Our Step-by-Step Domestic Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & quote

Contact us by phone, email or our online form. We will ask a few straightforward questions about your property size, number of rooms, current condition and what you would like done. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation estimate. For regular cleaning, we also discuss how often you would like visits, preferred days and times, and any specific instructions or priorities.

2. Survey – virtual or onsite

For most domestic cleaning in Deptford, a brief virtual survey (photos or video) is sufficient to confirm the quote and plan. For larger homes or more complex jobs, we can arrange an onsite visit. This allows us to assess access, parking, flooring types and any delicate items that need special care. We use this stage to agree the exact specification, timings and any add-ons such as carpet cleaning or oven cleaning.

3. Preparation

Before we arrive, we ask that you put away any valuable or highly personal items and, where possible, clear floors and surfaces so we can clean efficiently. On the day, our trained cleaners arrive on time in uniform with all necessary equipment and products. We walk through your priorities with you if you are at home, then protect surfaces where needed and work through an agreed checklist so nothing is missed. At the end, we invite you to inspect the work before we leave.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

We charge for domestic cleaning either by the hour or at a fixed price for clearly defined one-off jobs. Pricing varies depending on:

Property size and number of bathrooms
Frequency of cleaning (regular visits cost less per visit than one-offs)
Current condition and any heavy build-up
Optional extras such as deep oven cleaning or carpet cleaning

Before any booking is confirmed, you will receive a clear breakdown of expected time, cost and what is included. There are no hidden charges for standard products or equipment, and any parking or congestion charges are explained in advance where they apply.

Why Choose Professional Cleaning over DIY?

Many clients in Deptford are perfectly capable of cleaning their own homes but find that time, energy and proper equipment are the limiting factors. Using a professional domestic cleaning service brings several advantages:

Consistency: scheduled visits mean the house never gets overwhelmingly dirty.
Quality: professional products and methods achieve a deeper, longer-lasting clean, especially on carpets and upholstery.
Time-saving: frees up evenings and weekends for work, family and rest.
Attention to detail: experienced cleaners know where dirt hides and how to remove it safely.
Hygiene: better sanitisation of high-touch areas reduces germs and allergens.

By combining our domestic cleaning with our specialist carpet and upholstery services, many clients notice a significant improvement in indoor air quality and overall comfort at home.

Insurance, Training and Professional Standards

Inviting cleaners into your home requires trust. Deptford Carpet Cleaners operates with robust protections in place:

Public liability cover – for accidental damage to your property during our work.
Goods in transit insurance – for items we transport in our vehicles, such as equipment and occasionally soft furnishings being taken for specialist treatment.
Trained cleaning teams – our staff receive structured training in cleaning techniques, stain treatment, product safety and safe use of machinery.
Fully insured and vetted team members for your peace of mind.

We follow established industry guidance on chemical use, colour-coding of cloths and mops, and safe working at height for internal areas. Our methods are designed to protect your property and our staff at all times.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every home as if it were our own. This means:

Using floor protectors and careful placement of equipment to avoid scuffs or marks
Testing products on small, inconspicuous areas before wider use on delicate surfaces
Following manufacturer guidelines for carpets, upholstery and hard flooring
Adapting cleaning methods for homes with children, pets or allergy sufferers

We are also working steadily to reduce our environmental impact by:

Selecting effective but lower-toxicity products where appropriate
Using concentrated chemicals with measured dosing to minimise waste
Maintaining equipment to run efficiently and last longer
Planning routes sensibly to cut down unnecessary travel

Where clients request it, we can often use their preferred eco-labelled products, provided they are suitable for the surfaces to be cleaned.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does domestic cleaning in Deptford cost?

Costs depend mainly on the size of your property, the number of bathrooms, how often you would like us to visit and the current condition of the home. For regular weekly or fortnightly cleans, we usually work to an hourly rate with a minimum visit time to ensure a proper job can be done. One-off deep cleans, end of tenancy cleans and jobs with significant build-up are normally priced as a fixed quote. Once we know a few details, we provide a clear written estimate before you decide.

Can you offer same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?

Same-day or short-notice cleaning is sometimes possible, particularly outside the busiest times of year, but it depends on our diary on that specific day. If you have an urgent requirement – for example, a last-minute inspection, move-out clean or unexpected visitors – it is always worth calling. We will check availability across our teams and let you know honestly what can be achieved within the timeframe. When we can accommodate urgent work, we agree a clear scope so priorities are covered first if time is limited.

Are you insured while working in my home?

Yes. We operate with comprehensive public liability cover for accidental damage to your property during our work, and goods in transit insurance for items we carry in our vehicles as part of certain services. Our cleaners are fully insured and trained to work carefully and respectfully around your belongings. While issues are rare, if anything does go wrong, we follow a straightforward, fair process to put things right. We are happy to confirm our insurance details if you would like reassurance before booking.

What exactly is included in a domestic clean?

A standard domestic clean focuses on regular upkeep: dusting, wiping surfaces, vacuuming and mopping floors, cleaning kitchens and bathrooms, and light tidying of accessible areas. We clean worktops, cupboard fronts, hobs, sinks, toilets, basins, baths, showers, mirrors and high-touch points such as handles and switches. Internal bin emptying is included where accessible. Deep tasks such as oven interiors, inside windows and full carpet cleaning are not usually part of a standard visit but can often be added at extra cost. We agree a detailed task list with you before the first clean.

How far in advance should I book?

For regular weekly or fortnightly domestic cleaning in Deptford, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks ahead so we can match you with a suitable time slot and cleaner. For one-off deep cleans or end of tenancy cleans, more notice is helpful during busy periods such as month-end or just before holidays. That said, we do sometimes have gaps from cancellations or schedule changes, so if you need something sooner, it is still worth asking. We will always be open about our next available dates and times.

Do I need to be at home during the clean?

You are welcome to be at home if you prefer, especially for the first visit, but it is not essential. Many clients provide a key or access code so we can clean while they are at work, which is often more convenient. Any keys entrusted to us are coded and stored securely. At the first visit, we will agree how to lock up and where to leave the key if needed. Whichever option you choose, we treat your home with the same care and respect.
