Domestic cleaners in North West London: weekly, fortnightly or one-off

£26/hr weekly · 2 hour minimum · The same cleaner every visit · No contract, no exit fee

A domestic cleaner who is the same named person every visit, directly employed by us and right-to-work verified — weekly, fortnightly or one-off house cleaning across NW1 to NW11. £26 an hour weekly, two-hour minimum. Home cleaning with no contract, no minimum term, and no exit fee — pause or cancel any individual visit with 48 hours’ notice.

What a domestic cleaner costs in NW London

How often	Rate	Typical visit
Weekly	£26/hr	2–3 hours for a one or two bed
Fortnightly	£28/hr	3–4 hours — more has built up
One-off	£30/hr	Priced on the day’s work

Two-hour minimum on every visit. Below two hours nobody can do a room properly, and you would be paying for the travel rather than the cleaning.

Weekly is cheaper per hour than fortnightly for a reason that is not marketing: a home cleaned every week never gets to the state a fortnightly home does, so the same visit covers more ground. Most people who start fortnightly and switch to weekly end up paying less per month than they expected.

The same cleaner, every visit

This is the part that actually matters and the part the big platforms cannot do.

You are assigned a named cleaner, or a pair for larger houses. They are directly employed by us — on our payroll, not an agency’s — and right-to-work verified before their first visit. They learn your home: which surfaces need which product, where things live, which door sticks, that the spare room is not to be touched.

A booking marketplace sends whoever is free. That means re-explaining your home every fortnight, a different stranger with your key each time, and no one who notices that the extractor filter is due. We do not work that way.

Holiday and sickness are our problem, not yours. Cover comes from our own team and is briefed on your home before they arrive.

What a regular visit covers

We agree the priorities with you on the first visit and work to them. A standard two to three hour weekly clean is normally:

Kitchen — worktops, sink and taps, hob and splashback, the front of units, outside of appliances, microwave inside, floor washed
Bathrooms — bath, shower and screen, basin, taps, loo, mirrors, limescale kept down before it takes hold, floor washed
Bedrooms — beds made or changed, surfaces dusted, vacuumed, mirrors
Living areas — dusted including skirtings and sills, cushions straightened, vacuumed, hard floors mopped
Throughout — bins emptied, handles and switches wiped, cobwebs, and a tidy so the place looks finished rather than merely clean

Ironing is not included in the clean. Nor is the inside of the oven, the inside of the windows, the inside of the fridge, or changing the beds. Any of them can be done on a regular visit — but they are done within your booked hours, in place of cleaning, not on top of it. Two hours of ironing is two hours not spent on the house. So tell us what matters most and we will do that first, or book the extra time and we will do both. What we will not do is pretend everything fits into two hours.

What that is a month, not an hour

Every cleaning company in London quotes an hourly rate, which tells you almost nothing about what you are committing to. Here is the figure that matters.

Property	Typical visit	Per visit	Weekly, per month	Fortnightly, per month
Studio	2 hrs	£52	£225	£180
One bedroom	2.5 hrs	£65	£280	£180
Two bedrooms	3 hrs	£78	£340	£210
Three bedrooms	3.5 hrs	£91	£395	£245
Four bedrooms	4.5 hrs	£117	£505	£305

Monthly figures are the real ones — 52 visits a year spread over twelve months, not four visits a month. Weekly is £26 an hour, fortnightly £28 with a three-hour minimum. Ten per cent off the first clean. These are the same figures the calculator uses; there is no separate quote.

The first visit is longer, and we say so before you book

However well a home is kept, the first regular visit meets a backlog: limescale that has had months, the tops of the kitchen units, the inside of the window reveals, the skirtings behind furniture. A two-hour slot spent on that is a two-hour slot not spent on the kitchen and the bathroom.

