Who Our Domestic Cleaning in Dulwich Is For

Homeowners

Whether you have a period property near Dulwich Village or a modern flat, we help you keep on top of the weekly cleaning so your home always feels guest-ready. We can also provide deep cleans ahead of special occasions, new arrivals or renovations.

Renters

Busy tenants often don’t have the time or energy to clean thoroughly after work. Our service helps keep your rental in good order, reduce wear and tear, and avoid issues at the end of your tenancy. We also offer pre- and end-of-tenancy cleaning on request.

Landlords & Letting Agents

We work with local landlords and agents in Dulwich who need a professional, consistent cleaning partner to prepare properties between tenancies or maintain common areas. We understand inventory requirements and can follow your specific check-in standards.

Businesses & Home Offices

If you run a business from home or have a dedicated home office, we can integrate this into your domestic clean. We keep workspaces tidy and hygienic while respecting confidential documents and equipment.

Students & Flat Shares

Shared homes and student properties can quickly become cluttered. We offer flexible, shared-cost cleaning arrangements so everyone benefits from a clean, hygienic space without arguments over whose turn it is.

Our Domestic Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You can contact us by phone, email or through our website. We will ask a few questions about your property in Dulwich, the number of rooms, your preferred days and times, and any specific requirements. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote for either regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning or a one-off clean.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most routine domestic cleans, a detailed phone or virtual survey is sufficient. For larger homes, properties with special finishes, or if you require deep cleaning, we may suggest a short onsite visit. This allows us to assess access, parking, flooring types and any delicate surfaces, ensuring we bring the right products and allocate appropriate time.

3. Preparation & First Clean

Before the first visit, we agree a start date, key-holding arrangements (if required) and any alarm codes or entry instructions. On the day, our professional cleaner arrives in the agreed time window, walks through your priorities, and then works systematically through your checklist. After the first clean, we welcome feedback and can adjust the routine for future visits.

Transparent, Fair Pricing

We charge for domestic cleaning on a clear hourly rate, with a minimum booking time to ensure we can do a proper job. The rate depends on factors such as cleaning frequency, property size and whether you require us to supply products and equipment. There are no hidden fees: parking or congestion charges, where applicable, are discussed upfront.

Regular bookings (weekly or fortnightly) are more cost-effective than one-off cleans. For deep cleans or end-of-tenancy work, we typically provide a fixed price based on the survey, so you know exactly what to expect before we start.

Why Choose Professional Domestic Cleaning Over DIY

Cleaning your own home can be time-consuming and physically demanding. Our trained team clean day in, day out and know the most efficient methods and products to achieve reliable results. We bring professional equipment, use appropriate chemicals for each surface and pay attention to high-touch areas that are easily missed.

Using a fully insured company also gives you peace of mind. If something is accidentally damaged or a cleaner is injured on site, you are protected. With DIY or informal cash-in-hand arrangements, this protection simply is not there. Professional cleaning lets you free up your time, protect your property and maintain a consistently high standard of hygiene.

Insurance, Safety and Professional Standards

Cleaner Dulwich operates to recognised industry standards for residential cleaning. We are fully insured with:

• Public liability cover – protecting you if accidental damage occurs in your home
• Goods in transit insurance – covering our equipment and materials while travelling to and from your property

All cleaners are identity and reference checked and receive ongoing training in safe product use, colour-coded cleaning, and best practice for infection control. We follow COSHH guidelines for all chemicals and never decant products into unlabelled containers. Your keys and alarm details, if provided, are stored securely and only issued to authorised team members.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We treat every home as if it were our own. Delicate items, artwork and specialist surfaces are approached with caution and, where needed, we will ask your preference before cleaning. We use protective cloths and pads on vulnerable surfaces and avoid harsh abrasives on natural stone, wood and high-gloss finishes.

Where possible, we choose environmentally considerate products that balance effectiveness with reduced impact. Microfibre cloths allow us to use less chemical while still removing dust and bacteria. If you prefer fully eco-friendly cleaning, we can use your chosen products, or source suitable alternatives, and adapt our methods accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does domestic cleaning in Dulwich cost?

Our pricing is based mainly on the size of your home, how often you would like us to visit and whether we supply all products and equipment. We work on a straightforward hourly rate with a minimum booking time, agreed before we start. Weekly and fortnightly clients benefit from more favourable rates than one-off bookings, as the work is more predictable. For larger properties or deep cleans, we may suggest a fixed-price quote after a short survey, so you know the exact cost in advance.

Can you provide same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?

We do our best to help with urgent or last-minute requests, particularly if you have guests arriving or a moving date approaching. Same-day domestic cleaning in Dulwich is subject to availability of our professional team and the size of the job. If we cannot attend immediately, we will offer the earliest possible slot and may prioritise key areas such as kitchen and bathrooms. For guaranteed availability, we always recommend scheduling regular visits or booking planned one-off cleans a little in advance.

Are your cleaners insured while working in my home?

Yes, we are a fully insured domestic cleaning company. Our public liability insurance covers accidental damage to your property while we are working, and we also hold goods in transit insurance for our equipment and materials. This means you are protected in the unlikely event that something goes wrong. We also train our cleaners thoroughly in safe working practices to reduce risks in the first place. If you have high-value or particularly delicate items, let us know so we can take additional precautions.

What exactly is included in a standard domestic clean?

A standard domestic clean focuses on the regular tasks that keep your home fresh and hygienic. This includes dusting, hoovering and mopping floors, cleaning kitchen worktops and appliance fronts, wiping cupboard exteriors, and thorough cleaning of bathrooms and toilets. We also empty bins, clean mirrors and tidy surfaces. Tasks such as inside ovens, full internal window cleaning, inside cupboards and deep limescale removal are not included as standard, but can be added as extras. Before we start, we agree a personalised checklist so you know exactly what your cleaner will do.

How far in advance should I book domestic cleaning?

For regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning, booking at least one to two weeks ahead gives the best chance of securing your preferred day and time in Dulwich. One-off or deep cleans, especially around busy periods such as bank holidays and school breaks, are best booked a little earlier if possible. That said, we always keep some flexibility for new and existing clients and can sometimes accommodate short-notice bookings. Once your slot is confirmed, it is yours on an ongoing basis unless you request a change.

Do I need to be at home while you clean?

No, you do not need to be present while we clean, although you are welcome to be there if you prefer. Many of our regular clients provide us with a key or arrange key collection from a concierge or neighbour. We maintain strict key-holding procedures, and your keys are coded and stored securely when not in use. For the first visit, some clients like to be at home to walk through their priorities, then leave us to it in future once they are comfortable with the routine and the results.
