time would give you better value, we will explain this openly so you can make an informed decision.

Why Choose Professional Domestic Cleaners Instead of DIY

Many households can manage day-to-day tidying, but a professional domestic clean provides a level of thoroughness and consistency that is difficult to maintain around work and family life. Our team use structured checklists, professional-grade products and proven methods to ensure key areas are not missed.

Regular visits also help prevent build-up of limescale, grease and dust, which can be harder and more time-consuming to remove later on. For landlords and tenants, a professionally cleaned property can reduce disputes and demonstrate that the home has been maintained to a good standard.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your home is important, and so is peace of mind. Greenwich Cleaner is fully committed to operating to high professional standards.

• Fully insured for domestic cleaning work across Greenwich
• Public liability cover to protect against accidental damage or injury
• Trained cleaning teams who follow safe working practices
• Reference-checked staff and clear company procedures

Where we transport equipment or materials to your property, they are covered under appropriate goods in transit insurance. We also keep your keys and alarm details secure, following strict key-holding and confidentiality protocols.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every home with care. Our cleaners use suitable products for different surfaces to avoid damage and always test in an inconspicuous area where necessary. We move fragile items carefully and will never unplug or move equipment without good reason.

Sustainability matters to many of our Greenwich clients, and to us. Wherever possible, we select low-odour, environmentally considerate cleaning products and avoid unnecessary waste. If you prefer specific eco-friendly brands or want us to use your own products, we are happy to work that way, provided they are safe for our team to handle.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does domestic cleaning in Greenwich cost?

Pricing depends on the size of your property, the level of cleaning required and how often you would like us to visit. Most of our domestic clients pay an hourly rate, with a minimum booking time to ensure we can clean properly. During your enquiry, we ask a few questions about the number of rooms, bathrooms and general condition to give an accurate estimate. Once we have completed the first clean, we can fine-tune the timings so you are only paying for the time genuinely needed.

Can you provide same-day or urgent cleaning?

We do our best to accommodate same-day or short-notice domestic cleaning in Greenwich, especially for move-ins, move-outs or last-minute visits from family or landlords. Availability depends on our schedule for that particular day, so the sooner you contact us, the better. Even when arranging an urgent clean, we still take a few minutes to understand your priorities and ensure we bring the right equipment. If same-day is not possible, we will offer the earliest realistic slot and explain what we can achieve within the available time.

Are you insured if something is damaged during cleaning?

Yes. Greenwich Cleaner is fully insured, including public liability cover for accidental damage or injury while we are working in your home. Our teams are careful and trained to handle your belongings responsibly, but accidents can occasionally happen. In the rare event of an issue, we ask you to notify us as soon as possible so we can review what happened and, where appropriate, make a claim through our insurers. We are transparent about our procedures and are happy to explain our cover in more detail before you book.

What is included in a standard domestic cleaning visit?

A standard visit focuses on maintaining general cleanliness in kitchens, bathrooms, living areas, hallways and bedrooms. This usually includes dusting surfaces, vacuuming and mopping floors, cleaning toilets, basins, baths and showers, wiping kitchen worktops and cupboard fronts, and emptying bins. We follow an agreed checklist based on your priorities, so time is used where it makes the most difference. Tasks such as deep oven cleaning, carpet shampooing or exterior windows are not standard but can often be added as separate services by arrangement.

How far in advance should I book?

For regular weekly or fortnightly domestic cleaning, booking one to two weeks in advance usually gives the best choice of days and times. If you have specific timing requirements, such as fitting around school runs or working from home, we recommend contacting us as early as you can. For one-off or deep cleans, availability can vary depending on the season and how busy we are in Greenwich. We will always try to find a suitable slot and can place you on a waiting list if your preferred time is not immediately available.
