A thorough one-off clean beyond a standard visit
Deep Cleaning
A deep clean is a thorough, one-off clean that goes beyond a standard tidy-up — covering built-up grime in kitchens and bathrooms, skirting boards, doors and other areas not reached during regular cleaning — and is typically priced as a fixed job based on property size.
Definition
What Deep Clean covers
A deep clean addresses the buildup that a regular weekly or fortnightly clean doesn't tackle: limescale and grease in kitchens, grout and sealant in bathrooms, skirting boards, door frames, light switches, and behind or underneath furniture. It's usually a one-off visit — ahead of moving in, before hosting, as a seasonal reset, or to bring a property back up to standard — rather than an ongoing schedule.
Suitable for
- Getting a property thoroughly clean before moving in
- An annual or seasonal deep clean beyond the scope of regular cleaning
- Bringing a property back up to standard after a period without regular cleaning
- Preparing a home for a big event or for photographs ahead of sale or letting
Not suitable for
- Cleaning specifically required to satisfy a tenancy deposit return — see our end of tenancy cleaning service, which is scoped to that standard
- Post-construction builders' cleans — scoped separately as they involve construction dust and debris, not general household grime

Typical timescale
A deep clean typically takes a full day for an average family home, depending on size and condition, and is usually completed in a single visit.
Cost guidance
A deep clean typically costs £150–£400 per job in our area, with property size the main factor and condition (how long since the last thorough clean) also affecting the price. We provide an itemised quotation after a brief scope discussion rather than a fixed headline price.
Limitations and exclusions
- Carpet and upholstery deep cleaning is scoped and priced separately from a standard deep clean

FAQs
Deep Clean FAQs
How is a deep clean priced?
As a fixed price based on the size of the property, since a deep clean covers the whole home rather than being charged per hour. We confirm the price before booking based on the number of rooms.
How is a deep clean different from a regular clean?
A regular clean maintains a home that's already in reasonable order — kitchens, bathrooms, floors and dusting. A deep clean goes further into built-up grime, limescale, grout, skirting and behind furniture, and is usually a one-off rather than a repeating visit.
Does a deep clean include the oven or carpets?
Not as standard — oven cleaning and carpet cleaning are priced per appliance or per room as separate services, since they need specific equipment and time. We're happy to book them alongside a deep clean.
