Operating across Kensington, we understand the mix of period homes, mansion blocks and modern apartments in the area. Our team is used to working around concierge services, porters and building management, and we can provide documentation such as proof of public liability cover and DBS checks on request.

Parking and access in Kensington can be challenging; we organise our arrival times and equipment accordingly so your clean starts on time and runs smoothly, with minimal disruption to neighbours and building staff.

Our Step-by-Step Domestic Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

You contact us by phone, email or online form with details of your property: size, number of bedrooms/bathrooms, and the type of clean required. We ask a few practical questions about access, parking and any priorities you may have. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote outlining what is included and the likely duration.

2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)

For larger homes, deep cleans or more complex jobs, we may recommend a brief virtual survey via video call or an onsite visit. This allows us to assess the current condition, identify any delicate surfaces or specialist materials, and agree the scope in detail. The survey helps ensure we send the right number of cleaners, equipment and products so the work can be completed efficiently and to a high standard.

3. Preparation

Before the cleaning day, we confirm your booking in writing, including arrival window, agreed tasks and any optional extras. We ask that floors and key surfaces are reasonably clear so we can focus on cleaning rather than tidying. On arrival, our professional team walks through your property with you, confirms priorities and notes any fragile items. We then carry out the clean systematically, checking each area before we leave.

Transparent Pricing for Domestic Cleaning

Our pricing is straightforward and based on property size, frequency and the level of work required. Regular domestic cleaning is usually charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking time, while one-off deep cleans and end of tenancy cleans may be priced per job.

Your quote will clearly state:

• The hourly rate or fixed price
• Estimated duration and number of cleaners
• What is included in the service
• Any optional extras and their cost

There are no hidden charges; any potential additional costs (such as congestion or parking) are discussed upfront where applicable.

Why Use Professional Domestic Cleaners Instead of DIY?

While many people can clean their own homes, professional domestic cleaning offers several advantages:

• Consistent standards, with structured checklists and supervision
• Time savings, freeing you to focus on work, family or rest
• Access to commercial-grade products and equipment
• Knowledge of how to care for different surfaces and finishes
• Reduced wear and damage from incorrect products or methods

Our cleaners are trained to work methodically, respect your privacy and maintain security procedures, giving you peace of mind as well as a clean home.

Insurance and Professional Standards

As a responsible cleaning company, Kensington Cleaners maintains robust insurance and operating standards:

• Public liability cover – Protects you and your property in the unlikely event of accidental damage during our work.
• Goods in transit insurance – Where we transport any of our own equipment or your items for specialist cleaning, they are protected in transit.
• Trained cleaning teams – All cleaners receive practical training in chemical handling, safe working at height (within domestic limits) and customer care.

Staff are reference-checked, and we can allocate the same cleaner for regular visits wherever possible, helping build trust and familiarity.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

Looking after your home means more than removing dust.

• We use products suited to your surfaces, helping to preserve finishes on stone, wood, glass and stainless steel.
• Protective measures such as colour-coded cloths reduce the risk of cross-contamination between kitchens and bathrooms.
• Where practical, we can use low-odour or eco-friendlier products, especially in homes with children, pets or allergies.
• We minimise waste by using refillable containers and microfibre systems, and dispose of rubbish in line with local regulations.

Our aim is a home that is not only visibly clean but also healthier and more comfortable to live in.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does domestic cleaning in Kensington cost?

Domestic cleaning costs depend on the size of your property, the level of cleaning required and how often we visit. Regular weekly or fortnightly cleans are usually charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking time, while deep cleans and end of tenancy work may be priced as a fixed job. After discussing your needs and, if necessary, carrying out a brief survey, we provide a clear written quote so you know exactly what you will pay before you commit.

Can you provide same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?

Same-day or short-notice domestic cleaning in Kensington is sometimes possible, particularly outside peak times and for smaller properties. Availability depends on our schedule, the size of your home and the type of clean required. If you need urgent help, contact us by phone so we can check our rota immediately. Where we cannot attend the same day, we will offer the earliest suitable slot and may suggest a focused clean targeting your highest priority areas first.

Are you insured in case something is damaged?

Yes. Kensington Cleaners is fully insured for the domestic cleaning work we carry out. We hold public liability cover to protect you in the event of accidental damage or injury, and goods in transit insurance where any items or equipment are transported. Our cleaners are trained to handle belongings carefully and to report any issues immediately. If something does go wrong, we deal with it promptly and transparently, following our documented claims process to reach a fair resolution.

What is included in a standard domestic cleaning visit?

A standard visit covers the regular tasks needed to keep your home presentable and hygienic. This typically includes dusting, vacuuming, mopping of hard floors, cleaning of bathrooms and toilets, wiping kitchen worktops and cupboard fronts, and cleaning accessible surfaces and mirrors. We also empty household bins if liners are provided. Deep cleaning of ovens, carpets, upholstery or external windows is not included as standard but can often be added. Before work starts, we agree a checklist with you so the cleaner focuses on what matters most.

How far in advance should I book?

For regular weekly or fortnightly domestic cleaning, it is best to book at least one to two weeks in advance so we can reserve a consistent slot for you. Deep cleans, end of tenancy cleans and larger properties may need a little more notice, especially at busy times such as month-end or pre-holiday periods. However, we always try to accommodate last-minute requests where our schedule allows. Once booked, you will receive confirmation of the date, time window and agreed scope in writing.
