Bromley is one of the handful of London boroughs with no Underground station of its own, so the town centre runs on two railway stations and a great many buses, and our cleaners know both the Bromley South line into Victoria and the little Bromley North shuttle out to Grove Park. We clean homes across these streets every week, the same cleaner back at your door each visit where we can manage it. Regular domestic cleaning in Bromley starts at £22 per cleaner per hour, weekly or fortnightly, with no VAT and no call-out charge. Ring 0333 555 2076 and we price it on the phone in about two minutes.
Last updated April 2026. Covering all of BR1 and the wider Bromley area, from the town centre and The Glades out to Sundridge Park, Shortlands, Bickley, Park Langley and Bromley Common.
What it costs
Let us deal with the money first, because we run two different services and they are priced apart on purpose.
The main one is regular cleaning on a retainer, where we keep the same cleaner on your home. That is £22 per cleaner per hour on a weekly round, or £24 per cleaner per hour fortnightly. The fortnightly rate is a touch higher because more grime builds up between visits. No VAT is bolted on at the end, and there is no call-out charge inside the area. The price covers the cleaner’s time, the products, and every bit of equipment carried in.
Most regular visits in Bromley run two to three hours. A three-hour weekly clean works out at £66. A fortnightly clean of an average two-bed flat near the town centre is usually a two to three hour job, so £48 to £72 a visit.
The second service is a one-off deep clean, a genuinely different job. We send a small team, normally two cleaners for about three hours, at £26 per cleaner per hour with a £67 minimum charge. Two people get a neglected home back to scratch in a way one cleaner on a regular slot cannot, which is why the one-off is staffed and priced its own way. Want ironing on top of either service? That is £12 an hour added to the cleaning time.
A quick word on the rock-bottom quotes that float around this trade. Most of the very cheap hourly rates only work because somebody is being underpaid to prop them up, and cleaning has a long, grim record of treating people like that. Our rates pay a fair wage to vetted cleaners who come back week after week. For the wider view of what a regular service includes across everything we run, the domestic cleaning overview pulls it together.
Regular service or a one-off
People mix these two up all the time, so here is the plain difference.
A regular clean is upkeep. One cleaner, the same one, comes weekly or fortnightly and keeps a lived-in home on top of itself, and over a few visits they learn your place and get quicker at it. A one-off is a reset. A team comes once, works hard for a few hours, and hands back a home that had drifted, whether that is after a builder has finished or before family descend at Christmas.
Not sure which you need? Ring and describe the state of the place. We will tell you straight whether a single team visit sorts it or whether a regular slot is the better answer, and we will not talk you into the dearer one. Often the honest advice is one deep clean to draw a line, then a fortnightly cleaner to hold it there.
A regular clean is upkeep. A one-off is a reset. They are staffed and priced differently because they are genuinely different jobs.
Bromley homes, and what they need
Bromley is not one kind of housing, and the clean changes street by street. Around Sundridge Park and Shortlands it is solid Victorian and Edwardian stock, big bay-fronted houses and the conversions carved out of them, with original cornicing and deep skirting that hold dust. Bickley and Park Langley run to inter-war mock-Tudor, large detached homes with a lot of floor and a lot of glass. The town centre, in the streets behind The Glades and across the regeneration plots near the Civic Centre, is increasingly new-build flats in tall blocks.
That spread matters because Bromley owns its homes more than most of London does. Owner-occupation here sits around 70 per cent against a London average nearer half, which means our customers are mostly people cleaning a house they intend to stay in for years, not a rental they will hand back. The work is upkeep, not damage limitation.
The one thing nearly every Bromley home shares is the water. The town sits in the Thames Water area, and that supply is very hard, drawn off the chalk of the North Downs that runs under this south-eastern edge of London, with the Thames Water average up around 300 ppm. That is why the kettle furs up, why the shower screen clouds over within days of a good clean, and why a strong descaler goes into every cleaner’s kit before they reach your door. Here it is the plain difference between a bathroom that gleams and one that already looks tired a week on.
