- What kitchen work is routine?
- Agree sink, counter and splashback upkeep with the included exterior fronts.
- What should the bathroom brief name?

- The interval can be weekly or fortnightly where the schedule and address allow.
- Can small details rotate?
- Optional details can be considered without displacing the confirmed essentials.
- What supplies are needed?
- The booking determines what is provided. Ask about equipment and products rather than assuming everything comes with the hourly guide.

- No slot is held by this page. Confirm the address and practical brief with Alesta.
A clear scope
Room use and access
Household use can affect the practical sequence.
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
Put the pet’s practical arrangements in the brief. A room that cannot be entered should be identified before the appointment starts.
An occupied workspace
Explain the occupied workspace without assuming the rest of that room is available. Confirm a workable sequence.
An occupied rental
A tenancy does not change ordinary maintenance into handover work. Discuss any separate move-out requirement as another scope.
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.

Greenwich: a home ready for the ordinary evening
The most useful result may be a workable kitchen, maintained bathroom and a living space ready for the evening.
Name the surfaces that matter when the household returns home. Agree access if everyone will be out during the visit.
Put away personal items from the seating area and side tables. Give occupied rooms priority over a decorative detail chosen at the last minute.
Tell the team when the household’s return time affects room availability.
The brief should describe practical upkeep without promising an unlimited whole-home transformation. What would make the everyday evening easier after this visit?

