Studio / small flat: 1–2 hours
One-bedroom flat: 1.5–2.5 hours

How our cleaning process works — step by step

We follow a clear, systematic approach so cleaning time is efficient and outcomes are consistent. This helps us give accurate estimates and deliver on them.

1. Initial assessment and plan

Before work begins we assess the property or discuss conditions by phone. This establishes priorities, identifies any access constraints (staircases, narrow rooms) and confirms whether extra tasks are needed.

A short walkthrough also lets us advise on sensible expectations and any small preparations that save time on the day, such as clearing worktops or moving fragile items.

2. Task sequencing and time allocation

We plan rooms and tasks logically — top-to-bottom dusting, cleaning bathrooms and kitchens, then vacuuming and mopping — to avoid rework and reduce time on site without cutting corners.

Task sequencing is one reason our cleaning times are realistic: efficient order of operations prevents repeating tasks and keeps progress steady.

3. Standard cleaning steps

Dusting from high to low (skirting, ledges, light fittings)
Wiping and sanitising surfaces in kitchens and bathrooms
Vacuuming and mopping floors
Emptying bins and replacing liners
Attention to high-touch points (door handles, switches)

These core steps are included in our standard cleans. They form a reliable baseline so your home is hygienic and presentable after each visit.

4. Deep or specialised tasks

For deep cleans we add intensive work such as grout cleaning, appliance exteriors, inside ovens (if requested) and carpet spot treatment. These jobs extend the session but are planned so each task is effective.

We always agree specialised tasks in advance. That means time is allocated correctly and there are no unexpected charges or rushed work on the day.

5. Final quality check

Before leaving, we complete a room-by-room check to ensure standards are met and you’re satisfied with the work.

We’ll highlight anything that needs follow-up and will suggest sensible next steps — for example, recommending a scheduled deep clean if a surface needs more attention than time allows in a regular visit.

Typical time breakdown example

Here are two example itineraries to give you a clearer idea of how time is spent in a visit. These help clients visualise a cleaning session and plan accordingly.

Standard 2–3 bedroom clean — 2.5 hours (example)

10–15 minutes: initial walkthrough and plan
30–40 minutes: kitchen (surfaces, sink, wipe-down of doors and appliances)
25–35 minutes: bathrooms (sanitise, descale where needed, polish fixtures)
35–45 minutes: bedrooms and living areas (dusting, surfaces, beds, clutter clear)
20–30 minutes: vacuuming and mopping all floors
10 minutes: tidy-up and final check

This breakdown assumes a regular maintenance clean with reasonable upkeep. If a room requires extra attention, we’ll discuss extending the visit or booking a follow-up deep clean.

Deep clean — 4–6 hours (example)

20 minutes: detailed assessment and priorities
1–2 hours: intensive kitchen work, including extraction of grime and inside-cupboard attention
1 hour: bathrooms and tiling, grout treatment where necessary
1–2 hours: full living spaces and bedroom detail work (skirting, radiators, behind furniture)
Remaining time: floor finishes, spot treatments and quality assurance

Deep cleans are practical for end-of-tenancy, post-renovation or when surfaces have built-up dirt. We keep you informed about progress so you know how the time is being used.

Key factors that influence cleaning time

Understanding what affects duration helps with realistic planning and avoids underestimation.

Level of clutter — more tidying before cleaning increases time
Cleaning frequency — regular visits usually take less time
Property layout — stairs, tight corridors or many separate rooms require more effort
Pets — additional lifting of fur and cleaning around feeding areas
Specialist tasks — oven, window interiors, or heavy stain removal need extra minutes or a separate appointment
Access and parking — easy access keeps time on task maximised

If you know any of these factors apply to your property, mention them when you book. That helps us set the right time and avoid asking for extra visits mid-job.