What a regular visit covers
A regular clean follows the same routine every time, scaled to your home and the hours booked. The core is the kitchen and bathrooms done thoroughly, the rest dusted, hoovered and mopped, and the bits everyone forgets actually seen to. Here is what a standard three-hour weekly clean covers in a typical two-bed. A larger house wants more time. A smaller place that finishes early gets the extras done rather than the cleaner knocking off ten minutes short.
Kitchen
- Worktops, splashback, sink and taps wiped, disinfected and descaled. The hard Bromley water furs a tap inside a fortnight, so descaling here is part of every visit.
- Hob cleaned properly, the grates lifted and the burners checked underneath.
- Appliance fronts done: hob, extractor, fridge, dishwasher and the outside of the microwave.
- Floor mopped with the right solution, since vinyl, laminate and real wood each want a different product.
- Bins emptied and liners changed if you leave them out for us.
Bathrooms
- Bath, shower, screen and tiles scrubbed and descaled, which in Bromley is the part of the visit that eats the most minutes.
- Toilet cleaned and disinfected under the rim, round the base, the cistern and the flush handle.
- Basin, taps, mirror and glass left clear and free of streaks.
- Floor washed, with the corners and behind the pedestal included. That is the spot most cleaners skip and the one a bathroom starts to smell from.
Bedrooms and living areas
- Dusting of every flat surface, picture frames and door frames included.
- Hoovering of carpets, rugs and hard floors, and the sofa when there is time.
- Beds made if they are not already, and linen changed when you leave clean sheets out.
- Skirting boards wiped on a rota rather than every visit, because weekly is overkill and those minutes do more good elsewhere.
Throughout the home
- Light switches, door handles and the bannister, the germy bits everyone touches and nobody thinks to clean.
- Internal glass: the front door glass, glazed doors between rooms, the larger mirrors.
- A last walk-through before the cleaner locks up behind them.
Would you rather we left your personal things exactly where they are? Say so on the first visit and we work that way.
The same cleaner, kept on your home
This is the part people care about most on the regular service, so we take it seriously. We match you with a cleaner who already works your slice of Bromley, has your preferred slot free and suits what you have asked for, then keep that same person on your home for as long as it works for both sides. The large majority of our regulars see the same cleaner every visit, for years at a stretch.
It works out better for everyone. The cleaner learns your home, your habits, where the spare bin bags live and which floor cleaner you keep under the sink, so each visit gets quicker and more thorough rather than starting cold. When your regular is off sick or away, we cover with someone who gets a short written brief on your property first, so the standard does not slip while your usual cleaner is out.
A clean falls short? You are covered.
Ring us within 24 hours and we come back and redo whatever was not right, free of charge. That is our re-clean guarantee, and there is no small print and no argument attached to it.
Booking and getting us in
Booking is a two-minute phone call, not a form. Here is how it goes.
- Ring 0333 555 2076. Tell us whether you want a regular cleaner or a one-off team clean, the size of the property, and how often you would like us. We give you a realistic visit length and the price on the spot.
- A quick look on the first visit. For regular bookings the cleaner does a five-minute walk-around at the start of the first clean, at no extra cost.
- We assign your cleaner. For a regular slot, someone who covers your area, has your time free, and stays on your home from then on. For a one-off, a team is booked for the single visit.
- Keys, a key safe, or you let us in. Most regular customers leave a key with us after a few visits, kept against a reference number rather than an address.
- A message when it is done. The cleaner sends a quick note, often with a photo or two of the finished rooms, so you know the job has happened.
Parking is its own small Bromley puzzle. The town-centre controlled zone runs across the streets around The Glades and the Civic Centre, so where a job needs a car and your road has restrictions we ask whether you can lend a visitor permit, or we park legally further out and walk the last stretch. Plenty of our cleaners skip the problem and come by train or bus instead. No deposit, no joining fee, no long tie-in. We are Monster Cleaning Ltd, Companies House 9919639, run from 255 Upper Richmond Road West, SW14 8QS, and you can also reach us at [email protected] if a call is not convenient.
Other things we clean in Bromley
Plenty of our Bromley regulars add one of these now and then, alongside the weekly or fortnightly slot:
- Carpet cleaning in Bromley once or twice a year, a separate job with separate kit that adds years to a good carpet.
