The job you keep not getting to on a Sunday is the one we do on a Tuesday. Domestic cleaning in Barnet starts at £22 an hour for a regular weekly visit, the same cleaner kept on your home, no VAT and no call-out fee. Most of our Barnet round sits in the EN5 streets around High Barnet and Hadley, with the rest out towards Whetstone and Totteridge. We bring the kit, we know the hard water, and we leave the kitchen and bathroom done properly rather than wiped over.
Here is the short version. We clean homes across Barnet from £22 an hour, weekly or fortnightly, the same cleaner each time, all products and equipment brought to your door.

What a regular clean covers
A regular visit is the boring, useful stuff done every week so it never piles up. Kitchen surfaces, hob and splashback, sink and taps descaled, the front of the units wiped down. Bathrooms get the loo, basin, bath and shower screen cleaned and the limescale taken off, which in Barnet is a weekly battle rather than a now-and-then one. Floors vacuumed and mopped through. Beds can be changed if you leave the linen out.
We dust the surfaces you actually look at, skirting boards on a rota, mirrors, the tops of things that gather grime. Bins emptied. We are tidying as we go, not reorganising your cupboards, so a quick declutter before we arrive means you get more cleaning for your hour.
Tell us what matters to you. Some clients care most about the kitchen floor; some have a cat and want the hair gone above all else. We make a note and keep to it.
We do the bits you dread.
Barnet homes, and the hard water
Barnet housing is a real mix, and it changes how we clean. The town centre off Wood Street and around the Wood Street conservation area runs to Victorian terraces and period cottages, with Edwardian houses on the roads near the Tube and bigger Georgian places up around Hadley Green. Push out to Whetstone and Totteridge and you get roomy 1930s semis with the kind of kitchens that take longer than people expect. Older homes mean older fittings, enamel baths that mark, original tiling that wants a soft hand.
Then there is the water. North London sits on chalk, so Barnet water is hard, and limescale builds on taps, kettles and shower screens faster than newcomers believe.
Barnet water is hard, and limescale builds on taps, kettles and shower screens faster than newcomers believe.
That is why our cleaners carry proper descaler as standard and hit the wet areas every single visit. Skip a fortnight and the shower screen clouds over. Keep it weekly and it stays clear, which is the main reason a lot of our EN5 clients went from fortnightly to weekly in the first place.
The layout of the town shapes the working day too. From High Barnet station the ground climbs hard up Barnet Hill towards the High Street and The Spires, so for a flat near the top our cleaner walks up with the kit rather than dragging it; we plan for that and it is no extra cost to you. Parking near the centre and the Saturday market can be tight, so for a key-and-go regular we will work around the day the bays are busiest if you let us know which it is.
What it costs
Regular cleaning is priced per cleaner, per hour. On a weekly round it is £22 an hour. Go fortnightly and it is £24 an hour, a little more because a fortnight lets the dirt settle and the visit takes more out of us. There is no VAT on top and no call-out charge. You pay for the hours your cleaner is actually in the home.
So a three-hour weekly clean is £66. A fortnightly clean of two to three hours lands between £48 and £72, depending on how long you book. Most two-bed flats near the High Street sit happily on three hours a week once we are in a rhythm; a family house out in Totteridge usually wants more.
Want ironing too? Add £12 an hour on top of the cleaning time, booked ahead so we leave room for it.
No tie-in. Pause it for a holiday whenever you like.
One-off cleans, a separate service
A one-off clean is a different thing from the weekly service, and it is worth being clear about that so nobody is surprised by the bill. Where the regular clean is one familiar cleaner on a retainer, a one-off is a team job, usually about two cleaners for three hours, sent in to reset a home in one hit. People book it before a party, after the builders leave, when a relative is coming to stay, or simply when things have got away from them and a single visit will not cut it.
A one-off is £26 per cleaner per hour, with a £67 minimum charge. Two cleaners for three hours is the common shape of it. It is more per hour than the weekly rate because there is no relationship to lean on, the team arrives cold to a home that usually needs a deep go, and they bring extra kit for it.
If your place is being handed back to a landlord, that is a different service again. Have a look at our end of tenancy cleaning in Barnet page, which is built for getting a deposit back rather than keeping a lived-in home ticking over.
The same cleaner, every week
The regular service keeps one cleaner on your home. We do this on purpose. A cleaner who has done your place ten times knows where the bin bags are, which radiator the cat sleeps behind, and that you like the bath done before the floor. That knowledge is most of what you are paying for, and it is the bit a rota-of-strangers service can never give you.
