A standard 3-bedroom house clean costs £80–£140 in most UK regions, rising to £120–£200 in London and the South East. Hourly rates for domestic cleaners range from £13–£18 outside London and £15–£25 inside the M25. End of tenancy cleans cost more — typically £150–£350 depending on property size — because they require a deeper, top-to-bottom clean to letting agency standard.
Start with your hourly rate (typically £14–£18/hour outside London), estimate the hours needed based on property size and condition, then add any extra costs — specialist equipment, products, travel. For regular cleans, price slightly lower to secure repeat business. For one-off deep cleans or end of tenancy, price 25–40% higher to reflect the extra time and effort required.
A standard clean covers routine tasks: vacuuming, mopping, dusting, bathroom and kitchen wipe-downs. A deep clean goes further — inside ovens, behind appliances, skirting boards, window tracks, inside cupboards, limescale removal, and grout cleaning. Deep cleans take 2–3× longer and should be priced accordingly. End of tenancy cleans are essentially deep cleans with a checklist signed off to letting agency standards.
A standard clean of a maintained 3-bedroom house takes approximately 2.5–3.5 hours for one cleaner. A deep clean or end of tenancy clean of the same property takes 5–8 hours. Larger properties, homes with pets, or properties not cleaned recently will take longer. Always factor a buffer into your estimates — rushing leads to complaints and callbacks.
Most professional cleaners charge per job rather than per hour once they have experience. Fixed-price jobs are easier for customers to agree to and remove the incentive to work slowly. However, always estimate internally in hours to make sure your fixed price covers your time. New cleaners often start hourly until they can accurately estimate job times.
Add-on services that command premium pricing include: oven cleaning (£50–£90), carpet cleaning (£30–£60 per room), upholstery cleaning, window cleaning (inside), decluttering assistance, post-construction cleaning, and Airbnb turnaround cleans. Bundling add-ons into packages increases average job value significantly.