- Oven cleaning in Bromley, a full strip-down twice a year or ahead of a landlord inspection, with the racks and the door glass done properly.
- Moving out? Our end of tenancy cleaning in Bromley is the job for getting a deposit back, priced as a fixed fee rather than by the hour.
Frequently asked questions
How much does domestic cleaning in Bromley cost?
Two services, two rates. A regular cleaner on a retainer, the same person kept on your home, is £22 per cleaner per hour weekly and £24 per cleaner per hour fortnightly, with no VAT and no call-out charge. A three-hour weekly clean is £66; a fortnightly two to three hour clean lands between £48 and £72. A one-off deep clean is a separate job done by a 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?
On the regular service, yes, that is the whole point of it. We pair you with a cleaner who already covers your part of Bromley and has your slot free, then keep that same person on your home. Most of our regulars see the same face for years. If yours is off sick or away, we send a cover who gets a short written brief on your place first. A one-off is different, as a team comes for that single visit.
Do I need to provide cleaning products or a hoover?
No. Your cleaner brings the lot: a proper vacuum, microfibre cloths, a mop and the right product for each surface. Bromley sits in the Thames Water area and the supply is very hard off the North Downs chalk, so a strong descaler goes in as standard for taps, kettles and shower screens. Prefer your own eco brand, or need something for an allergy in the house? Leave it out and the cleaner uses that instead.
Is there a minimum on the regular cleaning service?
We ask for two hours minimum on a regular booking, because a single cleaner cannot do a home justice in less and still descale a Bromley bathroom properly. Most weekly slots run two to three hours; bigger family houses out towards Bickley take three or more. No joining fee, no deposit. You pay for the hours the home actually needs, and you can add or drop time later.
Can I add ironing to a clean?
Yes. Ironing is £12 an hour on top of the cleaning time, so if your cleaner does two hours of cleaning and one of ironing, that last hour is charged at the ironing rate. Leave the basket out and tell us roughly how long it usually takes you. It is a popular add-on with the working households around the town centre and Sundridge Park.
Which parts of Bromley do you cover?
All of the BR1 area and the wider town: the town centre and the streets around The Glades, Sundridge Park, Plaistow, Shortlands, Bickley, Park Langley and Bromley Common, plus the roads near Bromley South and Bromley North stations. If you live within reach of the pedestrianised High Street or the Civic Centre, we cover you. Not certain you are in our patch? Ring and ask.
How do you get around the town-centre parking?
Bromley town centre has a controlled parking zone across the streets near The Glades and the Civic Centre, so where a job needs a car and your road has restrictions we ask whether you can lend a visitor permit, or we park legally a little further out and walk in. Plenty of our cleaners skip the problem and come by train or bus, since the town runs on Bromley South and Bromley North rather than a Tube.
Do I have to be home while the cleaner works?
Rarely. Most Bromley customers leave a key with us after the first few visits, or give us a key safe code. The cleaner lets themselves in, does the work, locks up and goes. Keys are tagged with a reference number only, never your name or address. Some people like to be in for the first month, which is completely fine. Just say so when you book.
Are your cleaners vetted and insured?
Yes. Every cleaner is interviewed in person, reference-checked and right-to-work verified before they ever set foot in a home, and we carry public liability cover. Monster Cleaning Ltd has been a registered company since 2014, Companies House number 9919639, so you are hiring a real firm rather than an app handing your address to a stranger. Our Trustpilot sits at 3.1 out of 5 across 128 reviews, and we would rather show the honest figure.
What happens if I am not happy with a clean?
Ring us within 24 hours and we come back and redo whatever fell short, free. That is our re-clean guarantee, and there is nothing to argue about. It does not happen often, but when it does we put it right rather than getting defensive. If the same cleaner keeps missing the mark on your home, we move you to a different one.
Can I change or cancel a regular visit?
Yes. Give us a week’s notice to change how often we come, and a couple of days to skip or move a single visit. Holidays happen and weeks get away from people, and we would sooner shuffle a slot than charge you for a clean you did not want. There is no long contract and no penalty for stopping altogether.
