Our Domestic Cleaning Service Explained
Our domestic cleaning service is designed to take care of the routine tasks that eat into your free time. We focus on hygiene, attention to detail, and a methodical approach, room by room.
Standard Domestic Cleaning Tasks
On a typical visit, our cleaners will:
- Dust and wipe all accessible surfaces, skirtings, and ledges
- Vacuum carpets, rugs, and hard floors
- Mop hard floors with appropriate solutions
- Clean kitchen worktops, cupboard doors, hobs, and splashbacks
- Wipe outside of appliances (oven, fridge, microwave)
- Clean and disinfect toilets, baths, showers, and sinks
- Polish mirrors and glass surfaces
- Empty indoor bins and replace liners (where provided)
- Light tidying such as straightening cushions and arranging items
We can also offer deep cleaning and end of tenancy cleaning on request, which include more intensive attention to detail throughout the property.
Local Domestic Cleaning Experts in Kennington
We know Kennington inside out – from period terraces and mansion flats to modern apartments and house shares. This local knowledge helps us allow realistic travel times, understand common building layouts, and plan access efficiently, which means less waiting around for you.
All our work is scheduled with Kennington residents in mind. We can usually offer appointments that work around school runs, commuting patterns, and building management rules. Our cleaners are local, long-term team members rather than transient labour, which supports consistency and trust.
Who Our Domestic Cleaning Service Is For
Homeowners
Busy professionals, families, and retirees use our regular domestic cleaning to keep their Kennington homes fresh without sacrificing their free time. We can tailor a plan to focus on the areas you find hardest to keep on top of.
Renters
Tenants benefit from routine cleaning to maintain a good relationship with landlords and protect their deposits. We also provide end of tenancy cleans that meet typical letting agent expectations in the area.
Landlords and Letting Agents
We work with landlords and agents who need fast, reliable domestic cleans between lets. We understand inventory requirements and can add carpet cleaning and upholstery cleaning where needed.
Businesses
Small offices, studios, and home-based businesses in Kennington use our domestic-style cleaning for premises that feel more like a home than a corporate office. We work quietly and respectfully around your working hours.
Students and Flatshares
Shared houses and student flats often need a reset. We provide one-off or regular cleans to keep communal areas hygienic and reduce disputes over chores, especially before inspections.
What Is Included in Our Domestic Cleaning
We always agree the scope with you in advance, but typical inclusions are:
- All accessible surfaces dusted and wiped
- Floors vacuumed and mopped (where suitable)
- Bathroom cleaning and disinfection (toilets, sinks, baths, showers)
- Kitchen cleaning (worktops, cupboard exteriors, hobs, sinks)
- Light internal window cleaning where reachable without ladders

What Is Excluded from Standard Domestic Cleaning
To keep visits efficient and safe, some tasks are not included as standard:

If you need any of these, we can often provide them as an add-on or refer you to the right specialist service.
How Our Domestic Cleaning Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact us by phone, email, or through our website. We’ll ask a few straightforward questions about your property type, number of rooms, current condition, and what you’d like us to focus on. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining the service type (for example, weekly clean or one-off deep clean) and estimated time needed.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most domestic cleans, a brief virtual survey using photos or a video call is sufficient. For larger or more complex homes, we may recommend a short onsite visit to assess access, parking, and any particular concerns, such as delicate surfaces or heavy soiling. This ensures we send the right team, with the right equipment, and set the correct expectations.
3. Preparation Before We Arrive
We’ll confirm your appointment time and what you need to do in advance. Typically, we ask that:
- Valuables and confidential paperwork are put away
- Any special instructions are written down or emailed
- Clean bedding is left out if beds are to be changed
- Access is arranged via key, key safe, concierge, or someone being present
On the day, our professional, uniformed cleaner(s) will arrive, walk through your priorities, and then work systematically through the property.
Transparent Pricing for Domestic Cleaning
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Our domestic cleaning is usually charged:
- By the hour for regular weekly or fortnightly cleans
- As a fixed price for one-off and end of tenancy cleans, based on property size and condition
Rates take into account travel, equipment, and the experience of our trained staff. There are no hidden extras: any parking or congestion charges applicable to Kennington are discussed in advance. We’ll always confirm the price and scope in writing before the first visit, and any changes are agreed with you first.
