What Is Not Included as Standard
To be fully transparent, the following items are not included in a standard domestic clean, but may be added or quoted for separately where possible:
- External window cleaning at height or requiring ladders
- Carpet, rug and upholstery steam cleaning (offered as a separate specialist service)
- Deep oven cleaning (beyond wipe-down of external surfaces)

We will always discuss any special requirements in advance so expectations are clear on both sides.
Our Step-by-Step Domestic Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact us by phone, email or via our online form. We will ask a few simple questions about your property: size, number of rooms, flooring types, pets, and the level of cleaning required. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation estimate for regular or one-off cleaning, explaining what is and is not covered, and suggesting a suitable visit frequency.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most homes, a detailed virtual survey via photos or video call is sufficient. For larger or more complex properties, we may recommend a brief onsite visit. This allows us to understand access, parking, surfaces, and any delicate items that need special care. The survey helps us allocate the right number of cleaners, the right products, and an accurate time estimate, avoiding surprises later.
3. Preparation Before We Arrive
We keep preparation straightforward so your clean runs smoothly. We ask that you:
- Ensure we have clear access to the property
- Move fragile or high-value items to a safe place if you prefer
- Secure pets if they are nervous around visitors
- Provide any specific instructions or priorities in writing
On arrival, our professional, uniformed team will walk through the agreed checklist with you (if you are home), then get to work methodically, room by room.
Local Domestic Cleaning Expertise in Hammersmith
As a Hammersmith-based company, we know the local housing stock well – from period terraces and mansion blocks to new-build apartments and shared student houses. This practical local knowledge helps us plan for common challenges such as parking restrictions, narrow staircases, older finishes and mixed flooring types.
We build long-term relationships with clients across Hammersmith, Ravenscourt Park, Brook Green, Shepherd's Bush and surrounding areas, offering consistent cleaners, reliable timekeeping and open communication. You will always know who is coming to your home and when.
Transparent Pricing for Domestic Cleaning
We price domestic cleaning fairly and transparently, based on:
- Property size and number of rooms
- Level of soiling and any initial deep cleaning required
- Frequency of visits (weekly, fortnightly, monthly, one-off)
- Any specialist tasks requested (e.g. inside fridge, internal windows)
Most work is charged at an hourly rate, with a minimum booking time to ensure we can complete a proper, thorough clean. We confirm your rate and estimated visit length in writing before we start. There are no hidden extras; any changes to the agreed plan are always discussed with you first.
Why Choose Professional Domestic Cleaning Instead of DIY?
Cleaning your own home is possible, but professional cleaning brings several advantages:
- Consistent standards – A set checklist followed every visit, so key tasks are never missed.
- Time saving – Free up evenings and weekends for family, work or rest.
- Better techniques – Trained cleaners know how to tackle limescale, grease and embedded dust effectively without damaging surfaces.
- Professional equipment – Access to commercial-grade vacuums and suitable cleaning agents for different materials.
- Health benefits – A more thorough reduction in allergens, dust and bacteria, particularly useful for families with pets or allergies.
Most of our clients find that a professional clean, even just once a fortnight, makes it far easier to keep on top of day-to-day tidying.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your home and belongings are important, so we take protection seriously. Hammersmith Carpet Cleaning is:
- Fully insured with comprehensive public liability cover for work carried out in your property
- Covered by appropriate goods in transit insurance when transporting our equipment and products to and from your home
- Staffed by trained, vetted, and supervised cleaning teams who follow clear procedures and risk assessments
Our cleaners are instructed to work carefully around your possessions, to report any issues immediately, and to treat every property with the same respect as their own home.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We balance effective cleaning with care for your home and the environment:
- Surface-safe methods – We match products and techniques to your specific floors, worktops and fixtures to avoid damage.
- Protective measures – Use of colour-coded cloths and mops to reduce cross-contamination between kitchen and bathroom areas.
- Responsible products – Wherever practical, we select low-odour, biodegradable agents that still deliver strong cleaning performance.
- Waste awareness – We minimise product waste and encourage correct recycling of packaging.
If you have particular sensitivities or preferences, such as fragrance-free products, we will discuss options in advance and adapt our approach accordingly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does domestic cleaning in Hammersmith cost?
Our domestic cleaning prices depend on the size of your home, how often you would like us to visit, and whether you need a standard or more intensive clean. Most homes are charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking, and we provide a clear estimate before any work starts. Larger properties or those needing an initial deep clean may take longer on the first visit, then settle into a shorter, regular routine. There are no hidden fees, and any optional extras are always discussed in advance.
Can you provide same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?
Where our schedule allows, we can often arrange same-day or next-day domestic cleaning in Hammersmith, particularly for one-off or emergency situations such as pre-guest or post-event cleans. Availability depends on existing bookings and the size of the job, so the earlier you contact us, the better chance we have of fitting you in. For urgent requests, calling us directly is usually the quickest way to check our diary and agree a realistic arrival window.
Are you insured while cleaning my home?
Yes. We operate with full public liability insurance for work carried out in your property, and appropriate goods in transit insurance for our equipment and materials. Our professional cleaning teams are trained to work carefully and to follow clear procedures if anything goes wrong. In the rare event of accidental damage, we will always be open and honest, and we will work with you and our insurers to resolve matters fairly and promptly.
What is included in a standard domestic cleaning service?
A standard domestic clean focuses on regular maintenance tasks: dusting, vacuuming, mopping, cleaning bathrooms and WCs, wiping kitchen surfaces, hob exteriors and cupboard fronts, and cleaning internal glass and mirrors. We also empty bins where liners are provided. Inside ovens, deep appliance cleaning, carpet steam cleaning and external windows are not included as standard but can often be added or quoted separately. Before we start, we will agree a clear checklist with you so you know exactly what to expect on each visit.
How far in advance do I need to book?
For regular weekly or fortnightly domestic cleaning, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance so we can reserve a consistent day and time for you. One-off or deep cleans are best booked as early as possible, especially around busy periods such as bank holidays and the end of the month. That said, we do keep some flexibility in our schedule, so if you need something sooner, it is always worth asking – we will do our best to accommodate you.
Do I need to be home during the clean?
You are welcome to be at home if you prefer, but many of our clients choose to provide access via a key, key safe or building concierge. Our professional cleaners are vetted and trained to follow your instructions regarding alarms, locks and keys. We keep your details securely and only authorised staff have access. If you are not home, we will still follow the agreed checklist and can leave a brief summary of work completed or any recommendations for future visits.
