Stone surfaces
A stone countertop needs its material recognised; give the team any instructions you hold.
Worcester Park / Rooms worth putting first
A floor clean starts with accessible space
For Worcester Park floor care, distinguish the area you want maintained from the area covered by belongings. The available floor space needs to be described realistically.

Routine planner
Compare a weekly routine with a fortnightly visit and identify the first room. No appointment is made by these selections.
Material guidance
Do not assume similar-looking surfaces tolerate identical products. Explain the finish and any care guidance you have.

A stone countertop needs its material recognised; give the team any instructions you hold.
Describe the coating on the wood and mention existing wear before cleaning begins.
Mention delicate lacquer before furniture dusting or surface work is planned.
A stainless appliance front can be discussed as an exterior surface, not an unlimited appliance task.
Show damaged or sensitive paintwork before the cleaner starts; routine care does not repair coatings.
Worcester Park / household planning
For Worcester Park floor care, distinguish the area you want maintained from the area covered by belongings. The available floor space needs to be described realistically.
Routine floor care should not depend on unagreed lifting or rearranging the room.
Put loose items somewhere suitable before arrival. If access under or around furniture is difficult, explain that while confirming the scope rather than assuming it is included.
Identify the ordinary route through the room and any section blocked by fixed furniture. That is more informative than assuming the whole floor area can be reached.
Provide the care notes for the included finish and mention existing wear. Cleaning the accessible floor does not imply repairing damage or removing heavy furnishings.

Practical access
Explain the authorised entry arrangement and how keys are returned, without sharing it publicly.
Where entry is managed, verify the building permission and admission procedure in advance.
Share necessary alarm instructions privately for both arrival and departure.
A pet at home changes the access discussion; explain the boundaries and who will manage the arrangement.
Calls and occupied workspaces belong in the briefing. Agree whether the office is excluded or available later.
Tell the team about known parking or loading restrictions while arranging the booking.
State private-space boundaries directly instead of leaving the cleaner to interpret them.
Make sure the booking describes real household requirements and suitable products instead of relying on a limitless checklist.
Price guides
These published guides help start the enquiry; minimum visit and supply arrangements still require confirmation.
| Service | Price | Main factors |
|---|---|---|
| Regular domestic cleaning | From £20/hour | Property size, minimum appointment, access and agreed supplies |
| First / one-off domestic visit | From £90 | Initial condition alongside the room and time requirements |
| Specialist / intensive scope | Quote after the scope is checked | Work outside routine care, including difficult access |
A useful quote starts with the home’s condition and size, the schedule and time required, then checks supplies, access and any separate tasks.
Essential upkeep
Decide what the visit must maintain and what could wait. That order helps make a limited amount of cleaning time useful.
Make the choice explicit: which detail, which surface, and whether the visit has room for it after ordinary upkeep.
Room coverage
Look through the room examples and select the spaces that matter for this visit. Condition and time still need checking.

Kitchen
For the kitchen, describe accessible preparation surfaces and the sink; exterior fronts and splashbacks should be clearly listed too.
Put food away and clear the agreed counters; an oven interior needs a separate cleaning request.

Bathroom
Bathroom upkeep can include sanitaryware, taps, shower surfaces, mirrors and reachable tiles, with material compatibility checked first.
A bathroom can contain several finishes. Flag stone and damaged seals rather than assuming one treatment suits everything.

Living spaces
List accessible furniture and the usable floor space rather than asking for every hidden corner. Ordinary dusting and floor care belong here.
Clearing ornaments is a household preparation task. Explain which possessions must not be moved.

Sleeping rooms
Sleeping-room upkeep can include the named reachable surfaces and floors, with dusting and agreed vacuuming.
Put medication and personal belongings away; mark any bedroom that should remain private.
Visit frequency
Choose an interval from actual room use and starting condition, not a rule that every home needs the same schedule.
| 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 |
An established maintenance list is not a reliable estimate for a home needing an initial catch-up; discuss the difference before booking.
A repeated booking does not mean an unchanging household. Keep the team informed about additions to the room list.
Household arrangements
Choose the circumstances that affect the planned visit.
Arrange the practical handover around your workday without assuming the cleaner can collect keys elsewhere.
Select the family areas actually used each day and clear the belongings obstructing the agreed surfaces.
A pet at home changes the access discussion; explain the boundaries and who will manage the arrangement.
Calls and occupied workspaces belong in the briefing. Agree whether the office is excluded or available later.
Routine care maintains the lived-in home, not a landlord inspection brief. Keep those requests distinct.
Keep a single current brief with the contact responsible for keys, included rooms and alterations.
Separate services
A domestic visit is not a substitute for specialist work. Discuss high access, lifting or restoration as distinct requirements.
The domestic list can include vacuuming, but carpet treatment by extraction has another scope.
The kitchen’s exterior surfaces and a detailed oven clean are different instructions with different requirements.
Use the dedicated mould service for assessment; routine cleaning does not imply treatment of the underlying issue.
Request exterior window cleaning independently, including the access circumstances that affect it.
Explain recent works and their residue separately; routine maintenance is not an after-builders clean.
Where ordinary upkeep is not enough, ask about a separately defined one-off clean.
Quick answers
Task order
The board gives you a way to express priorities, without changing an appointment or adding cleaning time.
Booking process
Give a practical picture of the household, including room use, pets and occupied workspaces.
Set the necessary tasks against the proposed timetable and confirm what is realistic.
Confirm entry, departure and products before the cleaner attends the property.
The cleaner follows the confirmed scope rather than an unlimited list of possible extras.
Review the household brief after the visit if the workload or room priorities have changed.

Priorities recorded before work begins.

Suitable methods for included areas.

Review what the routine needs next.
The scenes are illustrations and should not be read as photographs of completed customer work.
Booking questions
Explain the reachable floor area after belongings are stored. Where furniture limits access, identify that restriction and discuss it without assuming heavy lifting is part of the visit.
Make the selected areas accessible by putting loose possessions away yourself. Tell the team where privacy or pets limit entry.
The recurring guide begins at £20 per hour; first or one-off domestic care begins at £90. Ask for the full quotation and minimum booking.
Consider the room activity and work left after the gap. Choosing weekly rather than fortnightly does not by itself fix the required visit length.
Tell the team what you want altered before the appointment if possible. A larger brief may require another time allowance.
Do not use the intended future routine as an automatic estimate for the first booking. Accumulated work needs to be explained first.
Discuss equipment availability and product preferences with the team before booking. The supply arrangement needs an explicit agreement.
Give a clear no-entry period or exclude the workspace from this appointment. Do not assume a call can be interrupted.
Carpet extraction needs a separate scope and equipment. Mention it explicitly rather than assuming a vacuuming request covers it.
Contact Alesta with the postcode and intended work. The proposed timetable, supplies and access need confirmation before a booking exists.
Worcester Park / local enquiry
Worcester Park bookings need the full postcode and the intended rooms. Before the first appointment, settle who supplies the equipment and how long the agreed work is expected to need.
For the wider service scope, see Domestic Cleaning, or ask the team about your address.
