Domestic Cleaning

Domestic Cleaning in Greenwich by Experienced Local Professionals

At Greenwich Carpet Cleaners, we provide thorough, reliable domestic cleaning for homes across Greenwich and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on experience in local properties – from period terraces to modern riverside flats – we know exactly what it takes to keep a home clean, hygienic and easy to live in.

What Our Domestic Cleaning Service Includes

Our domestic cleaning is designed to take the day-to-day pressure off you. We cover all the usual household cleaning tasks and tailor the visit to how you use your home.

Typical tasks we carry out

• Dusting and wiping of all accessible surfaces, skirting boards and window sills
• Vacuuming of carpets, rugs and soft flooring
• Mopping of hard floors (tiles, vinyl, laminate, sealed wood)
• Full bathroom clean – toilets, baths, showers, sinks, taps and tiles
• Kitchen clean – worktops, cupboard doors, hob, splashbacks, sinks and taps
• General tidy-up of living areas, hallways and bedrooms
• Emptying of household bins and replacing liners (where provided)
• Light spot cleaning of fingerprints and marks on doors and switches

We can also add deep cleaning elements such as inside oven cleaning, fridge and freezer cleaning, or detailed limescale removal by request.

Who Our Domestic Cleaning Service Is For

Our flexible service suits a wide range of clients in Greenwich:

• Homeowners who want a regular weekly or fortnightly clean to keep on top of dust, limescale and everyday mess.
• Renters who need reliable cleaning to maintain their property and avoid disputes with landlords or letting agents.
• Landlords requiring a tidy, hygienic property between tenancies or a pre-let spruce-up.
• Businesses based in residential-style premises needing domestic-style cleaning rather than a full commercial contract.
• Students in shared accommodation who want the communal areas and bathrooms kept to a reasonable standard.

Whether it is a one-bedroom flat or a large family home, we plan our work around your property, schedule and priorities.

Local Expertise in Greenwich Homes

Working across Greenwich every day means we understand local housing stock and common cleaning challenges. From hard water marks on bathroom fittings to dust and traffic residue on window sills along busy routes, we know what to look for and how to deal with it efficiently.

Being a local company also means you get a reliable, familiar team, punctual arrival and realistic advice about how often your home is likely to need cleaning to stay at the standard you expect.

Service Variations to Suit Your Needs

• Regular domestic cleaning – weekly, fortnightly or monthly visits.
• One-off deep cleaning – ideal for spring cleans or after building work.
• Pre- and post-tenancy cleaning – for both tenants and landlords.
• Move-in cleaning – a thorough clean before you unpack in a new home.
• After-party or event cleaning – to restore order quickly and safely.

We can mix and match these options, for example a one-off deep clean followed by a lighter regular service.

What Is Included and What Is Not

Items and areas typically included

• All main rooms: bedrooms, lounges, dining rooms, hallways and landings
• Kitchens and utility rooms – surfaces, sinks, hobs and floors
• Bathrooms, shower rooms and cloakrooms
• Internal glass on doors and easily reachable internal windows
• Light fittings and picture frames that are safely reachable without ladders

Items and tasks usually excluded

• External windows and work requiring ladders or roof access
• Cleaning of high-risk areas such as lofts without proper access
• Heavy furniture removal or dismantling of fitted units
• Deep stain removal that requires specialist restoration rather than cleaning
• Garden, balcony or exterior cleaning (can sometimes be arranged separately)

If you are unsure whether a task is included, we are happy to discuss it during your enquiry. We prefer to be clear and realistic from the start.

How Our Domestic Cleaning Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone or online with basic details of your property: number of bedrooms and bathrooms, type of flooring, parking or access restrictions, and how often you would like us to visit. We ask a few practical questions and provide a clear, no-obligation estimate based on your description.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most domestic cleans, a virtual survey by phone and photos is sufficient. For larger properties, complex layouts or deep cleans, we may arrange an onsite visit. This allows us to confirm timings, identify any delicate surfaces or items needing special care, and agree priorities for each visit.

3. Preparation Before the First Clean

We confirm the date, time and key arrangements. On the day, our trained cleaners arrive with all agreed equipment and products. We walk through the property with you (where possible), confirm any do-not-touch areas, and then work methodically through each room. At the end, we carry out a quick check with you to make sure you are happy before we leave.