So we book the first visit longer — usually an extra hour or two — and tell you the figure in advance. After that the standing slot settles at the normal length, because a home cleaned every week never gets back to the state it was in. The alternative, which most firms take, is to send someone for two hours, have them do what they can, and let you conclude the cleaner is slow.

What happens every visit, and what happens on a cycle

This is the part nobody writes down, and it is the difference between a home that stays level and one that quietly declines while being cleaned every week.

Every visit: kitchen worktops, sink, taps, hob and splashback, the fronts of units, outside of appliances, inside the microwave; bathrooms throughout with limescale kept down before it takes hold; beds made or changed; dusting including skirtings and sills; vacuuming and hard floors washed; bins emptied; handles, switches and touch points; and a tidy, so the place looks finished rather than merely clean.

On a monthly rotation, a few each visit rather than all at once: tops of doors, picture rails and cornices; the tops of wardrobes and kitchen units; inside the window reveals; skirtings behind furniture; light fittings; the inside of the fridge; and descaling the shower head properly, which means taking it off and soaking it rather than wiping it.

Two or three times a year, told to you when each is due rather than appearing on an invoice: the oven and the inside of the windows. None of these is urgent and all of them are what makes a house feel tired. We keep the list on your job notes and remind you; you decide.

Who your domestic cleaner is

You are handing a key to a stranger every week. It is the only question that really matters and most cleaning companies answer it with an adjective.

Directly employed by Camyabco Ltd on PAYE — not subcontracted, not a self-employed cash arrangement, not an agency pool. Holiday pay, a pension, and an employer standing behind the work.
DBS checked and right-to-work verified before their first shift.
Signs an NDA as standard — not on request.
£5,000,000 public liability and employers’ liability, and the certificate goes out with a quotation rather than being produced if you push.
Registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office, ZC256136. We hold keys, door codes and alarm codes, which is personal data. Almost no domestic cleaning company registers — you can check ours on the ICO’s public register.
Trained, with certificates on file — health and safety, COSHH, manual handling, fire safety and lone working, plus a documented toolbox briefing. Written arrangements, not a claim.

Company number 13058807, registered office 233 Finchley Road, London NW3 6LS. All of it is checkable, which is the point of listing it.

Regular commercial cleaning

The same arrangement, on a contract rather than a booking: from £30 an hour, quoted as a fixed monthly figure after a free site visit, rolling monthly with thirty days’ notice on either side, and no twelve-month tie-in. Offices, clinics, salons, studios, nurseries, serviced suites and units.

Almost all of it is worked before eight in the morning or after six in the evening, because an office cleaned around people is an office half cleaned. See office and commercial cleaning, or office cleaning in NW1 for the Camden, Euston and Regent’s Park side. For a building, a block or a portfolio, see contract cleaning.

For landlords, the equivalent is a fortnightly communal clean in a shared house — kitchen, bathrooms, stairs and hall — on one monthly invoice across a portfolio, with the same two people at every address.

Access, keys and being out

Most of our regular clients are at work when we come. Key-holding is available, keys are held securely and used only for your visits, and they come back whenever you ask. If you would rather use a key safe or let us in yourself, that is fine too.

You do not need to tidy before we arrive. If anything is not to be moved or touched, tell us once and it goes on your notes.

No contract, and what that actually means

No minimum term and no exit fee. Not a twelve-month tie-in dressed up as a membership.
Pause, move or cancel any single visit with 48 hours’ notice, at no charge. Going away for three weeks is not a problem.
Insured to £5m — public liability and employers’ liability.
Materials. In an occupied home we use what you already have, which most people prefer — your hoover, your surfaces, your choice of product, which matters on marble, natural stone and hand-painted joinery. If you would rather we brought everything, we can, and it is charged as an extra shown on your quote.

Regular housekeeping normally starts within five working days, because we would rather take a few days and assign you a permanent cleaner than send someone different this week.

Common questions

What will it actually cost me a month?

