Who Our House Cleaning Service Is For
Homeowners
Busy Chelsea homeowners rely on us to keep their properties guest-ready all year round. Whether you live in a town house, mews property or apartment, we create a regular cleaning plan that keeps on top of dust, limescale and daily mess without you needing to think about it.
Renters
We work with renters who want a tidy, well-kept home without spending their evenings and weekends cleaning. Regular visits help you maintain the property to a standard your landlord will be happy with and reduce stress when you eventually move out.
Landlords & Letting Agents
For landlords and agents, we provide professional cleaning between tenancies, as well as ongoing maintenance cleans for managed properties. We understand inventory requirements and can work to check-in/check-out reports, ensuring the property is presented well for new tenants.
Businesses & Home Offices
Small businesses and professionals working from home use our house cleaning service to keep client-facing areas and home offices tidy and hygienic. We can schedule visits outside of your working hours to minimise disruption.
Students & Shared Houses
Student flats and shared houses in and around Chelsea often need a regular tidy-up to stay on top of communal areas. We offer flexible cleaning plans that can be shared between housemates, keeping kitchens, bathrooms and living spaces under control.
What Is Included and Excluded
Included as Standard
- All labour needed for the agreed cleaning tasks
- Use of our professional cleaning products and equipment (unless you prefer we use yours)
- Standard domestic cleaning of reachable areas
- Routine descaling of taps and shower screens (over multiple visits)
- Basic cobweb removal on accessible ceilings and corners
Not Included as Standard
To keep our pricing fair and transparent, some tasks are not included in a normal house clean but can often be added or quoted separately:
- External window cleaning or work at height
- Carpet shampooing or steam cleaning
- Deep oven cleaning (including removal of doors and racks for soaking)
- Deep mould remediation or heavy biohazard cleaning
- Gardening, exterior jet washing or building works clean-up beyond light dust

If you are unsure whether something is included, mention it during your enquiry – we will always clarify what is covered before any work starts.
Our Step-by-Step Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact us by phone, email or our online form. We ask a few straightforward questions: property size, number of bathrooms, type of flooring, whether you have pets, and what you would like us to focus on. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation, outlining the recommended frequency and approximate visit length.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most standard homes in Chelsea, a short virtual survey by video call or photographs is enough to confirm the quote. For larger or more complex properties, we may suggest a brief onsite visit. This allows us to assess access, parking, and any delicate surfaces or items. The survey ensures our trained cleaners arrive prepared with the right products and equipment.
3. Preparation & First Clean
Before the first clean, we agree key details: entry arrangements, alarm procedures, preferred products, and any areas you would like us to avoid. On the day, our professional team arrives within the agreed time window, in uniform, with all necessary supplies. The first visit is usually slightly longer, allowing us to bring your home up to our maintenance standard. Subsequent visits then focus on keeping it that way.
Transparent Pricing Explained
Our house cleaning in Chelsea is priced either per hour or per visit, depending on your preference and the type of service.
- Regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning – usually charged at an hourly rate, with a minimum visit length.
- One-off or deep cleans – usually priced per job, based on property size, condition and any extras requested.
We confirm all rates in writing before starting. There are no hidden charges for cleaning products or standard equipment. If parking fees or congestion charges apply, these will be clearly stated in advance. You can pay by bank transfer or card, and invoices are provided for every booking.
Why Choose Professional House Cleaning Over DIY?
Cleaning your own home is perfectly possible, but many of our clients in Chelsea find that hiring professional cleaners offers several advantages:
- Consistent standards – our teams follow structured checklists built from real local experience.
- Time savings – free up evenings and weekends to focus on work, family and rest.
- Better results – we use professional-grade products, tools and techniques for stubborn limescale, grease and dust.
- Reduced stress – no need to juggle schedules or remember what needs doing when.
- Accountability – if something isn’t right, you can speak to us and we’ll put it right quickly.
Insurance, Training and Professional Standards
Chelsea Cleaners operates to high professional standards so you can feel comfortable inviting us into your home.
- Fully insured for your peace of mind
- Goods in transit insurance where items are transported as part of our service (for example, if we move items for offsite cleaning)
- Public liability cover to protect against accidental damage or injury
- Trained cleaning teams who understand different surfaces, finishes and fabrics
- Clear confidentiality and key-holding procedures if we clean while you are out
New team members receive supervised training and ongoing support. We also spot-check work and welcome client feedback to maintain our standards.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every home with care, whether it is a compact studio or a large family house. Surfaces are checked before products are used, and delicate items are moved carefully or cleaned around if you prefer. Where possible, we work with low-odour, environmentally-conscious products that still offer strong cleaning performance.
Our sustainability approach includes:
- Using concentrated products to reduce packaging waste
- Microfibre cloths and mop heads that can be washed and reused
- Route planning to minimise unnecessary travel across Chelsea and nearby areas
- Following manufacturer guidelines to prolong the life of your surfaces and appliances
If you have specific allergies, sensitivities or sustainability preferences, let us know and we will adapt our approach where practical.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does house cleaning in Chelsea cost?
Costs depend on the size of your property, the level of cleaning required and how often we visit. Smaller flats with regular weekly cleaning are at the lower end, while larger houses or one-off deep cleans naturally take longer. We usually recommend a minimum visit length to ensure a meaningful result. After a brief discussion and, if needed, a virtual survey, we provide a clear quotation with no obligation. There are no hidden extras – any parking or additional services are itemised in advance.
Can you offer same-day or urgent cleaning?
Same-day or next-day house cleaning in Chelsea is sometimes possible, particularly midweek, but it depends on our existing schedule. If you have an urgent request – for example, visitors arriving at short notice or a last-minute inspection – contact us by phone for the fastest response. We will let you know straight away what we can realistically achieve in the time available and provide a firm price before confirming. Where we cannot fit you in, we may be able to offer an alternative time or a shorter, targeted clean.
Are you insured while working in my home?
Yes. Chelsea Cleaners is a fully insured cleaning company. We hold public liability cover for work carried out in your property and goods in transit insurance where applicable, for example if we transport items for offsite cleaning. Our policies are designed to protect both you and our team in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury. Copies of our insurance documents are available on request, and we are happy to answer any specific questions you may have before you book.
What exactly is included in a standard house clean?
A standard visit focuses on keeping your home consistently tidy and hygienic: dusting, vacuuming, mopping, bathroom cleaning, kitchen surface cleaning, bin emptying and general wipe-downs. We target high-use areas such as bathrooms, kitchens and living spaces, rotating deeper tasks like skirting boards and door frames over time if you have regular visits. Inside appliances, external windows, carpet shampooing and decluttering are not included as standard but can often be added or quoted separately. During your enquiry, we agree a clear task list so you know exactly what will be done each visit.
How far in advance should I book?
For regular weekly or fortnightly house cleaning in Chelsea, it is best to book at least one to two weeks in advance so we can offer a day and time that suits you. One-off or deep cleans can sometimes be arranged at shorter notice, particularly outside peak times. If you know you have a specific date – such as a move, event or family visit – contacting us as early as possible gives you more flexibility. Once you are an existing client, we can often accommodate occasional changes with reasonable notice.
Do I need to be at home during the clean?
You are welcome to be at home, but many clients prefer us to clean while they are at work or out. We have secure key-holding procedures for regular customers, and alarm instructions are stored safely and separately from your address. Our professional cleaners are vetted and trained, and we treat your home with respect at all times. If you are unsure, you may wish to be present for the first visit and then decide whether you are comfortable with us attending independently for future cleans.
