Domestic Cleaning
A household brief with a sensible order
| Your household detail | How we use it | What gets agreed |
|---|---|---|
| Rooms in regular use | We ask which rooms are occupied every day and which can be left out of a particular visit. A spare bedroom used occasionally should not automatically receive the same allocation as a busy family bathroom. Your priorities establish the working order before the cleaner begins, with a realistic scope for the available time. | A room list, priority order and any rooms that must remain undisturbed. |
| Products and equipment | Describe the vacuum cleaner, mop and products available where these are to be provided by the household. Tell us about manufacturer instructions or product preferences when booking. We identify what is needed for the specified work rather than assuming that every bottle stored under a sink suits every surface. | The equipment and product arrangement forms part of the confirmed cleaning brief. |
Domestic Cleaning
The everyday room schedule
| Space | Work within the agreed scope | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen used for daily meals | Accessible worktops are cleared of ordinary loose debris and wiped, with the sink, taps and appliance exteriors addressed as specified. We work around belongings that have not been authorised for moving. The floor is completed after higher surfaces so residue from the room clean is not left on a newly finished floor. | Oven interiors, heavy grease restoration and inside-appliance cleaning need their own listed scope. |
| Bathroom and cloakroom | The agreed sanitary fittings receive attention appropriate to their finish, including the basin, toilet and bath or shower. Accessible surrounding surfaces are wiped and suitable floors cleaned. We agree the suitable cloth and task arrangements for the visit so toilet work is kept separate from general household surfaces. | Damaged grout, failing sealant and permanent staining are condition issues rather than routine dirt removal. |
| Bedrooms and shared living rooms | We dust the accessible surfaces included in the plan, vacuum carpeted areas and clean suitable hard flooring. Small objects are handled only as agreed, with display items and delicate possessions identified in advance. The focus is usable room cleaning rather than reorganising the contents of cupboards or changing a household arrangement. | Laundry, bed changing and internal storage tasks are included only when specifically arranged. |
Domestic Cleaning
Surface decisions before products are used
| Finish to identify | Our cleaning decision | Detail to tell us |
|---|---|---|
| Timber and sealed hard floors | We establish the floor type and any care instructions before choosing a cleaning approach. Excess moisture is avoided where a finish requires controlled damp cleaning. A worn seal or lifted edge is raised as a condition concern, because increasing product strength or wetness cannot turn a damaged floor into a sound surface. | Let us know about recent treatment, vulnerable edges and any areas your flooring supplier excludes. |
| Stone, composite and delicate worktops | Kitchen surfaces are considered by material rather than appearance alone. We ask about care restrictions and avoid treating an unidentified worktop as a universal washable surface. Where an instruction is unclear, the sensible next step is clarification, not an aggressive attempt to remove a mark that could be damage. | Provide the material name or available care sheet when requesting detailed surface work. |
Domestic Cleaning
How the visit moves through your home
| Point in the visit | Work carried out | Why this order matters |
|---|---|---|
| Confirm priorities on entry | The cleaner checks the room list and any changes affecting access, such as an occupied study or a bathroom temporarily unavailable. A newly requested task is considered against the agreed time instead of simply being added to an already full schedule. Areas containing fragile items or belongings that must remain untouched are identified before work starts. | A short confirmation prevents a technically completed task from displacing the work you actually wanted first. |
| Complete surfaces before floor finishing | Within the accessible room, higher agreed surfaces are addressed before the final floor work. Kitchen and bathroom activities are organised so that the required products and cloths suit the area. Where several rooms share a route, we account for household movement rather than leaving a wet floor across the only usable passage. | The order supports a usable home while the agreed cleaning is in progress. |
| Review the completed list | At the end, we review the requested priorities and identify anything that could not be reached or would need a different service. A mark that remains because of wear is explained as such. If the booked time was insufficient for a lower-priority task, that is discussed when planning the next visit rather than presented as completed work. | Future visits can be adjusted using the actual room workload rather than an undefined whole-home promise. |
Domestic Cleaning
Time, priorities and the price of the visit
| Booking element | Price or planning basis | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Hourly domestic cleaning | Domestic cleaning starts from £23 per hour. The household’s room count, workload and chosen priorities determine the time required; the starting hourly figure is not a claim that an entire property can be cleaned in a single hour. We agree the visit length and the task list together. | The quote identifies the planned hours and the routine cleaning requested. |
