What Is Not Included as Standard

To keep our pricing fair and transparent, some tasks are not included in a standard domestic clean but can often be added on request at an additional cost:

• External window cleaning or work at height
• Professional carpet or upholstery shampooing
• Cleaning of areas requiring ladders or unsafe access
• Heavy stain removal, mould remediation or biohazard cleaning
• Deep oven cleaning (racks, internal panels and liners)
• Decluttering, rubbish removal or disposal of bulky items

We also do not move heavy furniture or handle valuable collections without prior agreement. If you are unsure whether something is covered, we are happy to clarify before the clean.

Our Simple Domestic Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact Merton Cleaner by phone, email or through our website with basic details of your property and what you need. We’ll ask about the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, the current condition of the property and how often you’d like us to visit. Based on this information, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote and suggest the most suitable service, whether that’s a regular clean or a one-off deep clean.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For most standard domestic cleaning in Merton, a brief virtual survey using photos or video is enough. For larger properties or specialist cleans (such as post-renovation work), we may recommend an onsite visit. This allows us to assess access, parking, specific materials and any delicate items that may need extra care. The survey ensures our quote is accurate and our cleaners arrive fully prepared with the right products and equipment.

3. Preparation & Cleaning Day

Once you’re happy with the quote and schedule, we confirm your booking in writing. On the day, our professional cleaners arrive on time, in uniform, with all necessary materials unless you prefer we use your own. We follow the agreed checklist, prioritising kitchens and bathrooms, and working systematically through the home. At the end, we invite you to walk through the property (if you’re present) so any adjustments can be made there and then.

Transparent Pricing for Domestic Cleaning in Merton

We charge domestic cleaning on a clear hourly or fixed-rate basis depending on the type of service:

• Regular weekly or fortnightly cleans – typically priced per hour with a minimum visit length.
• One-off or deep cleans – usually a fixed price based on size and condition of the property.
• Specialist services – such as end of tenancy or after builders cleans, priced following survey.

All quotes include labour, standard cleaning products and equipment unless otherwise agreed. There are no hidden call-out charges. Any optional extras are discussed and priced in advance so you always know where you stand.

Why Choose Professional Domestic Cleaning Over DIY?

Many clients in Merton are perfectly capable of cleaning themselves, but choose a professional service for the consistency, time savings and attention to detail it brings. Our cleaners are trained in efficient techniques, correct product use and safe handling of different surfaces, reducing the risk of damage to worktops, flooring and fixtures.

Professional cleaning also helps maintain hygiene levels, particularly important for families with children, pets or allergies. Because we work to a structured checklist, essential tasks aren’t overlooked when life gets busy. Ultimately, outsourcing your cleaning frees your time for work, family and rest, while we take care of the routine and more intensive tasks.

Insurance, Training and Professional Standards

Merton Cleaner operates with full public liability cover, giving you peace of mind if anything goes wrong on-site. For jobs involving transport of equipment or items between locations, we also maintain appropriate goods in transit insurance. Our teams are directly managed, and we invest in ongoing training on products, surfaces, health and safety and confidentiality in clients’ homes.

Every cleaner is reference-checked and inducted into our working standards before entering a client property. We treat your home with the same respect and care we would demand in our own, locking up securely and following any entry instructions you provide.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We take care to protect your belongings and the environment as we work. Where suitable, we use eco-conscious products that are effective yet gentle on surfaces and better for indoor air quality. Extra care is taken around delicate finishes, natural stone, high-gloss units and specialist flooring, and we avoid harsh abrasives unless explicitly agreed.

We minimise waste by using reusable cloths and mop heads, and we separate recyclable materials where practical. If you have particular preferences – such as fragrance-free or pet-safe products – just let us know and we will factor this into your cleaning plan.

Local Expertise in Merton

Being based in Merton means we understand local housing and typical cleaning needs – from compact apartments near transport links to larger family homes and HMOs. We are used to working around busy schedules, school runs and hybrid working patterns, and can often accommodate key collection or access via concierge.

Because our teams work locally, travel times are reduced and we can respond more quickly to urgent requests where availability allows. Many of our clients come to us by word of mouth and stay with us for years, which we see as the best endorsement of our service.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does domestic cleaning in Merton cost?

Pricing depends mainly on the size of your property, its current condition and how often you would like us to visit. Regular weekly or fortnightly domestic cleans are usually charged at an hourly rate with a minimum visit length so we can complete a proper clean. One-off deep cleans, end of tenancy and after builders work are typically priced as a fixed job based on a short survey. We always provide a clear, written quotation before you commit, with any optional extras listed separately.

Can you provide same-day or urgent domestic cleaning?

Same-day or next-day cleaning in Merton may be possible, particularly outside peak times or if we have a local team finishing nearby. Urgent availability is not guaranteed, but if you call or email with details of your property and timing, we will check our schedules immediately. Where we cannot meet your preferred time, we will offer the closest alternative. For guaranteed dates and times, especially for deep cleans or end of tenancy work, booking in advance is always recommended.

Are your domestic cleaners insured?

Yes. Merton Cleaner operates with comprehensive public liability cover to protect against accidental damage or injury while we are working in your home. For jobs involving transport of equipment or items, we also maintain goods in transit insurance. Our cleaners are professional, reference-checked and trained in safe working practices to minimise the risk of any incidents. Full details of our insurance cover can be provided on request, and we are happy to answer any specific questions you may have about how this applies in your property.

What exactly is included in a domestic cleaning visit?

A standard domestic clean focuses on maintaining general cleanliness and hygiene in your home. This usually includes dusting, vacuuming, mopping, cleaning kitchen surfaces and appliance exteriors, bathroom cleaning, wiping commonly touched areas and emptying bins. Before we start, we agree a checklist with you so your priorities are covered, whether that is focusing more on bathrooms, the kitchen or high-traffic areas. Deep cleaning tasks like internal oven cleaning, carpet shampooing or external windows are not included as standard, but can often be added as extras.

How far in advance should I book?

For regular weekly or fortnightly domestic cleaning, we suggest booking at least one to two weeks in advance so we can offer you your preferred day and time. For one-off deep cleans or end of tenancy work, more notice is helpful, especially at busy times of year such as month-end or around holidays. That said, if you do need something at short notice, it is still worth contacting us, as we sometimes have gaps due to schedule changes. Once your slot is confirmed, it is reserved for you on an ongoing basis.
