For many Londoners, a regular cleaner is less a luxury than a way of keeping a small flat liveable around long commutes. Most domestic cleaning in the capital is for one- and two-bedroom flats, cleaned for two or three hours every week or fortnight, often while the occupants are out.
Larger family houses in boroughs such as Wandsworth, Richmond, Barnet and Bromley tend to book longer visits or a pair of cleaners. Whatever the size, you can describe your home once and hear from domestic cleaners who already work in your part of London.
What regular cleaning in London usually involves
London's hard water means limescale on taps, shower screens and kettles is a weekly battle, so many regular cleaners spend a good part of each visit on kitchens and bathrooms. Flats with a single bathroom and an open-plan kitchen-living room are often covered in two hours; houses with several bathrooms take longer.
Published UK price guides commonly show London hourly rates above the national average. Agency cleaners usually cost more per hour than independent cleaners but may include vetting, insurance and holiday cover. Ask whether products are included and how keys are managed – many London cleaners work with a key and an agreed weekly slot.

London has a very large private rented sector, so end of tenancy and move-in cleans are booked all year round, often to tight check-out dates. Much of the capital is in a hard water area, which means limescale on taps, showers and kettles is a regular part of kitchen and bathroom cleaning. Parking restrictions and congestion charges can also affect what cleaners charge, particularly for carpet and after builders work that needs a van.
