Domestic Cleaning in Birmingham

What a regular visit covers

A regular clean is a maintenance visit. It holds a property at the standard it is already at, working to a fixed list so nothing is missed and nothing is a surprise. The full list is set out under what’s included, further down this page.

What it does not cover as standard: the inside of the oven, the inside of cupboards, behind heavy appliances, mould grown into old grout and sealant, and anything that needs a room emptying first. Those belong to a deep clean, and we point that out instead of spreading them thinly across visits that were never long enough to hold them.

The first visit takes longer than the ones after it

Plan for the first clean to run noticeably longer, and to be charged for longer. It is doing catch-up work as well as cleaning, and it sets the baseline that every later visit only has to maintain.

• We walk the property with you and agree the list room by room
• We flag anything that belongs to a different service, such as the oven, the carpets or a bathroom that needs restoring
• The first clean establishes the standard the schedule will hold
• From the second visit on, the time settles into something predictable

If the house has got away from you, a regular clean will not recover it. Book a deep clean first and put the regular slot behind it, so each regular visit starts from a clean baseline.

Keys, access, pets and working around a household

If you give us a key or code, you need not be in. What matters is that access is agreed in writing before the first visit rather than improvised at the door.

• A key you give us is labelled with a job reference, never with your address, and comes back whenever you ask
• Key safes, door codes and communal entry codes all workable
• Alarm codes recorded with the job, not written on the key or the fob
• Dogs and cats are no problem, tell us their names and where they should be
• Any room that is off limits stays off limits, no explanation needed
• We work around anyone who is in, including night-shift sleepers and small children

We lock up and confirm we have been. If we cannot get in on the day, we call you before we leave rather than afterwards.

How we do it

1. 01We look at the property firstIn person, or from photos and a room list you send over on WhatsApp. A regular clean is priced on how long the property takes, so we need to see it before quoting a fixed per-visit price you can rely on.
2. 02We agree the list room by roomWhich rooms are in, which are out, what matters most and what is never to be touched. Writing it down at the start is what prevents a disagreement three months later about whether the conservatory was ever included.
3. 03The first visit sets the baselineExpect it to take longer than the visits that follow, and to be charged for longer. Expect us to tell you if the property needs a deep clean before a regular slot can realistically hold it.
4. 04You get a fixed day and timeThe same day and roughly the same time each visit. Regular cleaning only earns its place if it is predictable enough to plan the rest of the week around.
5. 05Access on your termsA key, a key safe, a door code, or you let us in yourself. If you give us a key or code, you need not be in. Whichever you choose we take it in writing, label any key with a job reference rather than your address, and lock up behind us.
6. 06We review it with youPriorities move. A new baby, a new dog, a spare room that became an office. We check in and adjust the list so the visit keeps pace with the house.

What sets the price of domestic cleaning

A regular clean is quoted per property, from photos or a look round, as a fixed per-visit price that stays the same each visit so you can budget for it. What moves the number is the count of bathrooms, the number of floors and how much staircase there is, whether there are pets, how much of the house is in daily use, and how much has to be moved before a surface can be cleaned. A house with clear worktops cleans faster than the same house with everything out on them, which is not a criticism, it is simply time.

Two notes before you book. A fortnightly visit costs more per visit than a weekly one, because it has a fortnight of use to undo instead of a week. And the first visit is normally charged for longer than the rest, because it is doing catch-up work that later visits only have to maintain. You will hear both from us up front, before the first visit.

How often domestic cleaning is needed

Fortnightly suits most homes and works well if you keep the kitchen and bathroom going yourself between visits. Weekly suits families, pets, a lot of home working, and anyone who finds the house no longer feels done by day ten. Monthly works for a lightly used property, or a single let being kept in order between inspections.

There is a limit to what any frequency fixes. A regular clean maintains a standard, it does not recover one. If the property has drifted well past where you want it, book a deep clean first and put the regular slot behind it to hold the result. That is faster and cheaper than paying a maintenance cleaner to do restoration work in instalments.