Transparent Pricing for Domestic Cleaning

We charge domestic cleaning on a straightforward time and size basis, with no hidden extras. Factors that affect the price include:

• Property size and number of bathrooms
• Frequency of visits – weekly, fortnightly, monthly or one-off
• Level of cleaning required – standard maintenance or deep clean
• Access, parking and any special requirements

Before starting, we provide a clear written outline of the expected time and cost. For regular clients, once we have completed the first visit, we usually fine-tune the schedule so you are only paying for the time genuinely needed to keep your home at the standard you want.

Why Professional Cleaning Beats DIY

Many clients are perfectly capable of cleaning their own homes, but struggle to find the time or energy to do it thoroughly and consistently. Using a professional team brings several advantages:

• Systematic, trained methods that clean more efficiently in less time
• Access to professional-grade products and equipment
• Consistent standards on every visit
• Reduced wear and tear by using appropriate techniques on delicate surfaces
• Clear accountability – if something is missed, we put it right

Instead of spending your limited free time on chores, you gain a cleaner, healthier home with much less effort.

Insurance and Professional Standards

We take responsibility for our work and your property seriously. Greenwich Carpet Cleaners is:

• Fully insured with comprehensive public liability cover for work inside your home.
• Covered by goods in transit insurance for any equipment and materials we bring to your property.
• Staffed by trained, background-checked cleaners who follow established procedures.

We follow UK health and safety guidelines, use products in accordance with manufacturer instructions, and always prioritise safe working practices in your home.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Respect for your home and the environment is built into how we work. We use protective measures such as colour-coded cloths to avoid cross-contamination between bathrooms and kitchens, and we take extra care with delicate surfaces like natural stone, real wood and fine fabrics.

Where possible, we choose lower-impact cleaning products that are effective yet kinder to the environment, and we avoid unnecessary waste of water and disposable materials. If you prefer, we can also work with your own preferred products, which some clients choose for allergy or sensitivity reasons.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does domestic cleaning in Greenwich cost?

Pricing depends mainly on the size of your property, the number of bathrooms and how often you would like us to visit. One-off deep cleans generally cost more per visit than regular maintenance cleans because they require more time and detailed work. We usually provide an estimated duration and hourly rate, then refine it after the first clean once we see how long the property genuinely takes. All costs are explained in advance, with no hidden extras, so you know exactly what you are paying for before we start.

Can you provide same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?

Where our schedule allows, we do our best to accommodate same-day or urgent cleaning requests, especially for situations like last-minute inspections, guests arriving or end-of-tenancy deadlines. Availability depends on existing bookings and the size of the job, so we recommend calling as early in the day as possible. If we cannot offer a full service at short notice, we may be able to provide a shorter, targeted visit focusing on your highest-priority areas such as kitchens and bathrooms.

Are you insured while working in my home?

Yes. We are fully insured for the work we carry out in domestic properties. This includes public liability cover for accidental damage or injury connected with our cleaning activities, and goods in transit insurance for our equipment and materials. While incidents are extremely rare, having proper insurance in place means you have extra peace of mind. Our cleaners are also trained to work carefully around your belongings and to report any concerns immediately so that issues can be dealt with promptly and professionally.

What is included in a standard domestic cleaning visit?

A standard visit typically covers dusting of accessible surfaces, vacuuming of carpets and rugs, mopping of hard floors, full cleaning of bathrooms and WCs, and a general kitchen clean including worktops, cupboard fronts, hob and sink. We also empty household bins and tidy main living areas as agreed. Inside ovens, inside fridges and other deep-clean tasks are not usually part of a standard visit but can be added if requested. Before we start, we agree a clear task list so you know exactly what will be done each time.

How far in advance should I book domestic cleaning?

For regular weekly or fortnightly slots, it is best to book at least one to two weeks in advance so we can offer days and times that suit you. One-off or deep cleans may require a little more notice, particularly during busy periods such as spring, month-end and before holidays. That said, we will always check our schedule for cancellations or gaps if you need something sooner. Once your regular slot is confirmed, it is yours for as long as you need it, subject to any agreed holiday or access changes.

Do I need to be at home while you clean?

You are welcome to be at home, but it is not essential. Many clients prefer us to hold a key, use a key safe or collect keys from a concierge so we can clean while they are at work. Keys are logged and stored securely, and our professional cleaners follow agreed instructions for locking up. We recommend being present for the first visit if possible, so we can walk through the property together, discuss priorities and any areas to avoid. After that, we can work independently to the agreed plan.
