Who Our Streatham House Cleaning Is For
Homeowners
If you live in Streatham long-term and want a consistently clean, welcoming home, our regular house cleaning keeps on top of dust, grime and everyday mess so you can relax without worrying about chores.
Renters
Whether you are in a flat share on Streatham High Road or a rented house off Streatham Common, we help you maintain a clean property and protect your deposit. We also offer end of tenancy cleaning if you are moving out.
Landlords
We work with local landlords and letting agents to present properties in their best light between tenancies. A clean home photographs better, lets faster and sets the standard for incoming tenants.
Businesses
Small businesses operating from residential premises, such as home offices or treatment rooms, benefit from our professional cleaners who keep work areas hygienic and presentable for staff and clients.
Students
Shared houses and student flats in and around Streatham can quickly become untidy. We offer flexible cleaning for student accommodation, helping to keep communal areas under control and avoid disputes over chores.

How Our House Cleaning Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or our online form with a few details about your property: number of bedrooms and bathrooms, approximate size, and whether you need a one-off or regular clean. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote based on the information you give, explaining what is included and how long the clean will take.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most standard homes, a short virtual survey (photos or a video call) is sufficient. For larger or more complex properties, we may recommend a brief onsite visit. This helps us assess access, parking, floor types and any specific areas of concern so we can allocate the right professional cleaners and equipment, and give you an accurate price.
3. Preparation Before We Arrive
We ask that you remove valuable or fragile items from surfaces where possible, secure pets, and make sure we can access all rooms you want cleaned. If you will not be home, we can arrange key collection or key safe access. Once on site, our trained team walks through your home with you (where possible) to confirm priorities before starting work.
Transparent Pricing for House Cleaning
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Our rates are based on:
- Size and layout of your property
- Condition of the home (standard upkeep vs deep clean)
- Frequency of visits – weekly, fortnightly or monthly
- Any add-on services requested
Regular house cleaning is usually charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking time, while one-off and deep cleans may be priced as a fixed job. All costs are agreed in writing before we start, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why Choose Professional House Cleaning Instead of DIY
Cleaning your own home takes time, energy and the right products. Using a professional Streatham cleaning company offers several advantages:
- Consistent results from trained cleaners following a structured checklist
- Proper use of chemicals and equipment for different surfaces
- Time saved for work, family or rest
- Reduced stress, especially for busy households and carers
- Professional standards of hygiene in kitchens and bathrooms
Because we work in homes every day, we know where dirt hides, which areas are often missed, and how to clean efficiently without cutting corners.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your home and belongings are important. Streatham Cleaners operates with full insurance and clear procedures for your peace of mind:
- Public liability cover – protecting you and your property in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury during our visit.
- Goods in transit insurance – where we transport any of our equipment or your items for specialist cleaning off site.
- Trained cleaning teams – every cleaner is vetted, inducted and supervised, with training in safe product use, manual handling and customer care.
All staff follow clear checklists and wear appropriate clothing and PPE where required. We respect your privacy and confidentiality at all times.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to clean thoroughly while protecting both your home and the environment:
- Using appropriate products for delicate surfaces to avoid damage
- Colour-coded cloths and mops to prevent cross-contamination between bathrooms and kitchens
- Efficient use of water and chemicals to minimise waste
- Option of more eco-friendly products on request, suitable for homes with children, pets or allergies
We take care when moving light furniture or ornaments and will never shift heavy items or large appliances without discussing it with you first. Our goal is a clean, fresh home with minimal disruption.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does house cleaning in Streatham cost?
Pricing depends on the size and condition of your property, plus how often you would like us to visit. Smaller flats needing a light weekly clean will cost less than a larger family home requiring a deep clean. We usually charge an hourly rate for regular visits, with a minimum booking time to ensure a proper job, and fixed prices for some one-off services. Once we know your requirements, we provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what you will pay.
Can you provide same-day or urgent house cleaning?
Where possible, we do our best to accommodate same-day or short-notice bookings in Streatham, especially for situations such as last-minute visitors or unexpected events. Availability depends on our existing schedule and the size of the job. Smaller one-off cleans are more likely to be fitted in quickly than full deep cleans. If you need urgent help, contact us by phone so we can check our teams’ routes in real time and let you know what is realistically achievable on the day.
Are your cleaners insured while working in my home?
Yes. We are a fully insured cleaning company. Our public liability insurance protects you and your property in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury during our visit. Where we transport equipment or items, we also have goods in transit cover. In addition, all staff are vetted and trained to work carefully and respectfully in clients’ homes. If any issue ever arises, we have a clear reporting and resolution process, and we always aim to deal with matters fairly and promptly.
What is included in a standard house cleaning service?
A standard clean focuses on maintaining general cleanliness throughout your home. This usually covers dusting, wiping surfaces, vacuuming and mopping floors, cleaning bathrooms and toilets, and basic kitchen cleaning such as worktops, hob, sink and cupboard exteriors. We also empty bins and tidy visible areas. Deep tasks like inside ovens, inside fridges, heavy limescale removal and internal windows are not included as standard but can be added on. Before we start, we agree your priorities so the time booked is used where you most need it.
How far in advance should I book house cleaning?
For regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning, it is best to book at least one to two weeks in advance so you can secure your preferred day and time. One-off or deep cleans, especially around busy periods such as school holidays or before Christmas, may need a little more notice. That said, we often have gaps due to route changes or cancellations, so it is always worth asking about short-notice availability. Once your slot is confirmed, we reserve the same day and approximate time for you on an ongoing basis where requested.
Do I need to be home during the clean?
No, you do not have to be home while we clean, although you are welcome to be if you prefer. Many clients provide us with a spare key or use a secure key safe so we can attend while they are at work. We keep keys securely coded and never label them with your address. On the first visit, it can be helpful for you to be present for a quick walk-through, but after that most clients are comfortable leaving us to work to the agreed checklist.
