Our House Cleaning Process
We follow a clear, structured process so you always know what to expect.
1. Enquiry & quote
You can contact Lewisham Carpet Cleaners by phone, email or via our online form. We’ll discuss your property size, number of rooms, current condition and the type of service you need: regular cleaning, deep cleaning or end of tenancy cleaning. Based on this, we provide a clear, no‑obligation quote, usually the same day. For straightforward jobs, we can often book you in immediately.
2. Survey – virtual or onsite
For larger homes, long‑term contracts or heavily soiled properties, we may suggest a short virtual survey via video call or an onsite visit. This allows us to assess access, parking, flooring types and any specific concerns, such as pets, allergies or delicate surfaces. The survey helps us allocate the right number of trained cleaners, decide on equipment, and confirm the final price so there are no surprises later.
3. Preparation
Before the first clean, we agree a start time, access arrangements and any priority areas. We’ll ask you to put away valuables and important documents and, where possible, to clear floors and surfaces of personal clutter so we can work efficiently. On arrival, our team will walk through the property with you, confirm the agreed checklist and highlight any areas that may need extra attention or time.
4. The clean itself
Our cleaners work systematically from top to bottom and from one end of the property to the other, following our agreed plan. We use professional‑grade products suitable for UK homes, including eco‑friendlier options where requested. High‑touch points such as handles, switches and taps receive particular attention. At the end, we’ll invite you to inspect the property and raise any concerns so we can address them immediately.
Transparent Pricing for House Cleaning in Lewisham
We believe in clear, simple pricing. Most house cleaning in Lewisham is charged by the hour, with a minimum booking time to cover travel and setup. Rates can vary slightly depending on the condition of the property and the frequency of visits.
Typical factors affecting price include:
- Size of the property and number of bathrooms
- Whether it’s a standard maintenance clean or a deep clean
- Frequency – regular clients often benefit from more efficient cleans
- Any add‑on services such as oven, fridge or carpet cleaning
All costs are agreed in advance. If we feel extra time is needed once on site, we’ll discuss this with you before proceeding. There are no hidden charges.
Why Professional Cleaning Beats DIY
Many Lewisham households try to keep on top of cleaning themselves, but there are clear advantages to using a professional service. Our cleaners use commercial‑grade equipment and products, know how to work methodically, and are trained to spot the areas that are often missed in day‑to‑day cleaning, such as skirtings, corners, vents and high‑touch points.
Professional cleaning saves you time and energy, reduces the risk of damage to delicate surfaces, and helps maintain carpets, flooring and fittings for longer. For renters, a professionally cleaned property also greatly improves the chances of passing inventory checks and retaining your deposit.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Lewisham Carpet Cleaners operates to recognised industry standards and carries comprehensive insurance for your peace of mind.
- Public liability cover – Protects you and your property in the unlikely event of accidental damage during cleaning.
- Goods in transit insurance – Where we transport specialist equipment or items to and from your home, they are covered while on the move.
- Trained teams – All cleaners receive structured training in safe product use, correct cleaning methods and health & safety procedures.
We supervise new staff closely and conduct regular quality checks. Our team members wear appropriate clothing and follow clear security protocols, including locking doors and windows as instructed before they leave.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every property as if it were our own. Soft furnishings, delicate surfaces and personal items are handled carefully, and we avoid harsh products where a gentler approach will achieve the same result. We also use colour‑coded cloths and equipment to minimise any risk of cross‑contamination between kitchens, bathrooms and living areas.
Where possible, we choose concentrated, lower‑impact cleaning products and measured dosing to reduce chemical use and packaging waste. If you prefer eco‑focused cleaning, let us know at the enquiry stage and we’ll tailor our product selection accordingly, while still ensuring effective hygiene standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does house cleaning in Lewisham cost?
Pricing depends on the size and condition of your property, plus how often you’d like us to visit. We usually charge by the hour with a sensible minimum to cover travel and setup time. Larger homes, extra bathrooms and deep cleans will need more time than a standard tidy flat. Once we know the number of rooms, bathrooms and any add‑ons such as oven or carpet cleaning, we’ll provide a clear quote with no hidden extras.
Can you provide same‑day or urgent house cleaning?
Same‑day or next‑day house cleaning in Lewisham is sometimes possible, especially outside peak times, but it depends on our current schedule. If you have an urgent situation – a last‑minute inspection, guests arriving or a move‑out deadline – contact us by phone for the quickest response. We’ll check current bookings and let you know what we can realistically achieve within your timeframe, and whether a full deep clean or a focused priority clean is the most suitable option.
Are you insured while cleaning my home?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic cleaning work. Our public liability cover protects you in the rare event of accidental damage during cleaning, and our goods in transit insurance covers equipment and items we transport as part of the service. All staff are vetted and trained in safe working methods. We also follow clear reporting procedures, so if anything does go wrong, it’s addressed promptly and professionally, with transparency at every stage.
What exactly is included in a house cleaning visit?
A standard visit focuses on dusting, wiping and sanitising surfaces, cleaning kitchens and bathrooms, and vacuuming and mopping floors throughout. We concentrate on everyday build‑up: dust, crumbs, light grease and limescale. Tasks like oven deep cleaning, inside appliances, internal windows and carpet cleaning can be added if required. Before we start, we’ll agree a clear checklist with you so you know exactly which rooms and tasks are included, and you can highlight any areas that need extra attention.
How far in advance should I book?
For regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning in Lewisham, it’s best to book at least one to two weeks in advance so we can offer you your preferred day and time. One‑off or deep cleans, especially at busy times such as month‑end or just before holidays, can book up quickly, so the more notice you can give, the better. That said, we’ll always try to accommodate short‑notice requests where our schedule allows, and we can place you on a cancellation list if needed.
Do I need to be home while you clean?
No, you don’t need to be present if you’re comfortable with us holding keys or using a key safe. Many regular clients in Lewisham prefer this, as it minimises disruption to their day. We log key movements securely and follow strict security procedures. If it’s your first clean, you may wish to be there at the start to walk us through the property and your priorities. After that, we can usually manage the visit independently and update you as agreed.