First / one-off domestic visit£90 fromDiscuss current condition and scope
| Service | Price | Main factors |
|---|---|---|
| Regular domestic cleaning | From £20/hour | Address and access, room coverage, recurring frequency, equipment and minimum visit |
| First / one-off domestic visit | From £90 | Initial condition, included rooms and the priority work agreed for the available time |
| Specialist / intensive scope | Quoted separately | Treatment requirements, difficult access, heavy soil and specialist equipment needs |
Questions behind the guide
Explain the rooms needed for everyday use and their condition. The final quote also needs duration, frequency, minimum booking, supplied products and access or parking details; an evening deadline does not set the cleaning allowance.
Practical planning
Choose a starting routine
Choose the property, interval and first task to frame your enquiry. The options do not calculate a price.
Worth discussing
Core before details
Keep the rooms used during an ordinary day ahead of decorative details. Agree kitchen surfaces, sanitaryware, reachable dusting and floors as a practical recurring list.
The repeat list
- Clear a working patch first: sink and accessible surfaces
- The used bathroom surfaces: agreed sanitaryware
- Dusting with clear boundaries: reachable dusting
- A bedroom without a sorting brief: 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
Name any selected skirting, switches or internal glass before the visit. Discuss the actual area and its time requirement rather than assuming the whole home receives every finishing task.
Your home routine
Define the room scope
What would make the everyday evening easier after this visit? Explore the included room categories below.
Kitchen
Clear a working patch first
Food-preparation worktops, the sink and splashback are useful core tasks. Name reachable cupboard fronts and external appliance panels in the agreed kitchen scope.
Leave ingredients and personal belongings put away; the oven interior needs a different booking scope.
Bathroom
The used bathroom surfaces
Describe the shower and sanitaryware, then the mirrors, taps and reachable tiles to include. Confirm the scope and surface instructions before arrival.
Loose toiletries should not obscure the areas you expect to be cleaned.
Living areas
Dusting with clear boundaries
Name accessible tables and furniture surfaces before the floor tasks. Vacuuming and suitable floor care apply to the living areas agreed for the appointment.
Heavy furniture and private belongings should not be moved on an assumption.
Bedrooms
A bedroom without a sorting brief
Discuss reachable surfaces, dusting and the available floor. Vacuuming and compatible floor cleaning do not require the cleaner to organise personal belongings.
Keep medicines and personal papers in a place you have chosen.
A clear scope
Choosing an interval
The useful interval follows use and condition. Compare what happens during one week with what accumulates over two.
| Planning point | Weekly | Fortnightly |
|---|---|---|
| Best suited for | Frequently used rooms needing a shorter upkeep interval | A household able to maintain the basics between visits |
| Core focus | Return to the agreed everyday surfaces | Prioritise the work built up between appointments |
| Priority planning | A repeatable household brief | Rank the tasks against available time |
| Visit scope | Time and scope confirmed | Duration and tasks agreed |
An initial baseline
Starting work and repeat work are different lists. Tell the team whether the first appointment needs to catch up before a recurring routine can begin.
Later visits
After the starting work, decide what genuinely repeats. Additions should be discussed rather than silently carried into the existing appointment.
Before booking
Respect the finish
Everyday living areas may contain different materials close together. Give the cleaner the existing care information so room convenience does not override finish compatibility.
Natural stone
Identify any natural-stone surface included in the room work. Explain the guidance provided for its care before products are agreed.
Timber
Describe the timber finish and known wear in the available floor or furniture. Suitable moisture and method depend on that condition.
Lacquer
A lacquered side table needs its coating recognised even when adjacent furniture looks similar. Flag sensitivity or damage before wiping is planned.
Stainless steel
Stainless-steel fittings or panels need appropriate surface care. Confirm the exteriors to include rather than assuming every appliance task.
Painted finishes
Painted surfaces should be described with any damaged or delicate areas noted. Ordinary maintenance is not a promise to restore the coating.
For this visit
When another service fits
The regular brief has boundaries. Specialist treatment, restoration, heavy lifting and high access are not automatic additions.
Carpet extraction
Domestic vacuuming and professional extraction solve different tasks. Confirm the carpet service independently if extraction is required.
Detailed oven internals
Separate the external kitchen wipe from detailed oven treatment. The internal appliance service is not a routine assumption.
Mould treatment
A normal domestic brief is not an assessment of mould. Discuss that concern through the separate treatment service.
Exterior windows
The exterior side of glazing is not a routine room task. Discuss window scope and practical access independently.
Post-construction residue
A home after building works may require a different cleaning process. Raise construction residue as a separate service.
Intensive one-off scope
A concentrated reset is not automatically part of a regular visit. Ask whether a separate one-off scope is appropriate.
Practical planning
How the routine develops
Explain the starting home
Give the household context: rooms, current upkeep and who may be home during the visit.
Choose what comes first
A selected switch, skirting section or internal-glass task belongs in the agreed scope. More optional work may require a longer appointment.
Settle the arrangements
Ask which items are included and which the household should have ready. Surface information helps make that agreement useful.
Follow the included scope
Room maintenance follows the agreed order with material-compatible care.
Review what changed
Review the maintenance list against everyday use. Keep occasional details separate so they do not displace the rooms the booking was intended to maintain.
The prepared brief
Rooms prepared for the brief.
The agreed visit
Surface-aware work within scope.
The maintenance pattern
An upkeep pattern to revisit.
Illustrative household scenes; no customer job is depicted.
Your home routine
A clear arrival plan
The key arrangement
A key plan includes both arrival and departure. Confirm it directly so access does not depend on an assumption.
Building entry
Explain any managed entrance and the permission needed to pass it. The household should establish that arrangement before arrival.
Alarm instructions
Explain any arrival or departure steps involving the alarm. The cleaner should not be expected to guess the procedure.
Pet boundaries
Name any room reserved for the animal and prepare another starting space. The visit still follows its confirmed cleaning scope.
Quiet work periods
Name rooms needed for meetings and prepare other spaces first. Changed call times should be communicated promptly.
Arrival constraints
Include relevant parking information with the address. The team can then discuss the practical access arrangement.
Private spaces
The room list should identify what is out of scope as clearly as what is included. State private-space boundaries beforehand.
A clear Greenwich handover
An agreed entry plan and prepared room list support the visit. Ask about anything outside normal maintenance rather than assuming it is included.
The household brief
Scope and booking questions
What would make the everyday evening easier after this visit?
The brief should describe practical upkeep without promising an unlimited whole-home transformation. Tell the team when the household’s return time affects room availability.
What should be ready before arrival?
Make exclusions explicit, including private rooms and objects left untouched. Do not rely solely on a closed door. A busy family routine can leave little clear space. Prepare the agreed kitchen and bathroom surfaces so the appointment remains focused on cleaning.
Which booking details need pricing agreement?
Room coverage and condition establish part of the cost conversation. Ask about the booked time, frequency, supplies, parking and minimum visit, plus anything outside domestic upkeep.
Does £20/hour define the complete booking?
An hourly starting figure does not reserve a set amount of work. Regular visits start from £20/hour; confirm the usable appointment and its total.
Could the first appointment need longer?
For an initial catch-up, identify the rooms that would make daily use easier. The first/one-off domestic guide starts at £90, with time agreed for the current condition rather than an unspecified whole-home result.
How does household use affect the interval?
Compare the normal use of kitchen, bathroom and living space over one and two weeks. Confirm the schedule after that discussion; a preferred return-home time does not determine the interval.
How should occasional details be added?
An occasional evening event may change the order of rooms. If it adds work as well, discuss the size of that change rather than expecting the same appointment to cover every request.
Should finish instructions affect product planning?
Supplies are a booking detail, not a universal assumption. Explain existing product guidance before confirming what will be used.
Are carpet extraction and oven interiors routine?
A vacuuming request is not an extraction booking. Professional carpet treatment needs its own scope, equipment and time. Separate the external kitchen wipe from detailed oven treatment. The internal appliance service is not a routine assumption.
How is an appointment confirmed?
Send an enquiry with the address, room coverage and preferred interval. Wait for direct confirmation rather than relying on the planner.
