Weekly cleaners for Brentwood, Shenfield and Hutton
Brentwood empties out on a weekday morning. Eight Elizabeth line trains an hour leave the station for Paddington off-peak, and from Shenfield the fast trains reach Liverpool Street in 20 to 25 minutes, so a lot of houses here sit empty from breakfast until the evening.
That is when our cleaners do their rounds. A regular cleaner in Brentwood costs £23 an hour on a weekly visit, which is £69 for the usual three hours, or £24 an hour if you would rather have us fortnightly.

The rest of this page walks through a normal visit the way a cleaner works it, room by room, then the prices, then the parts of Brentwood that change how long the job takes.
The kitchen, and what the water leaves behind
Most cleaners start in the kitchen, because it is the room that gets dirty fastest between visits. Worktops are cleared and wiped down, the hob and the splashback are degreased, cupboard fronts and the outside of the fridge, dishwasher and microwave get wiped, the sink is scrubbed and the floor is washed last. Bins are emptied if you leave fresh liners out.
The taps take longer here than in most of the country. Essex & Suffolk Water publishes a yearly report for each supply zone, and the 2025 figures for the Billericay and Brentwood zone put the average hardness at 249 mg/l of calcium carbonate, with readings between 226 and 280 across the year. The company classes that as hard.
You see it as a white crust where the tap meets the sink, a ring on the drainer and scale in the kettle. A cleaner who calls every week keeps it thin, using a descaler on the chrome and leaving it to work for a few minutes before wiping. Scrubbing dry scale with a scourer mostly scratches the finish.
A deep oven clean is a separate job with its own equipment, so it sits outside the weekly visit. If yours needs one, our oven cleaning team in Brentwood handles that as a booking of its own.
Bathrooms, bedrooms and the stairs
The bathroom is the other room the water shows up in. The shower screen, taps, shower head and the tiles round the bath get the descaler; the toilet is cleaned inside, under the rim and round the base; the basin, mirror and floor are done before the cleaner moves on. In a house with an en suite and a family bathroom, those two rooms alone can take the best part of an hour.
Bedrooms and living rooms are dusted (sills, skirting, shelves, the tops of picture frames), carpets and rugs are hoovered and hard floors are mopped. Beds are changed if you leave clean linen on them. On the way out, the cleaner hoovers the stairs and the hall and wipes the banister, light switches and door handles.
Ironing can go in the same visit at £12 an hour. Leave the basket out and say how long to spend on it, and the rest of the booked time stays on the cleaning. Carpets that need more than a hoover, the hall runner in a wet February for example, are a job for our carpet cleaners in Brentwood, who bring a hot-water extraction machine.
Prices for regular and one-off cleans in Brentwood
There are two services, and they are priced differently. A regular clean is one cleaner, on a set day each week or each fortnight, for three hours or more. A one-off deep clean is a team that goes through the whole house in a single visit, which suits a spring clean, a home you have just moved into or the dust left after the builders.
| Service | Price |
|---|---|
| Weekly regular clean, per cleaner | £23 an hour (three hours: £69) |
| Weekly regular clean, four hours | £92 |
| Fortnightly regular clean, per cleaner | £24 an hour (three hours: £72) |
| Ironing during a visit | £12 an hour |
| One-off deep clean, per cleaner | £26 an hour, at least two cleaners for three hours |
| Equipment and detergents on a deep clean | £30, dropped if you supply your own |
| Smallest deep clean | £186 (£156 with your own kit) |
The price calculator at the top of the page works out the cost from your hours and the number of cleaners. If paid parking is needed at your address, it is added at what it costs us. More detail on the team service is on our deep cleaning page. Moving out of a rented home is a different job again, priced by the number of bedrooms on our end of tenancy cleaning page for Brentwood.
Homes across the town, from Warley to Hutton Mount
About 55,000 people lived in the Brentwood built-up area at the 2021 census, and the housing changes a lot from one side of it to the other. That changes how many hours we suggest.
Warley, on the south side of the town, is a patchwork of sites that used to be something else. The old asylum, later Warley Hospital, became the Clements Park, Galleries and Mascalls Park estates.
Part of the barracks site was bought by the old urban district council after the barracks closed in 1959 and built over with houses, shops and flats. Ford’s former headquarters there closed in 2019 and is being turned into the Warley HQ estate. Three hours a week covers most homes on these estates.
Hutton, on the eastern edge of the town, has been part of Brentwood since 1934. West of the old village it is mostly modest family estates, and three to four hours suits those houses.
The largely affluent Hutton Mount estate is where we tend to suggest four hours weekly, or two cleaners on a first visit to get the house to a standard one cleaner can then hold. Shenfield, next to Hutton, is due to grow: the council’s Local Development Plan allocates 825 homes at Officers Meadow.
A cleaner who calls every week keeps it thin, using a descaler on the chrome and leaving it to work for a few minutes before wiping.
Fitting a cleaner around the commute
Brentwood has been on the Elizabeth line since May 2022, and the stopping service from Shenfield takes about 43 minutes to Liverpool Street. If you are on one of those trains, the cleaner can work while the house is empty. You pick the day and the time slot when you book, and access is agreed at the same time.
We keep the same cleaner on your home wherever we can. They learn which surfaces need what, where the hoover lives and which room to leave alone. If a cleaner is not the right fit for you, tell us and we will change them. Every cleaner we send has been interviewed in person, is insured and is trained before they start, and we have been cleaning homes since 2014.
The office answers on 0333 555 2076 from 8am to 7pm, seven days a week, if you want to talk it through before booking.
Brentwood home cleaning FAQs
How much is a weekly cleaner in Brentwood?
£23 an hour per cleaner on a weekly visit. Most homes book three hours, which is £69 a week. Fortnightly visits are £24 an hour, so £72 for three hours.
Is three hours enough for a four-bedroom house in Hutton Mount?
Usually not. For a large detached house with two or three bathrooms we suggest four hours a week, which is £92. If the house has slipped, a one-off deep clean first (from £186) brings it back to a level one cleaner can hold in the weekly slot.
Can a cleaner keep on top of the limescale from Brentwood’s water?
Yes, as long as the visits are regular. The local supply averaged 249 mg/l in 2025, which is hard, so scale builds on taps, screens and shower heads within a week or two. The cleaner descales those every visit. Scale that has been building for years may need a deep clean first.
Will the same cleaner come every week?
Wherever we can manage it, yes. If the cleaner is not a good fit for your home we change them.
What is the difference between a regular clean and a one-off deep clean?
A regular clean is one cleaner keeping a lived-in home in order, at £23 or £24 an hour. A deep clean is a team of at least two working through every room in one visit, at £26 per cleaner per hour plus £30 for equipment and detergents, from £186.
