Our Step-by-Step Domestic Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & quote

You can contact us by phone, email or online form. We will ask a few straightforward questions about the size of your property, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and the type of clean required (regular, one-off, deep, or end of tenancy). Based on this information, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining the estimated time and cost.

2. Survey (virtual or onsite)

For larger homes, specialist work or heavily soiled properties, we may recommend a brief survey. This can often be done via photos or video call, or we can attend in person at a convenient time. The survey allows us to confirm timings, identify any access or parking needs in Richmond upon Thames, and agree any optional extras before work starts.

3. Preparation

Once you are happy to proceed, we schedule your clean. Before the visit, we confirm arrival windows and any key collection arrangements. On the day, our professional cleaners arrive in uniform with all necessary equipment. We walk through the property with you (if you are present) to confirm priorities, then protect surfaces where needed and begin work following our agreed checklist.

Transparent Pricing for Domestic Cleaning

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

• By the hour for regular weekly or fortnightly visits
• As a fixed price for one-off or end of tenancy cleans, based on size and condition

The rate we quote includes labour, standard products and equipment. Any extras – such as oven cleaning, inside fridge cleaning, or carpet and upholstery cleaning – are priced separately so you always know what you are paying for. There are no hidden charges for Richmond upon Thames addresses, other than reasonable parking or congestion costs where these apply and are agreed in advance.

Why Use Professional Cleaners Instead of DIY?

Many clients start by cleaning themselves and then realise the benefits of hiring professional cleaners:

• We use professional-grade products and equipment for deeper, longer-lasting results
• Our trained cleaners know how to tackle limescale, grease and stains without damaging surfaces
• You regain valuable time in the evenings and weekends
• Our structured checklists ensure consistency – the same high standard every visit
• We are fully insured, so you are protected if anything unexpected happens

For more complex tasks, such as carpet and upholstery cleaning, specialist machinery and techniques are essential. Attempting these jobs without training can lead to shrinkage, colour changes or residue build-up. Using a professional avoids these risks.

Insurance, Training and Professional Standards

Your home and belongings are important, and we take our responsibility seriously. Carpet Cleaners Richmond upon Thames operates with:

• Public liability cover to protect you and your property during our visits
• Goods in transit insurance for any items we remove from the property for off-site cleaning
• Trained cleaning teams who follow industry best practice and manufacturer guidelines

Staff are background-checked, receive ongoing training in safe product use and correct cleaning methods, and are supervised to maintain consistent standards. We keep clear records of every job so that we can respond quickly if you ever need to discuss anything after a visit.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every property in Richmond upon Thames as if it were our own. This means:

• Using appropriate protectors and non-scratch pads on delicate surfaces
• Testing products on small, inconspicuous areas where materials are sensitive
• Avoiding over-wetting carpets and upholstery to prevent damage

We are also committed to working responsibly. Wherever practicable, we choose low-VOC, environmentally considerate products and avoid unnecessary waste. Microfibre cloths are washed and reused, and we dose chemicals correctly to minimise impact while still achieving a hygienic clean. If you prefer eco-focused products in your home, we can accommodate this and discuss suitable options.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does domestic cleaning in Richmond upon Thames cost?

Pricing depends mainly on the size of your property, the type of clean and how often you’d like us to visit. Regular weekly or fortnightly cleans are usually charged at an hourly rate, with a minimum booking time to ensure we can work thoroughly. One-off deep cleans and end of tenancy cleans are normally priced as a fixed job, based on bedrooms, bathrooms and overall condition. Once we understand your needs, we provide a clear, itemised quotation with no hidden extras, so you know exactly what you will pay before booking.

Can you provide same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?

Same-day or urgent cleaning is sometimes possible in Richmond upon Thames, depending on our existing schedule and the size of the job. If you need a rapid clean before guests arrive, a viewing, or a last-minute move, contact us as early as you can and we will check our availability. Priority is given to health and safety and realistic timings – we will always be honest about what can be achieved in the time available, and may suggest a focused clean of key areas if a full deep clean is not feasible.

Are you insured while working in my home?

Yes. We operate with comprehensive insurance to protect both you and our team. This includes public liability cover for accidental damage or injury whilst we are working in your property, and goods in transit insurance for any items we remove for specialist off-site cleaning. In addition, our cleaners are trained to handle products and equipment safely, reducing risk in the first place. Full details of our cover are available on request, and we are happy to answer any specific questions you may have about insurance.

What exactly is included in a standard domestic cleaning visit?

A standard visit focuses on keeping kitchens, bathrooms, living areas, bedrooms, hallways and stairs clean and hygienic. This typically includes dusting, wiping and sanitising reachable surfaces; cleaning sinks, toilets, baths and showers; wiping cupboard doors and worktops; vacuuming carpets and rugs; and mopping hard floors. We also empty household bins and carry out light spot cleaning of doors and switches. Deeper tasks such as inside oven cleaning, fridge interiors, heavy limescale removal or carpet shampooing are classed as extras, which we can add to your booking if required.

How far in advance do I need to book?

For regular domestic cleaning, it is best to book at least one to two weeks in advance to secure your preferred day and time, especially in busy periods. One-off or end of tenancy cleans should ideally be arranged as soon as you know your key dates, so we can plan enough time for a thorough job. That said, we always try to accommodate shorter notice where our schedule allows. Contact us with your dates and we will offer the nearest available slot and discuss options if you are working to a tight deadline.

Can I customise the cleaning checklist to suit my home?

Yes, our domestic cleaning is fully flexible. We start with our standard checklist, then adjust it to reflect your priorities – for example, focusing more on bathrooms and kitchen, or paying extra attention to dust-sensitive areas. You can let us know if there are rooms to be left untouched, items you prefer us not to move, or tasks you would like added when time permits. Over time, we refine the plan based on your feedback, ensuring each visit delivers the combination of tasks that works best for your household.
