Who Our House Cleaning Is For

Homeowners

If you live in Kennington and want a reliable, long-term cleaning partner, we provide regular weekly or fortnightly house cleaning to keep on top of dust, limescale and everyday mess. Many of our clients have been with us for years and trust us with keys and alarm codes.

Renters & Tenants

Busy tenants often use us for one-off deep cleans or ongoing maintenance, especially in shared flats and houses. We work around your schedule and can help bring the property back to a good standard before inspections or end of tenancy.

Landlords & Letting Agents

We support landlords and agents with pre-tenancy and mid-tenancy cleaning, ensuring properties are presented well for viewings or new move-ins. Our detailed checklists help reduce complaints and support a smoother handover.

Businesses & Home Offices

For those running a business from home or managing small offices in Kennington, we provide discreet domestic-style commercial cleaning. We focus on hygiene, presentation and the specific needs of hybrid workspaces.

Students & Shared Homes

Students and house-shares often call us just before inspections or move-out. We offer practical, affordable shared house cleaning to bring kitchens, bathrooms and communal areas back under control.

What Is Not Included as Standard

To keep pricing fair and clear, some tasks are not included in a standard house clean but can often be added or quoted separately:

Professional carpet and upholstery cleaning with extraction machines
Exterior window cleaning above ground level
Cleaning of areas requiring ladders or unsafe access
Deep oven cleaning (interior dismantling and soak)
Mould remediation beyond light surface mould
Gardening, exterior pressure washing or pest control
Decluttering, rubbish removal or disposal of large items

If you are unsure whether something is included, just ask during the quotation stage and we will clarify in writing.

How Our House Cleaning Process Works

1. Enquiry & Quotation

You can contact Kennington Cleaners by phone, email or our online form. We will ask a few straightforward questions about your property: number of bedrooms and bathrooms, type of flooring, current condition and your priorities. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation estimate for regular or one-off cleaning.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most standard domestic cleans, photos or a short video call are enough to confirm the quote. For larger homes, heavily soiled properties or combined services (for example, cleaning plus carpet cleaning), we may recommend an onsite survey. This allows us to check access, parking, and specific areas of concern so we can allocate the right time, team and products.

3. Preparation Before the Clean

We will agree a date and time, then send you a brief preparation guide. We usually ask that surfaces are reasonably clear, valuables and important documents are put safely away, and pets are secured if they are nervous around strangers. Our professional cleaning team then arrives with all necessary equipment and products, ready to work through the agreed checklist methodically.

Transparent Pricing for House Cleaning in Kennington

We price our house cleaning fairly and transparently, based on:

Property size and layout
Frequency of visits (weekly, fortnightly, monthly, one-off)
Condition of the property and any special requirements
Number of cleaners required and time on site

Regular cleaning is usually priced at a fixed hourly rate with a minimum booking time, while deep cleans and move-in / move-out cleans are normally quoted as a fixed price after assessment. All charges, including any parking or congestion costs where applicable, are explained in advance so you know exactly what to expect.

Why Choose Professional Cleaners Instead of DIY

Many clients come to us after realising how time-consuming and physically demanding thorough house cleaning can be, especially in London homes with small bathrooms, heavy limescale and mixed flooring. A professional cleaning team brings:

Experience in tackling built-up grime, limescale and grease efficiently
Commercial-grade products and tools chosen for UK homes
Systematic methods that reduce missed areas and rework
Consistent results week after week, even when you are busy
Peace of mind from insurance-backed work and trained staff

In many cases, using professionals is more economical than buying multiple products, equipment and spending your own time trying to achieve the same results.

Insurance, Training and Professional Standards

As a responsible local cleaning company, we take protection and standards seriously. Kennington Cleaners maintains:

Public liability cover to protect against accidental damage or injury while we work in your home
Goods in transit insurance for equipment and cleaning materials we bring to and from your property
Trained cleaning teams who follow safe working methods and UK regulations on chemicals and equipment

All staff are vetted, trained in-house and supervised, with refresher training provided for new products and techniques. We also operate clear checklists and quality checks so every clean is carried out to an agreed standard, not guesswork.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We approach every home with care and respect. We protect delicate surfaces, use colour-coded cloths to avoid cross-contamination, and choose products appropriate for your materials (for example, stone, wood or chrome). Where possible, we use low-odour, environmentally considerate products suitable for homes with children and pets, while still achieving hygienic results.

We minimise waste by re-using washable microfibre cloths, dosing chemicals accurately and planning our travel routes across Kennington sensibly to reduce unnecessary mileage. If you prefer particular brands or hypoallergenic products, we can usually accommodate this – just mention it at the quotation stage.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does house cleaning in Kennington cost?

Pricing depends mainly on the size of your property, its current condition and how often you would like us to attend. Regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning is usually charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking time, while deep cleans and move-in/move-out jobs are often quoted as a fixed price. During your enquiry, we will ask a few simple questions, then provide a clear written quote with no hidden extras such as products or equipment. Any potential parking or congestion charges are explained upfront.

Can you provide same-day or urgent house cleaning?

Same-day or urgent appointments are sometimes possible, particularly on weekdays outside peak changeover periods. Availability will depend on the size of the job, your location within Kennington and whether you require a standard clean or a more extensive deep clean. If we cannot accommodate you immediately, we will always offer the earliest realistic time slot and may suggest splitting the work into priority areas. It is always best to call us as early in the day as possible for urgent requests.

Are your cleaners insured while working in my home?

Yes. Kennington Cleaners is fully covered with public liability insurance and goods in transit cover for the equipment and materials we bring with us. This means that in the unlikely event of accidental damage or an incident while we are working, you have proper protection in place. Our staff are trained to handle your belongings carefully, follow safe systems of work and report any issues immediately. We are happy to confirm our insurance details on request and can provide evidence to landlords or managing agents if needed.

What exactly is included in a standard house clean?

A standard house clean focuses on keeping your home hygienic and presentable on a regular basis. This normally covers dusting and wiping surfaces, vacuuming and mopping floors, cleaning bathrooms and toilets, wiping kitchen worktops and appliance fronts, and general tidying such as emptying bins. We work from an agreed checklist tailored to your property and priorities. Tasks like interior oven cleaning, carpet shampooing, heavy limescale removal or decluttering are not automatically included, but can usually be added as extras or booked as a separate deep clean.

How far in advance should I book a house clean?

For regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning, it is best to book at least one to two weeks in advance so we can allocate a consistent slot and cleaner. For one-off or deep cleans, especially around month-end, bank holidays or student move-out periods, more notice is helpful as these dates get busy. That said, we do hold some flexibility for last-minute needs, so it is always worth contacting us. Once booked, we confirm your appointment and can set up a recurring schedule if required.
