What Is Excluded from Standard House Cleaning?
For clarity and safety, some tasks are not included in a standard house cleaning visit:
- Exterior window cleaning above ground-floor level
- Moving heavy furniture or appliances (fridges, washing machines etc.)
- Cleaning at height that requires ladders or specialist access
- Carpet steam cleaning or upholstery shampooing
- Deep oven cleaning (inside the oven and dismantling parts)

Many of these can be arranged as additional specialist services. During your enquiry, we will confirm exactly what is and is not included so there are no surprises.
Our Step-by-Step House Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & quote
You can contact Cleaners Highbury by phone, email or our online form. We will ask a few straightforward questions about your property size, number of rooms, current condition and any priorities you may have. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation with our hourly rate or fixed price, depending on the service type.
2. Survey (virtual or onsite)
For most regular house cleaning, a brief virtual survey via phone or video call is sufficient. For larger homes, deep cleans or more complex requirements, we may recommend an onsite visit. This allows us to assess access, parking, surfaces and any delicate items. The aim is to provide a realistic time estimate so that your clean is finished to a high standard within the agreed schedule.
3. Preparation
Once you approve the quote, we agree a start date and cleaning plan. We confirm who will attend, what they will bring and how they will access the property. On the day, our trained cleaners arrive on time with suitable products and equipment, carry out the work as agreed, and check each area before leaving. For regular visits, we review the plan periodically and adjust if your needs change.
Transparent Pricing for House Cleaning in Highbury
We keep our pricing simple and transparent. For most households we charge an hourly rate, with a minimum booking length. The total cost depends on:
- Property size and number of bathrooms
- Frequency of visits (weekly, fortnightly, monthly or one-off)
- Current condition (standard upkeep vs. heavy build-up)
- Any additional tasks such as inside fridge or inside cupboards
Before any work begins, you will receive a clear written quote. There are no hidden fees for basic materials or congestion charges; any additional costs, such as parking, are discussed upfront. Regular clients often benefit from more favourable rates compared with one-off cleans.
Why Professional House Cleaning Beats DIY
Cleaning your own home is perfectly possible, but there are advantages to using a professional team:
- We bring experience in tackling built-up grease, limescale and stains efficiently.
- Trained cleaners follow structured checklists, so key areas are not missed.
- Professional products and equipment often produce better, longer-lasting results.
- You reclaim your own time for work, family and rest, without chores hanging over you.
- Regular, consistent cleaning helps protect surfaces and finishes from long-term damage.
Our role is to take the pressure off, while you retain full control over how, when and where we clean.
Insurance, Training and Professional Standards
Your home is one of your most valuable assets, and we treat it with care. Cleaners Highbury operates with comprehensive public liability cover to protect you in the unlikely event of accidental damage. Where we transport cleaning equipment or items, we carry appropriate goods in transit insurance. Our teams are carefully vetted, reference-checked and trained in safe product use, colour-coding, and working respectfully in occupied homes.
We follow health and safety best practice, including safe handling of chemicals, appropriate PPE where needed, and careful attention to ventilation. If you have children, pets or specific sensitivities, we can adapt our products and methods accordingly.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to balance effective cleaning with care for your home and the environment. Our cleaners:
- Use microfibre cloths and mops to reduce the need for harsh chemicals
- Select reputable products, and can offer eco-friendlier options on request
- Respect delicate surfaces such as natural stone, solid wood and speciality finishes
- Use colour-coded cloths to prevent cross-contamination between bathrooms and kitchens
- Minimise waste by using concentrated solutions and reusable equipment
Protecting your belongings is central to our work. We take extra care around electronics, ornaments and sentimental items, and we are happy to follow any specific instructions you provide.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does house cleaning in Highbury cost?
Our pricing is usually based on an hourly rate, with a minimum booking time to ensure we can work thoroughly. The final cost depends on the size of your property, the number of bathrooms, the current condition and how often you would like us to visit. One-off and deep cleans are generally priced slightly higher than regular maintenance visits because they are more intensive. We provide a clear estimate before you commit, so you know exactly what to expect and can choose the level of service that suits your budget.
Can you provide same-day or urgent house cleaning?
We do our best to accommodate same-day or short-notice bookings in Highbury, especially for urgent situations such as unexpected visitors, post-event clean-ups or move-out deadlines. Availability depends on our existing schedule and the size of your property, so it is always worth calling to check. If we can fit you in, we will give a realistic estimate of how much can be achieved in the time available and agree clear priorities with you before we start cleaning.
Are your cleaners insured while working in my home?
Yes. Cleaners Highbury operates with full public liability cover to protect you if accidental damage or injury occurs during our work. Where equipment or items are transported, appropriate goods in transit insurance is in place. Our staff are vetted and professional, and they follow clear procedures to minimise risk, such as safe chemical handling and careful use of equipment. We are happy to confirm our insurance details on request, and you are welcome to raise any concerns about particular items before we begin.
What exactly is included in a standard house clean?
A standard house clean focuses on regular maintenance tasks: dusting, vacuuming, mopping, cleaning bathrooms and toilets, wiping kitchen surfaces and appliance exteriors, and emptying bins. We work through agreed rooms using structured checklists so key areas are covered each visit. Tasks such as inside ovens, inside fridges, interior windows at height, and carpet shampooing are not part of a basic clean but can often be added as extras. During your enquiry, we will confirm precisely what is included for the time booked and adapt to your priorities where possible.
How far in advance should I book a house cleaning visit?
For regular weekly or fortnightly cleans, we recommend booking at least one to two weeks in advance to secure your preferred day and time. For one-off or deep cleans, particularly during busy periods such as spring or around moves, a little more notice helps us allocate sufficient staff. That said, we always try to accommodate last-minute requests in Highbury if our schedule allows. Once you are a regular client, we can usually adjust timings or add extra visits with reasonable notice.
