House Cleaning

House Cleaning in Greenwich by Local Professionals

At Greenwich Cleaner, we provide thorough, reliable house cleaning for homes and small businesses across Greenwich and the surrounding areas. As an experienced local cleaning company, we understand how to keep London homes hygienic, presentable and easy to live in, whether you need a one-off deep clean or a regular maintenance service.

What Our House Cleaning Service Includes

Our standard house cleaning service is designed to keep your property consistently fresh, tidy and hygienic. Typical tasks include:

• Dusting and wiping of accessible surfaces, skirting boards and sills
• Vacuuming carpets, rugs and soft flooring
• Mopping hard floors (wood, laminate, tile, vinyl)
• Thorough cleaning of bathrooms and WCs
• Kitchen worktops, cupboard fronts and splashbacks wiped and degreased
• Hob and exterior of oven, fridge and appliances wiped
• Bins emptied and liners replaced (where available)
• Internal glass on doors and easily accessible windows wiped
• Light switches and frequently touched areas cleaned

We can tailor the visit to focus on what matters most to you – for example, extra time in kitchens and bathrooms, or more detailed attention in high-traffic areas.

Who Our House Cleaning in Greenwich Is For

Our service is flexible enough to suit a wide range of clients across Greenwich:

• Homeowners – weekly, fortnightly or monthly cleans to keep on top of dust, limescale and everyday mess.
• Renters – regular house cleaning to keep your tenancy in good order, or a one-off pre-inspection clean.
• Landlords – refresh between tenancies, pre-marketing cleans and light ongoing maintenance cleans.
• Businesses – domestic-style cleaning for home offices, studios and small commercial spaces.
• Students – shared house or flat cleans to keep the property livable and avoid end-of-tenancy disputes.

• Pre- and post-tenancy cleaning – for both tenants and landlords.

Our House Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You can contact Greenwich Cleaner by phone, email or our online form. We will ask a few simple questions about your property: size, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, current condition and any particular priorities. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation estimate for your house cleaning in Greenwich, including the recommended duration and frequency.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most standard homes a brief virtual survey – using photos or a video call – is sufficient. For larger or more complex properties, we may suggest a short onsite visit. The survey allows us to confirm the time required, identify any specialist products or access considerations, and highlight any areas that fall outside normal house cleaning. This step helps avoid surprises on the day and ensures we allocate the right number of cleaners.

3. Preparation Before the Clean

Before our team arrives, we ask that you remove valuable items and personal documents from exposed surfaces and secure any pets if needed. We bring our own cleaning kit unless you prefer specific products. On arrival, our professional cleaners will walk through the property with you, confirm priorities, and agree the order of rooms to minimise disruption. Once finished, they will invite you to inspect the work so that any minor adjustments can be made straight away.

Transparent Pricing for House Cleaning

We charge primarily by time, so you only pay for the hours needed to deliver the level of cleanliness you expect. Factors affecting the price include:

• Property size and number of rooms
• Current condition and how long since it was last professionally cleaned
• Whether it is a one-off clean or a recurring booking
• Any add-ons such as inside fridge/oven cleaning or interior window detailing

Regular clients in Greenwich benefit from discounted hourly rates compared with one-off bookings. All quotes are given in advance and confirmed in writing, with no hidden charges for standard materials or travel within our normal service area.

Why Choose Professional House Cleaning Instead of DIY

Many of our clients are perfectly capable of cleaning their own homes, but simply lack the time or energy on top of work and family commitments. A professional service offers:

• Consistent standards – the same tasks completed thoroughly on every visit.
• Better hygiene – high-touch areas disinfected with appropriate products.
• Time savings – freeing you up for work, family or rest.
• Correct products – reducing the risk of damage to surfaces or finishes.
• Objective attention – cleaners notice areas that residents may overlook.

Over time, professional cleaning can also help prolong the life of carpets, flooring and fittings by preventing build-up of dirt and scale.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Inviting a cleaner into your home requires trust. Greenwich Cleaner operates to clear, accountable standards to protect both clients and staff.

