Our Step-by-Step House Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & clear quotation
You can contact us by phone, email or via our online form. We will ask a few straightforward questions about your property: size, number of rooms, flooring types and any particular concerns (pets, allergies, heavy limescale, etc.). Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote explaining what is included, how long the clean is likely to take and how many cleaners will attend.
2. Survey – virtual or onsite
For most standard homes, a short virtual survey using photos or a quick video call is sufficient. For larger houses, HMOs or properties in very poor condition, we may recommend a brief onsite visit. This helps us assess access, parking, and any specialist treatments needed. It also ensures the price we give is accurate and that we allow enough time to complete the work properly without rushing.
3. Preparation and cleaning day
Before arrival, we confirm the date, time and key arrangements. On the day, our professional team arrives with all required equipment and products. We walk through the property with you (where possible) to confirm priorities, then work methodically from top to bottom: dusting, degreasing, descaling, vacuuming and mopping. At the end, we invite you to check the work so we can address anything that needs a final touch.
Transparent Pricing for House Cleaning
We price our house cleaning based on the size and condition of the property, the level of detail required and how often we visit. Typical options include:
- Regular maintenance cleaning charged by the hour with a minimum visit length
- Fixed-price one-off or deep cleans for clearly defined tasks
- Bespoke quotes for large or complex properties and HMO/shared housing
Our quotes clearly state what is included, how many cleaners will attend and any optional extras (such as oven or carpet cleaning). There are no hidden charges for cleaning products or standard equipment, and parking or congestion costs are explained where applicable.
Why Choose Professional House Cleaning Over DIY?
Even the most diligent homeowner will miss areas over time. Professional cleaning offers:
- Systematic, top-to-bottom routines developed through experience
- Commercial-grade products and equipment for better hygiene and stain removal
- Time savings so you can focus on work, family or simply resting
- Reduced wear on carpets, flooring and fixtures through correct product use
- Independent proof of cleanliness for landlords, agents or deposit disputes
Because our team is trained and supervised, we can work quickly without cutting corners, achieving a standard that is difficult to reach consistently on your own.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your property is in safe hands. Kingston upon Thames Carpet Cleaners operates with:
- Public liability cover to protect you in the rare event of accidental damage
- Goods in transit insurance for any items we transport as part of a wider service
- Trained, vetted cleaning teams who follow agreed risk assessments and safe working practices
We keep up to date with industry guidance on cleaning agents, colour-coding, cross-contamination control and COSHH regulations. This ensures our work is not only effective but also safe for your family, pets and visitors.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We approach every job with respect for your home and belongings. Floors, worktops and delicate surfaces are tested before stronger cleaning agents are used, and we use appropriate pads and cloths to avoid scratching. Where possible, we select low-impact, environmentally responsible products and manage our waste carefully.
Equipment is maintained and regularly replaced to ensure good filtration and energy efficiency. We also plan routes carefully in Kingston upon Thames to reduce unnecessary travel, helping to minimise our environmental footprint while still providing a prompt, reliable service.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does house cleaning in Kingston upon Thames cost?
Pricing depends on the size and condition of your property, as well as how often you would like us to visit. Smaller flats needing light, regular cleaning will cost less than a large family home requiring deeper attention. After a short discussion, and if needed a virtual survey, we provide a clear quote with an hourly rate or fixed price. There are no hidden extras for standard products and equipment, and any additional services, such as oven or carpet cleaning, are itemised so you can choose what suits your budget.
Can you provide same-day or urgent house cleaning?
We do our best to accommodate urgent or same-day requests in Kingston upon Thames, especially for move-outs, last-minute viewings or post-event cleans. Availability will depend on our schedule and the size of the property. If we cannot complete a full deep clean at very short notice, we will advise what is realistically achievable in the time available and prioritise key areas like kitchens and bathrooms. Calling us as early as possible in the day gives the best chance of securing an urgent visit.
Are you insured in case something gets damaged?
Yes. We operate with comprehensive public liability cover for work carried out in your home and goods in transit insurance where we move or transport items as part of a broader service. Our cleaners are trained to handle belongings carefully and to report any issues immediately. While incidents are very rare, if something is accidentally damaged during cleaning, we follow a clear process: we notify you, document what has happened and work with our insurer and suppliers to repair or replace the item as appropriate.
What exactly is included in your house cleaning service?
Our standard house cleaning covers general dusting, wiping and sanitising of accessible surfaces; full bathroom and WC cleaning; kitchen worktops, hob surface and exterior of appliances; vacuuming of carpets and soft furnishings; and mopping of hard floors. We also clean internal glass and mirrors and pay attention to details such as skirting boards and door handles. Deep cleaning of ovens, inside fridges, carpets and upholstery is not included as standard but can be added. We will always confirm in writing what is included in your individual quote.
How far in advance should I book a house clean?
For regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning in Kingston upon Thames, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance so we can offer your preferred day and time. For one-off and deep cleans, more notice is ideal, particularly during busy periods such as end-of-tenancy season or before major holidays. That said, we keep some flexibility for shorter-notice work and will always let you know our next available slots. If you have a fixed deadline, such as a move-out date, contact us as early as possible so we can reserve the time.
Do I need to be at home while you clean?
You are welcome to be present, but you do not have to be. Many clients prefer to give us a key or arrange access via a lockbox, which we manage securely under our key-holding procedures. Before any unattended clean, we agree instructions, alarm codes if needed and contact details in case we have questions on the day. At the end of the visit, we lock up as instructed and can send photos or a short report if you are not returning immediately, giving you peace of mind that everything has been completed as agreed.
