Frequently Asked Questions

Start by checking experience, reviews, and whether the team can explain their process clearly. We've supported homeowners and tenants across London for years, with over 18 years of professional cleaning services and a 4.4-star track record from 183+ verified reviews. You'll also want to confirm the basics: fully insured, DBS-checked, and trained cleaners, plus photos taken before and after so you can see what changed. Ask about eco detergents, stain treatment, and how they handle drying times - especially on busy roads and flats with limited access. If you're comparing quotes, choose the plan that matches your carpet condition and your timetable, not the lowest headline price.

Yes. Our deep cleaning approach is designed for real day-to-day wear - coffee spills, muddy footprints, and general traffic marks you notice most near entrances. We use professional equipment and cleaning solutions chosen for fabric type, then pre-treat problem areas before extracting embedded dirt. That means you get a clean that isn't just surface fresh, but actually removes grime that dulls fibres. In practice, it's especially helpful for homes and lettings in Deptford and New Cross, where carpets often see heavy use. We'll also advise on aftercare and drying so you can move back in comfortably, without guessing.

We use commercial-grade carpet and upholstery cleaning tools, plus detail-focused tools for edges and tight corners. The key is combining the right extraction method with accurate pre-treatment - so spots and high-traffic areas are handled first, then the whole area gets an even deep clean. For Lewisham homes, we're careful with airflow and drying time, particularly where access is limited or furniture needs to be repositioned safely. We also take before-and-after photos on request, so you can see exactly where we've focused. If you're unsure what's best for your specific carpet type, we'll talk you through the plan before we start.

Absolutely. Our team is fully insured, DBS-checked, and trained cleaners, following all UK hygiene and health & safety standards. That training matters because different fabrics, stains, and household situations need different techniques. If you're planning end of tenancy cleaning, you'll want consistent attention to detail - bathroom grime, kitchen surfaces, and the hidden areas that agents notice. We also follow compliant working practices aligned with recognised industry expectations such as SafeContractor, so you get a reliable service you can schedule with confidence. For many clients, the biggest reassurance is knowing the people in your home have been background-checked and are trained for safe, thorough cleaning.

We take eco seriously, not as a marketing add-on. Eco rating: 85% of cleaning products and methods are eco-friendly and non-toxic, and we match that to the task - whether it's carpet cleaning, upholstery, or domestic deep cleaning. We use effective detergents that are gentler on fabrics and homes, while still tackling ingrained dirt and stains. In practice, that means many customers feel comfortable using their home sooner and with less worry about harsh chemical odours. If you have pets or small children, tell us up front - we'll recommend the best option for your situation and explain drying and ventilation guidance clearly.

A proper end of tenancy clean is planned, not improvised. We can handle full home cleaning (kitchen, bathrooms, floors, and skirting), plus focused carpet and upholstery refreshes where needed. We'll tailor the checklist to your property layout and what your landlord or agent typically expects, then work systematically room by room. If you're juggling keys and move-out times, we'll confirm access details and agree the schedule in advance. We're also used to tight coordination in the London Borough of Lewisham and neighbouring boroughs, including flats near transport links where time matters. Before we start, we'll ask about any problem areas so the clean prioritises the spots likely to be checked.

Yes - after builders cleaning is one of our common requests in South East London. We can remove construction dust and residues from hard surfaces and prepare rooms for a safe handover, then we can follow up with deeper carpet or upholstery attention if the building works affected soft furnishings. Greenwich Park and Greenwich High Road areas often involve busy access and mixed property types, so we plan around your entry points, lift availability, and time windows. We'll protect floors where needed, work carefully around fixtures, and aim for a visible difference you can notice right away. If you've got photos of the worksite or affected areas, send them - this helps us estimate the right approach and timeframe.

We can, and many customers like the transparency. On request, we'll take photos before we start and then again once the cleaning is finished, so you can clearly see what's improved - especially for carpet stains, traffic marks, and heavily used zones. This is particularly useful for end of tenancy cleaning, where you want evidence for your own peace of mind and to support deposit discussions. Rated 4.4 stars from 183+ verified reviews, and that's often mentioned alongside our consistency and attention to detail. If you prefer a quick visual check, we'll also talk you through what we treated and why.

