How Our Domestic Cleaning Process Works
1. Enquiry & quote
You can contact Richmond Cleaners by phone, email or our online form. We’ll ask a few questions about your property, the number of rooms, type of flooring, and what you want us to focus on. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quotation outlining the estimated time, rate and frequency.
2. Survey (virtual or onsite)
For larger homes or more complex jobs, we may suggest a short onsite or virtual survey via video call. This helps us understand access, parking, pet arrangements, and any delicate items. It also allows you to show us priority areas so we can give a more accurate recommendation and allocate the right number of cleaners.
3. Preparation
Once you’re happy to go ahead, we agree a start date and time. Before the first visit, we’ll confirm key details such as:
- How we access the property (you home, key safe or concierge)
- Alarm and security procedures
- Preferred cleaning products (for allergies or sustainability)
- Specific rooms or items to avoid
On the day, our professional team arrives on time, in uniform, with all necessary equipment, and follows the agreed plan.
Transparent Pricing for Domestic Cleaning in Richmond
We believe in clear, straightforward pricing. Our domestic cleaning is usually charged at an hourly rate, with a minimum booking length depending on the size of the property. The rate reflects:
- Number of cleaners required
- Frequency (weekly, fortnightly, monthly or one-off)
- Level of cleaning needed (maintenance vs deep clean)
- Any specialist products or equipment requested
Before you book, you’ll receive a written summary of the estimated time and cost. If, on the first visit, we find that significantly more or less time is required on an ongoing basis, we’ll discuss this with you and agree any adjustments up front.
Why Choose Professional Domestic Cleaners Instead of DIY?
Many of our clients could technically do the cleaning themselves, but choose Richmond Cleaners because:
- Our trained cleaners know the right products and methods for different surfaces, helping prevent damage.
- We follow a systematic checklist to ensure nothing is missed.
- We bring professional-grade equipment for a more efficient, thorough clean.
- Having a set schedule keeps your home consistently clean, rather than “when there’s time”.
- You recover valuable free time and reduce stress, while still coming home to a tidy, hygienic property.
Insurance, Training and Professional Standards
Inviting someone into your home requires trust. Richmond Cleaners operates with robust protections and standards:
- Fully insured for public liability, protecting you in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury.
- Comprehensive goods in transit insurance where we move or transport your cleaning equipment between properties.
- Trained teams who receive ongoing instruction in safe product use, manual handling and care of different surfaces.
- Reference and right-to-work checks for all staff.
- Clear complaints and follow-up procedures if you’re ever not satisfied.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every home as if it were our own. That means:
- Using colour-coded cloths and mops to avoid cross-contamination between bathrooms, kitchens and living areas.
- Protecting delicate items and finishes by testing products in inconspicuous areas first.
- Respecting your privacy and instructions about rooms, cupboards or items that should not be touched.
- Offering eco-friendlier cleaning options on request, including low-fragrance and plant-based products.
- Reducing waste by using refillable bottles and concentrated solutions where practical.
Our aim is to keep your home clean and healthy while minimising our impact on the environment and on your belongings.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does domestic cleaning in Richmond cost?
Domestic cleaning is usually priced per hour, with rates depending on the size of your home, the level of cleaning required, and how often we visit. Weekly or fortnightly clients generally benefit from a more predictable schedule and efficient cleaning times. After discussing your property and needs, we provide a clear estimate of hours and cost before you commit. There are no hidden charges for products or equipment unless you request specialist services, which we will always confirm in advance.
Can you provide same-day or urgent cleaning?
Where possible, we do accommodate same-day or short-notice domestic cleaning in Richmond, particularly for one-off or emergency situations such as guests arriving or a last-minute inspection. Availability depends on our existing schedule and the size of the job. If you need urgent cleaning, contact us by phone so we can check the diary immediately and advise what is realistic. For regular cleaning, we recommend booking in advance so you secure a slot on your preferred day and time.
Are your cleaners insured while working in my home?
Yes. Richmond Cleaners is fully insured for public liability, and we hold appropriate goods in transit insurance for equipment and items we may move as part of our work. This provides protection in the unlikely event of accidental damage or injury during a clean. Our staff are also trained in safe working practices to minimise risk. We are happy to share proof of cover on request, and our terms of service explain clearly what is and is not covered so you have complete peace of mind.
What is included in a standard domestic cleaning visit?
A standard visit focuses on the regular tasks that keep your home clean and comfortable: vacuuming, mopping hard floors, dusting, cleaning bathrooms and toilets, and wiping kitchen surfaces and appliances externally. We also empty bins and carry out light tidying within reason. During your initial enquiry, we will note any particular priorities, such as extra attention to bathrooms, pet areas or children’s rooms, and build those into your routine. Anything outside the standard scope, such as deep oven cleaning, can often be added by arrangement.
How far in advance should I book domestic cleaning?
For regular weekly or fortnightly cleaning, it’s best to book at least one to two weeks in advance, especially if you have specific days or times in mind. This allows us to match you with a regular cleaner and keep your preferred slot reserved. One-off and deep cleans also benefit from early booking, but we can sometimes offer short-notice appointments if our schedule allows. During particularly busy periods, such as before holidays or at the end of university terms, we recommend booking as early as you can.
Do I need to be home while you clean?
No, you don’t have to be at home during the clean if you prefer not to be. Many clients provide a key, use a key safe, or arrange access via a concierge. We have clear procedures for key holding and property security, and we never label keys with full addresses. If you are at home, that’s also fine – our team will work around you as considerately as possible. We’ll agree the access arrangements during booking so everything runs smoothly on the day.
