Our Step-by-Step Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact us by phone, email, or online form. We’ll ask a few practical questions: property size, number of bathrooms, current condition, and any priorities (for example, focus on kitchen and bathrooms). Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote and explain how long the first clean is likely to take. For regular cleaning, we also discuss preferred days, times, and whether you’ll be home or we’ll hold keys securely.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most standard properties, we can quote accurately using a virtual survey – a short video call or photos of key rooms. For larger or more complex homes, we may suggest a brief onsite visit in Chiswick. This allows us to assess access, parking, flooring types, and any delicate items that need special care. The survey helps us set realistic timings and ensures there are no surprises on the day of cleaning.
3. Preparation & Cleaning Day
Before we arrive, we’ll confirm the appointment and any access arrangements. On the day, our professional cleaning team arrives with all necessary products and equipment (unless you prefer us to use your own). We walk through your priorities, agree the order of rooms, and then work systematically. At the end, we’ll invite you to check the property, highlight any areas needing extra attention, and agree the plan for future visits if it’s a regular service.
Transparent Pricing for Domestic Cleaning in Chiswick
We keep pricing straightforward and transparent. Domestic cleaning is usually charged by the hour, with a minimum booking time depending on property size. Regular cleans are often cheaper per hour than one-off visits because we’re maintaining rather than restoring the property.
Your quote will specify:
- Hourly rate or fixed price (for one-off deep or tenancy cleans)
- Estimated number of hours per visit
- What’s included, room by room
- Any agreed add-ons (e.g. oven clean, inside fridge)
We don’t hide charges. Parking and congestion costs (where applicable) are discussed in advance, and any changes in scope are agreed with you before we proceed.
Why Choose Professional Domestic Cleaning Over DIY?
Cleaning your own home is possible, but many clients choose a professional service for three main reasons: time, consistency, and results.
- Time-saving – Free up evenings and weekends by letting trained cleaners handle the routine tasks.
- Better results – We use commercial-grade equipment and proven methods that achieve a deeper, more even clean.
- Consistency – A structured checklist means the important areas are cleaned properly every time, not just when you have the energy.
- Health & hygiene – Correct products and techniques reduce dust, allergens, and bacteria.
- Care for surfaces – Using the wrong chemicals on stone, wood, or delicate finishes can cause damage; our teams are trained to avoid this.
Insurance, Training, and Professional Standards
Inviting cleaners into your home is a matter of trust. Carpet Cleaning Chiswick is fully committed to protecting your property and our staff.
- Public liability cover – We hold comprehensive public liability insurance to protect against accidental damage or injury on site.
- Goods in transit insurance – Where we transport any equipment or items, we maintain appropriate goods in transit insurance.
- Trained cleaning teams – Every cleaner is trained in safe product use, correct dilution, and surface-specific techniques.

We work quietly and respectfully in occupied homes, following your instructions on alarms, pets, and room access.
Care, Protection, and Sustainability
We aim to clean thoroughly while protecting both your home and the environment.
- Use of appropriate, non-abrasive products on delicate surfaces and finishes.
- Colour-coded cloths and mops to prevent cross-contamination between bathrooms, kitchens, and living areas.

We’re happy to work with your own preferred products if you have allergies, sensitivities, or a specific environmental policy you’d like us to follow.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does domestic cleaning in Chiswick cost?
Pricing depends on property size, the level of cleaning required, and how often we visit. Most regular domestic cleans are charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking time, while one-off deep cleans or end of tenancy services are often priced as a fixed package. During your enquiry, we’ll ask a few simple questions and, if needed, carry out a quick virtual survey so we can give you a clear, written quote with no hidden extras or surprise charges.
Can you provide same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?
Where our schedule allows, we do our best to help with same-day or short-notice cleaning in Chiswick, especially for move-outs, last-minute guests, or emergencies. Availability depends on existing bookings and the size of the property, so it’s always best to call as early as possible. If we can’t fit you in exactly when you’d like, we’ll offer the nearest available slot and, where appropriate, suggest a focused clean that targets your highest priority areas first.
Are you insured while working in my home?
Yes. We operate with comprehensive public liability cover to protect against accidental damage or injury during our work. Where equipment or items are transported, we also maintain goods in transit insurance. All team members are briefed on our insurance requirements and follow set procedures to minimise risk, including careful product use and safe working practices. If you have particularly high-value or fragile items, let us know during the survey so we can take any additional precautions you’d like.
What’s included in a standard domestic cleaning service?
A standard domestic clean focuses on maintaining day-to-day hygiene and presentation. This typically covers dusting, vacuuming, mopping, cleaning kitchens and bathrooms, wiping accessible surfaces, and emptying bins. We work room by room using a checklist, but we also tailor tasks to your priorities, such as giving extra attention to bathrooms or the kitchen. Deep cleaning tasks like inside ovens, fridge interiors, or heavy-lifting for behind appliances are not included as standard, but can usually be added by arrangement at an agreed extra cost.
How far in advance should I 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 in Chiswick. One-off deep cleans and end of tenancy services can often be arranged at shorter notice, but availability varies, especially at month-end and around holidays. If you have a fixed deadline, such as a check-out inspection or moving date, it’s best to get in touch as soon as you know the date so we can reserve a slot and plan the work properly.
Do I need to be at home during the clean?
No, you don’t have to be at home while we clean, although you’re welcome to be. Many regular clients provide us with a spare key or arrange access via a concierge or key safe. Keys are coded and stored securely when not in use. At the first visit we’ll agree clear instructions for alarms, pets, and any rooms that should remain locked or untouched. If you prefer to be present initially, we can later switch to unattended visits once you’re comfortable with the service.
