Professional cleaner has a bucket filled with cleaning products.

How much is a housekeeper in the UK ?

Good housekeeping is an important part of any home, and hiring a housekeeper can be expensive. Depending on the size of your property, the frequency of services, and the level of cleaning experience required, the cost can vary greatly.

How much is a housekeeper per hour ?

Generally speaking, professional cleaners' prices start at £25 per hour for standard housekeeping duties or up to £50 per hour for more specialized tasks such as deep disinfecting or specialist stain removal.

Factors that can affect the cost of housekeeping services

  • Size and condition of your home - larger homes will take longer to clean and require more time
  • Number of occupants - the number of people residing in a home will determine the amount of mess
  • Frequency of cleaning - the more often a housekeeper has to visit, the less expensive the rate
  • Types of services - extra services such as ironing or pet care may incur additional charges
  • Location – as with any service, prices may be higher in more affluent areas
  • Experience of the housekeeper – when it comes to hiring a housekeeper, the experience of the individual can make a difference in price. Housekeepers with more experience or expertise may command higher rates.

The right choice for you will depend on several factors, including your budget, the level of services needed, and any special requirements that need to be met.

Ultimately, you should choose someone who meets your expectations and budget in order to provide the best possible cleaning.

A good housekeeper can be worth the money in terms of time savings and peace of mind, so take the time to find one that meets your needs. By researching prices carefully and speaking to local companies, you should be able to find a reliable and affordable service provider who will help keep your home clean and tidy.

What exactly does a cleaner do? 

Once you have found a suitable housekeeper, there are a few things to consider before hiring them.

It's important to discuss in advance exactly what services they will provide, such as:

Speak to firms in your local area with good reviews online and discuss any offers they may have that fit into your budget.

You should also consider things like whether it's better to pay for a one-off visit or regular visits, as well as any special cleaning services you may require.

If you are looking for a convenient one-off cleaning in London, for example, we also recommend getting in touch with a professional cleaning company. Companies often have better prices, and they work with experienced and professional domestic cleaners. Keep in mind that prices will vary depending on the size of your property, as well as the level of cleaning required.

What is the average cost of deep cleaning a house?

When your home needs a thorough clean, you can count on needing extra help from your house cleaner. Subsequently, the cost may be up to twice as much compared to their regular cleaning prices. It may cost you at least £100 for a 4-hour deep clean, for example.

As a matter of fact, there are different kinds of cleaning services. Each method and type of cleaning has its own set of advantages, and based on your requirements, one of these may be ideal for you.

How much is a full-time housekeeper ?

Generally speaking, a full-time housekeeper's salary outside London can cost between £150 and £275 per week, depending on the level of experience required and the type of duties to be performed.

It is also critical to agree in advance on the housekeeper's working hours, whether you require them to live in or out, and any additional benefits you are willing to provide. Before making the commitment to hire a full-time housekeeper, it is important that you consider all the costs involved and if the additional expense will be worth it in terms of time saved.

Ultimately, a good full-time housekeeper can be worth the money in terms of time saved and peace of mind, so it is important to shop around and find a reliable service provider who meets your specific requirements and is well within your budget.

How often should a cleaning lady come?

For a spotless home, domestic crews may make weekly, biweekly, or monthly visits. The most common choice is biweekly.

Ultimately, it depends on your living space and personal requirements. If you live in a flat with only one bedroom, biweekly cleanings may be too much or too expensive.

It's important to discuss with potential cleaning services the type of services you require and make sure that you are both clear on your expectations before agreeing on any schedule.

Additional services such as ironing or pet care may incur additional charges, so it is wise to check all prices in advance.

Regardless of your cleaning schedule, you should make sure to find a reliable and trustworthy house cleaner who can provide quality service. Ask around for trusted recommendations, and always check references before hiring someone.

Rebeca's cleaned our office space a few times now, and each time she's done a fantastic job - she's very professional and goes the extra mile. Couldn't recommend Rebeca more and really glad we've found a cleaner as reliable and thorough as her. Thank you Rebeca!
