Our Step-by-Step House Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & quote

Contact us by phone, email or our online form and tell us about your property: number of bedrooms, bathrooms, pets, and the type of clean you need. We provide a clear, no-obligation estimate based on the size and condition of your home and the frequency of cleaning. Where necessary, we’ll ask a few extra questions or request photos to give you an accurate price.

2. Survey (virtual or onsite)

For larger homes, student HMOs, or properties requiring deep cleaning or end-of-tenancy work, we may carry out a short virtual survey (video call or photos) or a quick onsite visit in Deptford. This helps us understand access, parking, and any particular areas of concern so we can allocate the right time, staff, and equipment.

3. Preparation

Before your clean, we confirm the date, arrival window, and key arrangements. On the day, our professional, uniformed cleaners arrive with all necessary products and equipment (unless you prefer we use your own). We walk through the property with you where possible, agree priorities, protect any delicate areas, and then work methodically room by room to the agreed checklist.

Transparent Pricing for House Cleaning

We price fairly and transparently based on the time required and the level of work involved:

• Regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning is usually charged at an hourly rate with a minimum visit length.
• One-off and deep cleaning is quoted as a fixed price or estimated hours depending on complexity.
• End-of-tenancy and landlord cleans are typically fixed-price based on property size and inventory requirements.

All costs are confirmed in writing before you book. There are no hidden charges for products, equipment or standard travel within the Deptford area. Additional services such as carpet cleaning or oven cleaning are itemised clearly so you can add or remove them as required.

Why Professional House Cleaning Beats DIY

Most of our Deptford clients are perfectly capable of cleaning; what they lack is time and specialist know-how. Using a professional cleaning service offers several advantages:

• We use commercial-grade products and equipment that achieve a deeper, longer-lasting clean.
• Our cleaners are trained in efficient methods, safe product use and correct surface care.
• You get consistent results and a structured checklist, not a rushed tidy.
• We spot issues early – mould patches, leaks, staining – and flag them so they can be dealt with.
• You save hours each week, reducing stress and freeing up your evenings and weekends.

For landlords and tenants, using a recognised, fully insured company also helps avoid disputes over cleanliness at check-out, as our work is methodical and well documented.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your home is important, and we treat it that way. Deptford Carpet Cleaners operates with robust cover and standards, including:

• Public liability cover – protecting you and your property should accidental damage occur during cleaning.
• Goods in transit insurance – for equipment and materials we bring to and from your property, so you’re not exposed to risk.
• Trained cleaning teams – staff are vetted, referenced, and trained in correct product usage, colour-coding, and health & safety.

We follow detailed checklists, use appropriate PPE where required, and work in line with UK industry best practice for domestic and light commercial cleaning.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We aim to clean thoroughly while respecting your home, belongings, and the environment:

• Use of microfibre cloths and modern equipment to reduce chemical use where possible.
• Option for eco-friendlier products on request, ideal for homes with children, pets or allergies.
• Protective measures such as corner guards and careful handling of furniture and décor.
• Thoughtful water and energy use: no unnecessary waste, and equipment maintained for efficiency.

We’ll always check before moving fragile items and can avoid particular rooms or surfaces if you prefer. Our aim is a home that’s not only clean but also cared for with respect.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does house cleaning in Deptford cost?

Pricing depends on the size of your property, how often you’d like us to visit, and whether it’s a regular or one-off clean. As a guide, smaller flats in Deptford typically require fewer hours than larger family houses, and regular visits usually work out cheaper per visit than occasional cleans. We’ll ask a few simple questions, then give you a clear estimate or fixed price before you book so you know exactly what to expect with no hidden extras.

Can you provide same-day or urgent house cleaning?

Where our schedule allows, we do our best to accommodate same-day or short-notice cleans in Deptford, particularly for move-outs, last-minute inspections or unexpected visitors. Availability depends on existing bookings and the size of the job. Urgent cleans are usually one-off deep or intensive sessions rather than standard maintenance visits. If you need fast help, call us as early in the day as possible, let us know your deadline, and we’ll confirm honestly what we can achieve in the available time.

Are you insured while working in my home?

Yes. We are fully insured to work in homes and small business premises across Deptford. Our cover includes public liability insurance in case of accidental damage to your property, as well as goods in transit insurance for the equipment and materials we bring to your home. In addition, our trained cleaners follow strict procedures to minimise risk in the first place. If you’d like to see proof of insurance or clarify what’s covered, we’re happy to provide documentation before you book.

What exactly is included in a house cleaning service?

Our standard service focuses on day-to-day cleaning tasks that keep your home hygienic and pleasant to live in. This usually covers dusting, vacuuming, mopping, cleaning bathrooms and toilets, wiping kitchen worktops and cupboards, and cleaning appliance exteriors. We also clean mirrors, light switches and skirting boards where accessible. More intensive tasks like oven cleaning, inside-fridge cleaning, heavy limescale removal or professional carpet cleaning are not included as standard but can be added if requested in advance so we can allow enough time.

How far in advance should I book my clean?

For regular weekly or fortnightly visits, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks ahead so we can secure a consistent day and time that suits you. One-off or deep cleans, especially at busy times such as month-end or just before holidays, can book up quickly, so the earlier you get in touch, the better. That said, we do sometimes have short-notice gaps in our schedule. If your timing is flexible, we’ll always try to fit you in as soon as we reasonably can.
