• Emptying bins and basic tidy of main living areas

We also offer focused services, including deep cleaning, end of tenancy cleaning and carpet and upholstery cleaning, which can be added to your visit or booked separately.

To keep pricing clear and fair, some items are excluded from standard house cleaning, but many can be added on request:

• External window cleaning and outdoor areas
• Professional oven and appliance disassembly cleaning
• Wall washing and full paintwork restoration
• Chimney, loft or garage clearance
• Heavy waste removal or builders' rubble

If you are unsure whether something is included, we will clarify it clearly during the quotation stage so you know exactly what to expect.

Local House Cleaning Expertise in Catford

We are a Catford-based company, not a distant call centre. Our teams work in SE6 and nearby areas every day, so we understand local housing stock – from purpose-built flats and student HMOs to Victorian terraces and family homes.

Being local means we can offer flexible appointment times, realistic arrival windows and responsive support if you need to adjust your booking. It also means our reputation matters; many of our new clients come from neighbours’ and landlords’ recommendations.

Who Our House Cleaning Service Is For

Homeowners

Ideal if you want a regular, reliable cleaner to keep on top of dust, floors and bathrooms so you can spend more time on what matters. We can set up weekly, fortnightly or monthly visits.

Renters

Whether you need a tidy home around a busy work schedule or a one-off clean before inspections, we’ll help keep your tenancy in good standing without you having to spend your weekends scrubbing.

Landlords & Letting Agents

We support local landlords with pre-tenancy and post-tenancy cleans, ensuring properties are presentable, hygienic and ready for viewings or new occupants, helping protect your asset and your reputation.

Businesses & Home Offices

For small businesses, home offices and live/work spaces, we provide discreet, regular cleaning that keeps work environments professional and compliant with basic hygiene expectations.

Students & House Shares

Shared flats and houses in Catford can quickly get out of hand. We offer affordable group bookings to keep communal areas such as kitchens, bathrooms and living rooms clean and fair for everyone.

Our Step-by-Step House Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone or online with a brief description of your property, current condition and what you would like done. We ask a few focused questions about number of rooms, flooring types and any particular problem areas. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually with options for one-off and regular cleaning.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For straightforward jobs, a short call and photos are often enough. For larger homes, complex layouts or combined services (such as deep clean plus carpets), we may recommend an onsite or virtual video survey. This lets us assess access, parking, room sizes and any delicate items, so we can allocate the right team, products and time on the day.

3. Preparation

Once you approve the quote, we book a date and time that suits you. Before we arrive, we’ll send simple preparation tips – such as moving small personal items from surfaces and securing valuables. On the day, our trained and professional cleaners arrive with all necessary equipment and products, walk through the property with you if you’re present, confirm priorities and then get to work methodically, room by room.

Transparent Pricing for House Cleaning

We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Our charges are typically based on:

• Size and type of property (number of bedrooms and bathrooms)
• Condition of the home (standard upkeep vs deep clean)
• Frequency (one-off, weekly, fortnightly, monthly)
• Any add-ons such as carpet cleaning or oven cleaning

We provide a clear written quote before any work starts. There are no hidden call-out fees. For regular clients, we can agree a fixed, recurring rate so you know exactly what you are paying each visit.

Why Choose Professional House Cleaning Over DIY?

Cleaning your own home can be time-consuming and physically tiring, especially if you are juggling work, family and other commitments. Professional cleaning offers several advantages:

• Trained teams know the best methods and products for different surfaces.
• Professional equipment achieves more thorough results in less time.
• Regular booked visits keep standards consistent and prevent build-up.
• We spot early signs of issues like mould or staining so they can be addressed promptly.
• You regain hours of your week that would otherwise be spent cleaning.

In many cases, professional house cleaning is also more cost-effective than buying a wide range of products and tools yourself, only to use them occasionally.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your home and belongings are important, and we treat them with respect. Carpet Cleaners Catford operates with:

• Public liability cover for peace of mind in the unlikely event of accidental damage.
• Goods in transit insurance where we move or transport any items as part of a combined cleaning service.
• Fully insured company status, with documentation available on request.

All cleaners are trained in safe working practices, correct chemical use, colour-coding and cross-contamination prevention, as well as respectful conduct in occupied homes. We follow clear checklists and quality control processes to maintain consistent standards on every visit.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We aim to clean thoroughly while caring for your home, your health and the environment.

• Use of appropriate products for sensitive surfaces such as natural stone and sealed wood.
• Protective measures such as corner guards, door protectors and floor pads where needed.
• Careful handling of furniture, ornaments and electronics; we do not move heavy items unsafely.
• Where possible, use of low-VOC, biodegradable cleaning solutions that are effective yet kinder to indoor air quality.
• Microfibre cloths and mop systems to reduce waste and improve cleaning efficiency.

If you have allergies, pets or specific product preferences, let us know. We can often accommodate this and will always be honest about what will and will not deliver the results you expect.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does house cleaning in Catford cost?

Pricing depends mainly on the size of your property, the current condition and how often you’d like us to visit. Smaller flats on a regular schedule usually cost less per visit than larger houses needing occasional deep cleaning. We provide a tailored quote after a short discussion or survey, so you only pay for the time and services you genuinely need. There are no hidden extras, and we will always confirm the agreed rate in writing before any work begins.

Can you provide same-day or urgent house cleaning?

Where our schedule allows, we do our best to accommodate same-day or short-notice bookings in Catford, particularly for urgent situations such as last-minute inspections, move-outs or guests arriving. Availability depends on existing commitments and the scale of work required. For very short notice, we may suggest a focused clean of priority areas rather than a full-house service. Calling us as early as possible in the day gives us the best chance to allocate a professional team for you.

Are you insured while working in my home?

Yes. We are a fully insured cleaning company. We hold public liability cover to protect against accidental damage or injury while we are working in your property. Where we move or transport items as part of a combined service, we also have goods in transit insurance. Our cleaners are trained to work carefully and respectfully, but insurance provides an additional layer of reassurance. If you’d like, we can share proof of cover and limits before your booking so you are completely comfortable.

What exactly is included in a standard house cleaning visit?

A standard visit usually covers dusting, vacuuming, mopping, bathroom cleaning, kitchen surface cleaning, internal glass and general tidying of main living areas. We’ll agree the specific rooms and any special requests, such as extra attention to limescale, before we start. Tasks like oven deep cleaning, inside cupboards, external windows or heavy-duty post-builders’ cleaning are not included by default but can be added. During the quotation, we’ll list clearly what is and isn’t covered so there are no surprises on the day.

How far in advance should I book?

For regular weekly or fortnightly cleans, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance so we can reserve a consistent day and time for you. For one-off or deep cleans, earlier booking gives you more choice of slots, especially around month-end and holidays when demand is higher. That said, we will always check for late availability if you need something sooner. Once your schedule is set, we aim to keep it stable and will notify you promptly if any changes are ever necessary.
