We also offer specialist add-ons such as oven cleaning, fridge/freezer cleaning, deep bathroom descaling and our core service, carpet and upholstery cleaning, which can be scheduled alongside your house clean.

What is not included as standard

• External window cleaning

Many of these can be arranged as additional services or referred to trusted partners. We will always confirm what is and is not included in writing before you book.

Local House Cleaning Expertise in SE16

Being based in SE16 means we understand the mix of homes in the area – from riverside apartments and new-build flats to Victorian terraces and housing association properties. We know the common issues: light-coloured carpets, compact kitchens, busy shared areas and hard-water scale in bathrooms.

Our cleaners are scheduled with realistic travel times for SE16 traffic and parking, which helps us stay punctual. We also keep your building’s rules in mind, whether it is a private block with concierge, a managed estate or student accommodation.

Who Our House Cleaning Service Is For

We work with a wide range of clients in SE16 and nearby postcodes:

• Homeowners who want regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning to keep on top of their property.
• Renters needing reliable cleaning to maintain their home or prepare for inspections.
• Landlords who require end-of-tenancy or pre-let cleaning to present properties well.
• Businesses operating from residential-style premises or small offices needing domestic-style cleaning.
• Students who may need a one-off deep clean before moving in, after parties, or at the end of tenancy.

Whether you live alone, share with others or manage multiple properties, we tailor our schedule and checklist to suit your circumstances.

Step-by-Step House Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & quote

You can contact us by phone, email or our online form. We will ask a few simple questions about your property: type of home, number of bedrooms/bathrooms, flooring, and any special requirements. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation estimate and advise how long the clean is likely to take.

2. Survey – virtual or onsite

For most standard homes, a virtual survey using photos or a short video call is sufficient. For larger or more complex properties, or for combined services such as house and carpet cleaning, we may recommend a brief onsite visit. This helps us confirm access, parking, and any areas needing extra attention, so there are no surprises on the day.

3. Preparation before the clean

Before we arrive, we ask that you:

• Ensure someone is available to give access, or arrange safe key collection
• Secure valuables and important documents
• Do basic tidying away of personal items where possible, so we can focus on cleaning

Our team will then arrive in the agreed time window, walk through the property with you, confirm priorities and start work. At the end, we invite you to check the property with us to make sure you are satisfied.

Transparent House Cleaning Pricing

We price our house cleaning in SE16 based on the size of the property, the level of soiling and the frequency of visits. Regular cleaning is typically charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking time, while one-off deep cleans and end-of-tenancy jobs may be priced per job.

Your quote will specify:

• The estimated time on site
• The number of cleaners attending
• What is included in the service
• Any optional extras and their cost

There are no hidden charges for standard materials or equipment. Any potential extra costs, such as paid parking or congestion/ULEZ charges, are discussed and agreed upfront where applicable.

Why Choose Professional House Cleaning Over DIY?

Many of our clients are perfectly capable of cleaning but choose us because of time, energy and consistency. Professional cleaning offers:

• A structured, methodical approach that tackles all rooms, not just the worst areas
• Use of commercial-grade products and equipment, especially for carpets and limescale
• Trained cleaners who know how to work efficiently without cutting corners
• Reliable schedules that keep your home under control even in busy periods
• Reduced stress before moves, inspections, or guests arriving

Because we are fully insured and accountable, you also have reassurance that your property is being looked after properly, something DIY cannot offer.

Insurance & Professional Standards

We take responsibility for the work we carry out and the people we send into your home. Carpet Cleaning SE16 operates with:

• Public liability cover to protect against accidental damage or injury while we are working on site.
• Goods in transit insurance when we transport cleaning machinery and products to and from your property.
• Trained, professional teams who receive ongoing instruction in safe product use, manual handling and respectful conduct in clients’ homes.

Our cleaners wear appropriate clothing, use protective shoe covers where needed and follow clear checklists so that the same standards are maintained every visit.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat your home as if it were our own. That means:

• Using furniture sliders and protective pads where necessary to avoid scuffs and scratches
• Testing products in inconspicuous areas before full use on delicate surfaces
• Ventilating rooms properly when using stronger cleaners

We are committed to a more sustainable way of working. Wherever practical, we use concentrated solutions to reduce packaging, microfibre cloths that can be laundered and reusable equipment rather than disposables. For clients who request it, we can provide a mostly eco-friendly product set, while still using targeted professional products where hygiene or stain removal requires it.

Items and Areas We Commonly Clean

Rooms

• Bedrooms – dusting, surfaces, floors, mirrors, inside reachable window sills
• Living rooms – surfaces, TVs and units (external), floors, soft furnishings vacuumed
• Kitchens – surfaces, hob, cupboard exteriors, sink, appliance exteriors
• Bathrooms – toilets, basins, baths, showers, taps, tiles, floors
• Hallways and stairs – dusting, bannisters, skirtings and floors

Common exclusions

If you are unsure whether something can be cleaned, just ask. We will give an honest answer and options where possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does house cleaning in SE16 cost?

Costs depend mainly on the size of your property, the level of cleaning required and how often you would like us to attend. Regular weekly or fortnightly cleans are usually charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking time, while one-off deep cleans or end-of-tenancy jobs may be priced per job after a brief survey. Once we understand your home and priorities, we provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what you are paying for before you commit.

Do you offer same-day or urgent house cleaning?

Where our schedule allows, we can arrange short-notice or same-day house cleaning in SE16, especially for smaller flats or focused one-room cleans. Availability depends on existing bookings and the size and condition of the property. For urgent requests, it is best to call us so we can check our rota immediately and see what is realistically possible. Even when we cannot attend the same day, we will usually be able to offer a slot within a short timeframe.

Are you insured while working in my home?

Yes. We hold comprehensive public liability insurance to cover accidental damage or injury while we are working at your property. Our goods in transit insurance covers our equipment as it travels to and from your home, so you are not liable for any issues related to our machinery. We also ensure all cleaners are properly trained in safe working practices to reduce the risk of incidents in the first place. Details of our cover can be provided on request before you book.

What exactly is included in your house cleaning service?

A standard house clean focuses on dusting, wiping and sanitising surfaces, full vacuuming, mopping hard floors and cleaning kitchens and bathrooms to a good general standard. We include items such as worktops, cupboard exteriors, hobs, sinks, toilets, basins, baths, showers, internal glass and mirrors. Extras like inside ovens, fridges, cupboards or carpet shampooing are not automatic but can be added. Before the first visit we will agree a checklist with you, so there is no confusion about what is and is not included.

How far in advance should I book?

For regular weekly or fortnightly house cleaning in SE16, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance to secure your preferred day and time. Deep cleans, end-of-tenancy cleans and combined services (such as house and carpet cleaning on the same day) may need a little more notice, especially in busy periods like month-end and before holidays. That said, we keep some flexibility in our schedule, so it is always worth contacting us, even at short notice, to see what we can offer.
