Cleaners in Bromley

Whether you’re looking for a one-off clean or a regular slot for the next few months, we have a vetted list of cleaners in Bromley to choose from.

How can we help

Finding a trustworthy, hardworking, and reliable cleaner is no easy feat. With so many options on Google and several Facebook groups to sift through, hiring a long-term provider is challenging, to say the least.

To ease the burden, we’ve put together a list of cleaning companies in Bromley. We do our best to work with each company to ensure they clean to a high standard and meet our requirements as a trusted service provider.

Agency vs individual

One of the most important questions you can ask yourself is whether you need a cleaning agency or an individual cleaner. A lot depends on the type of job. If you need a large office cleaned, consider using an agency to supply its cleaners, especially if you need more than one person. A cleaning agency should vet the cleaners they work with, including conducting DBS background checks for employees who work around children.

If you need your house cleaned, we recommend hiring a cleaner who can visit your home regularly. Over a few weeks, an individual cleaner can build up knowledge of how you like your home cleaned, your specific requirements, and the problem areas that require special attention, which, over time, should lead to more efficient and better cleans.

Services

We ensure the providers we work with offer a wide range of clearing services, including;

Domestic cleaning

Keeping your home clean can be challenging, especially if you live a busy life. With large homes making up a significant percentage of the housing stock, it’s no surprise that domestic cleaners are in high demand in Bromley.

Commercial cleaning

Do you need your office cleaned? Or perhaps you’re looking for an agency to clean a multi-floor apartment building. Whatever your requirements, our handpicked list of commercial cleaners has the resources and expertise to tackle any commercial job.

End of tenancy

To avoid losing all or part of your deposit, you need to leave the property in the same condition you found it in when you first moved in. If you’ve lived in the property for some time, you’ll need a deep end-of-tenancy clean to restore it to its original condition.

The lowest price for a two-bedroom end-of-tenancy clean in Bromley is £243 – offered by Monster Cleaning Bromley.

One-off deep clean

Our hand-picked list of Bromley-based cleaning agencies all offer a one-off deep clean. Available at a slightly higher hourly rate, this service is normally booked after the builder has been around or before a big event at home.

Carpet cleaning

Refresh your carpets, rugs, and upholstery with a professional carpet cleaning service. We recommend working with a company specializing in hot-water extraction, as this is best for removing stains, allergens, and odors from carpets. 

Excellent Carpet Cleaners charge £40 per bedroom carpet, a competitive price for the Bromley area.

Calculating the cost

The average price for a cleaner in Bromley is £21 per hour, with rates varying depending on the required service. Complex jobs are often charged at a higher rate, and checking the fine print can help you avoid those unexpected charges. Here are a few things to think about when calculating the cost of hiring a cleaner

Minimum number of hours

You can negotiate a lower hourly rate when you hire a cleaning agency on a long-term contract. Booking a regular slot for weeks at a time provides the agency with stability, and most providers are willing to compromise on price if it leads to a long-term working relationship.

Cleaning materials

Some cleaners will vary their hourly rate depending on whether they need to provide the cleaning materials. It’s worth checking with the provider before agreeing on a start date. If you prefer a certain brand of cleaning product due to allergies, check whether they’re happy to accommodate at the advertised price or if you need to provide the materials yourself.

Judging whether a cleaner is good

A question you might ask is how to tell whether your cleaner has done a good job. Here are a few things to look out for.

Did they move furniture?

A good housekeeper will move furniture when cleaning your property. Check for loose objects under beds, behind sofas, and around movable items like tables and drawers. If your cleaner pays attention to detail, those hidden areas should be free of dirt and mess.

Did they clean overlooked areas?

If your cleaner has done a thorough job, they’ll clean areas you don’t pay much attention to—for example, skirting boards, light fittings and windowsills. If you notice loose objects and unwanted mess in any of these areas, your cleaner has probably cut a corner or two.

Things to keep in mind

Keep the following things in mind as you narrow down your search. 

What’s included 

It’s important to confirm what is included in your clean. If your kitchen is being cleaned, find out if this includes the inside of the fridge, microwave, and kitchen cupboards. Many cleaning companies in Bromley charge extra for this service, so be sure to confirm before booking. 

Cancellation policy

Sometimes life gets in the way of a good clean. If your schedule changes frequently, check the cancellation policies of any cleaners or agencies you’re considering. A reputable agency should offer free cancellation with 24 hours’ notice, but always check the fine print. 

Insurance policy

Check the insurance policy of agencies that hire cleaners on a contractual basis. If the agency you engage hires a third-party cleaner, you could be liable for any damages or thefts that occur during the clean. Ideally, you’d always work with a fully insured and vetted provider.
