Deep Cleaning in London by Cleaning House
At Cleaning House, we provide thorough, methodical deep cleaning across London for homes, rentals and workplaces. As an experienced London cleaning company, we know how to tackle built-up grime, hidden dust and neglected areas that standard weekly cleans simply don’t reach.
What Is a Professional Deep Clean?
A deep clean is a detailed, top-to-bottom clean that targets areas usually missed during routine housekeeping. We move and clean behind furniture where safe, wash high-touch points, degrease kitchens, descale bathrooms and refresh all key surfaces.
Our professional deep cleaning service focuses on hygiene, not just appearance. We use commercial-grade products and equipment, safe for domestic use, to remove limescale, grease, soap scum, dust and allergens. A deep clean is ideal before moving in, after building works, ahead of a new baby, or when your home or business simply needs a proper reset.
Local London Expertise You Can Rely On
We work across London every day, so we understand the challenges of city properties: compact kitchens, high-traffic hallways, older bathrooms, and busy shared houses. Our teams plan around parking, access and building rules so your clean runs smoothly with minimal disruption.
Every job is scheduled and supervised from our London base, and we’re happy to work around school runs, office hours, concierge requirements and security procedures. Our cleaners are fully vetted, uniformed and fully insured, and we always respect neighbours and building noise policies.
Who Our Deep Cleaning Service Is For
Homeowners
Ideal if you haven’t had a proper deep clean in a while, are preparing for guests, or want everything sanitised after illness or building works. We refresh kitchens, bathrooms, living areas and bedrooms so routine cleaning becomes easier to maintain.
Renters
If you’re moving out, a deep clean helps you meet tenancy requirements and reduce the risk of deposit disputes. We can follow inventory checklists and focus on ovens, fridges, skirting boards, tiles and other common inspection points.
Landlords & Letting Agents
We prepare properties between tenancies, ensuring they’re spotless for viewings or new occupants. We know what tenants expect and what managing agents look for, and we can provide invoices and written confirmation of work carried out.
Businesses & Offices
Our commercial deep cleans cover offices, studios, salons and small retail units. We sanitise desks, breakout areas, washrooms and kitchenettes, supporting a healthier workspace and making routine contract cleaning more effective.
Students & HMOs
Shared houses and student lets can deteriorate quickly. We tackle stubborn kitchen grease, bathroom mould, food spills, and built-up dust to bring the property back to a clean, hygienic standard that’s easier for everyone to maintain.

Our Step-by-Step Deep Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone, email or online form with basic details: property size, number of bathrooms, current condition and preferred dates. We then provide a clear, no-obligation estimate based on your information, explaining what’s included and any optional extras that may be relevant.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most homes and smaller offices, we can carry out a virtual survey using photos or video call. For larger or more complex spaces we may recommend a short onsite visit. This helps us confirm timings, access, parking, and any specific concerns (such as heavy limescale or grease), so we bring the right equipment and team size.
3. Preparation & Cleaning Day
On the day, our trained team arrives on time with all products and tools. We walk through the property with you where possible, confirm priorities and then work methodically room by room. Surfaces are dusted first, then washed and sanitised, and floors are cleaned last. Before leaving, we invite you to check the work and we address any minor touch-ups immediately.
Transparent Pricing – How We Charge
Deep cleaning is usually charged by property size and condition, rather than a flat hourly rate. Factors that affect cost include:
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Overall level of build-up (light, moderate, heavy)
- Any add-on services (e.g. oven deep clean, carpet cleaning)
- Access and parking constraints
We’ll always provide a written quotation before you commit, so there are no surprises. If we think extra time or services may be needed once on site, we’ll discuss this with you first rather than simply adding charges.
Why Choose Professional Deep Cleaning Over DIY?
While it’s possible to tackle a deep clean yourself, many people underestimate the time, effort and materials required. Our professional cleaners bring commercial-grade products, specialist tools and a structured system, which allows us to achieve a higher standard in less time.
We know which chemicals to use on which surfaces to avoid damage, how to deal with limescale and mould safely, and how to minimise disruption to your routine. For landlords and businesses, using a professional service also provides proof of work and supports compliance with hygiene and health and safety expectations.
Insurance & Professional Standards
Cleaning House operates with full public liability cover for your protection. Our vehicles and equipment are covered by appropriate goods in transit insurance, and every member of our cleaning team is trained in safe working practices, correct product use and property care.
Our trained cleaners follow checklists, wear uniforms and use protective shoe covers where appropriate. We respect your belongings, and in the rare event that something goes wrong, our fully insured status means issues can be resolved properly, not left to chance.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every property as if it were our own. Delicate surfaces are tested in a discreet area first, and we avoid harsh abrasives on vulnerable materials such as natural stone, varnished wood or soft plastics. Where practical, we use low-odour and environmentally considerate products, particularly in homes with children, pets or allergies.
We minimise waste by using refillable containers and durable microfibre cloths, and we separate recyclable packaging where facilities allow. If you have particular concerns – such as asthma, pets or sensitivity to fragrances – just let us know and we’ll adapt our approach.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a deep clean in London cost?
Pricing depends on the size and condition of the property, along with any extras you choose. As a guide, smaller flats with light to moderate build-up will cost less than larger homes with multiple bathrooms and heavy limescale or grease. Once we know the number of rooms, bathrooms and overall condition, we provide a clear, itemised quote. There are no hidden fees, and we explain exactly what’s included so you can compare like-for-like with other quotes.
Can you offer same-day or urgent deep cleaning?
Where our schedule allows, we can often arrange short-notice or next-day deep cleans, particularly on weekdays. Same-day slots are sometimes available, usually for smaller properties or partial cleans, but they are not guaranteed. If you need urgent help, contact us as early in the day as possible with your location, property size and preferred timeframe. We’ll check team availability, travel times and access, then confirm what we can realistically achieve within your deadline.
Are you insured if something is damaged during cleaning?
Yes. Cleaning House is fully insured with comprehensive public liability cover, and our equipment and materials are protected by appropriate goods in transit insurance. Our teams are trained to work carefully, but in the rare event that accidental damage occurs, we have proper procedures for reporting, assessing and resolving it. We’ll always discuss any pre-existing issues before cleaning and may advise against treating fragile or heavily worn items where the risk of damage is high.
What’s included in your deep cleaning service as standard?
Our standard deep clean covers all key living areas, bathrooms, toilets, kitchen surfaces and common spaces. This includes thorough dusting, wiping skirting boards and doors, cleaning light switches and handles, descaling bathroom fixtures, degreasing kitchen surfaces and appliances exteriors, and vacuuming and mopping floors. Light oven and microwave interior cleaning is typically included. Carpet shampooing, upholstery cleaning, external windows and extreme or hazardous cleaning are not included as standard but can usually be added by arrangement.
How far in advance should I book a deep clean?
For the best choice of dates and times, we recommend booking one to two weeks in advance, particularly if you need a specific day or have a large property. End-of-tenancy and pre-move cleans are especially busy around month-end and weekends. That said, we always try to accommodate shorter notice where possible. If your plans are flexible, let us know and we can often suggest a slot that fits our route planning and helps keep costs sensible.
