House Cleaning in Greenwich by Local Professionals
At Greenwich Carpet Cleaners, we provide thorough, reliable house cleaning across Greenwich and the surrounding areas. With years of hands-on experience in homes, rentals and small businesses, we know what it takes to keep a property genuinely clean, hygienic and easy to live in.

Local House Cleaning Experts in Greenwich
We are a locally based company, working day in, day out in Greenwich, Blackheath, Charlton, Deptford and nearby areas. Because we live and work here, we understand typical Greenwich homes – from period terraces and riverside apartments to student flats and HMOs.
That local knowledge helps us plan parking, access, building rules and time restrictions, so your clean runs smoothly and on schedule. If your building has concierge arrangements, lift bookings or noise limits, we will coordinate around them.
Who Our House Cleaning Service Is For
Homeowners
Busy homeowners rely on us for regular house cleaning to keep on top of dust, limescale, pet hair and day-to-day mess. We work around family life, children and pets, focusing on the areas that matter most to you.
Renters and Tenants
Tenants use our end of tenancy and mid-tenancy cleaning to protect deposits and keep landlords satisfied. We follow typical tenancy check-out standards, paying extra attention to kitchens, bathrooms, and high-traffic areas.
Landlords and Letting Agents
Landlords and agents book our pre-tenancy and turnaround cleans to present properties at their best. We work to tight deadlines between tenancies, ensuring a clean, fresh and hygienic space for new occupants.
Businesses and Home Offices
Small businesses, homeworkers and consultants often use our house cleaning for live-work spaces. We clean domestic areas plus home offices, keeping desks, chairs and floor coverings fresh without disrupting equipment.
Students and Shared Houses
Students and shared households benefit from occasional deep cleaning to reset kitchens, bathrooms and communal areas. This helps avoid disputes in shared tenancies and keeps the property comfortable and hygienic for everyone.

How Our House Cleaning Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or through our website with a brief description of your property: location in Greenwich, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and the type of clean you need (regular, one-off, deep or end of tenancy). We will ask a few questions about the condition of the property and any priorities. Based on this, we provide an initial, no-obligation quote.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most standard homes, a short virtual survey via photos or video call is enough. This helps us confirm the time needed and identify any special requirements such as access, parking or particularly heavy soiling. For larger properties or complex jobs, we may recommend a brief onsite visit in Greenwich to assess accurately before confirming the price and plan.
3. Preparation Before the Clean
Before our cleaners arrive, we ask that you remove valuables and personal documents from surfaces where possible, and secure any pets. We bring our own professional cleaning products and equipment unless you prefer we use yours. On arrival, the team will walk through the property with you (or follow agreed instructions if you are not present), confirm the scope and then start work systematically from top to bottom.
Transparent Pricing for House Cleaning in Greenwich
Our pricing is based on a clear hourly or fixed-rate structure, depending on the type of clean:
- Regular house cleaning – usually charged per hour, with a minimum booking length
- Deep cleaning and end of tenancy – usually a fixed price based on property size and condition
- Optional extras – such as oven cleaning or carpet cleaning – priced separately and agreed in advance
There are no hidden charges for travel within Greenwich. If parking fees or congestion charges apply, we will make this clear before you confirm the booking. All prices are agreed in writing so you know exactly what to expect.
Why Choose Professional House Cleaning Over DIY?
Cleaning your own home is perfectly possible, but there are strong reasons many clients choose a professional service:
- We use trade-grade products and equipment for more effective stain and limescale removal.
- Experienced cleaners follow a structured system, meaning a more thorough result in less time.
- Regular professional cleaning helps protect surfaces, carpets and fixtures from long-term damage.
- You reduce personal strain, especially if you have a busy schedule, health issues or mobility limits.
- For tenants and landlords, a professional clean supports deposit returns and smoother check-outs.
In short, you gain time, consistency and a higher standard of cleanliness with less effort and risk.
Insurance, Training and Professional Standards
Greenwich Carpet Cleaners operates with robust cover and standards for your peace of mind:
- Public liability cover – protecting you and your property in the unlikely event of accidental damage.
- Goods in transit insurance – where we are transporting equipment or items for specialist offsite cleaning.
- Trained cleaning teams – all staff receive practical training in safe product use, correct dilution, surface protection and care of different materials.
Our cleaners are reference-checked and supervised, and we follow clear health and safety procedures in every property we visit.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every property with care, as if it were our own. That means:
- Using appropriate cloths and tools for delicate surfaces to avoid scratching or dulling finishes.
- Testing cleaning products on small, inconspicuous areas where necessary.
- Working around your belongings respectfully and with minimal disruption.
We also aim to work more sustainably by:
- Choosing effective, low-waste products and concentrates where suitable.
- Reducing unnecessary single-use plastics in our cleaning kit.
- Planning routes around Greenwich intelligently to cut down on travel time and emissions.
If you prefer more eco-friendly product options, please mention this when booking and we will advise on what is realistic for your property.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does house cleaning in Greenwich cost?
Costs vary depending on property size, condition and whether you need a regular clean or a one-off deep clean. As a guide, regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning is usually charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking length. Deep and end of tenancy cleans are typically priced as a fixed fee per property, based on bedrooms, bathrooms and any extras such as oven or carpet cleaning. We always provide a clear quote in advance so you know the exact cost before confirming.
Can you provide same-day or urgent house cleaning?
Where our schedule allows, we do our best to accommodate urgent or same-day cleaning requests in Greenwich, particularly for move-outs or last-minute inspections. Availability depends on existing bookings and the size of the job, so we recommend calling as early as possible. For larger properties or very heavy cleaning, we may suggest the earliest realistic slot, often the next day, to ensure we can allocate enough trained staff to complete the work properly rather than rushing.
Are you insured if something gets damaged?
Yes. We operate with comprehensive public liability cover to protect you in the unlikely event of accidental damage during cleaning. Where we transport equipment or items for specialist work, we also have goods in transit insurance. Our teams are fully trained in safe working methods and product use to minimise any risk to your property and belongings. If an incident did occur, we would report it to you immediately and follow our documented claims procedure to resolve it fairly and transparently.
What is included in a standard house clean?
A standard clean focuses on the main living areas, bedrooms, kitchen and bathrooms. This typically includes dusting, vacuuming, mopping hard floors, cleaning worktops and cupboard fronts, wiping tiles and splashbacks, sanitising toilets, baths, showers and basins, and emptying bins. Light internal glass cleaning is also included. Deep cleaning tasks such as inside ovens, inside cupboards, heavy limescale removal or carpet shampooing are not standard, but can be added on request and will be priced separately when we prepare your quote.
How far in advance should I book?
For regular weekly or fortnightly house cleaning, it is best to book at least one to two weeks in advance to secure your preferred time and day. End of tenancy and deep cleans also benefit from early booking, especially at busy times such as month-end and university move-out periods in Greenwich. That said, we will always check our diary for short-notice availability, so it is worth asking even if your timescale is tight. The more flexibility you have on dates and times, the easier it is to fit you in.
Do I need to be at home while you clean?
You are welcome to be present, but it is not essential. Many clients provide us with keys or arrange access via a concierge or key safe. We have clear procedures for key handling and property security, and we only enter on the dates and times agreed. If you are home, we will work around you as discreetly as possible; if you are out, we will follow the agreed checklist and lock up once finished, leaving your home clean, tidy and secure.
