- Bathroom clean: toilets, basins, baths, showers, tiles and taps

Specialist and add-on services
Because we began as carpet specialists, we can combine general cleaning with:
- Professional carpet cleaning and stain removal

- After-builders cleaning to remove dust and residue
All work is carried out by trained, reference-checked cleaners using professional products suitable for UK homes.
Who Our House Cleaning Service Is For
Homeowners
If you live in Pimlico and want your home kept to a consistent standard, we can schedule weekly, fortnightly or monthly cleans. Many homeowners use us for regular housework plus occasional deep cleans for spring or pre-guest visits.
Renters
Renters rely on us for ongoing upkeep and pre-inspection or check-out cleans to satisfy letting agents. We’re experienced with London tenancy expectations and inventory requirements, especially in managed blocks.
Landlords and managing agents
We provide reliable turnaround cleaning between tenancies, including optional carpet and upholstery work. Our team can work to tight deadlines and liaise with agents for key collection and access.
Businesses and home offices
Many Pimlico professionals work from home. We offer discreet cleaning for home offices, live-work spaces and small commercial premises, keeping your working environment tidy and suitable for clients or video meetings.
Students and shared accommodation
We regularly clean shared houses, flats and PBSA-style accommodation. Our service helps keep common areas sanitary and can be vital at the end of term or before inspections, where cleanliness affects deposit returns.
What’s Included and What’s Not
Included as standard
- All labour for booked cleaning time
- Use of professional cleaning products and equipment (unless you prefer your own)
- General surface cleaning of kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms and living areas
- Light tidying (e.g. straightening cushions, arranging items neatly)
- Basic limescale and soap-scum removal where accessible
Common exclusions
- Heavy decluttering or removal of large volumes of belongings

Where something falls outside normal domestic cleaning, we will always explain this clearly and, if possible, recommend an appropriate specialist.
Our Step-by-Step House Cleaning Process
1. Enquiry & quote
You can contact us by phone, email or online form. We’ll ask a few questions about your property: number of bedrooms and bathrooms, floor coverings, current condition, and whether you need a regular or one-off clean. Based on this, we provide a clear, no-obligation estimate and available time slots.
2. Survey (virtual or onsite)
For standard, smaller properties we often complete assessment by phone or photos. For larger homes, end of tenancy or more complex jobs, we may arrange a short virtual survey or onsite visit in Pimlico. This lets us confirm timings, identify any delicate surfaces, and agree priorities so there are no surprises on the day.
3. Preparation and cleaning day
On the agreed date, our professional cleaning team arrives within your booked time window. We walk through the property with you (or follow agreed instructions if you’re not home), confirm key areas of focus, then:
- Prepare by laying protective coverings where needed
- Organise equipment and products suitable for each surface
- Clean systematically room by room, completing agreed tasks
At the end, we invite you to inspect the property. Any small concerns are addressed immediately before we leave.
Transparent Pricing for House Cleaning in Pimlico
We believe in straightforward, transparent pricing. Our rates depend on property size, condition, and whether you choose a regular cleaning plan or a one-off deep clean.
- Regular cleaning is usually charged at an hourly rate with a minimum booking time.
- Deep cleans, end of tenancy and combined carpet + house cleaning are typically priced per job based on an initial assessment.
- All quotes are provided in writing, with no hidden charges.
Parking and congestion-related costs are discussed upfront where applicable, particularly in central Pimlico streets. You will always know what you are paying and what is included.
Why Professional House Cleaning Beats DIY
Many clients start by doing their own cleaning, then realise how much time and effort it consumes. A professional service offers:
- Consistent standards: trained cleaners follow a systematic checklist.
- Better results: we use commercial-grade products and equipment.
- Time savings: free up evenings and weekends for work, family or rest.
- Hygiene: correct methods for bathrooms, kitchens and high-touch areas reduce germs.
- Care for surfaces: knowledge of what is safe on carpets, stone, wood and delicate finishes.
For tenancy and landlord work, using professional cleaners helps reduce disputes over cleanliness and supports a smoother check-in or check-out process.
Insurance, Training and Professional Standards
Allowing someone into your home requires trust. Carpet Cleaning Pimlico is fully committed to responsible working practices and client protection.
- Public liability cover – protects against accidental damage or injury while we work in your property.
- Goods in transit insurance – where we transport equipment and items, they are properly covered en route.
- Fully insured staff – all cleaners operate under our comprehensive insurance policy.
- Trained teams – we provide ongoing training in safe product use, manual handling and hygiene standards.
We follow clear procedures for key holding, alarm setting and access, and we work in line with current health and safety guidance for UK domestic cleaning.
Care, Protection and Sustainability
We treat every Pimlico property as if it were our own, with particular attention to care and sustainability.
Protecting your home
- Use of colour-coded cloths and mops to avoid cross-contamination
- Testing products on discreet areas where surfaces are delicate
- Careful movement of furniture and personal belongings
- Respect for privacy – we do not open drawers or cupboards unless requested
Our approach to sustainability
- Preference for low-impact, high-efficiency cleaning products where suitable
- Measured dosing to avoid overuse of chemicals
- Microfibre technology to reduce reliance on harsh agents
- Route planning in Pimlico to minimise unnecessary travel
If you have allergies, sensitivities or particular product preferences, we can usually accommodate them – including using your own approved products if desired.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does house cleaning in Pimlico cost?
Pricing depends on property size, the level of cleaning required and whether it’s a one-off or regular service. Smaller flats needing light maintenance will cost less than large houses or deep cleans after building work. We normally quote an hourly rate for regular cleaning and a fixed price for deep, end of tenancy or combined carpet and house cleaning. Once we’ve discussed your needs, you’ll receive a clear written quote so you can decide in your own time without any pressure.
Can you provide same-day or urgent house cleaning?
Same-day or urgent cleaning is sometimes possible in Pimlico, especially outside peak changeover days. It depends on our existing schedule and the size of the job. If you need rapid help – for example before a landlord visit, last-minute guests or a move-out – contact us as early as you can. We’ll check availability, explain what can realistically be achieved in the time, and prioritise the most important areas such as kitchens, bathrooms and traffic routes.
Are you insured while working in my home?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic cleaning work. Our public liability cover protects against accidental damage or injury while we are on site, and our goods in transit insurance covers our equipment and items during transport. All work is carried out by trained cleaners following agreed procedures. We’re happy to confirm our insurance details and answer any questions you have before booking, so you can feel comfortable granting us access to your property and, if needed, entrusting us with keys.
What exactly is included in your house cleaning service?
Our standard service covers general cleaning of all main rooms: dusting, vacuuming, floor mopping, bathroom and kitchen cleaning, and wiping of reachable surfaces and high-touch points. We focus on visible areas and hygiene-critical spaces, working to an agreed checklist tailored to your home. Heavy decluttering, external windows, specialist restoration and repair works are not included as standard, but we can often add extra tasks or combine house cleaning with carpet and upholstery cleaning. During your enquiry we’ll clarify precisely what will be done so expectations are aligned.
How far in advance should I book?
For regular weekly or fortnightly slots, it’s best to book at least one to two weeks ahead, particularly if you prefer specific days or times. Deep cleans, end of tenancy and larger properties may require a little more notice so we can allocate an appropriately sized team. That said, we do keep some flexibility for shorter-notice jobs in Pimlico, especially midweek. If your dates are fixed – for example a move-out or inspection – contact us as soon as you know, and we’ll do our best to reserve the most convenient slot.
