Esher / household planning
For a larger Esher home, a deliberately selected set of rooms can make regular cleaning useful. State the included areas without implying that every space is maintained at every appointment.
A defined footprint lets the household distinguish routine upkeep from a broader occasional request.
Review the list when rooms come into use or guests arrive. Adding an area can alter the required time, even when the established rooms remain unchanged.
Write down the recurring room names and identify occasional spaces as separate requests. A large property can have a deliberately limited maintenance scope.
When the footprint expands, give the condition of the added room and any access restriction. Confirm the revised appointment rather than assuming the old duration applies.
Room coverage
Room-by-room planning gives the enquiry useful detail. Tell the team which examples apply and which spaces are excluded.
Kitchen
Ask for accessible counters, the sink and splashback, with agreed cupboard fronts and appliance exteriors rather than internal servicing.
Remove papers and loose belongings from work surfaces before arrival. Detailed oven cleaning is not part of an exterior wipe.
Bathroom
Describe the sanitary fittings and shower area, then identify accessible tiling and mirrors for the bathroom brief.
Share the material instructions for sensitive areas and identify defects; a maintenance clean does not repair them.
Living spaces
An agreed living room can receive reachable-surface care and dusting, followed by vacuuming and suitable treatment of the floor.
Choose storage for personal papers and breakable objects yourself before making the surface available.
Sleeping rooms
Bedroom upkeep concerns the agreed room surfaces and floors. Dusting and vacuuming depend on access and the confirmed list.
Name excluded sleeping rooms and store personal items securely before the cleaner arrives.
Visit frequency
A weekly booking and a fortnightly visit can serve different needs; consider what accumulates between appointments.
| Planning point | Weekly | Fortnightly |
|---|---|---|
| Best suited for | Areas needing frequent upkeep | Rooms needing less frequent support |
| Core focus | Regular attention to the chosen areas | Allow the brief to reflect accumulated tasks |
| Priority planning | Make a short core list clear | Rank the work that matters after the gap |
| Visit scope | Set the room list with the team | Confirm the brief for that timetable |
Begin with an honest description of the accumulated tasks. The first appointment may need additional time before a recurring pattern is practical.
When the routine becomes established, retain the useful core and discuss new requirements before they alter the workload.
Material guidance
Tell the team which finishes are involved and where damage already exists; a room name is not enough to choose products.
Point out natural stone early so the proposed method can be checked against it.
Tell the team how the timber is finished so moisture and method can be considered appropriately.
Flag lacquered furniture and provide any care restrictions for the coating.
Describe the steel exterior included in the brief; internal appliance work remains a different service.
Point out flaking or marked painted surfaces so their condition is understood before cleaning.
Esher / local enquiry
Esher bookings need the full postcode and the intended rooms. A booking requires a checked postcode, a defined workload and confirmed practical arrangements, including supplies and access.
For the wider service scope, see Domestic Cleaning, or ask the team about your address.

This map helps locate the area while the team confirms the actual address.
Open map in a new tabEssential upkeep
There is a difference between the recurring room list and an occasional detail. Keep that distinction visible when planning the visit.
Review optional work whenever the household expands its list. Additional requests need a discussion about the time available.
Household arrangements
Use relevant circumstances when preparing the brief.
An absent household still needs a clear brief, including the used rooms and agreed way into the property.
Keep everyday household areas ahead of occasional rooms, and ensure belongings do not block the agreed work.
A pet at home changes the access discussion; explain the boundaries and who will manage the arrangement.
Keep working papers private and explain when the desk area can be approached, if it is included.
For an occupied rental, keep ordinary upkeep separate from any later check-out clean and identify the person giving instructions.
Identify who can answer a scope question and ensure everyone is working from the same version of the list.

Quick answers
Price guides
A price discussion needs the rooms and current condition as well as the preferred frequency.
| Service | Price | Main factors |
|---|---|---|
| Regular domestic cleaning | From £20/hour | Address, available time, frequency, room size and equipment |
| First / one-off domestic visit | From £90 | Present upkeep, room coverage and priority level |
| Specialist / intensive scope | Confirm a dedicated quotation | Different equipment, high areas or specialist treatment |
Describe the property’s size and upkeep needs, how often you want help, and any parking or entry issue; these details influence the final cost.
Task order
The board gives you a way to express priorities, without changing an appointment or adding cleaning time.
Booking process
Explain the included spaces and the practical household conditions affecting their availability.
Work out the priority rooms and preferred rhythm with the team, subject to availability.
Confirm entry, departure and products before the cleaner attends the property.
Core tasks guide the work in the spaces that were agreed for the appointment.
Confirm the useful maintenance priorities and discuss anything that requires a different scope.
Decide the rooms before arrival.
Agreed surfaces maintained in order.
A baseline to review for next time.
These scenes illustrate domestic care; they do not document customer work or a before-and-after result.
Practical access
Give the team one confirmed plan for receiving and returning keys through private communication.
Check the building’s procedure and the person authorised to admit the cleaner.
Agree the alarm procedure directly so entry and leaving the property are covered.
A pet at home changes the access discussion; explain the boundaries and who will manage the arrangement.
Keep working papers private and explain when the desk area can be approached, if it is included.
Describe any limitation on parking or unloading before a time is agreed.
State private-space boundaries directly instead of leaving the cleaner to interpret them.
Before confirming, check how the room priorities and material needs will be handled and clarify any separate service.
Separate services
Some tasks need more than the regular room routine. Use the relevant service below and describe access or restoration requirements explicitly.
Ask about extraction separately when a carpet needs more than ordinary vacuuming.
Do not infer an internal oven service from a booking that mentions appliance fronts.
Raise mould concerns with the relevant service rather than adding treatment to the recurring list.
Exterior glass and the means of reaching it require a dedicated window-cleaning discussion.
For renovation residue, request the after-builders service and describe the work that has taken place.
A bigger reset is a separate planning question, not an automatic extension of a regular visit.
Booking questions
Select a realistic recurring area and identify rooms used only occasionally. A new space should be discussed when needed instead of being assumed to fit the existing duration.
Make the confirmed work areas reachable and give clear private-room instructions. The cleaner should not have to choose storage for your belongings.
Alesta’s guides start at £20/hour for regular domestic work and £90 for first/one-off care. Supplies and the minimum visit need checking.
Neither interval guarantees a particular amount of completed work. Agree priorities and duration alongside the proposed schedule.
The household can request a changed priority, but the team needs to know whether this also enlarges the brief.
It may differ from later care because the initial tasks have built up. The quoted scope should acknowledge that difference.
Discuss equipment availability and product preferences with the team before booking. The supply arrangement needs an explicit agreement.
Make the room restriction explicit and agree whether access later is possible. The cleaner should not decide when to interrupt an occupied office.
The domestic floor list can include vacuuming, not an automatic extraction treatment. Confirm the separate carpet service if needed.
No appointment is reserved by the planner. Give Alesta the postcode and confirm the room list, time, supplies and access directly.
Your next step
Choose the regularly included rooms. Discuss occasional rooms before adding them. Ask Alesta to confirm the practical booking details.
