Choose the recurring work before the extras
Separate everyday maintenance from details that may be selected occasionally. This helps the cleaner understand what the household expects most from the available visit.
Additional details to confirm

- Further reachable details by agreement
There is no unlimited rotating package hidden within a regular clean. Confirm the individual detail, its accessibility and its place alongside the essential work.
Belgravia / a household scenario
A room list that takes finishes seriously
Keep your home cared for without treating every surface alike.
The appearance of a surface is not enough to identify its finish. If you have product guidance or know that a coating is delicate, include that information before the visit rather than after a mark is noticed.
A Belgravia booking still begins with the ordinary household essentials: the used kitchen, bathrooms, reachable furniture and floors. Material information helps shape those tasks; it is not a request for restoration.
Remove ornaments that you prefer not to have handled. An accessible sideboard can be dusted within the brief without the cleaner deciding how to rearrange a display.
Record what needs a different approach or should be left alone. Recurring visits become clearer when these boundaries sit alongside the room order rather than being remembered informally.
A schedule with a reason
Match the interval to the maintenance work
Frequency is a planning choice, not a guarantee about how much can fit into a visit. Consider use and condition alongside the rooms and time being discussed.
| Planning point | Weekly | Fortnightly |
|---|---|---|
| Best suited for | Used spaces needing more frequent maintenance consideration | Spaces needing a periodic rather than weekly discussion |
| Core focus | A shorter cycle for the core room work | A longer cycle with different accumulation to consider |
| Priority planning | Retain a clear, repeatable list | Select carefully from the work needing attention |
| Visit scope | No assumed package or duration | No assumed package or duration |
A beginning, not an assumed baseline
At the beginning, there may be tasks that do not recur in the same way. Identify them for the first appointment and ask how they affect the time, rather than treating initial work as ordinary upkeep.
A recurring list that can be reviewed
For subsequent visits, review what actually needs repeating. Keep new or additional requests explicit so the core routine remains realistic for the arrangement confirmed.
A boundary around the regular clean
Keep specialist requests separate
The domestic list concerns household maintenance. Anything needing high access, heavy lifting or restoration should be raised as another requirement, not assumed from the room name.
Carpet extraction
Carpet extraction is different from the vacuuming agreed in a routine floor list.
Detailed oven internals
The kitchen being included does not authorise a detailed clean of oven internals.
Mould treatment
Mould treatment requires a separate conversation about assessment and scope.
Exterior windows
Window exteriors are not implied by indoor cleaning; access must be considered independently.
Post-construction residue
Building dust and residue call for the appropriate after-builders service discussion.
Intensive one-off scope
If the home needs intensive attention, explain that starting condition and consider a distinct one-off brief.
A guide, not an all-in promise
Confirm the detail behind the price
Regular and first-visit starting rates refer to different domestic arrangements. The team confirms your scope, minimum booking and supplies before the price is settled.
Regular domestic cleaning£20/ hourStarting rate · minimum visit applies
First / one-off domestic visit£90 fromCondition and agreed priorities matter
| Service | Price | Main factors |
|---|---|---|
| Regular domestic cleaning | From £20/hour | Visit minimum, household size, interval, products and address logistics |
| First / one-off domestic visit | From £90 | Condition and room list, with the time needed for initial priorities |
| Specialist / intensive scope | Quoted separately | Specialist process, heavy soiling, equipment or high-level access |
Discuss the practical cost factors
Time and frequency matter alongside the home’s size, current condition and accessibility. Describe parking, product needs and additional work so the quotation reflects the intended visit rather than an assumed standard package.
Follow the room list
Separate the room from an unlimited checklist
Select a space below, then consider what will be accessible there. The final agreement still determines the rooms, priorities and duration; these tabs do not add work to a booking.
Kitchen
Ordinary kitchen care
For the kitchen, discuss the sink, reachable worktops and splashback, then any cupboard fronts or appliance exteriors in scope. Detailed interior work is a different request.
Remove food and small personal items from the cleaning area; do not assume oven internals are covered.
Bathroom
Sanitary surfaces with clear scope
For bathroom care, name the shower, mirrors, taps, sanitaryware and reachable tiles included. A room containing different materials should not receive one indiscriminate treatment.
Describe known damage and provide any relevant surface guidance, particularly for sensitive finishes.
Living areas
Reachable furniture and floor care
Dust reachable furniture before attention moves to the agreed living-room floors. Vacuuming and suitable floor cleaning belong within a prepared, accessible space.
Keep fragile objects and papers safely elsewhere; identify any furniture or belongings that should not be moved.
Bedrooms
An explicit bedroom list
For bedrooms, identify the reachable surfaces and floors to be maintained. Closed storage and personal organisation are not implied by ordinary room cleaning.
Secure medication, valuables and belongings before the visit, and name any room that must stay private.
A brief for a lived-in home
Make room availability part of the plan
Household circumstances affect how a visit can be organised. They do not replace a conversation about the current condition and realistic amount of work.
An absent household
If nobody will be home during working hours, confirm how entry and departure will happen. Highlight the areas that carry the household routine when you return.
Family preparation steps
For families, a prepared room is more useful than a very broad request. Keep the core cleaning areas accessible and the personal sorting with the household.
Pet-related boundaries
Tell us where pets will be settled and any spaces to avoid. Their presence may affect the order, so raise it while arranging the visit.
The desk in use
An active desk needs a clear boundary and available window. Explain whether the surrounding room is also occupied rather than leaving the cleaner to infer it.
Ordinary rental care
Rental households should identify the decision-maker for ordinary maintenance. A future departure or inspection needs its own service discussion.
