How Our Domestic Cleaning Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quote

You can contact us by phone, email or enquiry form. We’ll ask a few simple questions about the size of your property, number of bathrooms, current condition and your priorities. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining the hourly rate or fixed price, what’s included, and suggested frequency if you want a regular service.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most homes, a brief virtual survey (photos or video call) is enough to confirm the quote and time required. For larger properties or more complex deep cleans, we may suggest a short onsite visit in Kennington. This helps us plan the right number of cleaners, equipment and time so we can complete the work to the expected standard without rushing.

3. Preparation Before We Arrive

Before your first clean, we’ll confirm the date, arrival time and access arrangements. We may ask you to:

Secure valuables and important documents
Pick up any delicate items from floors and worktops
Let us know about any surfaces or finishes needing special care

On the day, our professional, uniformed cleaners arrive with all necessary products and equipment, unless we’ve agreed to use yours. We then work systematically through your home, following the agreed checklist.

Transparent Pricing for Domestic Cleaning

We believe in clear, upfront pricing with no surprises. Our domestic cleaning in Kennington is usually charged:

By the hour for regular weekly or fortnightly cleans
As a fixed price for one-off deep cleans and end-of-tenancy work

Prices depend on property size, frequency, and the level of cleaning required. We’ll always confirm costs in writing before you book. If we feel that more or less time is needed after the first visit, we’ll discuss it with you openly so you stay in control of the budget.

Why Choose Professional Cleaners Instead of DIY

Cleaning your own home is possible, but there are real advantages to using a trained, professional team:

We use proven methods and commercial-grade products for a deeper, longer-lasting clean.
You save time and energy to focus on work, family or rest.
We follow structured checklists to ensure nothing is missed.
We’re fully insured, so you’re protected if something goes wrong.
We bring experience of many different property types and cleaning challenges.

The result is a consistently cleaner, fresher home with far less effort and stress on your side.

Insurance and Professional Standards

Your home and belongings are important, and we treat them with care. Kennington Cleaners operates with:

Public liability cover – protecting you and your property if accidental damage occurs during cleaning.
Goods in transit insurance – where we move or transport cleaning equipment and materials that come into contact with your property.
Trained teams – our cleaners are vetted, trained in safe product use, correct dilution, manual handling and respect for your home.

We work to clear internal procedures and quality standards, with spot checks and regular feedback requests to keep standards high.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

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

Use of appropriate products for delicate surfaces such as natural stone, wood and chrome.
Colour-coded cloths and mops to reduce cross-contamination between kitchens and bathrooms.
Measured product use to avoid unnecessary chemicals and residue.
Options for more eco-friendly products on request, subject to suitability.
Thoughtful use of water and energy where we provide equipment.

We’ll always discuss any special requirements you have, such as allergies, pets, or particular finishes that need extra care.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does domestic cleaning in Kennington cost?

The cost depends mainly on the size of your property, how often you’d like us to visit and the current condition of your home. Regular weekly or fortnightly cleans are usually charged at an hourly rate, with a minimum booking time to ensure we can complete all key tasks properly. One-off deep cleans and end-of-tenancy cleans are typically priced as a fixed quote. We’re happy to give an initial estimate over the phone, then confirm the exact price once we’ve understood your needs in more detail.

Can you provide same-day or urgent cleaning?

Where our schedule allows, we can sometimes arrange same-day or next-day domestic cleaning in Kennington, especially for one-off or urgent situations such as last-minute guests, moving dates or post-event tidying. Availability will depend on existing bookings and the size of the job. If we can’t offer your exact time, we’ll always suggest the nearest alternative. For urgent work, sending a few photos or a short video can help us assess realistically what can be achieved in the time you have available.

Are you insured if something is damaged during cleaning?

Yes. We operate with comprehensive public liability cover and appropriate goods in transit insurance for our equipment and materials. While incidents are rare, this cover is there to protect both you and us if accidental damage occurs during a clean. We ask that you point out any particularly fragile or irreplaceable items before we start, so we can take extra care or avoid them altogether. Any concerns are dealt with promptly and professionally through our office, with clear communication at every stage.

What exactly is included in a domestic clean?

A standard domestic clean focuses on the areas that make the biggest difference to daily living: dusting, vacuuming, mopping, bathroom and kitchen cleaning, and general surface wiping. We’ll agree a priority list with you in advance, so we focus on what matters most, whether that’s bathrooms, the kitchen or high-traffic areas. Deep cleaning tasks such as oven cleaning, inside kitchen cupboards, interior windows and limescale removal can be added by arrangement. We’ll always confirm in writing what is and isn’t included before the first visit.

How far in advance should I book?

For regular weekly or fortnightly domestic cleaning in Kennington, booking one to two weeks in advance usually gives the best choice of days and times. Deep cleans, end-of-tenancy work and post-builders cleans are best booked slightly earlier, particularly in busy periods such as month end or just before holidays. That said, we do sometimes have late cancellations or gaps we can fill at shorter notice. If you have a specific date in mind, contact us as early as possible so we can reserve a suitable slot for you.

Do I need to be at home while you clean?

No, you don’t have to be at home, although you’re welcome to be if you prefer. Many clients give us a spare key or arrange key collection from a concierge or neighbour. All keys are coded and stored securely when not in use. During the first visit, it can be helpful for you to be present at the beginning to walk us through the property and explain any preferences. After that, we can work independently following the agreed routine and access arrangements.
