Who Our Domestic Cleaning Is For

We work with a wide range of clients across Catford, each with slightly different needs:

• Homeowners – Regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning to keep on top of dust, limescale and everyday mess.
• Renters – Ongoing cleaning to protect deposits and one-off deep cleans before inspections or move-out.
• Landlords – Pre- and post-tenancy cleans to present properties in their best light and meet inventory standards.
• Businesses – Domestic-style cleaning for small offices, studios or home-based workspaces.
• Students – End-of-term or end-of-tenancy cleans to bring shared houses and flats back up to standard.

Whether you need a one-off deep clean or regular domestic cleaning, we build the schedule around you.

What Is Not Included as Standard

To keep our pricing fair and clear, some tasks are not part of a normal domestic clean, but can often be added on request:

• Cleaning of the inside of ovens, fridges and freezers (available as an additional service)
• Carpet and upholstery shampooing (we offer this as a separate specialist service)
• External window cleaning above ground floor
• Gardening, rubbish removal or heavy decluttering
• Moving or lifting heavy furniture and appliances
• Steam cleaning of grout or very heavy post-builders cleaning

We are always happy to discuss extras. As working professionals, we prefer to be honest about what can be realistically and safely achieved in the booked time.

Our Domestic Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone, email or our online form and tell us about your property: number of bedrooms, bathrooms, flooring types and what you want done. We ask a few practical questions, then provide a clear estimate for either a one-off clean or a regular cleaning plan. There are no hidden extras – if we think more time is needed, we will say so up front.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most domestic cleaning, a short virtual survey (photos or video call) is enough to confirm the quote. For larger homes or where the property needs a deep restoration clean, we may visit in person. This helps us understand access, parking, flooring types and any delicate surfaces so we can choose the right products and equipment.

3. Preparation Before Cleaning

Before our cleaners arrive, we ask that:

• Valuables and important documents are safely put away
• Basic clutter is reduced where possible to maximise cleaning time
• We know about any alarm systems, pets or access instructions

On the day, our professional team arrives on time with all equipment and products needed. We walk through your priorities together, then get to work methodically, room by room.

Transparent Domestic Cleaning Prices in Catford

We price domestic cleaning in Catford mainly by time and level of work required. Typical options include:

• Regular cleaning – charged at an hourly rate with a minimum number of hours per visit
• One-off deep clean – priced by estimated hours based on condition and size of the property
• Specialist add-ons – such as oven cleaning or carpet cleaning, quoted separately

We explain clearly what can be achieved within the booked hours and agree priorities in advance. If, during the clean, we believe more time is needed to reach the standard you want, we will contact you before proceeding. You always stay in control of cost.

Why Choose Professional Domestic Cleaning Over DIY?

Many Catford households can manage basic cleaning, but bringing in a trained team offers clear advantages:

• We use commercial-grade products and equipment that give better, longer-lasting results.
• Our routines are efficient – years of experience mean we complete more in the same time.
• We understand how to care for different surfaces, finishes and fabrics without causing damage.
• Regular professional cleaning helps control allergens, dust mites and bacteria.
• You free up your own time while still living in a consistently clean environment.

DIY cleaning often means missed areas, worn-out products and jobs postponed. A planned professional schedule keeps standards steady week after week.

Insurance & Professional Standards

As a local company, we take responsibility seriously. Carpet Cleaning Catford is:

• Fully insured with comprehensive public liability cover
• Protected by appropriate goods in transit insurance for our equipment and materials
• Staffed by trained cleaners experienced in domestic and carpet care

Our teams follow clear procedures for key holding, alarm setting and property security. We treat every home with the same care we would expect in our own. If something does go wrong – which is rare – you have the reassurance that we are properly covered and will deal with it professionally.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We aim to clean thoroughly while protecting both your home and the wider environment:

• Using suitable products for each surface to avoid damage and premature wear
• Microfibre cloths and mop systems to reduce chemical use where possible
• Low-moisture techniques on carpets and soft furnishings to prevent over-wetting
• Careful dilution and disposal of cleaning solutions in line with regulations
• Energy-efficient equipment to reduce power consumption

If you have particular sensitivities or preferences – such as low-fragrance or pet-safe products – let us know and we will adapt our approach where feasible.

Local Domestic Cleaning Expertise in Catford

Based in Catford, we understand the types of properties in the area – from flats around the high street to terraced houses and larger family homes. We are used to dealing with:

• Busy commuter households with limited time for deep cleaning
• Rental properties that need to meet strict check-out standards
• Homes with children and pets where hygiene is especially important

Being local means we can be flexible with timings, offer realistic arrival windows and respond quickly to urgent requests when our schedule allows.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does domestic cleaning in Catford cost?

Costs depend mainly on the size of your property, the current condition and how often you would like us to visit. We usually work on an hourly rate with a minimum booking, and we are clear about what can be achieved in that time. One-off deep cleans are slightly higher per hour than regular visits due to the extra work involved. After a short discussion and, if needed, a quick survey, we provide a written quote so you know exactly what to expect.

Can you offer same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?

Where our schedule allows, we can provide same-day or short-notice domestic cleaning in Catford – for example before guests arrive or ahead of an inspection. Availability depends on existing bookings and the scale of work required. Smaller jobs are easier to slot in at short notice. If you need urgent help, call us rather than emailing; we can check our live schedule, advise honestly what’s realistic in the time, and confirm a fixed price before we attend.

Are your cleaners insured while working in my home?

Yes. We are a fully insured company with public liability insurance that covers our work in your property. Our equipment and materials are also protected by appropriate goods in transit insurance while we travel to and from your home. This protection sits alongside our own standards: careful handling of belongings, clear key-holding procedures and thorough staff training. In the unlikely event of any incident, we respond promptly and professionally, keeping you updated at every stage.

What’s included in a standard domestic cleaning visit?

A standard visit focuses on the areas you use every day: dusting and wiping surfaces, vacuuming and mopping floors, cleaning bathrooms and toilets, and wiping kitchen worktops, hob and appliance fronts. We also empty bins and tidy visible surfaces as time allows. Tasks such as oven interiors, inside fridges, deep limescale removal or carpet washing are not included as standard, but can be added by arrangement. Before your first clean, we agree priorities so our team concentrates on what matters most to you.

How far in advance should I book domestic cleaning?

For regular weekly or fortnightly slots, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance so we can offer your preferred day and time. One-off deep cleans, especially at busy times such as month-end or before holidays, also benefit from early booking. That said, we always keep some flexibility in our schedule for urgent or short-notice work. If you have a fixed deadline – for example a move-out date – let us know as early as possible so we can plan appropriately.

Do I need to be at home while you clean?

No, you don’t have to be present as long as access has been arranged. Many clients provide a key or door code, or organise key collection from a neighbour or agent. We operate strict key-holding procedures and never label keys with full addresses. If you prefer to be at home for the first visit and then decide later about unattended cleans, that’s absolutely fine. We will always lock up securely, set alarms as instructed and leave your home as we found it – just cleaner.
