The household brief
Plan the room priorities
A few choices can help explain the household brief. The actual appointment still needs direct confirmation.
The household brief
Materials before products
Do not let a general cleaning list override the care instructions for a particular finish. Share what you know in advance.
Timber
Share existing timber instructions instead of assuming all wood behaves alike.
Lacquer
Flag the lacquered pieces included in reachable dusting.
Stainless steel
Identify stainless-steel exteriors and agree a suitable product for their finish. Internal appliance work remains a separate scope.
Painted finishes
Do not assume every painted fitting can be scrubbed.
A room order for a larger task list
Wandsworth: a room order for a larger task list
Several bedrooms and living spaces can produce a long brief even when only some are used intensively.
Identify the rooms that need maintenance at every visit. Describe the condition rather than relying only on property size.
Put occasional rooms and selected details behind the agreed core. Confirm the available time before adding another whole room.
After the first appointment, review the balance using the actual priorities.
A larger home calls for a clear scope conversation; the hourly starting rate is not a whole-property quote. Which rooms could rotate without displacing essential upkeep?
For this visit
Before the cleaner arrives
The key arrangement
Confirm the key arrangement before the day, including return. Private access information should not appear in a public message.
Building entry
Give the relevant building-entry steps where applicable. Identify who can authorise access instead of relying on an unspecified reception.
Alarm instructions
Agree the relevant alarm procedure through private communication. Confirm it for both entry and departure.
Pet boundaries
Choose where the animal will stay and identify closed doors. The cleaner needs those boundaries before moving between the included rooms.
Quiet work periods
An online meeting is a practical scheduling detail. Raise it with the room list so another starting point can be considered.
Arrival constraints
Include relevant parking information with the address. The team can then discuss the practical access arrangement.
Private spaces
Tell the team which areas are excluded, even if they seem obvious to the household. Personal boundaries are part of the agreed access plan.
A clear Wandsworth handover
The team needs a usable scope as well as a way into the property. Clarify tasks, supplies and private spaces before the appointment.
The household brief
Starting rates explained
Check the actual room list and visit arrangements against these starting prices. The team confirms the full quotation.
Regular domestic cleaning£20/ hourStarting point, not a complete quote
First / one-off domestic visit£90 fromAn initial visit, clearly defined
| Service | Price | Main factors |
|---|---|---|
| Regular domestic cleaning | From £20/hour | Agreed time and minimum visit, room coverage, recurring interval, supplies and postcode |
| First / one-off domestic visit | From £90 | The starting household condition and rooms, with time assigned to agreed priorities |
| Specialist / intensive scope | Quoted separately | Any intensive or specialist process outside the ordinary household maintenance scope |
Price and practical scope
For a longer room list, state which spaces repeat and which are occasional. Condition, duration, frequency, minimum visit and supplies shape the quote, with access and parking included in the discussion; size alone is not enough.
Before booking
The recurring essentials
A longer room list needs a defined core, not identical priority for every space. Identify the used kitchen, bathrooms and floors before adding occasional areas.
The maintained rooms
- From preparation area to sink: sink and accessible surfaces
- Fixtures before a vague checklist: agreed sanitaryware
- A room ready for ordinary use: reachable dusting
- A clear bedroom boundary: included-room vacuuming
- Floor method suited to the finish
Details by agreement
- A listed stretch of skirting
- Switches selected for this visit
- Agreed reachable internal glass
- Other accessible detail within time
For selected skirting, switches or internal glass, name the actual area. The team can then discuss whether it fits alongside the main rooms instead of treating the whole property as a finishing checklist.
A clear scope
Room care explained
Which rooms could rotate without displacing essential upkeep? Review the relevant room before enquiring.
Kitchen
From preparation area to sink
Identify the kitchen surfaces included before allocating time. Accessible worktops and exterior fronts sit alongside the sink and splashback, not inside an unlimited appliance service.
Keep detailed oven work separate and move loose food items yourself beforehand.
Bathroom
Fixtures before a vague checklist
Specify which washroom fittings and reachable tile areas need upkeep. Mirrors, taps and shower surfaces need suitable products, not a universal treatment.
Point out stone or delicate fittings and any damage already present.
Living areas
A room ready for ordinary use
Plan reachable dusting, vacuuming and compatible floor treatment through the included living space. Confirm what can be accessed without moving heavy items.
Preparation should leave possessions where you want them, away from cleaning surfaces.
Bedrooms
A clear bedroom boundary
Which bedrooms are available matters as much as how many exist. Agree reachable furniture dusting and the vacuuming or floor care required in those rooms.
Private possessions and medication should be stored away in advance.
Worth discussing
Compare the visit patterns
A weekly slot and a fortnightly slot describe timing, not identical task allowances. Discuss the condition expected at each visit.
| Planning point | Weekly | Fortnightly |
|---|---|---|
| Best suited for | A busier household with regularly used spaces | Periodic upkeep with preparation between appointments |
| Core focus | Keep routine room priorities visible | Review accumulated work before allocating time |
| Priority planning | Essential tasks in an agreed order | Select the most useful work first |
| Visit scope | Time and scope confirmed | Duration and tasks agreed |
Starting condition
A first clean begins with the condition now, not the condition expected after regular upkeep. Explain anything that has built up during a break.
The recurring brief
Keep the agreed core easy to identify on later visits. A changed room list or busier household is a reason to review time and priorities.
