Deep cleaning explained
What Is a Deep Cleaning Service?
Deep cleaning is a detailed, intensive clean that goes well beyond regular or weekly cleaning. Where a standard visit keeps an already-maintained home ticking over, a deep clean tackles the built-up grease, limescale, dust and grime that daily routines skip, in every room of the property.
That means cleaning inside the oven, fridge and cupboards, scrubbing tile grout, descaling bathrooms, wiping skirting boards and door frames, cleaning behind and underneath furniture and appliances, and disinfecting every high-touch surface. It is the most thorough clean you can book for a home that is still lived in and furnished.
Most people book a deep clean as a one-off reset rather than a recurring service. It brings the property back to a properly hygienic baseline, after which weekly cleaning or regular housekeeping can keep it that way with far less effort.
Is it time?
When Should You Book a Deep Clean?
A deep clean earns its keep whenever a normal clean is no longer enough. These are the moments London clients most often book us for.
Spring cleaning
Shake off months of closed-window winter build-up and reset the whole home for the year ahead.
Moving into a new home
Start fresh in a property someone else has lived in, before your furniture arrives.
After illness
A full sanitising reset of high-touch surfaces, bathrooms and bedding areas.
After building or decorating
Fine dust settles everywhere after works; we lift it from every surface and corner.
Before or after guests
Get the home ready for visitors, or put it right again after a party or long stay.
Selling or letting
Present the property at its best for photos, viewings and new tenants.
Pets & heavy traffic
Hair, odours and ground-in dirt from pets, children or back-to-back Airbnb guests.
Months without a proper clean
When regular cleaning has slipped for weeks or months, a deep clean resets everything at once.
Not sure whether you need a deep clean or a lighter visit? Call us and describe the property, and we will tell you honestly which service fits.

Our deep cleaning services
One-Off & Intensive Deep Cleaning in London
Every home needs something slightly different. Choose the type of deep clean that matches your property, and we will tailor the checklist to it.
One-Off Deep Cleaning
A single, thorough, no-commitment visit that resets the whole home at once, ideal before guests, after a busy period or ahead of a sale. You book the clean, we transform the space, and you decide whether to book again.
For a lighter refresh of a well-kept home, our one-off cleaning service covers the standard visit instead.
Intensive Cleaning
For homes that have gone months without a proper clean, have been heavily used or are simply overwhelming. Intensive cleaning brings in a larger team and more time to work through heavy build-up, grease and limescale until every room is back to a hygienic baseline.
Flat & Apartment Deep Cleaning
Most of London lives in flats, and compact kitchens and bathrooms collect grime fast. We apply the full deep-clean standard to studios, one-bed flats and large apartments alike, working around your furniture and belongings.
For compact layouts, see our studio apartment cleaning.
Kitchen Deep Cleaning
The kitchen is where a deep clean makes the most visible difference: degreased extractor and hob, inside the oven and fridge, scrubbed grout and descaled taps. For a standalone treatment without the full-property clean, book our kitchen cleaning service.
Bathroom Deep Cleaning
London’s hard water leaves limescale on taps, shower screens and tiles faster than most cities. We descale, scrub grout, treat mould-prone sealant lines and disinfect every surface so bathrooms look and smell properly clean again.
Spring Cleaning
A spring clean is a deep clean with a seasonal purpose. It covers everything in a standard deep clean plus the jobs left all year: inside windows, light fittings, blinds and curtains, soft furnishings and the backs of cupboards. Slots fill quickly from March onwards.
Beyond the family home
Deep Cleaning for Rentals, Airbnbs & Offices
Some properties need a reset to a higher standard, because someone will inspect the result.
Landlords & rentals
Rental properties need a full reset between occupants. We provide pre-tenancy and post-tenancy deep cleans to bring homes up to listing or move-in standard.
Moving out and facing a check-out inspection? Our end of tenancy cleaning follows the agency checklist and includes a 7-day re-clean guarantee. For empty properties between lets, see void cleaning; for shared houses, HMO cleaning.
