How Our Domestic Cleaning Service Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or online to tell us about your property, the number of rooms, and what you would like cleaned. We’ll discuss your priorities, preferred days and any special requirements. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote, usually with an hourly rate and an estimate of how long your first visit will take.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For straightforward homes, a phone or virtual survey is normally enough. For larger or more complex properties, we may recommend a brief onsite visit. This allows us to assess room sizes, finishes, access and any delicate items, so we can plan the right team and equipment and give you an accurate estimate of time and cost.
3. Preparation & First Clean
Before the first clean, we confirm your booking, arrival window and key arrangements. On the day, our professional cleaner arrives with the agreed products and equipment (or uses yours, if preferred). We usually allow a little extra time on the initial visit to bring everything up to standard. After that, regular visits are typically quicker and more predictable in length.
Transparent Pricing for Domestic Cleaning in Streatham
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Our domestic cleaning is usually charged at an hourly rate, with the total cost depending on:
- Property size and number of rooms
- Current condition and level of clutter
- Frequency of visits (weekly, fortnightly, monthly)
- Any additional services requested (e.g. inside fridge, inside cupboards)
You will always receive a clear breakdown of expected hours and cost before work begins. There are no hidden call-out fees, and any changes to the scope of work are discussed and agreed in advance.
Why Choose Professional Domestic Cleaners Instead of DIY
Cleaning your own home is perfectly possible, but many of our clients find that bringing in professional cleaners offers clear benefits:
- Consistent standards – no rushed jobs after a long day at work
- Knowledge of the right products and methods for different surfaces
- Regular schedule that keeps dust and grime from building up
- More free time for family, work and rest
- Support with heavier or more awkward tasks
Because our cleaners are trained and experienced, they typically work more efficiently than a typical DIY clean, often achieving more in the same amount of time.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Your peace of mind is central to how we operate. Man and a Van Streatham is fully covered by public liability insurance, and our teams are trained to handle your belongings carefully and respectfully at all times.
Where we transport equipment or items between properties (for example, for one-off deep cleans or combined cleaning and moving services), we have appropriate goods in transit insurance. Staff are vetted, instructed in safe cleaning practices and supervised to ensure our standards are consistently met.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every home as if it were our own. That means using suitable cloths and tools to avoid scratching, colour-coding materials to minimise cross-contamination and taking care around delicate or sentimental items. If there is anything you would prefer us not to touch, simply let us know and we will note it on your file.
Where possible, we favour eco-conscious products and methods that are effective but gentler on the environment and your home. If you have particular allergies or product preferences, we can either use your chosen products or recommend alternatives to suit.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does domestic cleaning in Streatham cost?
Costs depend on the size of your property, how often you want us to visit and the condition of the home at the outset. We typically work to an hourly rate, with a minimum booking to ensure the cleaner has enough time to do a thorough job. During your enquiry, we’ll ask a few questions and give you an honest estimate of how many hours are required. There are no hidden extras, and any additional tasks are agreed with you before we proceed.
Can you provide same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?
Same-day or short-notice cleaning in Streatham is sometimes possible, especially mid-week, but it depends on our existing schedule. If you need urgent help – for example, before guests arrive or after an unexpected situation – contact us as early as you can. We’ll check availability, discuss your priorities and focus on the most important areas within the time available. While we can’t guarantee same-day slots, we will always be honest about what we can realistically achieve for you.
Are your cleaners insured while working in my home?
Yes. We hold public liability insurance to cover our work in your property, and appropriate goods in transit insurance when items or equipment are transported as part of a service. Our cleaners are also trained to work carefully and to report any concerns immediately. While incidents are rare, it’s important that you know you are properly protected. If you have valuable or particularly fragile items, let us know so we can take any additional precautions you would like.
What exactly is included in a standard domestic clean?
A standard domestic clean focuses on keeping your home hygienic and presentable on a regular basis. This typically includes dusting, vacuuming, mopping, cleaning bathrooms and toilets, wiping kitchen worktops and cupboard exteriors, cleaning sinks, hobs and splashbacks, and emptying bins. We also carry out light tidying of surfaces and straighten beds if requested. Internal oven cleaning, inside cupboards, full appliance cleaning, carpet shampooing and external windows are not part of the standard service, but can often be added as extras by arrangement.
How far in advance should I book domestic cleaning?
For regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning, it’s best to book at least one to two weeks in advance so we can secure your preferred day and time. One-off or deep cleans around busy periods, such as bank holidays or the start and end of tenancies, may require a little more notice. That said, we always try to accommodate last-minute requests where our schedule allows. Once your slot is confirmed, we aim to keep the same cleaner and time so you have a consistent, reliable routine.