Your home routine
Room use and access
Different occupancy patterns call for different preparation.
Workday arrangements
Plan the household visit around confirmed availability, then prepare the spaces used after work. Do not leave entry arrangements implicit.
Family preparation
Name the everyday rooms first, then explain occupancy during the visit. Loose items should be put away by the household before cleaning.
Animals in the home
A pet moving between rooms can affect access. Agree the arrangement beforehand so the cleaner does not have to improvise it.
An occupied workspace
A scheduled call can close off a room temporarily. Identify that period and agree a different starting space.
An occupied rental
Keep day-to-day upkeep distinct from a future check-out clean. Confirm whose instructions apply to the occupied rooms.
A shared point of contact
A nominated contact should confirm access and updates. Keep the cleaner’s room list consistent with that person’s instructions.
Practical planning
Beyond domestic maintenance
Specialist treatments are outside the default domestic list. Heavy lifting, high access and restoration also need separate planning.
Carpet extraction
Keep carpet treatment separate from the domestic floor list. Extraction does not follow automatically from routine vacuuming.
Detailed oven internals
Agreed appliance exteriors can be wiped in the kitchen. Detailed work inside the oven has a separate scope.
Mould treatment
A mark suspected to be mould needs its own assessment. Do not assume routine wiping will resolve it.
Exterior windows
Do not assume exterior windows are part of the room list. Discuss the glazing and access through the window service.
Post-construction residue
Ordinary maintenance is not a promise to remove post-construction residue. Explain recent works when requesting the appropriate service.
Intensive one-off scope
Consider a separate intensive brief when routine upkeep does not describe the request. Agree the actual tasks before booking.
The household brief
The essentials, briefly
- Starting cost for a routine?
- The regular rate starts at £20 per hour before the full visit is confirmed.
- Starting cost for a reset?
- An initial domestic appointment starts at £90; explain the current condition.
- What can a kitchen list cover?
- Routine kitchen care focuses on accessible surfaces rather than cupboard contents or oven interiors.
- What counts as washroom upkeep?
- Explain the used sanitaryware and the accessible surfaces needing compatible care.
- How is the living area maintained?
- Living-room care concerns exposed surfaces and floors within the confirmed scope.
- What needs preparing in bedrooms?
- Private rooms should be excluded clearly instead of assumed from a closed door.
- Which cleaning frequency fits?
- Room use helps choose weekly versus fortnightly; a slot still needs confirmation.
- Can the list include finishing details?
- Only listed details that fit the agreed time; core rooms remain visible.
- What about product preferences?
- The team needs to know about particular finishes when supplies are planned. Confirm the equipment as well as the cleaning products.
- Do these choices reserve time?
- Availability is confirmed in direct discussion, not by changing the planner.

The household brief
Planning, cleaning, reviewing
Explain the starting home
State the spaces to include and their condition. Explain practical household arrangements at the outset.
Choose what comes first
Select an accessible detail and confirm that time allows. A request for skirting or internal glass should not quietly displace the recurring rooms.
Settle the arrangements
Confirm who supplies products and equipment. Include material instructions and preferences when the appointment is discussed.
Follow the included scope
Cleaning follows the agreed list, with products and methods compatible with each surface.
Review what changed
Use later visits for the confirmed maintenance pattern. A new room or substantially larger request can affect the duration even at the same frequency.
The prepared brief
Preparation before the appointment.
The agreed visit
Surface-aware work within scope.
The maintenance pattern
A workable routine discussed.
The home scenes are illustrative, not evidence of work at a customer property.
Before booking
Before confirming a routine
Which rooms could rotate without displacing essential upkeep?
A larger home calls for a clear scope conversation; the hourly starting rate is not a whole-property quote. After the first appointment, review the balance using the actual priorities.
Which belongings should be put away?
The room list should identify what is out of scope as clearly as what is included. State private-space boundaries beforehand. Family arrangements matter to room access. Explain them early and prepare the surfaces that are included, without assuming childcare or personal organisation.
What information shapes the final quote?
Ask how the minimum booking relates to your task list. Property condition, frequency, supplied equipment, access and additional services can all influence the confirmed cost.
What does the regular hourly figure mean?
From £20 per hour is the regular rate guide. The complete visit still needs agreement on scope, minimum booking and duration.
What if upkeep has been paused?
A first appointment in a larger home needs a ranked starting list rather than an expectation of every possible task. First/one-off domestic cleaning starts from £90, with condition and duration agreed for that scope.
Does a longer gap change the priorities?
Compare use across the included rooms before deciding the gap. Weekly or fortnightly can be discussed without assuming the entire property must receive identical attention at each appointment.
Do small extras need agreement?
Adding a room changes the work even when the priority order looks similar. Agree the additional coverage and time, or discuss a deliberate rotation that protects the core rooms.
Should finish instructions affect product planning?
Agree the supply arrangement before the day. Tell the team about finishes or product preferences that affect the work.
How are detailed oven and carpet requests handled?
Regular floor upkeep can include vacuuming. Carpet extraction is a distinct task to arrange through the carpet-cleaning service. Separate the external kitchen wipe from detailed oven treatment. The internal appliance service is not a routine assumption.
How can I check the schedule?
Availability is checked with Alesta for the actual postcode and visit. The interactive outline does not book any time.
Before booking
Ask about your address
Give Alesta the full Wandsworth postcode and the work required. Confirm the schedule directly before relying on a date.
