Who Our House Cleaning Service Is For
Homeowners
Whether you live in a family house, a flat or a maisonette, regular professional cleaning keeps on top of dust, limescale and day-to-day mess, protecting your fixtures and fittings and freeing up your time.
Renters and Tenants
We work with tenants who want their home kept presentable without the hassle. We also offer end of tenancy cleaning to help you leave the property in the condition required by your landlord or letting agent.
Landlords and Letting Agents
We provide reliable cleaning between tenancies, during void periods and as part of longer-term maintenance. Clean, well-presented properties let faster and help reduce complaints and wear-and-tear issues.
Businesses and Home Offices
For professionals working from home, we can focus on key areas such as home offices, reception spaces and guest cloakrooms – ensuring your working environment is tidy, hygienic and presentable for clients.
Students and Shared Houses
Shared accommodation often needs a neutral, reliable cleaner who can maintain communal areas fairly and consistently. We clean kitchens, bathrooms and living rooms so housemates can focus on studying and work.
Items and Areas Typically Included
During a standard house clean we can usually cover:
- All main rooms – bedrooms, living rooms, hallways, stairs, landings
- Kitchens – surfaces, sinks, hobs, cupboard exteriors, visible appliances
- Bathrooms and WCs – sanitary ware, tiles, mirrors and chrome fittings
- Interior windows that are easily reachable without ladders
- Light dusting of picture frames, ornaments and radiators
In a deep clean, we can add more detailed tasks such as inside kitchen cupboards, oven cleaning, fridge and freezer cleaning, and more intensive limescale removal, subject to discussion.
What Is Not Included as Standard
To keep our service safe, efficient and properly insured, certain tasks are excluded from a standard house clean:
- External window cleaning at height
- Working at height on ladders or steps beyond our safety policy
- Specialist cleaning of antiques, artwork or delicate items
- Carpet and upholstery shampooing (offered as a separate service)
- Heavy lifting or moving large furniture and appliances
- Mould removal beyond light surface mildew
- Waste removal, decluttering or disposal of large items
If you need anything more specialist, we are happy to advise and, where possible, provide a separate quote or recommend an appropriate service.
How Our House Cleaning Process Works
1. Enquiry & Quote
Contact us by phone, email or via our website. We will ask a few straightforward questions about your property size, number of rooms, current condition, parking and access. From there, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote for regular or one-off cleaning, depending on what you need.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most standard homes, a detailed phone or virtual survey is sufficient. For larger or more complex properties, we may recommend a short onsite visit. This helps us understand any specific requirements, such as pets, cluttered spaces, delicate surfaces or problem areas like heavy limescale or grease.
3. Preparation and First Clean
Once you are happy with the quote, we book your cleaning slot. We confirm the date, time, key arrangements and any priorities you want us to focus on. On the day, our trained, professional cleaners arrive with the necessary products and equipment (or use yours, if preferred) and carry out the agreed cleaning schedule, working methodically through your home.
Transparent Pricing and How We Charge
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Our house cleaning is usually charged:
- By the hour for regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning
- At a fixed price or estimated hours for one-off and deep cleans
Rates depend on property size, frequency, and how much work is required on the first visit. There are no hidden fees – any parking, congestion or additional charges are explained clearly in advance. We can also offer tailored packages for landlords, managing agents and long-term clients.
Why Choose Professional House Cleaning Instead of DIY
While many people clean their own homes, a professional service offers several advantages:
- Consistent standards – the same level of cleanliness every visit
- Time saving – freeing you to focus on family, work and leisure
- Proper products and techniques for different surfaces
- Systematic approach – nothing important is overlooked
- Reduced wear and damage from incorrect or harsh cleaning methods
As experienced cleaners, we know where dirt accumulates, what products are safe for particular materials and how to work efficiently without cutting corners.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Finchley Cleaners operates to clear, professional standards for your peace of mind. We are fully insured, including:
- Public liability cover – protecting you and your property while we work
- Goods in transit insurance – covering cleaning equipment and materials we bring to your home
Our cleaning teams are trained in safe handling of chemicals, correct dilution of products, and appropriate methods for different surfaces. Staff are carefully selected, vetted and supervised, with regular quality checks and ongoing training to keep standards high.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every home as if it were our own. That means:
- Using appropriate products for delicate finishes, such as natural stone or wood
- Protecting surfaces from scratching and chemical damage
- Respecting your belongings, privacy and preferences at all times
Where possible, we use low-impact and eco-conscious products, reduce waste and minimise unnecessary travel by grouping local appointments. If you prefer specific brands, fragrance-free options or cruelty-free products, we can discuss this and either use yours or source suitable alternatives.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does house cleaning in Finchley cost?
The cost depends on the size of your property, its current condition and how often you would like us to clean. Regular weekly or fortnightly visits are usually charged at an hourly rate, with a minimum booking time. One-off and deep cleans are quoted individually based on the time and resources required. We always provide a clear, written estimate before you commit, and we are happy to tailor the scope of work to fit a specific budget or priority list.
Can you provide same-day or urgent house cleaning?
Where our schedule allows, we do our best to accommodate same-day or short-notice cleaning requests, particularly for move-outs, special occasions or unexpected situations. Availability will depend on existing bookings and the size of the job, so it is always best to call as early as possible. If we cannot attend on the same day, we will offer the soonest suitable slot and may suggest a reduced or focused clean if time is limited.
Are your cleaners insured while working in my home?
Yes. Finchley Cleaners is fully insured for the work we carry out. This includes public liability cover to protect you and your property, as well as appropriate cover for the equipment and materials we bring with us. We work to clear safety procedures and risk assessments to minimise any chance of damage or accidents. If an issue does arise, we handle it promptly and transparently, in line with our insurance and company policies.
What exactly is included in a standard house clean?
A standard clean generally covers all routine tasks needed to keep your home presentable and hygienic. This means dusting and wiping surfaces, vacuuming and mopping floors, cleaning bathrooms and WCs, and cleaning kitchen worktops, hobs and cupboard exteriors. We also empty bins and do basic spot cleaning where appropriate. During the initial enquiry, we will confirm your priorities and any areas you would like us to pay special attention to, so the scope of work is completely clear before we start.
How far in advance should I book?
For regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning, we recommend booking at least a week in advance so we can secure your preferred day and time. For one-off or deep cleans, particularly larger properties or pre-tenancy jobs, a little more notice is helpful. That said, our schedule is flexible and we will always try to fit you in sooner if we have availability. Once your regular slot is confirmed, it is yours on an ongoing basis, subject to occasional adjustments for holidays and bank holidays.