Why Professional Cleaning Beats DIY
Cleaning your own home is possible, but a professional service offers clear advantages:
- Consistency – a set standard every visit, not just when you have energy.
- Time saving – you reclaim hours each week for family, work, or rest.
- Professional products and methods – we use appropriate solutions and techniques for different surfaces to avoid damage.
- Objective eye – we spot build-up and hidden grime that is easy to overlook in your own home.
- Reliability – if your regular cleaner is unwell or on leave, we can usually provide cover.
For landlords and businesses, professional cleaning also provides a clear, documented standard that helps with inventories, inspections, and compliance.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your home and belongings are important, and we treat them accordingly. Carpet Cleaning Kennington is a fully insured, locally established company.
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage to your property during cleaning.
- Goods in transit insurance – covers items we transport as part of related services, such as taking rugs offsite for specialist treatment.
- Trained cleaning teams – every cleaner receives practical training on safe product use, colour-coding, and care of different surfaces.
Staff are reference-checked and work to clear procedures. We’re happy to explain our insurance cover and provide confirmation on request.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to clean effectively while minimising impact on your home and the environment.
- Surface protection – we test unfamiliar materials in a discreet spot, use the mildest effective solutions, and follow manufacturer guidance.
- Equipment care – vacuum filters are cleaned regularly and mops are changed frequently to avoid cross-contamination.
- Thoughtful product use – where practical, we choose lower-impact, concentrated products and avoid overuse of strong chemicals.
- Waste reduction – we use reusable cloths and microfibres, and encourage sensible recycling of household waste that we handle.
Our goal is a clean, healthy living space without unnecessary harshness or waste.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does domestic cleaning in Kennington cost?
Pricing depends on the size of your property, how often you’d like us to visit, and its current condition. Regular weekly or fortnightly cleans are usually charged by the hour, with a minimum booking time to ensure we can work properly. One-off and end of tenancy cleans are priced per job, based on the number of rooms and any add-ons such as carpet cleaning. We always provide a clear quote in advance so you know exactly what’s included and there are no surprises on the day.
Can you provide same-day or urgent cleaning?
Where possible, we do accommodate same-day or short-notice bookings in Kennington, particularly for end of tenancy or pre-inspection cleans. Availability depends on our existing schedule and team capacity, so it’s best to call us directly if you need something urgent. If we can’t offer a full service at short notice, we may still be able to provide a focused clean of key areas such as kitchen and bathrooms. Any urgent booking will be quoted clearly before we confirm your slot.
Are your cleaners insured while working in my home?
Yes. Our company is fully insured with public liability cover in place whenever our cleaners are working in your home. In addition, related services that involve transporting items benefit from goods in transit insurance. While incidents are rare due to our training and careful approach, this protection is there for everyone’s peace of mind. We also maintain clear procedures for reporting and resolving any issues promptly. If you’d like to see details of our policies, we’re happy to share them before you book.
What exactly is included in a domestic cleaning visit?
A standard visit focuses on routine tasks: dusting and wiping accessible surfaces, vacuuming and mopping floors, cleaning kitchen worktops and cupboard fronts, and fully cleaning bathrooms including toilets, basins, showers and baths. We also tidy living areas and bedrooms and can make beds if clean linens are left out. Internal windows and mirrors are cleaned where reachable. Before we start, we agree a checklist based on your priorities, so you know precisely which rooms and tasks are covered each time.
How far in advance should I 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 in Kennington. One-off and end of tenancy cleans are best arranged as soon as you know your key dates, especially during busy moving periods. That said, we often have some flexibility for shorter notice bookings, so it’s always worth asking. Once your slot is confirmed, we’ll keep it reserved for you and send reminders before each visit if required.
Do I need to be at home while you clean?
No, you don’t have to be at home as long as we have safe, agreed access to the property. Many clients provide a key, use a key safe, or arrange access through a concierge. We have strict procedures for key labelling and storage to keep your details confidential. If you prefer to be present for the first visit and then leave us to it afterwards, that’s absolutely fine. We’ll always lock up securely and follow your instructions when we finish.