| Optional specialist work | Internal oven cleaning, carpet extraction and upholstery treatment are separate service scopes unless explicitly included in your quote. The same applies to additional household duties that take time away from room cleaning. We list agreed additions clearly so a request for help with a home does not become an ambiguous promise to undertake every task. | Choose relevant additions individually and keep the routine visit easy to understand. |
Domestic Cleaning
The checks that matter in a lived-in home
| Review item | What we look at | Action if something changes |
|---|---|---|
| Priority rooms and usable surfaces | We review the main tasks against the household list, looking at the specified kitchen and bathroom fittings, accessible dusting and floor areas. The check is about the agreed work, not a claim to have inspected every hidden part of the property. Belongings and closed storage areas remain outside the scope unless arranged. | Tell us about any missed agreed task while the visit details are clear. |
| Material concerns found during work | A loose fitting, flaking finish or surface that reacts unexpectedly is treated as a reason to pause that task and communicate. We do not conceal a condition issue beneath a stronger product or describe cleaning as a repair. The household can decide what further assessment is appropriate before that surface is included again. | The next brief can exclude a vulnerable area or specify the required care instructions. |

Questions about cleaning your household
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| How should extra household dirt be assessed beyond routine upkeep when visible wear may be mistaken for removable dirt? | Show the particular accumulated areas and explain whether they need attention beyond the normal domestic task list. Show the affected finish and describe any known wear before requesting extra household attention there. A separate deeper-cleaning request may be appropriate; its additional detail should be discussed before time is allocated. A routine visit should not promise to repair a damaged surface through repeated or stronger wiping. |
| How should kitchen priorities be set when the requested cleaning meets recently decorated surfaces? | Tell us which cooking surfaces need routine attention before less frequently used rooms are added. Pass on the decorator’s care guidance for surfaces beside the ordinary household tasks requested. We agree the household order rather than assuming every room receives identical time at each visit. Recent decoration should not be treated as proof that every coating is ready for wiping. |
| What should the end-of-visit review compare when adjacent surfaces need different care? | Compare the work with the agreed room priorities and identify any space that could not be accessed. Name the adjoining finishes and provide available care instructions for the selected household surfaces. A useful review records the household scope addressed rather than making a claim about every concealed surface. Routine cleaning should follow their individual restrictions rather than assume one approach suits every finish. |
| What can be discussed while part of the household brief is unresolved if relevant property facilities may be unavailable? | Explain what is known about the requested rooms and identify the particular access or surface detail still needing clarification. Explain the facilities that will actually be available for the agreed household tasks before booking. The unresolved point should remain visible rather than becoming an assumption that every task can be undertaken. A room list alone does not establish the practical arrangements needed for an ordinary cleaning visit. |
| Who should approve changes to the household cleaning list if large furniture blocks the requested cleaning area? | Identify the booking contact and explain who can agree a changed priority affecting the selected rooms or belongings. Identify the furniture staying in place and show the floor space that remains reachable. A person admitting the cleaner should not automatically be treated as authorised to expand the household scope. The household brief should not assume heavy moving as an ordinary way to gain access. |
Notting Hill / YOUR PROPERTY
Planning domestic cleaning at your Notting Hill address

|---|---|
| Documented local setting | The Ladbroke conservation-area description identifies nineteenth-century development and mainly Victorian and Edwardian architecture in the northern borough. |
| Where the reference applies | Short area-specific descriptions of conservation areas, not all properties in the wider district. The reference describes that locality rather than the layout, contents or condition of every property. The appointment is planned from the current details for your address. |
| Your actual service brief | Share your room count, preferred frequency, floor types and any product preferences or access instructions. Include the full postcode, the correct entrance and photographs of the selected areas. Identify shared spaces or another person who controls access so the requested work stays within the authorised property boundary. |
| Arranging a practical visit | Share your preferred date and any handover, operating or occupancy constraint. A requested time becomes an appointment after the selected work, entry arrangements and availability have been agreed. Tell us about changes to the rooms, items or access before extending the original brief. |
