Who Our House Cleaning Service Is For
Homeowners
Many Putney homeowners use our regular cleaning to keep on top of dust, limescale and daily mess, especially in busy family homes. We protect your fixtures, fittings and finishes with appropriate products, and you decide which rooms receive the most attention.
Renters
We support tenants who want their home to stay clean and organised without spending their spare time on chores. Whether you need regular visits or a one-off clean before an inspection, we work around your tenancy agreement and property layout.
Landlords
Landlords and managing agents in Putney rely on us to keep rental properties presentable between and during tenancies. We can clean common areas, provide pre-tenancy freshen ups and undertake more thorough end of tenancy work when required.
Businesses
Some small businesses operate from residential properties or mixed-use spaces. We offer discreet, respectful house cleaning that keeps your working-from-home environment professional for visiting clients or colleagues.

Student houses and shared flats often need structured cleaning to avoid disagreements and deposits being withheld. Our scheduled visits keep kitchens, bathrooms and communal areas hygienic and manageable for everyone.

Our House Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact Cleaners Putney by phone, email or our online form. We will ask a few straightforward questions about your property: number of bedrooms and bathrooms, flooring types, pets, current condition and your preferred schedule. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote showing the hourly rate or fixed price, any optional extras and how long we expect the visit to take.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most standard homes, a detailed phone conversation or virtual survey is sufficient. You can send photos or a short video walk-through so we can accurately estimate the time needed. For larger or more complex properties in Putney, we are happy to arrange an onsite visit. This ensures the service matches your expectations and that we bring suitable equipment and products for your surfaces.
3. Preparation for the Clean
Before we arrive, we ask that you remove any important documents, valuables or fragile items from surfaces to be cleaned. Our team then arrives at the agreed time with all necessary products and equipment, unless you prefer us to use your own supplies. We follow a structured checklist, working methodically through each room to avoid disruption and ensure consistency on every visit.
Transparent Pricing and How We Charge
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Most house cleaning in Putney is charged on an hourly basis, with a minimum visit length to cover our travel and administration. For some one-off or deep cleaning jobs we may provide a fixed price, based on the size and condition of the property.
Your quote will always set out:
- Our hourly rate or fixed fee
- Minimum booking time (if applicable)
- Any additional charges for optional extras such as oven cleaning
- Whether equipment and products are included
There are no hidden fees. If we believe a first clean may take longer than subsequent visits due to built-up dirt or clutter, we will explain this clearly in advance so you can make an informed decision.
Why Professional Cleaning Beats DIY
Many of our clients are perfectly capable of cleaning their own homes but choose not to spend their limited free time doing it. Professional cleaners bring three main advantages:
- Efficiency – Our teams are trained to clean methodically and quickly, achieving a higher standard in less time.
- Consistency – With checklists and supervision, the same tasks are completed to the same standard every visit.
- Knowledge – We understand which products are safe for particular surfaces and finishes, helping avoid accidental damage.
DIY cleaning is often rushed and focused only on visible areas. Professional house cleaning ensures hidden corners, behind items and high-touch points are also addressed, improving hygiene and extending the life of your fixtures and furnishings.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Cleaners Putney operates to clear, professional standards so you can trust us in your home. Our teams are fully vetted and trained in safe working practices, correct product use and respectful conduct while on your premises.
We maintain:
- Public liability cover – to protect you in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury during our visit.
- Goods in transit insurance – covering our equipment and materials while travelling to and from your property.
While we treat every home with care, insurance gives an additional layer of reassurance. We are happy to provide policy details on request for commercial clients, landlords or more complex arrangements.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We clean with care, aiming to protect both your property and the environment. Our standard approach includes:
- Using suitable microfibre cloths and mop heads colour-coded to reduce cross-contamination
- Selecting effective but low-impact cleaning products wherever practical
- Avoiding harsh chemicals on delicate surfaces such as natural stone, wood and sensitive finishes
- Reducing waste by reusing washable materials instead of disposables where hygiene allows
If you prefer eco-friendlier options or want us to use specific products due to allergies or sensitivities, we can usually accommodate this. Please mention it during your initial enquiry so we can plan accordingly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does house cleaning in Putney cost?
Pricing depends mainly on the size of your property, how often you would like us to visit and the current condition of your home. Regular weekly or fortnightly cleans usually work out cheaper per visit than one-off or ad-hoc bookings. After a short phone discussion or virtual survey, we will provide a clear quote showing our hourly rate or fixed fee, any minimum booking time and optional extras such as oven or fridge cleaning. There are no hidden charges, and we always agree costs before any work is carried out.
Can you provide same-day or urgent house cleaning?
We understand there are times when you may need urgent cleaning, for example before guests arrive, following an accident or just after a last-minute schedule change. Same-day or next-day appointments in Putney are sometimes available, depending on our existing bookings and the size of the job. These visits are usually best suited to targeted areas rather than full-property deep cleans. If you need an urgent service, contact us by phone so we can confirm availability quickly and advise what can realistically be achieved within the time and budget you have.
Are your cleaners insured while working in my home?
Yes, we operate with comprehensive public liability cover in place for all cleaning work, protecting you in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury during a visit. Our equipment and materials are also covered by goods in transit insurance while travelling to and from your property. In addition to insurance, all cleaners are thoroughly vetted and trained in safe working practices and appropriate product use. If you need written confirmation of cover for your records, for example as a landlord or managing agent, we can provide documentation on request.
What’s included in a standard house cleaning service?
A standard clean focuses on the areas that require regular attention: dusting and wiping accessible surfaces, vacuuming carpets and rugs, mopping hard floors, cleaning and sanitising bathrooms and toilets, and wiping kitchen worktops, sinks, hobs and appliance exteriors. We also empty household bins and clean internal glass on doors and reachable mirrors. Tasks such as oven interiors, inside cupboards, detailed skirting and blinds, or deep carpet cleaning are not included by default but can usually be added as extras. Before we start, we agree a checklist so you know exactly what will be covered each visit.
How far in advance should I book my cleaning?
For regular weekly or fortnightly house cleaning in Putney, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance to secure your preferred day and time. Deep cleans, end of tenancy work or large one-off jobs may need a little more notice, especially at busy times of year such as late spring and end of summer. That said, we will always try to accommodate shorter notice where our schedule allows. Once established, your regular slot is reserved for you, and any changes or cancellations can be managed with reasonable notice.
Do I need to be at home while you clean?
You are welcome to be present during cleaning, but many clients prefer to give us access via a key, key safe or concierge, especially for regular visits. We operate strict key-holding procedures and store all details securely. If you are at home, we will work around you as best we can, focusing on different rooms to minimise disruption. Before the first visit we will discuss access, alarms, parking and any rooms that are off-limits so everything runs smoothly and you feel comfortable with the arrangements.
