Our House Cleaning Process
Over years of working in Harringay homes, we’ve refined a simple, organised approach that keeps things clear and stress-free.
1. Enquiry & Quote
You contact us by phone, email or through our website with a brief description of your property and the type of clean you need. We’ll ask a few focused questions about the size of your home, number of bathrooms, pets, and preferred days or times. Based on this, we provide an initial estimate and explain how long we expect the clean to take, along with any optional extras you might want to include.
2. Survey (Virtual or Onsite)
For most standard house cleans, a short virtual survey – by phone or video, sometimes with photos – is enough. For larger or more complex properties, we can arrange an onsite visit. The survey allows us to confirm the condition of the property, identify any fragile items or access issues, and refine the quote so you know exactly what to expect in terms of time, tasks and cost before we start.
3. Preparation Before the Clean
We confirm the date, arrival window and named cleaner or team. We’ll agree whether we’re using your products or ours, and how we’ll access the property (keys, key safe or someone at home). On the day, our trained, professional cleaners arrive on time, walk through the property with you if you’re available, clarify any priorities, then work methodically through each room to the agreed specification.
Transparent Pricing and How We Charge
We believe in clear, simple pricing with no surprise add-ons.
- Most regular house cleans are charged by the hour, with a minimum booking time.
- Deep cleans and end of tenancy cleans are usually priced per job based on size and condition.
- All quotes are provided in advance and confirmed by email.
- Any optional extras are itemised so you can choose what suits your budget.
Rates reflect the fact that our teams are fully insured, properly equipped and fairly paid. We’re always happy to talk through ways to keep within a budget, such as prioritising certain rooms or rotating tasks on different visits.
Why Choose Professional House Cleaning Over DIY?
Many of our Harringay clients are perfectly capable of cleaning, but simply don’t have the time or energy to do it consistently at a high standard. A professional service offers:
- Consistent results from trained cleaners following a structured checklist.
- Proper products and equipment, used safely on the right surfaces.
- Thorough attention to areas that are often missed in day-to-day cleaning.
- The reassurance that if someone is unwell or on leave, a replacement can be arranged.
- More time for you to focus on work, family and rest.
In practice, this means a cleaner, healthier environment and less stress, without having to spend your evenings or weekends catching up on chores.
Insurance and Professional Standards
Your home is one of your most important assets, and we treat it with the care it deserves. Harringay Cleaners operates with:
- Public liability cover for peace of mind in the unlikely event of accidental damage.
- Goods in transit insurance where we are transporting cleaning equipment and materials to and from your home.
- Trained cleaning teams who understand safe product use, correct cleaning methods and how to work respectfully in occupied homes.
Our staff are vetted and trained to follow clear professional standards: punctuality, discretion, respectful communication, and tidy working practices. We encourage feedback after every visit so we can maintain and improve standards over time.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We aim to protect both your home and the wider environment.
- Protecting surfaces by using appropriate, non-abrasive products.
- Using colour-coded cloths to reduce cross-contamination between bathrooms and kitchens.
- Offering eco-friendlier cleaning options where suitable, including low-fragrance and reduced-chemical products.
- Minimising waste by sensibly managing consumables such as cloths, pads and bags.
- Ventilating rooms while we work to maintain healthy indoor air quality.
Where clients have specific allergies, sensitivities or sustainability preferences, we’re happy to adapt our approach and work with your preferred products if required.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does house cleaning in Harringay cost?
Pricing depends on the size of your property, the level of cleaning required and how often you’d like us to visit. Regular weekly or fortnightly cleans are usually charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking time, while deep cleans and end of tenancy cleans are priced per job. We’ll ask a few questions about your home, then provide a clear written quote before you commit. There are no hidden charges, and optional extras are itemised so you can control the total cost.
Can you provide same-day or urgent house cleaning?
Where our schedule allows, we do our best to accommodate same-day or urgent bookings in Harringay, especially for one-off or emergency cleans. Availability depends on how many teams we have in the area and the size of the job. It’s always worth calling as early as possible in the day so we can check our rota and suggest realistic options. If same-day isn’t possible, we’ll usually be able to offer you the next available slot and may suggest a focused clean targeting your highest-priority rooms.
Are you insured while working in my home?
Yes. Harringay Cleaners operates with comprehensive public liability cover for work carried out in your property, along with goods in transit insurance for our equipment and materials while travelling. This means that in the unlikely event of accidental damage or an incident, you have proper protection in place. Our cleaners are trained to work carefully, report any issues immediately and follow agreed procedures. Full details of our insurance arrangements can be provided on request prior to booking.
What is included in a standard house cleaning service?
A standard house clean focuses on regular upkeep: dusting, vacuuming, mopping where appropriate, bathroom cleaning, kitchen surface cleaning, bin emptying and general wipe-down of visible surfaces. We work through living areas, bedrooms, bathrooms and the kitchen according to an agreed checklist. Tasks such as inside ovens, fridge deep cleaning, internal window washing or carpet shampooing are not usually included but can often be added as extras. We’ll go through your priorities during the quotation process so the service matches what you actually need.
How far in advance should I book?
For regular weekly or fortnightly house cleaning in Harringay, we recommend booking at least a week in advance to secure your preferred day and time. Deep cleans or end of tenancy bookings, especially at peak times such as month-end, are best arranged two weeks or more ahead where possible. That said, we do keep some flexibility in our schedule and can sometimes fit in last-minute or short-notice cleans. The earlier you contact us, the more choice you’ll have on dates and appointment times.
Do I need to be at home while you clean?
No, many of our clients are at work or out while we clean. We can agree secure access arrangements, such as key holding or a key safe code, and will confirm this in writing. If it’s your first clean, some clients prefer to be present for a quick walk-through so we can note any particular instructions or delicate items. After that, we’ll follow the agreed checklist each visit. Whichever option you choose, our team will respect your home and leave it locked and secure when finished.