If your cleaner is off sick or on holiday, we tell you rather than send a stranger unannounced. You can take the cover cleaner we offer or skip that week, your call.
Every cleaner is interviewed face to face, reference-checked and right-to-work verified before they work in a single home. Monster Cleaning Ltd has done this since 2014, company number 9919639 at Companies House, and we hold public liability insurance. We sit at 3.1 out of 5 on Trustpilot across 128 reviews. It is not a perfect score and we would rather you saw the honest one than a polished line.
How to book
Ring us on 0333 555 2076 or email [email protected] with your Barnet postcode, roughly how big the home is, and whether you want weekly, fortnightly or a one-off. We will tell you the hours we think it needs and a price before anyone is booked. No survey visit, no sales call.
For a regular clean we set a day and a cleaner and that becomes your slot. Most people leave a key or a door code once they have met the cleaner a couple of times, so you need not be home. We are based at 255 Upper Richmond Road West, SW14 8QS, and we have cleaned across north London for years.
Payment is simple. For regular cleaning you pay by bank transfer after each visit, or set up a standing order once the hours settle, whichever suits. There is nothing to sign and no joining fee, and the rate on the day is the rate we quoted, with no VAT bolted on at the end. If you need a receipt for a landlord or for letting a relative reclaim it, we send one.
Not happy with a clean? Tell us within 24 hours and we come back and redo it under our re-clean guarantee, free. We would rather fix it than lose you.
Other things we clean in Barnet
Regular cleaning keeps the surfaces right, but some jobs need a dedicated machine and a separate visit. We run those across the same EN5 streets.
Carpets that the vacuum no longer rescues want a proper hot-water extraction. Our carpet cleaning in Barnet handles that, and it is a good once-a-year add-on for a busy family hallway. Ovens are the other one people put off; the baked-on grease really does need stripping by hand, which is what our oven cleaning in Barnet service is for.

Frequently asked questions
How much is domestic cleaning in Barnet?
Regular cleaning is £22 per cleaner per hour on a weekly visit, or £24 per cleaner per hour fortnightly, with no VAT and no call-out charge. A typical three-hour weekly clean comes to £66. A fortnightly clean of two to three hours runs £48 to £72.
What is the difference between a regular clean and a one-off clean?
A regular clean keeps the same cleaner on your home week after week at £22 an hour. A one-off is a separate service, sent as a team, usually two cleaners for about three hours at £26 per cleaner per hour, with a £67 minimum charge. Different job, different rate.
Is there a minimum charge or a contract?
The one-off clean has a £67 minimum, which covers a small flat near the High Street. Regular cleaning has no minimum and no tie-in. Most Barnet clients keep us on by habit, not by contract. Tell us to pause for a holiday and we pause it, no fuss.
Do I get the same cleaner each week?
Yes, that is the whole point of the regular service. We keep one cleaner on your home so they learn it, your taps, your dog, where the spare hoover bags live. If they are off sick we will tell you and offer a cover cleaner rather than leave you with nobody.
Do you bring your own cleaning products and equipment?
We bring everything as standard, cloths, sprays, a vacuum and a mop. Barnet water is hard, so we carry proper descaler for the bathrooms. If you would rather we used your products, say so and we will, often the case in homes with babies or allergies. The price does not change.
Can you add ironing to a visit?
We can. Ironing is £12 per hour on top of the cleaning time, booked in advance so we allow for it. Plenty of our Whetstone and Totteridge regulars have us iron a basket while the kitchen dries. Tell us roughly how much there is and we will set aside the hour.
Which parts of Barnet do you cover?
We cover the EN5 town centre, High Barnet, Hadley and the streets off Wood Street, plus New Barnet, East Barnet, Whetstone and Totteridge nearby. If you are near the Northern line terminus or up the hill towards The Spires, you are well inside our round. Ring us with your postcode if unsure.
Are your cleaners vetted and insured?
Every cleaner is interviewed in person, reference-checked and right-to-work verified before they set foot in a home. Monster Cleaning Ltd (Companies House 9919639) has run since 2014 and carries public liability insurance. We are at 3.1 out of 5 on Trustpilot over 128 reviews, which we would rather you read than take our word for.
What if I am not happy with the clean?
Tell us within 24 hours and we come back and put it right under our re-clean guarantee, at no extra cost. We would far rather fix a missed skirting board than lose a weekly client over it. That is cheaper for us and fairer on you.
Do I need to be home during the clean?
No. Most regular clients give us a key or a door code once they trust the cleaner, which takes a visit or two. Plenty of people are on the Northern line into town while we work. We lock up and post the key back through, or hold it securely for next week.
