Local Greenwich Expertise You Can Rely On
We have worked in Greenwich for many years, looking after properties from riverside apartments and period terraces to family homes and HMOs. Our local knowledge means we understand common property layouts, typical flooring types and the expectations of local landlords and agents.
Being based in the area allows us to offer flexible appointment times, realistic arrival windows and responsive communication. If you need keys collected from an agent on Greenwich High Road or access arranged via a concierge, we can usually accommodate it.

How Our Domestic Cleaning Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone, email or via our online form with details of your property, number of bedrooms and the type of cleaning you need. We ask a few practical questions about access, parking and any priorities you have. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote for regular or one-off cleaning, along with suggested time allocations.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most homes, a virtual survey via photos or video call is enough to assess the scope accurately. For larger or more complex properties, we may recommend a brief onsite visit. This allows us to understand layout, flooring types, and any specific concerns such as limescale, mould spots or pet hair. The aim is to set realistic expectations and match you with the right cleaner or team.
3. Preparation for the First Clean
Before the first visit, we agree the start time, key handover and security arrangements. We confirm whether we are using our products or yours, and highlight any surfaces needing special care. On the day, our professional cleaners arrive in uniform, carry out the agreed tasks systematically and note any areas that may need extra attention on future visits. We then gather your feedback and adjust the routine as needed.
Transparent Pricing and How We Charge
We price domestic cleaning in Greenwich mainly by the time required and the frequency of visits. Regular weekly or fortnightly slots are charged at a lower hourly rate than one-off or ad-hoc bookings. The price you receive will usually include all standard cleaning materials and equipment, unless you request otherwise.
There are no hidden charges – any optional extras such as oven cleaning, internal windows or carpet cleaning are itemised clearly in advance. Parking or congestion-related costs are discussed upfront where relevant, particularly in restricted streets or private developments.
Why Choose Professional Domestic Cleaners Over DIY
Doing your own cleaning can be time-consuming and physically demanding, especially in busy households or where there are pets, children or allergies to consider. Professional cleaners work systematically, using the right tools and products, and they know how to clean efficiently without cutting corners.
With a trained team, you benefit from consistent results, correct product use for different surfaces, and better hygiene in high-risk areas like bathrooms and kitchens. You also gain back personal time for work, family or rest, while your home remains clean and easier to maintain between visits.
Insurance, Training and Professional Standards
As a long-established local cleaning company, we take protection and standards seriously. Our teams are thoroughly vetted and trained in safe working practices, correct chemical use and data protection when handling keys or alarm codes.
- Public liability cover – for your peace of mind in the unlikely event of accidental damage.
- Goods in transit insurance – covering specialist equipment and products we bring to your property.
- Fully insured staff – all cleaners work under our insurance arrangements, not as uninsured casual workers.
We follow clear checklists, quality control spot-checks and customer feedback loops to maintain consistent standards from visit to visit.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every home with respect, as if it were our own. Surfaces are tested before unfamiliar products are used, and we take care to avoid oversoaking, scratching or discolouration. Where requested, we can prioritise low-odour or eco-friendly products, particularly in homes with children, pets or asthma sufferers.
We plan routes sensibly around Greenwich to reduce unnecessary travel, and we maintain our equipment to extend its life and reduce waste. Microfibre cloths are washed and sanitised after each use, and disposable items are kept to a sensible minimum while still meeting hygiene requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does domestic cleaning in Greenwich cost?
Domestic cleaning costs vary depending on property size, condition and how often you need us. As a guide, smaller flats needing weekly cleaning will cost less per visit than large family houses on an ad-hoc basis. We typically charge an hourly rate with a minimum booking time to ensure we can complete a proper clean. After a brief discussion or virtual survey, we provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what is included before you commit.
Can you offer same-day or urgent cleaning?
Same-day domestic cleaning in Greenwich is sometimes possible, particularly on weekdays and outside peak moving periods. Availability depends on our existing schedule and the size of the job. If you need urgent help – for example after a spill, unexpected visitors or a last-minute inspection – call us as early as you can. We will check our rota, explain what can realistically be achieved in the time available, and confirm costs before sending a professional cleaner.
Are your cleaners insured while working in my home?
Yes. All cleaning carried out by Greenwich Carpet Cleaners is covered by our company insurance. We hold public liability cover for accidental damage or injury, and goods in transit insurance for our equipment and materials. Our cleaners are employed or contracted under our policies and receive training on safe working practices. While incidents are rare, knowing there is proper insurance in place offers reassurance, particularly for higher-value items or complex property layouts.
What exactly is included in a domestic cleaning service?
A standard domestic clean typically includes dusting, wiping and polishing reachable surfaces, cleaning bathrooms and toilets, kitchen worktops and hobs, vacuuming all rooms and mopping hard floors. We also empty general household bins and perform light touch-up cleaning of doors and switches. Deeper tasks such as oven interiors, inside fridges, internal windows or professional carpet cleaning are available as optional extras. Before we start, we agree a task list and priorities so the time booked is used where it benefits you most.
How far in advance should I book?
For regular weekly or fortnightly domestic cleaning, it is best to book at least one to two weeks in advance so we can secure a suitable slot and, where possible, the same cleaner each time. One-off or deep cleans can sometimes be arranged more quickly, but availability is tighter at month-end and during peak moving periods. If you have fixed dates, such as a tenancy end or family event, contacting us early helps ensure we can plan a thorough clean without rushing.
