Our Step-by-Step Domestic Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone, email, or our online form, and tell us about your property in Catford – size, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and what you would like done. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the time and level of work required. If you have specific priorities or areas you are concerned about, we note these from the start.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For straightforward weekly cleans, a brief virtual survey or detailed discussion is usually enough. For larger homes, deep cleans, or end-of-tenancy work, we may recommend an onsite visit. This helps us estimate time accurately, highlight any access or parking issues, and confirm exactly what is included. By assessing the property properly, we avoid surprise costs or rushed work on the day.

3. Preparation & Cleaning Day

Before the first visit, we confirm your checklist, timings, and access arrangements. On the day, our professional team arrives on time with the agreed equipment and products (or uses yours, if preferred). We walk through any key areas, then work systematically through the property. At the end, we can review the clean with you, note any adjustments for next time, and agree regular appointments if required.

Transparent Pricing for Domestic Cleaning in Catford

Our pricing is straightforward and based mainly on time, frequency, and the type of clean:

• Regular weekly or fortnightly domestic cleaning – charged at an hourly rate with a minimum number of hours per visit.
• One-off deep cleans – priced according to property size, condition, and any extras such as oven or fridge cleaning.
• End of tenancy cleans – usually a fixed price once we know the layout, level of furnishing, and any special requirements.

We provide written or emailed quotes so you can see exactly what you are paying for. There are no hidden call-out fees, and any additional tasks are agreed in advance, not added on without discussion.

Why Use Professional Cleaners Instead of DIY?

Many clients in Catford are perfectly capable of cleaning themselves, but simply do not have the time or energy to do it thoroughly every week. Working with a professional domestic cleaning company brings several advantages:

• Consistent standards – you get the same level of clean every visit.
• Time savings – you gain hours back each week for work, family, or rest.
• Better equipment and products – we use effective, appropriate solutions.
• Trained techniques – our cleaners know how to clean efficiently without damage.
• Accountability – if something is missed, we put it right.

Instead of cleaning late at night or at the weekend, you walk into a home that is already done for you.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Allowing someone into your home is a matter of trust. Cleaner Catford takes that responsibility seriously.

• Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to your property caused by our team while working.
• Goods in transit insurance – where we transport our own equipment and materials, they are properly insured while on the move.
• Trained cleaning teams – our staff receive training in safe product use, correct cleaning methods, and respectful conduct in clients’ homes.

We also maintain clear health and safety procedures, including risk assessment for more complex cleans and appropriate use of PPE where required.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We aim to clean thoroughly while looking after both your home and the wider environment.

• Surfaces and finishes – we check material types and use suitable products to avoid scratching, dulling, or other damage.
• Soft furnishings – we take care when vacuuming and moving light items, and avoid harsh products on delicate fabrics.
• Products – where possible, we use low-odour, environmentally considerate cleaning agents, or can use your preferred brands.
• Waste – we bag general waste and recycling separately if you wish, using your household bins and local collections.

Our goal is a clean, fresh home with minimal disruption and no unnecessary impact on the environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does domestic cleaning in Catford cost?

The cost depends mainly on the size of your property, how often you want us to visit, and the level of cleaning required. Regular weekly or fortnightly cleans are charged at a simple hourly rate with a minimum booking length, while one-off deep or end of tenancy cleans are usually priced as a fixed job. Once we know the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, plus any extras such as oven cleaning, we provide a clear quotation so you know exactly what to expect.

Can you provide same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?

Where our schedule allows, we do offer same-day or short-notice domestic cleaning in Catford, particularly for urgent situations such as last-minute visits, inspections, or moving dates. Availability varies depending on the day and time, so the earlier you contact us, the better we can help. If we cannot fit you in at very short notice, we will offer the nearest possible slot and may suggest a focused clean that targets your priority rooms first.

Are your cleaners insured while working in my home?

Yes. Cleaner Catford operates with comprehensive public liability cover, which protects you in the unlikely event of accidental damage while we are cleaning. Our equipment and materials are also covered by appropriate goods in transit insurance when we are travelling to and from your property. We combine this with staff training, sensible procedures, and careful handling of your belongings to reduce the risk of incidents in the first place, giving you confidence when you hand over the keys.

What is included in a standard domestic cleaning visit?

A standard visit focuses on the key areas that keep your home feeling clean and tidy. This typically includes dusting and wiping accessible surfaces, vacuuming carpets and rugs, mopping hard floors, cleaning kitchen worktops and hob, and full cleaning of bathrooms and toilets. We also empty bins and carry out light touch-ups on doors and switches. If you have specific priorities, such as pet hair control or extra attention in bathrooms, we build these into your regular checklist so the service reflects your needs.

How far in advance do I need to book?

For regular weekly or fortnightly domestic cleaning, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance to secure your preferred day and time. For one-off or deep cleans, more notice is helpful, especially around busy periods such as month-end, bank holidays, or university term changes. That said, we will always try to accommodate shorter notice requests where our schedule allows. Once your regular slot is in place, it is reserved for you on an ongoing basis unless you ask to change it.

Do I need to be at home while you clean?

No, you do not have to be present while we clean, although you are welcome to be if you prefer. Many clients in Catford provide a spare key, key safe code, or arrange access via a concierge so we can clean while they are at work. We operate secure key-holding procedures and only trusted professional team members handle access details. Before the first visit, we agree exactly how to lock up and where to leave the key so you can return to a clean, secure home.
