How Much Does a Cleaner Cost in London? Prices for Standard, Deep, and End of Tenancy Cleaning

If you are searching for a cleaner in London, the first question is usually the same: how much does it cost? Prices vary depending on the type of clean, the size of your home, and which part of London you live in. Here is a clear, honest breakdown of what you can expect to pay in 2026.

Standard Cleaning Prices London

A standard clean covers the essentials: hoovering, mopping, dusting, kitchen surfaces, and your bathroom. Most London cleaning services charge between £30 and £35 per hour. At Book the Cleaner, a standard clean costs £60 for two hours — enough time for a thorough clean of a one or two-bedroom flat.

If your home is larger, expect the clean to take longer. A three-bedroom house might need three hours, which would be £90 at our standard rate. Weekly or fortnightly bookings often work out cheaper per visit than one-off cleans.

Deep Cleaning Prices London

A deep clean goes much further than a standard clean. The cleaner will get inside the oven, scrub cupboards inside and out, move furniture to clean behind it, and tackle skirting boards, light switches, and every corner. This is the service you book for a spring refresh, after building work, or before moving in.

Deep cleans in London typically cost £120 for four hours. Some London postcodes (Zone 1 areas like Mayfair or Knightsbridge) may be slightly higher due to travel and demand, but most central and north London postcodes fall within the standard deep clean price.

End of Tenancy Cleaning London

End of tenancy cleaning is the most thorough and expensive service — and for good reason. Your landlord or letting agent will inspect every surface. Missing a spot could mean losing part of your deposit. A proper end of tenancy clean covers every room, inside every cupboard, behind every appliance, and often includes carpet cleaning.

At Book the Cleaner, end of tenancy cleaning costs £180 for six hours. That is enough time for two cleaners or one very experienced cleaner to work through a two-bedroom flat or small house thoroughly.

Move-in / Move-out Cleaning Prices

Somewhere between a deep clean and an end of tenancy clean, a move-in or move-out service focuses on making a property spotless for new occupants. Our move-in / move-out cleaning costs £150 for five hours. All products and equipment are included — you just need to be there to let the cleaner in.

Add-on Costs

Most cleaning services offer extras you can add to any booking. At Book the Cleaner, these cost between £12 and £20 each:

• Ironing: £15
• Inside oven: £20
• Inside fridge: £15
• Inside windows: £15
• Laundry: £12

You can add any combination to your booking. Your cleaner handles everything in the same visit.

Factors That Affect London Cleaning Prices

• Property size: More bedrooms = more time = higher cost
• Frequency: Weekly bookings usually get a better rate than one-off cleans
• Condition: A property that has not been cleaned in months will take longer
• Location: Central London postcodes may include travel time in the price
• Extras: Oven cleaning, fridge cleaning, and windows each add to the total

Is It Cheaper to Book a Cleaner Directly?

Some London cleaners advertise lower hourly rates when you book them directly, but you take on the risk: no insurance, no DBS check, no guarantee. At Book the Cleaner, every cleaner is vetted, insured, and DBS-checked. If you are not happy with the clean, we return and fix it at no extra cost. The price includes peace of mind.