Third-party arrangements
Where a third party manages the home, keep the instructions current and consistent. The person arranging access should know which room priorities have been agreed.
Make the first conversation easier
Organise the household choices
The planner groups your household choices into an outline. Select what fits, then confirm the practical scope directly; no appointment or final quote is created by the controls.
Material information matters
Care starts with knowing the finish
Share existing care guidance and identify known damage. Stone, wood and coated surfaces can respond differently to moisture or products, even when they are in the same room.
Natural stone
Name the stone if known and provide any manufacturer’s care guidance.
Timber
Timber needs its finish identified before a method or moisture level is assumed.
Lacquer
Point out lacquered furniture so its coating is considered during dusting and cleaning.
Stainless steel
Agree the stainless-steel exterior area; internal appliance work is a different scope.
Painted finishes
Show flaking paint or damaged fittings before work, not as a cleaning expectation afterwards.
The short booking guide
Check the basics of the service
- What is the guide price?
- Use £20/hour as the regular starting rate and £90 as the first/one-off starting figure, then confirm the booking details.
- Which areas can form the core?
- The used kitchen and bathrooms, reachable furniture surfaces and agreed vacuuming and compatible floor care.
- What appointment pattern is possible?
- Ask about a weekly or fortnightly routine, with availability based on postcode and schedule; initial visits are also considered.
- What decides the useful frequency?
- How the home is occupied, its condition and the available visit time all inform the discussion.
- Who supplies the equipment?
- Confirm products and equipment for the booking; do not assume either party provides everything.
- What if a different room needs attention?
- Communicate the request early and check its effect on the core work and time.
- Will the inside of the oven be cleaned?
- Only as specifically arranged separate work, not as an implied part of kitchen maintenance.
- Will routine cleaning extract the carpet?
- No. Extraction requires its own service scope rather than being included with vacuuming.
- What should I clear beforehand?
- Put personal and fragile items away, leave the floor route accessible and identify spaces not to enter.
- What about an active home office?
- Identify the room and any uninterrupted period, then discuss an available starting area. Mention pets in the same planning conversation.

Planning, cleaning, reviewing
A routine that can be understood and repeated
Describe the practical need
Give the room list together with condition, occupants and any access or household constraint.
Separate initial and recurring work
Discuss the first visit and recurring interval separately where the starting work differs from upkeep.
Agree the visit details
Confirm materials, supplies, keys and other arrival information before the day.
Maintain the prepared rooms
The agreed rooms are cleaned with the core priorities and suitable surface care in mind.
Identify further requirements
At the end, identify what was addressed and whether anything falls beyond the routine scope.
Getting ready
The rooms prepared for accessible work.
Household care
Domestic tasks followed in an agreed order.
Maintained routine
A maintained baseline, not a restoration claim.
Images illustrate the service setting and do not depict a verified customer project.
Getting the practical details right
Confirm entry, boundaries and room availability
Key collection
A key arrangement needs a handover and a return plan, shared privately with the team.
Building entry
Where a concierge is involved, verify the building process before promising access through reception.
Alarm instructions
Pass on the relevant alarm steps directly so entry and departure are both considered.
Where pets stay
Explain where the pet will be settled and any doors that must remain shut.
Quiet room windows
Give a precise room or time restriction for home working, not just a general warning.
Loading details
Include known vehicle-access or loading limits in the enquiry.
Untouched belongings
Identify areas not to enter and belongings not to handle before cleaning begins.
Confirm the details that make work possible
Clarity about rooms, products and arrival removes avoidable uncertainty. Keep specialist requests separate and ask the team to explain any boundary you are unsure about.
A considered household brief
Clarifying the household cleaning brief
What should I mention about lacquered furniture in Belgravia?
Identify the actual piece and provide any care instructions already available. The appearance of a finish is not enough to establish a suitable method, so known sensitivities and damage should be explained before surface work begins.
Can ordinary cleaning restore a marked furniture coating?
Do not treat restoration as part of domestic upkeep. Describe the mark or wear as existing condition and ask about the appropriate separate requirement; the regular visit should retain a clear boundary around accessible maintenance.
What must be confirmed beyond the hourly rate?
Regular care is advertised from £20/hour. Ask about the minimum booking, included supplies, interval and scope for your property, including access and postcode considerations, before treating that guide as a final quote.
Is room count enough to select a frequency?
No. A rarely used room and a busy kitchen can have very different needs. Discuss occupation, condition and available time when considering weekly or fortnightly appointments.
How are additional tasks handled?
Mention the request before arrival wherever possible. A new detail or room may change the workload, so its effect on the core list and time should be agreed rather than assumed.
Is the initial appointment the same as regular upkeep?
Not necessarily: the starting condition can require a different list and more time. First or one-off domestic visits begin from £90, with scope and inclusions confirmed before booking.
Should I mention an old or delicate finish?
Yes, including any known wear and existing care guidance. Routine cleaning is not restoration, and the product or moisture suitable for one finish may be wrong for another.
Can a household keep using rooms during cleaning?
Explain which areas will be occupied and when they become free. A proposed sequence can be discussed, but surfaces should be prepared at handover and any private room clearly excluded.
Can internal oven cleaning be added to upkeep?
Detailed oven internals need separate scope, just as carpet extraction does. Routine exterior wiping or vacuuming should not be mistaken for those specialist processes.
Does the planner send my choices to the team?
No; it is a page-based planning aid, not a booking confirmation. Share the relevant room choices, postcode and access arrangements directly when asking Alesta about availability.
