Knock on most doors on the lower slopes below Harrow on the Hill and you will find a 1930s semi with original tiles, a bay window and a kitchen that takes real time to clean properly. That is the work. We are Monster Cleaning, and we have been keeping homes like yours clean across Harrow since 2014.
We do regular domestic cleaning in Harrow from £23 an hour per cleaner, weekly or fortnightly, same cleaner kept on your home.
Last updated April 2026. Prices and local detail checked against our current Harrow rounds.
What domestic cleaning costs in Harrow
Two prices, because these are two different jobs. People mix them up, so here is each one on its own.
- A regular clean
- A person who comes back, week after week, and keeps your home ticking over.
- A one-off clean
- A team that turns up once and gets a place properly straight.
Regular cleaning is billed per cleaner, per hour:
- Weekly visit
- £23 an hour, a little lower because a home that is cleaned every week stays on top of itself and the cleaner is not fighting a fortnight of dust each time. A three-hour weekly clean comes to £69.
- Fortnightly visit
- £24 an hour. A fortnightly clean of three hours or more starts at £72, depending on the size of the place.
- Call-out fee
- We never charge one.
A one-off clean is a separate team service at £26 per cleaner per hour, with a minimum of two cleaners for three hours plus a £30 kit charge, so it starts at £186. The kit charge comes off if you supply your own.
It is done by a small team of at least two cleaners, because two people moving through a home together get a deep job done in an afternoon rather than dragging it across a whole day.
If you want ironing on top of either service, that is £12 an hour added to the cleaning time.
Regular round or one-off clean
Most people who call us want one of two things, and it helps to know which before you book.
A regular round
If your week has stopped leaving room for the cleaning, you want a regular round. The same cleaner, the same morning or afternoon, weekly or fortnightly. They learn your home over the first couple of visits:
- which cupboard the bin bags live in
- whether you want the bed stripped on a Thursday
- that the dog is fine but barks at the hoover
After a month it runs itself, and you come home to a clean house without thinking about it.
We keep one cleaner on each home on purpose. Sending a different stranger every week is how things get missed and how people stop trusting the key under their mat.
A one-off clean
A one-off is a different beast. You book it for a reason:
- a tenancy viewing coming up
- a birthday that left the kitchen in ruins
- your mum visiting and the spare room not touched since Christmas
For that we send a team, get in, and get the whole place done in one go. It is charged at £26 per cleaner per hour, with a minimum of two cleaners for three hours plus a £30 kit charge, so it starts at £186.
When the deep clean is for the end of a tenancy rather than just a tidy-up, the move-out job has its own checklist and guarantee, which you can read about on our page for end of tenancy cleaning in Harrow.
We keep one cleaner on each home on purpose.
Plenty of Harrow households use both over a year. A fortnightly cleaner most of the time, then a one-off team in before the family descends at Christmas. That is fine. Just tell us which one you want and we will price it honestly.
The homes we clean here
Harrow is mostly houses, and the houses are mostly between eighty and a hundred and twenty years old. That shapes the work more than people expect.
- The lower slopes of the Hill
- The streets running off them, down through the South Hill Avenue and Mount Park conservation areas, are full of solid Edwardian and Victorian semis with high ceilings, picture rails and original floors. Lovely to look at, slow to clean, because cornicing holds dust and old sash windows have ledges that a quick wipe never reaches.
- West Harrow and the roads around Roxborough Park
- These lean more towards the 1930s semi, the bay-fronted kind with a tiled hall and a back kitchen that always needs the most time.
- Around Station Road and College Road
- Closer in, by the town centre, there are purpose-built flats and newer blocks where the job is tighter and quicker but parking is the headache instead.
We clean all of it. A period house and a town-centre flat are not the same job, and we do not pretend they are when we quote you.
A bigger, older house simply needs more hours to do right, so we are honest about that up front rather than rushing it and leaving the skirting boards grey.
The limescale problem in HA1
This one is local and it is real. Harrow sits on chalk, and the water is hard.
- Supplier
- Affinity Water supplies the area.
- Grade
- Very hard, at roughly 363 milligrams of calcium carbonate per litre, which you can check on the Affinity Water hardness page.
In plain terms:
- your kettle furs up in weeks
- the shower screen goes cloudy
- a chalky white film keeps coming back on taps and tiles no matter how often you wipe
It is the single most common thing Harrow customers point at when they show us round.
- On a regular round
- The cleaner stays ahead of it. Taps, glass and tiles get treated every visit, so the build-up never gets a grip.
- On a one-off
- We set aside proper time to take the bathroom back to clean, which on a neglected shower can be most of an hour on its own.
We do not use anything that will pit chrome or etch glass, because the cheap descalers that do the job fastest also wreck the surfaces, and an old Harrow bathroom is not the place to find that out.
How we work, and who turns up
We are a small firm, not an app that texts you a different gig worker each week. Monster Cleaning Ltd has been trading since 2014, with our office at 75 Shakespeare Avenue, Feltham, TW14 9HU.
