Tell us what should be cleaned and what should be left alone. A one-off appointment for your Hampstead home can focus on accumulated dirt while respecting agreed material and access restrictions. We will discuss the practical brief before booking.
Identify delicate objects, private papers and equipment that should not be touched. Put valuables somewhere secure. A cleaner should not decide which possessions are safe to move purely from appearance. If a surface has care guidance, leave it available and mention existing wear or damage.
Explain allergies, product restrictions and previous treatment attempts before quoting. The team brings cleaning products and tools, but unusual requirements must be discussed. Avoid assuming all materials can safely receive the same chemical or that stronger cleaning is the right answer to a persistent mark.
You may want dust dealt with in several rooms, grease removed from accessible kitchen surfaces or an overdue bathroom given attention. Name the work and its condition. A deeper clean is a single appointment for an agreed brief, not an undertaking to restore every part of the property to a new finish.
If visitors are expected, explain the date and the rooms they will use. If the work has simply accumulated over time, say so. The reason helps rank priorities, but it does not change the need for suitable products, realistic hours and accessible working areas.
Ask about reachable ledges, furniture surfaces, skirting and floor edges. Tell us what is obstructed and identify belongings to leave untouched. Moving heavy furniture or organising storage is not assumed. A fabric stain should be described separately rather than treated as another dusty surface to wipe during the same household appointment.
Explain greasy cupboard fronts, handles, splashback, worktops and sink work requested. Identify stone or coated finishes with specific care needs. Cupboard interiors require explicit agreement and preparation of contents. Cleaning an accessible kitchen surface does not establish appliance interior cleaning, dismantling or handling every item stored behind it.
Point out deposits on suitable fittings, tiles and shower areas. Mention limescale, residue and damaged seals or grout. Cleaning cannot repair the finish or solve a continuing moisture source. Persistent mould and uncertain materials need appropriate discussion instead of a promise that every bathroom mark can be removed.
For rugs, discuss cleaning appropriate to their material. Furniture fabrics can need a separate upholstery assessment. If glass needs more than the agreed household surfaces, ask about window-cleaning work, with its access and scope described. These jobs should have suitable methods and confirmed prices rather than being assumed within a general deep clean.
Give the Hampstead postcode, rooms, bathrooms, levels and current condition. Duration is assessed from size and the tasks wanted. Mention a deadline early; advance booking is recommended and short-notice requests depend on availability. Bedroom count alone cannot establish the hours for detailed work on sensitive or heavily soiled surfaces.
Explain shared doors, entry instructions, pets and relevant parking arrangements. If you will be out, discuss keys, alarms and securing the property afterwards. Clear the intended areas or explain the clearing needed; preparation should support the agreed work, not involve unsafe lifting or improvised access to difficult surfaces.
The published one-off starting rate is £18 per hour, per cleaner. Minimum charges and terms apply, area rates may vary and applicable congestion charges are additional. Confirm your address-specific rate, proposed hours, team size and extra costs. A sensitive surface or specialist request should be discussed rather than treated as automatically covered by the household headline rate.
Yes, identify them before arrival and put especially fragile or valuable items away. The team should not infer handling permission from a room-cleaning request.
Not automatically. Products and methods need to suit the surface and task; persistent marks are not always removable dirt.
Point it out during the brief. Cleaning does not promise repairs or restoration of worn, etched or discoloured finishes.
Discuss care requirements first. Products and tools are supplied, while unusual materials or restrictions need checking before the appointment.
Request rug cleaning separately with material details. Its method, equipment and price are not established by ordinary floor work.
Explain the obstruction. Heavy moving and unrestricted high access are not assumed, so reachable work and preparation need agreement.
State the Hampstead surfaces you want cleaned alongside the finishes and possessions to leave alone. Have care guidance and product restrictions ready for the enquiry. Discuss a practical brief that respects those limits before agreeing the one-off hours and quotation.