We provide domestic and deep cleaning across London and nearby boroughs, including South East London areas like Lewisham, Greenwich, Deptford, New Cross, Brockley, Lee, Catford, Forest Hill, Honor Oak, Dulwich, Peckham (SE15 area), Sydenham, Penge, and Beckenham. We can also support nearby neighbourhoods when travel time and access work well. If you're not sure whether we cover your street, share the postcode and we'll confirm straight away. This local knowledge helps us schedule efficiently and keep appointment times reliable - especially during busy periods around London's main roads and stations.

Clients commonly request cleaning near well-known spots in the area, including London Bridge, Deptford High Street, Lewisham High Street, Greenwich High Road, and Old Kent Road. On the green side, we're frequently booked near Greenwich Park and Brockwell Park for homes close by. If you're near The O2 in Greenwich or working around the wider SE10 and SE8 area, access planning matters - so we'll confirm parking, lifts, and timing before we arrive. It's also helpful if you can describe any tricky access points (stairs, narrow hallways, or rooms blocked by furniture), so we bring the right equipment and we don't waste time. Once scheduled, you can expect a straightforward, reliable visit.

We aim to minimise waste and we'll help you handle it responsibly. When appropriate, we separate materials for recycling where possible and follow local guidance for how rubbish is managed. In some situations - like after builders cleaning - we can advise you on how to deal with dust and disposable coverings so it's disposed of safely. For exact details, check your London Borough council guidance on waste and recycling, and if you tell us your borough we can point you to the most relevant starting point (for example, the Lewisham or Greenwich council recycling pages). The goal is simple: leave your home clean, safe, and not messy behind the scenes.

Pricing is based on what needs doing and how long it takes to do it properly. Carpet cleaning costs can vary depending on carpet size, fibre type, stain severity, and how soiled the traffic areas are. For end of tenancy and deep cleaning, the layout, number of bathrooms and bedrooms, and any extra problem areas influence the quote. Access also matters - parking, floor level, and whether we need to move lighter furniture for safe cleaning. We'll always be upfront about what's included and the likely drying or completion time. Call our London team with your postcode and a quick description, and we'll suggest the most suitable option rather than guessing.

We do our best to match cleaning around your life, including weekday and weekend availability where possible. If you've got a time-critical situation - an urgent stain before guests arrive or a last-minute move-out - tell us when you need the job completed and we'll confirm the closest workable slot. For example, if you're near Greenwich High Road, timing can be tight due to access, so we'll coordinate arrival and any parking considerations early. We're also transparent about drying times for carpet and upholstery, so you can plan around work, school runs, or viewings. Book your cleaner today and we'll guide you through what to prepare before we arrive.

That's a common concern, and we take it seriously. We use cleaning solutions aligned with eco rating: 85% of cleaning products and methods are eco-friendly and non-toxic, and we'll also consider ventilation and drying times in your home. Our DBS-checked cleaners are trained for safe handling of products, and we follow all UK hygiene and health & safety standards for every visit. If you have allergies or asthma, tell us what triggers you - then we can tailor the products and work sequence to reduce strong odours. After we finish, we'll give simple aftercare advice, such as when it's safest to let pets and children back in. If you'd like, we can discuss SafeContractor-aligned working practices for peace of mind.

Look for verified customer feedback and independent platforms, not just marketing claims. We're rated 4.4 stars from 183+ verified reviews, with many clients leaving notes about stain removal, professionalism, and how the home looks and feels afterwards. You can also view us on places like Google Business Profile, Trustpilot, or Checkatrade where available. For extra reassurance, we prioritise accredited service standards through our compliance approach and background-checked, trained cleaners. If you want proof you can trust, ask about before-and-after photos and we'll show what was achieved. With Over 18 years of professional cleaning services and 7100+ cleaning jobs completed locally, we've seen the common issues across South East London - and we know what works.