Everyone we send is:
- interviewed in person
- checked for the right to work
- tried out before they ever hold a customer key
Customers rate us 4.7 out of 5 on Google. Same cleaner, fair price. That is the whole promise.

Booking, parking and keys
Booking takes three steps
- Your postcode and the property. The form gives the price.
- A date that suits you. Seven days a week.
- We confirm it with you by phone or WhatsApp.
0333 555 2076 · 8am to 7pm
Booking is a phone call or an email, not a ten-screen form. Ring us on 0333 555 2076 or email office@monstercleaning.com and tell us:
- your postcode
- roughly how big the place is
- whether you want weekly, fortnightly or a one-off
We will give you a straight price and a slot. For a regular round we like to do the first visit while you are in, so the cleaner can be shown round and you can say what matters to you.
Parking
Parking is worth a word, because in central Harrow it genuinely affects things.
- Controlled zones
- A good slice of the town centre and the roads around it fall inside a controlled parking zone.
- A new scheme
- The council brought in a new experimental scheme around Victor Road and Wealdstone from January 2026, so the rules differ from one street to the next.
- Your road
- You can look it up on the Harrow Council controlled parking zones page. If your street needs a visitor permit we will tell you straight away.
- By bus
- On the tighter roads near St Ann’s Road and the station, the cleaner will often just come in on the bus, since the 183, 186, 258 and H17 all run through the town centre and most of our rounds there are a short walk from a stop.
Keys
Keys are simple. Most of our regulars leave a key with us or fit a small key safe by the door, so they do not have to be home.
- We log every key.
- We hold it only with your written permission.
- We hand it straight back the day you stop.
If you would rather be in for every clean, that is fine too. Either way, you can also read about our oven cleaning in Harrow and carpet cleaning in Harrow if you want those done at the same time as a clean.
Frequently asked questions
How much is domestic cleaning in Harrow?
Regular cleaning is £23 per cleaner per hour on a weekly visit and £24 fortnightly. A typical 3-hour weekly clean works out at £69. A one-off clean is a separate service done by a small team at £26 per cleaner per hour, with a minimum of two cleaners for three hours plus a £30 kit charge, so it starts at £186. No call-out fee.
Do I get the same cleaner every week?
Yes. On a regular round we keep the same cleaner on your home, so they learn where things go and how you like it. If they are ever off sick or on holiday we tell you first and send someone we trust to cover, rather than leaving you with a locked door and no clean.
What is the difference between a regular clean and a one-off?
A regular clean is a retainer: the same person, same slot, weekly or fortnightly, billed per cleaner per hour. A one-off is a standalone deep job, at least two cleaners for three hours, charged at £26 per cleaner per hour plus a £30 kit charge, so it starts at £186. People book the one-off before a viewing, after a party, or when family are coming to stay.
Which parts of Harrow do you cover?
All of HA1 and the streets around it. We clean homes on the lower slopes below Harrow on the Hill, the 1930s semis around West Harrow and Roxborough, the flats off Station Road and College Road in the town centre, and out towards Greenhill and Wealdstone. If you are near Harrow-on-the-Hill station we are almost certainly already on your street most weeks.
Do I need to provide cleaning products and a hoover?
For a regular weekly or fortnightly clean, yes, we ask you to keep your own hoover and the products you prefer at home, because most people are particular about what goes on their worktops and floors. For a one-off team clean we bring our own kit. If you would rather we supplied everything on a regular round, just ask and we will sort it.
Can you deal with the limescale in this area?
We are well used to it. Harrow tap water runs about 363 mg per litre of calcium carbonate, which Affinity Water grades as very hard, so kettles fur up and shower screens cloud over fast. On a regular clean we keep on top of taps, glass and tiles every visit. For a one-off we descale the bathroom properly as part of the job.
How do I pay, and is there a contract?
Bank transfer after each clean for regular work, or before the visit for a one-off, whichever suits. There is no contract and no notice period on a regular round. If you want to pause for a holiday or stop altogether, a quick message is all we need. We would rather keep you because the clean is good than because you are tied in.
Can you add ironing to the visit?
Yes. Ironing is £12 an hour on top of the cleaning time. Tell us roughly how big the pile usually is and we will book a sensible amount of time so the cleaner is not rushing the last few shirts. Plenty of our Harrow regulars have the cleaner do an hour of ironing while the wash dries.
Do I have to be home when the cleaner comes?
No, and most of our regulars are not. They leave a key with us or fit a key safe by the door, which is common on the busier roads near the town centre where parking is tight and nobody wants to be waiting in. Everyone on the team is vetted and we only hold keys with your written say-so.
Where can the cleaner park on my road?
It depends on your street. A good part of central Harrow sits inside a controlled parking zone, and the council ran a new experimental scheme around Victor Road and Wealdstone from January 2026, so permit rules shift street to street. If your road needs a visitor permit we will let you know, and on tight roads near St Ann’s Road the cleaner will usually come by bus or on foot anyway.
