Cleaning Prices in North London

Choosing a cleaner is easier when you understand the numbers. This page explains how Cleaning North London approaches cleaning prices for homes and businesses across the N postcodes. We outline what affects the cleaning cost, when we use hourly cleaning rates versus fixed price cleaning, and the typical add-ons and extras you can include. Our goal is clear, fair, and transparent pricing with no surprises.

How We Price Cleaning Services

Every property is different, and so is every brief. We price to the scope, not just the size. To give you an accurate cost, we consider:

Property size and layout (rooms, floors, bathrooms)
Current condition and level of soiling
Surfaces and materials (wood, stone, delicate fabrics)
Access, parking, and lift availability
Number of cleaners required and estimated duration
Frequency (one-off versus weekly/fortnightly)
Specialist equipment or solutions needed
Add-ons and extras you choose (e.g., oven, fridge, carpets)

For straightforward jobs (such as regular domestic cleaning), we typically quote hourly cleaning rates. For defined tasks with a clear checklist (deep cleans, end of tenancy, post-build), we provide fixed price cleaning once we’ve confirmed the scope.

If you’re ready for an estimate, share a few details via our Get a quote form. For a full overview of service options, see our Services page.

Hourly Cleaning Rates vs Fixed Price Cleaning

We use two pricing approaches depending on the type of service and certainty around scope.

When we use hourly cleaning rates

Regular domestic cleaning (weekly or fortnightly)
One-off tidy-ups and ad-hoc help
Communal area cleaning where tasks are consistent but time can vary

Why hourly works here: it’s flexible, transparent, and easy to scale up or down. You only pay for the time required.

When we use fixed price cleaning

Deep cleaning with a defined checklist
End of tenancy / end of lease cleaning
After builders and sparkle cleans
Move-in and move-out cleans
Specialist tasks like oven cleaning or window cleaning

Why fixed price works here: the scope is clear, so you know the total in advance. We’ll ask for photos, a room-by-room list, and any access notes to confirm the quote.

If you’re unsure which approach fits your needs, we’ll recommend the most cost-effective option during enquiry. You can also check our process on How it works.

What Affects Cleaning Costs

To keep expectations aligned, here are the main factors that influence cleaning cost:

Size and room count: More rooms and bathrooms increase time and materials.
Condition: Heavily soiled areas, limescale, grease, or post-renovation dust require additional time and products.
Frequency: Regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning prices are usually more economical per visit than one-off cleans.
Access and parking: Limited access, stairs, or restricted parking can extend job time.
Pets and allergies: Pet hair removal or allergy-friendly methods may require extra steps.
Specialist equipment: Carpet extraction, upholstery tools, high-reach window poles, or disinfection fogging add complexity.
Add-ons and extras: Ovens, fridges, internal windows, blinds, balconies, and carpeted areas are typically itemised.
Business needs: For commercial clients, opening hours, security protocols, and compliance requirements can affect scheduling and staffing.

Typical Pricing Scenarios

We don’t list exact figures because each property and scope differs. Instead, here’s how we tailor quotes for common requests, including the long-tail questions we’re frequently asked.

Regular weekly cleaning prices

Best for: Ongoing upkeep of flats and houses.
Pricing approach: Hourly.
What we consider: Your checklist (kitchen, bathrooms, dusting, floors, bins), bed changes, and whether you provide supplies or prefer us to bring them.
Cost efficiencies: Weekly or fortnightly bookings can reduce the per-visit time because the home is kept at a steady standard.

How much does a deep clean cost?

Best for: Spring cleans, pre-sale refresh, or after a long gap between cleans.
Pricing approach: Fixed price cleaning once we see the scope.
What we consider: Scale of limescale, kitchen grease, grout attention, internal windows, skirting, and behind-appliance access.
Add-ons: Oven, fridge/freezer, blinds, internal window tracks, balconies, and carpet cleaning are itemised so you only pay for what you need.

Price for end of tenancy cleaning

Best for: Move-outs requiring a professional clean to inventory standards.
Pricing approach: Fixed price based on property size and inventory requirements.
What we consider: Furnished vs unfurnished, number of bathrooms, internal windows, white goods, and any post-build dust.
Useful to know: If your tenancy requires carpet or mattress cleaning, we’ll quote these as extras to meet check-out expectations.

Carpet cleaning price guide

Best for: Refreshing traffic areas, bedrooms, lounges, rugs, or commercial carpet tiles.
Pricing approach: Fixed price per room/area following a quick assessment.
What we consider: Fibre type, staining, access to water/power, and drying requirements.
Note: We use professional extraction methods and can advise on drying times and furniture movement.

One-off and post-build cleans

Best for: After builders cleaning, sparkle cleans, or a one-off reset.
Pricing approach: Fixed price cleaning, potentially split across phases (initial build clean and final sparkle).
What we consider: Dust levels, paint/filler residues, new appliances protection, and snagging schedules.

If you’re comparing options, our team can schedule a quick call to refine scope, or you can attach photos and a room-by-room list via Get a quote.

Residential vs Commercial Pricing

We serve both households and businesses across North London.

Residential: Weekly, fortnightly, one-off deep cleans, end of tenancy, carpets, upholstery, and specialist appliance cleaning.

Commercial pricing is tailored to footfall, hours, and compliance needs. If you’re a facilities manager or business owner, our team can propose a schedule and specification that fits your site and budget. Explore the full range on our Services page.

Ways to Keep Costs Sensible

A few simple choices can lower the overall cleaning cost without sacrificing quality:

Be clear about priorities: Tell us what matters most so we allocate time accordingly.
Declutter before we arrive: Clear surfaces speed up work and reduce total time.
Choose a frequency that maintains standards: Regular visits usually cost less over time than infrequent deep cleans.
Combine tasks in one visit: Bundling oven, fridge, and internal windows can be more efficient than separate callouts.
Provide parking or permits where possible: Reduces delays and keeps the schedule on track.

If you’d like tailored suggestions for your home or premises, ask during your enquiry.

What’s Not Included or May Require Extra Time

We’re transparent about limitations so you can plan accordingly:

Areas unsafe to access (loose fixtures, high external windows without safe reach)
Specialist restoration (e.g., historic stone, antique textiles) without prior assessment
Heavy mould remediation, pest control, or biohazard cleaning
Exterior work requiring platforms or specialist access equipment unless arranged
Stains that are permanent due to fibre damage or previous chemical use

If something needs a specialist, we’ll let you know and advise alternatives where possible.

Payment, Invoicing, and VAT

Payment methods: We accept common payment methods and provide invoices for all work.
For businesses: We can set up scheduled invoicing and provide RAMS (risk assessments and method statements) upon request.
Cancellations and rescheduling: Please give notice so we can reassign teams and avoid short-notice fees. Details will be set out in your booking confirmation.
