Our Simple House Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & Quote
You can contact us by phone, email or online form. We will ask a few straightforward questions about your property: size, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, current condition and whether you need a one-off or regular clean. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation quote and recommend the most suitable house cleaning option.
2. Survey – Virtual or Onsite
For most standard homes, a detailed phone or video survey is enough. For larger or more complex properties in Finchley, we may suggest an onsite visit. This helps us understand access, parking, specific materials (for example, natural stone or delicate surfaces) and any particular concerns you have, such as pets or allergies.
3. Preparation & Cleaning Day
Before we arrive, we will confirm the date, time and cleaning plan. On the day, our trained, professional cleaners arrive on time, in uniform, with all necessary materials and equipment (unless you would prefer us to use your own products). We walk through the property with you if you are present, confirm priorities, then carry out the agreed clean methodically and respectfully.
Transparent Pricing for House Cleaning in Finchley
We believe in clear, upfront pricing. Our house cleaning is usually charged on an hourly basis, with a minimum booking time depending on the size of your property and the level of cleaning required. Fixed prices are available for end of tenancy and certain deep cleaning packages.
What affects the price:
- Property size and layout
- Frequency of cleaning (weekly, fortnightly, monthly or one-off)
- Current condition of the property
- Any add-on services (for example oven or fridge cleaning)
- Parking and access in your part of Finchley
We will always explain exactly what is included in your price and how long we expect the clean to take. There are no hidden charges, and we never extend the time without checking with you first.
Why Choose Professional House Cleaning Over DIY
Most households can manage basic tidying, but professional cleaners bring a different level of detail and consistency. Our team knows how to work systematically so that nothing is missed, and we understand how to handle different surfaces and finishes safely, from natural stone to high-gloss units.
Professional house cleaning also saves you significant time and energy. Instead of spending your evenings and weekends scrubbing bathrooms or degreasing hobs, you can enjoy a clean home already taken care of. Regular professional cleaning helps to reduce allergens, prevent limescale build-up and protect fixtures and fittings in the long term.
Insurance and Professional Standards
As an established local company, Finchley Cleaners operates to strict professional standards. We are:
- Fully insured with comprehensive public liability cover
- Covered by goods in transit insurance for any equipment or materials we bring to your property
- Staffed by trained cleaning teams who are vetted and supervised
Our cleaners follow clear procedures for key holding, alarm systems and property access. We respect your privacy and belongings at all times and treat every home as if it were our own.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We know you want a clean home without harsh chemical smells or unnecessary waste. Wherever practical, we use high-quality, eco-conscious products that are effective yet gentle on surfaces. If you prefer strictly eco-friendly products, we can adapt our approach or use supplies you provide.
To protect your home, we:
- Use colour-coded cloths and mops to avoid cross-contamination between rooms
- Take care around delicate items, artwork and electronics
- Work safely around children and pets where present
- Minimise water and product use while still achieving a thorough clean
Our goal is a home that feels genuinely fresh and well looked after, not just quickly wiped over.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does house cleaning in Finchley cost?
The cost of house cleaning depends on your property size, its current condition and how often you would like us to visit. Most clients choose weekly or fortnightly cleaning, which works out more economical per visit than a one-off clean. We typically charge by the hour with a minimum booking, and can offer fixed prices for end of tenancy and deep cleaning packages. After a short discussion, we will provide a clear quote in writing so you know exactly what to expect before you decide.
Can you provide same-day or urgent house cleaning?
Same-day or urgent house cleaning in Finchley is sometimes possible, especially on weekdays, but it depends on our existing schedule and the size of your property. If you need a last-minute clean before guests arrive, an inspection or a move, contact us as early in the day as you can. We will check our teams’ availability and be honest about what level of service we can provide within the time available so you can prioritise the most important areas.
Are you insured if something goes wrong?
Yes. Finchley Cleaners is fully insured for your peace of mind. We hold public liability insurance to cover accidental damage to your property, and goods in transit insurance for our equipment and materials while we are travelling to you. Our cleaners are trained in safe working practices and handle your belongings with great care, but if there is ever an issue, we deal with it promptly and transparently in line with our insurance policies and company procedures.
What exactly is included in a house cleaning service?
Our standard house cleaning covers all routine tasks needed to keep your home fresh and presentable. That includes dusting and wiping surfaces, cleaning bathrooms and kitchens, vacuuming carpets and rugs, and mopping hard floors. We also empty bins and tidy obvious clutter where practical. More intensive tasks, such as oven cleaning, inside cupboards, internal windows and carpet shampooing, are not part of the basic service but can be added on. Before we start, we’ll confirm exactly what is included in your booking so it matches your priorities.
How far in advance should I book?
For regular weekly or fortnightly house cleaning, it is best to book at least a week in advance so we can secure a time slot that suits you. For one-off or deep cleans, two weeks’ notice is ideal, especially during busy periods such as spring and around moves. That said, we will always try to accommodate shorter notice where our schedule allows. Once your regular slot is confirmed, it will usually be the same day and time each visit for consistency.
Do I need to be at home during the clean?
No, you do not have to be at home while we clean, although you are welcome to be if you prefer. Many clients provide us with a key or arrange access via a concierge or key safe. We have strict procedures for key handling and property security, and we are professional and fully insured. At the first visit, it can be helpful if you are present to walk us through the property, highlight any delicate items and confirm your priorities, after which we can usually manage independently.
