Regular Domestic Cleaning Greenwich
A house and a flat may have similar room lists but different practical arrangements. Tell us about your Greenwich property, the cleaning you need and how the cleaner can enter. We will discuss the hours, preferred frequency and complete quote.
- House or flat details considered
- Entry instructions agreed
- Routine jobs clearly defined
Tell us how the property is reached
For a flat, explain shared entrances, the entry phone and any separate door to your home. If a key handover is proposed, agree who can release it and when. Do not assume a neighbour or building staff member can admit the cleaner without permission.
For a house, give equally clear instructions about the correct entrance and any alarm. If you will be out, discuss how the property will be secured afterwards. Mention relevant parking arrangements for the actual Greenwich address. A postcode helps with the enquiry, but it cannot explain all the practical details needed at arrival.
- Describe shared entrances and any entry-phone instructions.
- Agree permission for another person to release keys.
- Explain how the property should be secured afterwards.
Build the cleaning list around the rooms in use
A frequently used bathroom, cooking area and main floors may need attention at each visit. A spare bedroom can be placed in a rotation. Give each room a short task list and decide which comes first so the cleaner knows what matters when the hours are limited.
Accessible kitchen worktops, sink, taps, hob surface and suitable flooring can be included. Washing-up should be specified rather than presumed. Bathrooms can cover the toilet, basin, shower or bath, suitable fittings and floor. Mention heavy limescale, damage and moisture issues before the appointment, since not every mark is ordinary dirt.
Leave possessions out of the cleaning decision
Secure private documents and valuables, and identify ornaments or devices that should not be touched. Clear floors and surfaces to be cleaned, or discuss tidying within the booked time. The cleaner should not need to decide which personal belongings can be rearranged.
Bedroom and living-room upkeep can include reachable dusting and appropriate floor care. If bedding should be changed, name the beds and have fresh linen ready. For a stained sofa, discuss a separate sofa treatment. Loose dirt on floors and stains within fabric are different cleaning problems.
Routine kitchen wiping does not automatically cover the oven interior. Ask about cleaning the cooker inside, giving its type and condition. Window work with a wider scope can be discussed through the window-cleaning service, where access and surfaces are considered separately.
If rooms have a substantial backlog, a deeper starting visit may be more appropriate before a maintenance schedule. Similarly, a property handover is a different brief from routine care in an occupied home. Explain the purpose and starting condition rather than using extra regular hours to imply a specialist service.
Choose frequency and supply suitable tools
Weekly work or a longer interval
Weekly help can suit heavy room use; fortnightly visits may work where smaller tasks are handled between appointments. Consider cooking, bathrooms, pets and what you will still do yourself. Describe floor area, stairs, condition and any additions when discussing hours, then review the plan after the first appointment.
Confirm suitable products and tools
Confirm who provides a hoover, mop, cloths and products. If supplying them, keep working equipment and labelled suitable products ready. Point out delicate finishes and any care instructions. Allergies and product restrictions need to be known before use, not left for the cleaner to discover during the appointment.
Check the total before the schedule begins
The regular-cleaning starting rate is £18 per hour, per cleaner on the published list. Minimum charges and terms apply, rates may vary by area and applicable congestion charges are excluded. Confirm your address-specific rate, hours, number of cleaners and any extra costs before accepting.
If cleaner continuity matters, ask how the proposed schedule and absence cover would work. No particular person is guaranteed by this page. Contact the team for changes or cancellations and check the confirmed notice conditions. Replacement appointments depend on availability and should not be assumed reserved until confirmation arrives.
Questions about your cleaning arrangement
What details are useful for a flat enquiry?
Explain the rooms, bathrooms and condition, plus shared doors, entry-phone instructions and any building access requirements relevant to the visit.
Could I prioritise floors over bedroom dusting?
Yes, make that order clear when discussing the list. Less urgent tasks can follow within the hours booked.
Can I leave keys with someone nearby?
Agree the handover with the team and the person involved. An informal assumption can prevent the cleaner entering at the appointed time.
Does a regular visit cover balcony windows?
Describe the window and access separately. Exterior or difficult-access work is not automatically part of ordinary domestic tasks.
Can I request bed changing fortnightly?
Discuss the beds and timing, leave linen ready and include the work in the relevant visit allowance.
Will every mark be removed?
Cleaning cannot repair worn or damaged surfaces, and some stains may remain. Describe the affected areas so we can explain the likely limits.

Clear entry makes a better first appointment.
Discuss the route into your Greenwich property before reserving a visit. The room list and quoted hours can then be settled alongside access.