Airbnb & short lets
Hosts book periodic Airbnb deep cleans on top of routine turnovers, to reset kitchens, bathrooms, mattresses and soft furnishings that quick changeovers cannot fully cover.
A properly deep-cleaned property protects your reviews and your listing ranking.
Offices & commercial
We provide commercial deep cleaning for offices, coworking spaces and retail units: quarterly hygiene resets, pre-audit preparation and the periodic clean your regular contract cannot cover.
Coming out of building work? Our post-construction cleaning removes fine dust and debris to a move-in-ready finish.
Short notice?
Same-Day & Emergency Deep Cleaning
Guests arriving tomorrow, a viewing booked for the weekend, or a property that needs sanitising after illness: some deep cleans cannot wait. Same-day and next-day slots are available across most of London depending on demand, seven days a week.
Our teams arrive fully equipped with professional products and machinery, so there is nothing for you to buy or prepare. Many clients simply leave a key or key-safe code and come home to a finished property.
Pricing
How Much Does Deep Cleaning Cost in London?
Deep cleaning is quoted individually rather than charged at a flat hourly rate, because a neglected property takes much longer than a well-kept one of the same size. Three things shape your quote:
Size of the property
The number of bedrooms, bathrooms and living spaces, and whether it is a flat or a house over several floors.
Current condition
How long since the last thorough clean, and how much grease, limescale or build-up there is to remove.
Add-ons you choose
Extras such as carpet shampooing, upholstery cleaning, mould treatment or internal windows.
Send us a few photos or describe the property and we will give you an accurate quote within 24 hours, with no surprises on the day.

FAQs
Deep Cleaning FAQs
What is the difference between deep cleaning and regular cleaning?
Regular cleaning maintains an already-clean home with routine tasks like dusting, vacuuming and wiping surfaces. Deep cleaning is far more intensive, reaching built-up dirt in the areas routine visits skip: inside appliances, behind furniture, grout, skirting boards and high-touch points. Most people book a deep clean as a one-off reset, then maintain it with regular visits.
What is the difference between a one-off clean and a deep clean?
A one-off clean is a single standard visit for a home that is generally well kept. A one-off deep clean is a single intensive visit that also covers inside appliances and cupboards, heavy limescale and grease, and the areas behind and beneath furniture. If the home has not had a thorough clean in a while, choose the deep clean.
How much does deep cleaning cost in London?
Deep cleaning is quoted individually based on the size and condition of your property and any add-ons, such as carpet shampooing. Because a neglected property takes longer than a well-kept one, we price each job after understanding its condition. Call us or send photos for an accurate quote within 24 hours.
How long does a deep clean take?
Most deep cleans take between 4 and 8 hours depending on the size and condition of the property. Larger or heavily soiled homes may need a bigger team or a full day. We stay until the checklist is complete rather than working to a fixed time.
How often should I get a deep clean?
Most homes benefit from a deep clean every three to six months, with regular cleaning in between. Homes with pets, young children, allergies or heavy use may want one more often.
Do I need to be home during the clean?
No. Many clients provide access via a key or key safe and come back to a finished home. Just let us know your arrangements when booking.
Do you bring your own products and equipment?
Yes. Our teams arrive fully equipped with professional-grade products, machinery and vacuums. Eco-friendly products are available on request at no extra cost.
Can you remove mould during a deep clean?
We clean and treat surface mould and mildew on tiles, sealant, window frames and similar areas as an add-on. Persistent mould caused by damp or ventilation problems may need a specialist to fix the underlying cause.
Is deep cleaning safe for children and pets?
Yes. Eco-friendly, non-toxic products are available on request at no extra cost, and we are happy to work around pets. Let us know about any allergies or sensitivities when you book.
Is deep cleaning worth it before moving out?
If you are moving out of a rental, book our end of tenancy cleaning instead, as it follows the agency checklist and includes a deposit-back guarantee. A deep clean is better suited to lived-in homes and owner-occupiers.
Can you do a deep clean at short notice?
Often, yes. Same-day and next-day slots are available across most of London depending on demand. Call 020 7846 0024 to check availability.
