Local Wandsworth Expertise

We are a locally based team, working across Wandsworth, Battersea, Putney, Earlsfield and the wider SW18 area. Because we know the area well, we are used to a mix of Victorian terraces, modern flats and HMOs, each with different cleaning priorities and access requirements. Travel times, parking and building rules are factored into our planning so that we can arrive on time and work efficiently, whether you are in a riverside apartment or a family home near Wandsworth Common.

Who Our House Cleaning Is For

Homeowners – regular or ad-hoc cleaning to keep your home under control, especially with busy work and family life.
Renters – one-off or periodic cleans to protect deposits and keep rented homes in good order.
Landlords – reliable turn-around cleans between tenancies for studios through to multi-bed properties.
Businesses – light domestic-style cleaning for home offices and small commercial spaces in residential buildings.
Students – shared house and flat cleaning at the end of term or before inspections.

What Is Not Included as Standard

To keep our pricing fair and clear, some tasks are not included in a standard house clean, but may be added or quoted separately:

External window cleaning or work at height requiring ladders
Carpet steam cleaning or upholstery shampooing
Cleaning of heavily soiled areas requiring specialist chemicals
Deep oven cleaning (full dismantling and soak of components)
Garden, balcony or exterior pressure washing
Decluttering, organising or removal of large quantities of rubbish

If you are unsure whether something is included, we will confirm it clearly during quotation so there are no surprises on the day.

How Our House Cleaning Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone, email or online form with some basic details: property size, number of bathrooms, type of clean (regular or one-off) and any priorities. We provide a clear, itemised quote based on the information you give us. For regular cleaning, we also discuss preferred days and times to match your routine.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most domestic properties, a brief virtual survey using photos or a video call is sufficient. For larger homes, shared houses or properties in particularly worn condition, we may recommend an onsite visit. This allows us to assess access, parking, cleaning priorities and any sensitive surfaces so we can allocate the right time, team members and products.

3. Preparation & Cleaning Day

Before arrival, we confirm your booking, estimated duration and team size. On the day, our professional cleaners arrive in uniform and bring all necessary cleaning products and equipment, unless you prefer we use your own. We walk through the property with you where possible, clarify any instructions, and then work methodically room by room. At the end, we carry out a final check and invite you to review the work while we are still onsite.

Transparent Pricing Explained

We price our house cleaning services based on three main factors: property size, condition and frequency. Smaller, regularly cleaned flats naturally cost less per visit than large houses needing a deep clean. Regular bookings benefit from lower rates because we can maintain the standard more easily.

All quotes are given upfront and include labour, cleaning products and equipment unless otherwise agreed. There are no hidden charges for travel within our usual Wandsworth service area. Any additional tasks requested on the day are discussed and agreed before we proceed.

Why Choose Professional House Cleaning Over DIY

Cleaning your own home is perfectly possible, but many clients find that professional cleaning offers clear advantages. Our cleaners follow proven routines, use commercial-grade products and work efficiently, often completing in a few hours what might take you a whole day. Consistent, scheduled cleans keep limescale, grease and dust under control, protecting surfaces and helping appliances last longer.

Importantly, you also gain accountability: if something is missed, you can contact us to put it right. With a professional service, you are not relying on spare time or energy at the end of a long week; we take that mental load off your shoulders.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Your home and belongings are important, and we treat them accordingly. Wandsworth Cleaners is fully covered with:

Public liability cover – protects you if accidental damage occurs to your property while we are working.
Goods in transit insurance – for occasions where we transport cleaning equipment and materials to and from your premises.
Trained and vetted teams – our cleaners receive ongoing training in safe product use, correct dilution, and care of different surface types.

We follow clear checklists, health and safety procedures and access protocols for key holding where required. All insurances and documentation are available to view on request.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We aim to clean thoroughly while caring for your home, your health and the environment. High-touch areas are disinfected carefully, but we avoid harsh chemicals where gentler products will do the job. On sensitive surfaces such as natural stone, solid wood or high-gloss finishes, we use appropriate, pH-balanced cleaners to prevent damage.

Where practical, we favour concentrated products to reduce packaging, use microfibre cloths that can be laundered and reused, and plan routes sensibly to limit unnecessary travel. If you prefer eco-labelled products, we can accommodate this, and we are happy to work with client-supplied solutions where they are suitable.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does house cleaning in Wandsworth cost?

Pricing depends on property size, condition and how often you would like us to clean. Smaller one-bedroom flats may only require a couple of hours, while larger family homes will take longer. We usually work to a clear hourly rate, with a minimum booking time to ensure a proper job is done. After a brief discussion or virtual survey, we provide a fixed estimate for the initial visit and a guide for any ongoing regular cleaning, with no obligation to proceed.

Can you provide same-day or urgent cleaning?

We do our best to accommodate urgent and same-day requests in Wandsworth, especially for move-outs, last-minute inspections or unexpected visitors. Same-day availability depends on our schedule and team capacity, so the earlier in the day you contact us, the more likely we can help. Where we cannot offer same-day, we will suggest the soonest alternative and may prioritise essential areas such as bathrooms and kitchens to meet your immediate needs within the time available.

Are you insured while working in my home?

Yes. We hold comprehensive public liability cover and goods in transit insurance to protect both your property and our team. This means that in the unlikely event of accidental damage or an incident involving our equipment, there is appropriate cover in place. All cleaners are trained in safe working practices, including correct lifting, product handling and the use of protective equipment where required. If you would like to see copies of our insurance certificates, we are happy to provide them before any work is confirmed.

What exactly is included in a typical house cleaning visit?

A standard visit focuses on dusting, wiping and disinfecting surfaces, cleaning bathrooms and kitchens, vacuuming carpets and mopping hard floors. We aim to leave every room looking tidy and hygienic, with bins emptied and obvious marks removed from surfaces where possible. Tasks such as internal window cleaning, skirting boards and light fittings are usually rotated, depending on the time booked and the condition of the property. Before the first clean, we agree priorities with you so that the time spent matches what matters most in your home.

How far in advance should I book?

For regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance to secure your preferred day and time. One-off or deep cleans, especially at busy times such as the end of the month or before holidays, can book up quickly, so a similar lead time is helpful. That said, we always keep some flexibility in our schedule for new clients and urgent enquiries in Wandsworth. Even if you need something sooner, it is worth contacting us to see what we can arrange.

Do I need to be at home while you clean?

You are welcome to be at home, but you do not have to be. Many clients choose to give us keys or arrange access via a concierge, key safe or neighbour. We have clear key-holding procedures and record-keeping to ensure your property remains secure at all times. If you are home for the first visit, we can walk through your preferences and then work independently on future cleans. However we arrange it, our goal is to make the process as straightforward and unobtrusive as possible for you.
