If you commute out of Brentwood for work, your house gets whatever hours are left once you are home, which is usually none. We fix that. Monster Cleaning puts a regular, vetted cleaner on your home from £22 per cleaner per hour, the same person each week, with no VAT and no call-out charge.
Last updated April 2026. Prices and service details below are current for Brentwood and the surrounding CM postcodes.
Regular domestic cleaning in Brentwood is from £22 an hour for a weekly visit, the same cleaner each time, no VAT, no call-out charge.
That is the short version.
The long one is below, including the separate one-off team clean from £26 an hour.
Two services, not one rate
People ring up asking for “a cleaner” and mean one of two very different things, so let me split them properly before we talk money. There is regular cleaning, which is upkeep, and there is the one-off, which is a reset. We price them differently because they are different jobs done by different setups.
Regular cleaning keeps one cleaner on your home, week in, week out. The one-off sends a small team round once to work through everything. If you only remember one thing from this page, remember that the £22 hourly rate is for the regular service and the £26 rate is for the one-off team. They are not the same number for the same thing.

Regular cleaning on a retainer
This is the one most Brentwood households want. We keep the same cleaner on your home and they come back on a set day, either every week or every fortnight. Weekly is £22 per cleaner per hour. Fortnightly is £24 per cleaner per hour, a touch more because more dust and limescale builds up in the longer gap and the visit has to work harder.
There is no VAT added and no call-out charge. You pay for the hours your cleaner is in the house and nothing else.
Most homes here settle on three hours. A three-hour weekly clean is £66. If you go fortnightly and book two to three hours, that lands between £48 and £72 a visit depending on how long you want. We do not run any of that nonsense where the hourly rate drops the more hours you buy. The rate is the rate, weekly or fortnightly, whether your cleaner is with you for two hours or five.
Keeping one cleaner on your home is the whole point of the retainer, and it matters more than people expect: after a few weeks she knows your house, knows that the downstairs loo tap furs up faster than the rest, knows you like the bath left dry, and gets through the work quicker because she is not relearning the place every time. That is time you are not paying to waste.
If your regular cleaner is ever off sick or away, we ask you first before sending anyone to cover. We do not quietly swap a stranger into your home.
The one-off team clean
The one-off is a different service and it is done by a team, not a single cleaner. Two people for about three hours is the usual shape, working room by room through the whole house at once. It costs £26 per cleaner per hour, with a £67 minimum charge so a tiny job is still worth a team turning out for.
This is the service for a spring clean, a clean before family come to stay, a tidy when you move in somewhere, or a reset after a kitchen fitter or decorator has left dust over everything. It is a hard scrub to get a place back to a proper baseline.
It is not the same as our end-of-tenancy service. If you are handing a rented home back to a landlord and need the deposit clean done to an inventory standard, that is a separate job with its own checklist, and you want our end of tenancy cleaning in Brentwood page instead. The one-off here is for homes people are living in and staying in.
Plenty of customers book a one-off first, see the difference, then put a regular cleaner on afterwards to hold it there. That is a sensible way to do it.
What a cleaner actually does
On a regular visit your cleaner works to what your home needs that week rather than ticking a rigid form, but the bones of it are the same everywhere. Kitchens and bathrooms get the real attention because that is where dirt and limescale show.
In the kitchen: worktops cleared and wiped, hob and splashback degreased, sink and taps descaled, fronts of units wiped, floor washed, bins out. In the bathroom: bath, basin, loo and shower screen cleaned and descaled, mirrors done, tiles wiped, floor washed. Through the rest of the house: dusting including skirting and the picture rails you get in the older Brentwood terraces, hoovering carpets, mopping hard floors, beds made or changed if you leave the linen out, and a general tidy.
We bring cloths, sprays and the usual kit. If you would rather we used your own hoover, or a particular product on a stone worktop or a finished wood floor, leave it out and say so. Many people here do, especially with the oak and engineered floors that go into the bigger Shenfield and Hutton houses.
Ironing is the common add-on. It is £12 per hour on top of the cleaning time, done in the same visit. Leave the basket out, tell your cleaner how long to spend, and the rest of the booked time stays on the cleaning. Most people add half an hour to an hour of it.
Ovens are their own job. A proper oven clean is not a wipe-round during a regular visit, so for that we point you at dedicated oven cleaning in Brentwood. Same with deep carpet work, where a hot-water extraction machine does what a hoover cannot, covered on carpet cleaning in Brentwood.
Cleaning Brentwood homes and Brentwood water
Brentwood throws two things at a cleaner that shape every visit: the age of the housing and the hardness of the water.
The stock here runs from Victorian red-brick terraces with deep bay windows on the streets near the High Street, through Edwardian semis a short walk from the shops, out to 1930s semis and the bigger detached houses around Shenfield and Hutton. Older places mean picture rails, deep skirting, sash sills and radiator backs that all collect dust a quick once-over misses. The High Street itself follows the line of the old Roman road through the middle of town, and the residential grid behind it, around Cornsland and the conservation streets, is exactly where the period detail and the dust traps live.
Then there is the water. Essex and Suffolk Water supplies Brentwood and it is hard to very hard, so limescale is relentless. Kettles fur up, shower screens cloud, chrome taps go dull within weeks. A regular cleaner stays on top of it visit by visit and treats it with a proper descaler instead of scrubbing it dry, because scrubbing dry chalk just polishes it. Leave hard water for a few months and it sets like cement around the base of every tap. Staying ahead of it is half the reason a weekly cleaner is worth it here.