• Public liability cover – to protect against accidental damage to your property while we are working.
• Goods in transit insurance – covering our equipment and supplies while travelling to and from your home.
• Fully insured and vetted cleaners – identity and right-to-work checks completed.
• Trained cleaning teams – induction on safe use of chemicals, colour-coding and cross-contamination control.
• Clear incident reporting procedure and prompt communication if something goes wrong.

We follow industry best practice on safe working, lone working and privacy, so you can feel comfortable leaving us to get on with the job.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Cleaning should make your home healthier, not introduce unnecessary risk. Our approach balances effectiveness with care for your property and the environment.

• Use of microfibre cloths and colour-coded systems to reduce cross-contamination.
• Preference for low-VOC, eco-aware products where suitable.
• Careful testing of products on a small, discreet area before wider use on delicate surfaces.
• Efficient water and product usage to minimise waste.
• Responsible disposal of packaging and empty containers.

If you have particular preferences – for example, only plant-based products, or avoiding certain fragrances – we can usually accommodate this with prior notice.

Local House Cleaning Expertise in Greenwich

We work exclusively in Greenwich and nearby postcodes, so we understand the mix of period homes, new-build apartments and shared student houses in the area. From compact riverside flats to larger family houses near the park, we tailor our approach to each property type. Being local also means we can respond quickly to schedule changes, offer more reliable arrival times, and provide ongoing support rather than one-off visits from distant agencies.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does house cleaning in Greenwich cost?

The cost depends mainly on the size of your property and how long it has been since it was last properly cleaned. We will usually recommend a slightly longer first visit to bring everything up to standard, followed by shorter regular cleans if required. Pricing is normally per hour, with all labour and standard products included. Once we understand the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and any particular requests, we provide a clear estimate before you commit, so you always know what to expect on your invoice.

Can you provide same-day or urgent house cleaning?

Where our schedule allows, we do our best to accommodate same-day or next-day house cleaning in Greenwich, especially for urgent situations such as last-minute visitors, move dates or an unexpected inspection. Availability is easier on weekdays and outside peak times. If we cannot offer your exact time, we will suggest the nearest alternative. For urgent bookings we keep the service focused on the most important areas – typically kitchens, bathrooms and main living spaces – so you see the biggest improvement in the time available.

Are your cleaners insured while working in my home?

Yes. Greenwich Cleaner is fully insured. We hold public liability cover for work carried out in your property and goods in transit insurance for our equipment and materials when travelling. Our cleaners are trained to work carefully and to report any issue immediately should something go wrong. While incidents are rare, the cover is there for your peace of mind and ours. Full details of our insurance arrangements are available on request, and we are happy to confirm cover in writing before you book.

What exactly is included in a house cleaning service?

A standard house clean focuses on general surface cleaning, bathrooms, kitchen, floors and bins. We dust and wipe accessible surfaces, clean toilets, baths and showers, wipe down kitchen worktops and cupboard fronts, and vacuum or mop all floors. Interior glass on doors and easy-to-reach windows is also cleaned. Tasks such as inside ovens, fridges and kitchen cupboards, or detailed limescale removal from heavily affected areas, are available as optional extras. Before your first visit we will agree a checklist with you so that everyone knows what is and is not included.

How far in advance should I book?

For regular weekly or fortnightly house cleaning, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance to secure your preferred day and time. One-off or deep cleans can often be arranged more quickly, depending on the season and our current workload. End-of-tenancy and pre-move cleans are particularly busy towards the end of each month, so it is wise to reserve your slot as soon as you know your dates. That said, we always keep some flexibility in the diary for shorter-notice requests where possible.

Do I need to be at home while you clean?

You are welcome to be at home during the clean, but it is not essential. Many clients prefer to provide us with a key or arrange secure access so we can clean while they are at work. We have clear procedures for key holding and access codes to protect your property. If it is your first booking, you may like to be present at the start and end so we can walk through your priorities and you can check the results. After that, most clients are comfortable leaving us to get on with it.
