Who Our Domestic Cleaning Service Is For
Homeowners
Busy Richmond homeowners rely on us to keep on top of routine chores so they can focus on work, family and leisure time. We offer weekly, fortnightly or bespoke schedules and can work around pets and children.
Renters
Tenants use our domestic cleaning to keep their properties in good order and protect deposits. Regular cleaning helps avoid last‑minute stress when it is time to move out, and we can coordinate with letting agents where required.
Landlords & managing agents
Landlords and agents in Richmond book our cleaners to maintain HMOs, serviced accommodation and long‑term lets. A consistently clean property supports higher occupancy and fewer complaints from residents.
Businesses
We also undertake domestic‑style cleaning for small offices, studios and home‑based businesses in Richmond that require a reliable, discreet service outside standard office hours.
Students & shared houses
Student lets and shared homes benefit from a neutral, professional cleaner to handle communal areas. We help prevent disputes over whose turn it is and keep kitchens and bathrooms hygienic for everyone.
Local Expertise in Richmond
Cleaners Richmond has been serving households across Richmond, Kew, Twickenham and nearby neighbourhoods for years. Our cleaners know local property styles well – from period terraces and riverside flats to new‑build apartments and family houses.
That local knowledge means we are used to working around permit parking, access arrangements, key safe systems and concierge desks commonly found in Richmond buildings. You get a service that is not only thorough but also practical and reliable in real‑world conditions.

Our Step‑by‑Step Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & quote
You can contact us by phone, email or our online form. We will ask a few straightforward questions about your property size, number of bathrooms, preferred days and any specific requirements. From there, we provide a clear, no‑obligation quote outlining the likely time required and the hourly or fixed rate.
2. Survey – virtual or onsite
For larger properties or more complex work, we may suggest a short virtual survey (via photos or video call) or an onsite visit. This helps us understand access, parking, surfaces and any delicate items that need special care. The aim is to ensure we allocate the right trained cleaner and sufficient time to do a proper job on every visit.
3. Preparation and first clean
Once you approve the quote, we agree a start date and cleaning schedule. Ahead of the first visit we confirm:
- Access arrangements and keys or codes
- Security instructions (alarms, pets, gates)
- Priority areas and any exclusions
- Preferred products if you have allergies or sensitivities
On the day, your cleaner arrives at the agreed time, undertakes the work methodically and reports any issues. After the first clean, we welcome feedback and fine‑tune the checklist if needed.
Transparent Pricing Explained
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Our domestic cleaning is usually charged:
- On an hourly basis for regular weekly or fortnightly visits
- At a fixed price for one‑off and deep cleans, based on size and condition
Rates vary slightly depending on frequency, property size and any specialist tasks. There are no hidden charges for standard products or equipment. Any additional services, such as deep oven cleaning or carpet cleaning, are itemised clearly before you commit, so you always know what you are paying for and why.
Why Professional Cleaning Beats DIY
Most of our clients are perfectly capable of cleaning their own homes, but they choose professional help for good reasons:
- Consistent standards every visit, even when life is busy
- Systematic approach to hygiene in kitchens and bathrooms
- Use of appropriate products and methods for different surfaces
- Time saved that can be spent on work, family or rest
- Reduced stress and a more pleasant living environment
As experienced, professional cleaners, we spot issues early – mould, limescale build‑up, worn sealant – and can flag them before they become costly problems.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your home and belongings are important, so every Cleaners Richmond service is backed by robust protection and standards:
- Public liability cover – to protect against accidental damage or injury while we work in your home
- Goods in transit insurance – covering your items when we move or transport cleaning equipment and materials through the property
- Trained cleaning teams – all cleaners are vetted, referenced and trained in safe product use, manual handling and industry‑recognised cleaning techniques
We operate clear procedures for key holding, security and incident reporting, and we are happy to share documentation on request for your peace of mind.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Respect for your home is central to how we work. Our cleaners use protective equipment such as shoe covers where appropriate, colour‑coded cloths to prevent cross‑contamination and carefully chosen products suitable for delicate finishes.
We are committed to more sustainable cleaning wherever possible. That means:
- Favouring low‑toxicity, eco‑label products where they are effective
- Using measured dosing to avoid chemical waste
- Reducing single‑use plastics by using refillable bottles and durable tools
If you prefer specific eco products, we can either supply them or use your chosen brands while still applying professional cleaning methods.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does domestic cleaning in Richmond cost?
Pricing depends mainly on the size of your property, how often you want us to visit and the general condition of your home. Regular weekly or fortnightly visits are usually charged at an hourly rate, with a minimum booking time to ensure we can work properly. One‑off and deep cleans are normally quoted as a fixed price after we understand the scope. We provide a clear written estimate before you commit, and there are no surprise extras for standard equipment or products.
Can you provide same‑day or urgent domestic cleaning?
Same‑day or urgent cleans are sometimes possible, especially on weekdays, but they depend on existing bookings and cleaner availability in Richmond. If you need help at short notice – for example, before guests arrive or after an unexpected event – contact us by phone for the quickest response. We will check our schedule and, if we cannot offer your preferred time, we will suggest the nearest available slot. Urgent appointments may have a minimum booking period to make travel and scheduling viable.
Are your cleaners insured?
Yes. Cleaners Richmond operates with comprehensive insurance in place. We hold public liability cover to protect you and your property in case of accidental damage or injury while we are working. We also maintain goods in transit insurance in relation to moving equipment and materials through your home. On top of this, our cleaners are carefully vetted and trained, and we have procedures for reporting and resolving any issues professionally. Copies of our insurance details can be provided on request before you make a booking.
What is included in a standard domestic cleaning visit?
A standard visit focuses on routine tasks that keep your home tidy and hygienic: dusting, vacuuming, mopping, cleaning bathrooms and toilets, wiping kitchen surfaces, fronts of appliances, and general tidying of agreed areas. We work from a checklist tailored to your property, and you are welcome to highlight any particular priorities. Deep tasks such as oven interiors, carpet shampooing or inside windows are not included by default but can be added as extras. We review the checklist with you so expectations are clear from the start.
How far in advance do I need to book?
For regular weekly or fortnightly domestic cleaning, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance to secure your preferred day and time, especially in busier periods. One‑off and deep cleans can sometimes be arranged more quickly, but availability varies. If your requirements are flexible, we can often fit you in sooner. Once your slot is confirmed, it is yours on an ongoing basis unless you ask to change it, giving you a predictable routine and a cleaner who becomes familiar with your home.
Do I need to be at home while you clean?
No, you do not have to be at home, although you are welcome to be if you prefer. Many clients provide us with a set of keys or arrange access via a concierge or key safe. We have strict key‑holding procedures and your keys are coded rather than labelled with your address. If you are present for the first visit, it can be helpful to walk through priority areas and any special instructions. After that, we can attend independently and keep you updated as agreed.