A lot of our Brentwood customers are commuters. The Elizabeth line runs straight from Brentwood and Shenfield into Liverpool Street, so people are out of the house before seven and back after dark, which is precisely the household that has no hours left for cleaning and most wants someone reliable holding the place together.

Why people keep us on
We are Monster Cleaning Ltd, Companies House number 9919639, and we have been cleaning homes since 2014. That is more than a decade of regular rounds, not a man with a van who started last spring.
Our cleaners are vetted before they go into anyone’s home, and we carry public liability insurance, so if something gets damaged on a visit you tell us and we sort it. We are not going to pretend we are perfect. We hold 3.1 out of 5 across 128 reviews on Trustpilot, which is a real score from real customers rather than a suspiciously spotless one, and the way we deal with a clean that misses is simple.
If you are not happy, tell us within 24 hours and the cleaner comes back to put it right at no extra cost. That is our re-clean guarantee. No arguing, no charge.
The rest is just consistency. Same cleaner, same day, billed by the hour with nothing hidden, no contract tying you in, and you can change your hours or stop whenever you need to.
Areas we cover
We cover Brentwood and the CM postcodes around it. That means central Brentwood and the streets off the High Street, plus Warley, Hutton, Shenfield, Pilgrims Hatch, Brook Street and the lanes out towards Hartswood. If Brentwood High Street is where you do your shopping, you are inside our area.
Not sure if you are in range? Ring and ask. If you sit just outside Brentwood proper but still in a neighbouring CM postcode, we can usually still help, and the wider picture of what we do across the county sits on our domestic cleaning overview.
How booking works
Booking is a phone call or an email, not a form with twenty boxes. Here is the whole thing.
Call 0333 555 2076 or email [email protected]. Tell us your postcode, how many bedrooms you have, and whether you want a weekly clean, a fortnightly clean or a one-off. We will give you a price and a day there and then, match you with a cleaner, and for regular work keep that same cleaner on your home from then on.
You pay by bank transfer after each visit. No deposit up front, no card kept on file, no tie-in. We are based at 255 Upper Richmond Road West, SW14 8QS, and we run rounds out across Essex from there. Start whenever suits you.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a regular domestic cleaner in Brentwood cost?
Regular cleaning is £22 per cleaner per hour on a weekly visit, or £24 per cleaner per hour if you go fortnightly. There is no VAT and no call-out charge. A standard three-hour weekly clean works out at £66, billed only for the hours your cleaner is actually in the house.
What is the difference between your regular clean and a one-off clean?
They are two separate services. Regular cleaning keeps the same cleaner on your home week after week at £22 an hour. A one-off is a standalone deep tidy done by a small team, usually two cleaners for about three hours, at £26 per cleaner per hour with a £67 minimum charge.
Do I get the same cleaner every visit?
Yes, for regular work. We keep one cleaner on your home so they learn your taps, your floors and where the hoover lives. If your usual cleaner is off sick or on holiday we will ask before sending a cover, never just swap someone in without telling you first.
Is there a minimum number of hours for a weekly clean?
Most Brentwood homes book three hours, which is what a typical two or three-bed needs to stay on top of. We can do shorter where it genuinely fits, but very short visits rarely leave a place looking done. We would rather be honest about that than take the booking and disappoint you.
What does a one-off clean include and who is it for?
A one-off suits a spring clean, a clean before guests arrive, or a tidy after building work. A team of about two cleaners works through the whole home in roughly three hours, at £26 per cleaner per hour, £67 minimum. It is the right service when you want a hard reset rather than ongoing upkeep.
Do you bring your own products and equipment?
We bring cloths, sprays and the usual kit as standard. Plenty of Brentwood customers prefer we use their own hoover or a specific product for a stone worktop or a finished oak floor, and that is completely fine. Just leave it out and tell your cleaner what is for what.
Can you deal with the limescale we get from the hard water here?
Brentwood water is hard to very hard, so scale builds up fast on kettles, shower screens and chrome taps. A regular cleaner keeps it from setting in by treating it every visit. We use a proper descaler on the worst of it rather than scrubbing dry, which only polishes the chalk.
Do you offer ironing as well as cleaning?
Yes. Ironing is an add-on at £12 per hour on top of your cleaning time, done during the same visit. Leave the basket out and tell your cleaner roughly how long to spend on it. Most people add half an hour to an hour and keep the rest of the time for the actual clean.
Are you insured, and is the company properly registered?
We are Monster Cleaning Ltd, registered at Companies House under number 9919639 and trading since 2014. We carry public liability insurance and our cleaners are vetted before they ever set foot in a customer home. If anything is damaged on a visit, you tell us and we put it right.
What if I am not happy with a clean?
Tell us within 24 hours and we will send the cleaner back to put it right at no extra cost. That is our re-clean guarantee. We hold a 3.1 out of 5 rating across 128 Trustpilot reviews, which is honest rather than flawless, and the re-clean promise is how we deal with the off day.
Which parts of Brentwood do you cover?
All of it, plus the surrounding CM postcodes. That includes central Brentwood and the streets around the High Street, Warley, Hutton, Shenfield, Pilgrims Hatch and Brook Street. If you are near enough to Brentwood that the High Street is your nearest shops, you are inside our patch.
How do I book and how do I pay?
Call 0333 555 2076 or email [email protected] with your postcode, how many bedrooms you have and whether you want weekly, fortnightly or a one-off. We confirm a price and a day, then you pay by bank transfer after each visit. No deposit, no card kept on file, no tie-in contract.