Weekly, a two-bedroom flat at three hours a visit is £78 a visit and about £340 a month — that is 52 visits spread over twelve months, not four visits a month, which is how the figure usually gets understated. A three-bedroom house is nearer £395. Fortnightly is roughly half. The table above has every size.

Why is the first visit longer?

Because it meets a backlog — limescale that has had months, the tops of the units, the window reveals, the skirtings behind furniture. We book an extra hour or two and tell you the figure before you book, then the standing slot settles at the normal length. The alternative is sending someone for two hours and letting you conclude the cleaner is slow.

Do you do the oven and the inside of the windows as well?

Not every week — they do not need it and it would eat the visit. They sit on a cycle of two or three times a year, kept on your job notes, and we tell you when each is due rather than putting it on an invoice. You decide each time.

Can you clean my office as well as my house?

Yes, and it is a contract rather than a booking: from £30 an hour as a fixed monthly figure after a free site visit, rolling monthly with thirty days’ notice, worked before 8am or after 6pm. Offices, clinics, salons, studios, nurseries and units.

What happens if something gets broken?

We tell you the same day rather than hoping you do not notice, and we are insured to £5,000,000 for public liability and employers’ liability. The certificate goes out with a quotation as standard.

How much does a regular cleaner cost per hour in London?

Ours is £26 an hour weekly, £28 fortnightly and £30 for a one-off, with a two-hour minimum. The London range for domestic cleaning runs roughly £20 to £28 an hour. At the lower end you are usually paying a self-employed cleaner with no insurance, no cover when they are ill and no employer behind them; ours are employed, right-to-work verified and insured to £5m.

Weekly or fortnightly — which should I choose?

Weekly, if the budget allows. It is cheaper per hour, and a home cleaned every week never reaches the state a fortnightly home does, so the same visit covers more. Fortnightly works well for smaller flats and for people who keep on top of things between visits.

Is there a minimum contract?

No minimum term and no exit fee. You can pause, move or cancel any individual visit with 48 hours’ notice at no charge — so holidays, working away or a quiet month cost you nothing.

Will I get the same cleaner every time?

Yes. You are assigned a named cleaner, or a pair for a larger house, and that is who comes. They are directly employed by us rather than booked through an agency, which is the only way that promise is worth anything. When they are on holiday or ill, cover comes from our own team and is briefed on your home first.

Do I need to be home?

No, and most of our regular clients are not. Key-holding is available — keys are held securely, used only for your visits and returned whenever you ask. A key safe or letting us in yourself both work just as well.

Do you bring cleaning products and equipment?

In an occupied home we normally use what you already have. Most people prefer that: it is your hoover, your surfaces and your choice of product, which matters on marble, natural stone and hand-painted joinery. If you would rather we supplied everything we can, but it is charged as an extra and shown separately on your quote.

What is the minimum number of hours?

Two hours per visit. Below that nobody can do a kitchen and a bathroom properly, and you end up paying for the travel rather than the cleaning.

How soon can regular cleaning start?

Normally within five working days. It is slower than a one-off clean on purpose — we would rather take a few days and assign you a permanent cleaner than send whoever is free this week.

Do you cover my area?

NW1 to NW11 and the surrounding areas, including Hampstead, Frognal, Belsize Park, Swiss Cottage, South Hampstead, the Finchley Road corridor, St John’s Wood, Hamilton Terrace, Maida Vale, West Hampstead, Kilburn, Brondesbury, Queen’s Park, Cricklewood, Childs Hill, Willesden, Kensal Rise, Golders Green, Temple Fortune and Highgate.

How much does a domestic cleaner cost in North West London?

£26 an hour weekly, £28 fortnightly, £30 for a one-off, with a two-hour minimum. The weekly rate is the lowest because the work is predictable and the same cleaner knows the house; a one-off costs more because it is almost always a bigger first clean. That is the price you pay — there is no agency margin on top, no booking fee and no exit fee, because the cleaner is employed by us rather than introduced to you.
