What Is Not Included as Standard
To keep our pricing clear, some tasks are excluded from a standard house clean but can often be added or quoted separately:

If you are unsure whether something is included, just ask when you enquire. We will explain clearly what can be achieved within your booked time and what may require a specialist visit.
Our Step-by-Step House Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
Everything starts with a straightforward conversation. Contact us by phone, email or our online form and tell us about your property in Chelsea and the level of cleaning you need. We will ask a few simple questions about size, number of rooms, current condition and any specific concerns. Based on this, we provide a transparent, no-obligation quote and recommend the appropriate length and frequency of visits.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For larger homes, deep cleans or end of tenancy work, we may suggest a short virtual survey using photos or video, or an onsite visit if more suitable. This lets us see the true condition, identify any delicate surfaces or items needing special care, and agree priorities with you. The aim is to avoid surprises on the day and ensure the correct number of cleaners, equipment and products are booked.
3. Preparation Before the Clean
Ahead of your appointment, we confirm the date, time and access arrangements. We recommend you:
- Put away valuables and confidential paperwork.
- Clear floors and surfaces where possible so we can clean more thoroughly.
- Advise us of any allergies or product preferences.
Our trained cleaners arrive on time, in uniform, with professional products and equipment unless you prefer we use your own. We then work methodically through each room according to the agreed checklist and priorities.
Clear & Transparent Pricing
Our house cleaning prices in Chelsea are based on three main factors: property size, current condition and the frequency of visits. Regular weekly or fortnightly clients benefit from a lower rate per visit than one-off cleans, as we can maintain the property more efficiently.
We provide a clear hourly rate or fixed price before any work is booked, and we outline exactly what is included for that price. There are no hidden extras for standard cleaning tasks; any optional additional services, such as carpet cleaning or oven cleaning, are quoted separately so you can make an informed choice.
Payment can usually be made by bank transfer, card or cash, depending on your preference and the arrangement you choose for regular visits.
Why Choose Professional House Cleaning Instead of DIY
Many clients in Chelsea are perfectly capable of cleaning their homes, but they choose to bring in professional cleaners for a number of reasons:
- Time: busy work, family and social commitments leave little spare time for deep, detailed cleaning.
- Consistency: a schedule with trained cleaners ensures your home is maintained to a steady standard.
- Expertise: knowing which products to use on which surfaces avoids accidental damage to floors, worktops and fixtures.
- Equipment: we use quality commercial-grade tools and solutions that produce more effective results than most household products.
- Motivation: it is often easier to keep tidy and maintain order when you know a cleaner is attending regularly.
In short, professional cleaning helps protect your property, extends the life of furnishings and creates a healthier environment with far less effort from you.
Insurance & Professional Standards
As an established Chelsea cleaning company, we take responsibility and protection seriously. Our teams are:
- Fully insured with comprehensive public liability cover, giving peace of mind in the unlikely event of accidental damage.
- Covered by appropriate goods in transit insurance when we transport specialist equipment and cleaning materials to and from your property.
- Uniformed and trained in safe use of chemicals, colour-coding of cloths and mops, and secure key holding where required.
- Reference-checked and supervised, with quality checks carried out periodically on ongoing contracts.
We follow clear procedures for incident reporting and resolution, and we encourage clients to raise any concerns promptly so they can be addressed to your satisfaction.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
Respect for your home and the environment sits at the heart of how we work in Chelsea properties. Our cleaners take sensible steps to protect floors, worktops and furnishings by using appropriate products and clean cloths, avoiding harsh abrasives on delicate surfaces and treating all belongings with care.
Where possible, we choose low-VOC, environmentally considerate cleaning products that still deliver strong hygiene performance. We use microfibre systems to reduce chemical usage and we encourage sensible waste separation and recycling. If you prefer specific eco-brands, we are happy to use products you provide or to recommend suitable alternatives.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does house cleaning in Chelsea typically cost?
Pricing depends on the size of your property, how often we visit and the current level of cleaning required. Smaller flats with regular weekly visits are at the lower end of our hourly rate, while larger houses or one-off deep cleans require more time and a slightly higher total cost. After a short discussion, we will give you a clear, tailored quote before you commit. There are no hidden charges, and any optional extras such as carpet or oven cleaning are itemised separately so you can decide what suits your budget.
Can you provide same-day or urgent house cleaning?
We do our best to accommodate urgent or last-minute cleaning requests in Chelsea, especially for move-outs, surprise inspections or unexpected guests. Same-day availability depends on our existing schedule and team capacity, but we will always be honest about what we can realistically complete in the time available. If we cannot offer a full clean at short notice, we may suggest a focused service targeting kitchens, bathrooms and main living areas first, with a follow-up visit for more detailed work where needed.
Are your cleaners insured while working in my home?
Yes. Chelsea Carpet Cleaners operates with full public liability insurance for work carried out in your home, as well as goods in transit insurance for our equipment. Our cover is designed to protect both you and our team in the unlikely event of accidental damage or an incident on site. Cleaners are also trained to follow safe working practices, and we keep a log of keys and access codes where we hold them for regular clients. Details of our current insurance arrangements can be shared on request.
What exactly is included in a standard house cleaning visit?
A standard visit focuses on maintaining a consistently clean and hygienic home. We dust and wipe accessible surfaces, vacuum carpets and rugs, mop hard floors, clean sinks, hobs, toilets, baths and showers, polish mirrors, empty bins and generally tidy visible areas. We work to an agreed checklist tailored to your property and priorities, so you know what will be done each time. Tasks such as internal oven cleaning, inside kitchen cupboards or carpet steam cleaning are not part of a normal visit but can often be added or booked as separate services.
How far in advance should I book a house clean?
For regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning in Chelsea, it is best to book at least one to two weeks in advance so we can reserve a consistent day and time for you. For one-off or deep cleans, more notice is helpful, especially during busy periods such as end of the month or just before holidays. That said, we always keep some flexibility for urgent or short-notice jobs. The sooner you contact us with your preferred dates, the more choice we will have in matching a slot and a suitable team to your requirements.
Do I need to be at home while you clean?
You are welcome to stay at home if you prefer, but many clients in Chelsea choose to give us key access or arrange entry with a concierge or neighbour. We operate a secure key-holding system and record all keys issued to our professional cleaners. Before starting any regular service, we agree clear instructions for alarms, pets and access so you feel comfortable whether you are present or not. After the clean, we lock up as instructed and leave your property tidy, with any notes or feedback shared by phone or email if required.
