We also offer more detailed options such as one‑off deep cleaning, end of tenancy cleaning and carpet and upholstery cleaning, which can be added to your domestic clean as required.

What Is Not Included as Standard

To keep our service safe and efficient, some tasks are excluded from a standard domestic clean:

• External window cleaning requiring ladders or specialist access
• Cleaning of areas above safe reach without suitable equipment
• Removal of heavy or fixed furniture and appliances
• Professional oven cleaning (available as an additional service)
• Garden work, rubbish removal or building waste clearance

If you are unsure whether something is covered, we are happy to advise and, where appropriate, provide a separate quote.

Our Step‑by‑Step Domestic Cleaning Process

1. Enquiry & Quote

Contact us by phone, email or our online form with basic details: property size, number of bathrooms, any specific concerns and how often you would like cleaning. We provide a clear, no‑obligation quote based on the information you give us. For more complex jobs or larger properties, we may suggest a short video call or visit before confirming the price.

2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite

For regular domestic cleaning, a quick virtual survey is often enough. You can walk us through your home on a video call, highlighting any delicate items, restricted rooms or priority areas. For larger homes, specialist surfaces or combined services (for example, general cleaning plus carpets), we can arrange an onsite survey in Richmond at a convenient time.

3. Preparation & First Clean

We agree the cleaning schedule, access arrangements and key‑holding if required. On the day, our trained, uniformed cleaners arrive with the necessary products and equipment unless you prefer us to use your own. The first visit is usually a slightly longer clean to bring everything up to a good standard; after that, we work to an agreed routine, adjusting as your needs change.

Transparent Pricing for Domestic Cleaning

We base our pricing on three main factors: property size, cleaning frequency and any additional services required. Smaller flats with regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning cost less per visit, while larger houses or one‑off deep cleans are priced accordingly.

Before starting, we confirm:

• Hourly rate or fixed price per visit
• What is included in each clean
• Any optional extras, such as oven or fridge cleaning

There are no hidden charges: parking or congestion costs are discussed upfront where applicable. Regular clients in Richmond often benefit from more favourable rates than one‑off bookings.

Why Choose Professional Domestic Cleaning Over DIY?

Most households can keep on top of basic tidying, but a professional domestic clean offers several advantages:

• Consistency: Scheduled visits mean tasks are completed thoroughly, not just when you have time.
• Expertise: Experienced cleaners know which products and methods are safe for different surfaces and fabrics.
• Hygiene: High‑touch areas and problem spots are properly sanitised, reducing allergens and germs.
• Time saving: Free up hours each week for work, family or rest.
• Better results: Professional equipment and techniques usually outperform home tools and products.

For landlords and agents, using a professional service also provides a clear record that cleaning has been carried out to an agreed standard, supporting inventories and deposit discussions.

Local Expertise in Richmond

We have been cleaning homes and carpets in Richmond for many years and understand the mix of properties in the area – from period townhouses and riverside apartments to modern family homes. This local knowledge helps us plan realistic cleaning times, parking, access and any building‑specific requirements.

Being close by also means we can respond quickly to urgent requests, key collections and last‑minute changes, and maintain a consistent team who know your home and preferences.

Insurance & Professional Standards

Your home and belongings are important, and we treat them that way. Richmond Carpet Cleaning is fully committed to safe, responsible working practices:

• Public liability cover for peace of mind while we are working in your property
• Goods in transit insurance when we are transporting equipment or items for off‑site cleaning
• Trained, vetted cleaning teams with hands‑on experience and supervision
• Clear health and safety procedures and risk assessments where needed

We are happy to provide proof of insurance and any relevant documentation on request.

Care, Protection and Sustainability

We clean as if your home were our own. That means protecting surfaces, furniture and finishes while achieving a good standard of cleanliness. We use colour‑coded cloths and mops to avoid cross‑contamination between bathrooms and kitchens, and we take care around delicate items, painted surfaces and natural materials.

Where possible, we choose cleaning solutions that are effective yet environmentally considerate, and we can offer more eco‑friendly product options on request. We also plan our routes around Richmond to reduce unnecessary travel and emissions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does domestic cleaning in Richmond cost?

The cost depends on the size of your property, how often you would like us to visit and whether you add any extras such as oven or carpet cleaning. Smaller flats on a regular weekly or fortnightly schedule are usually at the lower end of our pricing, while larger houses or one‑off deep cleans cost more. After a brief discussion or survey, we give you a clear quote with either an hourly rate or a fixed price per visit so you know exactly what to expect.

Can you offer same‑day or urgent domestic cleaning?

Where our schedule allows, we do our best to accommodate same‑day or short‑notice cleaning in Richmond, particularly for move‑outs, last‑minute inspections or unexpected visitors. Availability will depend on the day and the size of the job, so it is always best to call us as early as possible. If we cannot fit you in on the same day, we will usually be able to offer the next available slot and advise on any quick steps you can take in the meantime.

Are you insured while working in my home?

Yes. We carry public liability cover to protect you in the unlikely event of accidental damage while we are working, and goods in transit insurance for our equipment and any items we may need to move or take away for cleaning. Our cleaners are trained, follow clear procedures and are supervised to minimise risk. We can provide copies of our insurance certificates on request, and we are always happy to talk through how we protect your home and belongings before starting.

What is included in a standard domestic cleaning visit?

A standard visit focuses on keeping your home clean and presentable: dusting, vacuuming, mopping hard floors, cleaning bathrooms and toilets, wiping kitchen worktops and cupboard fronts, cleaning appliance exteriors and emptying bins. We also clean internal glass and mirrors that we can reach safely. Tasks like inside ovens, inside fridges, external windows or moving heavy furniture are not included as standard but can often be added by arrangement. Before we begin, we agree a clear checklist so you know exactly what will be done each time.

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 offer you the day and time that suits you best. One‑off or deep cleans can sometimes be arranged at shorter notice, depending on our schedule and the size of the job. If you have a fixed deadline, such as a move‑out or inspection date, it is always wise to contact us as early as you can so we can secure a suitable slot and plan the work properly.

Do I need to be at home while you clean?

No, you do not have to be present. Many clients in Richmond prefer us to hold a spare key or collect one from a concierge or agent, and we have strict procedures for key security. Others are at home during the first visit and then choose what feels most comfortable. We agree access arrangements in advance, including alarm codes if necessary, and we always ensure your property is locked and secure before leaving. If you work from home, we can also work around your schedule and quiet areas.
