Who Our House Cleaning Service Is For

Homeowners

If you live in Kennington and want a consistently tidy, hygienic home without spending your evenings and weekends cleaning, our regular or one-off cleans are ideal. We work around your routine, and you can trust our professional, vetted cleaners in your property whether you are in or out.

Renters

Keeping a rented flat or house clean can help protect your deposit and avoid disputes. We support tenants with regular maintenance cleans and one-off end of tenancy cleaning when you move out, following the typical expectations of local letting agents and landlords.

Landlords & Letting Agents

We work with landlords and agents across Kennington to present properties in their best light between tenancies. From light refresh cleans to full deep cleans, we help you achieve a clean, ready-to-let property that photographs well and leaves a good impression at viewings.

Businesses & Home Offices

Smaller offices, studios and home-based businesses often don’t need a large contract cleaning firm but still require a presentable, hygienic space. Our house cleaning can be adapted for commercial use, focusing on desks, meeting areas, washrooms and communal spaces.

Students & Shared Houses

Student houses and shared rentals in and around Kennington benefit from periodic professional cleaning to keep on top of kitchens, bathrooms and common areas. We offer flexible, shared-cost cleans ideal for housemates who want a fresh, hygienic living space without arguments over the rota.

Our Step-by-Step House Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You can contact us by phone, email or our online form. We will ask a few straightforward questions about the size of the property, number of rooms, current condition and any particular concerns you have. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation estimate explaining what is included and the likely time required.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For larger homes, deep cleans or end of tenancy cleaning, we may recommend a short survey. This can often be done virtually with photographs or a quick video walk-through. In some cases, we will visit in person. The aim is to understand the exact scope, prioritise areas and confirm an accurate fixed price before we begin.

3. Preparation & Cleaning Day

Before our cleaners arrive, we ask that floors and surfaces are reasonably clear of personal items so we can clean effectively. On the day, our trained team will arrive within the agreed time window, equipped with all necessary products and tools. We walk through any specific instructions, protect delicate items, then work systematically room by room until the job is complete. Before leaving, we carry out a final check and invite you to review the work.

Transparent Pricing for House Cleaning in Kennington

We believe in simple, upfront pricing with no surprise extras:

Most regular house cleaning is priced by the hour, with a minimum visit length.
One-off deep cleans and end of tenancy cleaning are usually priced per job, based on size and condition.
Any optional add-ons (such as carpet cleaning or oven cleaning) are clearly itemised.

Our quotes specify what is included, how long we expect to be on site and any factors that might affect the final price (for example, significant additional time required due to very poor condition). We are always happy to break pricing down so you can adjust the scope to fit your budget.

Why Choose Professional Cleaners Instead of DIY?

While many people can manage basic cleaning, a professional service offers several clear advantages:

We use commercial-grade products and equipment that clean more effectively and efficiently.
Our cleaners follow a consistent system, reducing missed areas and saving you hours each week.
We know how to treat different surfaces safely, helping to protect fixtures and finishes.
For end of tenancy or pre-sale cleans, a professional finish can make the difference in inspections and viewings.
You gain peace of mind knowing the work is covered by our public liability insurance.

Ultimately, using a professional allows you to reclaim your time while still enjoying a well-kept, hygienic home.

Insurance, Training and Professional Standards

Kennington Carpet Cleaning is fully committed to safe, reliable service delivery. We hold appropriate public liability cover to protect you and your property while we work. Where cleaning equipment or materials are transported, we also ensure suitable goods in transit insurance is in place to safeguard against loss or damage in transit.

Our teams are trained in correct product use, colour-coding, cross-contamination prevention and safe manual handling. New staff work under supervision until we are satisfied they maintain the standards our clients expect. We follow sensible health and safety procedures and always aim to work quietly and respectfully within your home.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We take care to protect your belongings while we clean. Where required, we use floor protectors, non-scratch pads and microfibre cloths to avoid unnecessary wear on surfaces. Fragile or high-value items are either cleaned with great care or left untouched if you prefer.

Wherever practical, we favour concentrated and low-impact cleaning products, reducing packaging and chemical use while still delivering a hygienic result. We avoid excessive water use, dispose of waste responsibly and maintain our equipment to run efficiently. If you prefer us to use specific eco-friendly products, we can usually accommodate this by agreement in advance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does house cleaning in Kennington cost?

Pricing depends mainly on the size of the property, the level of soiling and whether you need a regular or one-off clean. Most standard weekly or fortnightly cleans are charged by the hour with a minimum visit, while deep cleans and end of tenancy jobs are usually priced per job. We provide clear, itemised quotes before any work is booked so you know exactly what is included. There are no hidden extras, and you are welcome to adjust the scope to suit your budget.

Can you provide same-day or urgent house cleaning?

Where our schedule allows, we do accept same-day or urgent bookings for house cleaning in Kennington, especially for move-outs, last-minute viewings or unexpected visits. Availability depends on existing commitments and the size of the job, so it is best to call us as early in the day as possible. For larger properties or deep cleans, we may need to schedule for the next available slot, but we will always aim to find a practical solution and be honest about what can realistically be achieved.

Are you insured while cleaning my property?

Yes. We carry comprehensive public liability insurance covering our work inside your property. In addition, our equipment and materials are protected under appropriate goods in transit insurance when being transported to and from your home. While our cleaners take great care with every item they handle, this insurance provides an extra layer of reassurance. We are happy to confirm details of our cover on request, and we always encourage clients to remove or secure extremely delicate or irreplaceable items before we attend.

What is included in a standard house clean?

A standard house cleaning visit focuses on the key areas that most people struggle to keep on top of: dusting, vacuuming, mopping, wiping surfaces, cleaning kitchens and bathrooms, and emptying bins. We work through agreed rooms and priorities within the booked time, ensuring high-traffic areas receive particular attention. Tasks such as oven interiors, inside fridges, heavy limescale removal or carpet shampooing are not usually included unless specifically requested, but they can be added as extra services. We will always confirm what is and isn’t covered in writing before the first visit.

How far in advance should I book?

For regular weekly or fortnightly house cleaning, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance so we can offer your preferred day and time. One-off deep cleans and end of tenancy jobs are best arranged as soon as you know your moving date, particularly at busy times of year. That said, we do keep some flexibility for shorter-notice work and will always try to accommodate you where possible. The more information you can provide when enquiring, the easier it is for us to schedule efficiently.
