Most of our Hounslow regulars are a three-hour clean every Friday, while the cleaner the home already knows works through the kitchen and bathroom in the order the household actually uses them.
Last updated April 2026. Prices below are per cleaner per hour, with no VAT and no call-out charge.
Domestic cleaning in Hounslow starts from £22 an hour, the same cleaner kept on your home, weekly or fortnightly across TW3.
That sentence is the short answer. The rest of this page is the detail: what the two services actually cost, how the regular cleaner arrangement works, and the local quirks that make cleaning a Hounslow home its own particular job.
We are Monster Cleaning Ltd, Companies House number 9919639, cleaning London homes since 2014. Our office is at 255 Upper Richmond Road West, SW14 8QS, a straight run east along the A316. We hold a 3.1 out of 5 rating on Trustpilot across 128 reviews, which is honest rather than glossy, and every regular clean comes with a re-clean guarantee: if something is missed, we come back and put it right.
Regular domestic cleaning, the same cleaner kept on your home
This is our main service and the one most Hounslow households want. You get one cleaner, kept on your home, on a regular round. Not a rota of strangers. The same person who learns that the spare-room door sticks, that you would rather the kettle stayed where it is, and that the bins go out on a Wednesday.
On a weekly round the rate is £22 per cleaner per hour. Go fortnightly and it is £24 per cleaner per hour, because a fortnightly home has two weeks of dust to shift and simply takes longer per visit to bring back to the same standard. There is no VAT added to either figure and no call-out charge. The price you read is the price you pay.
A typical weekly booking is three hours, which comes to £66. A fortnightly clean usually runs two to three hours, so £48 to £72 depending on the size of the home and how much you want done. Most two-bed flats around Lampton Road land in the middle of that. A larger 1930s semi out towards Heston tends to want the full three.
What gets done is up to you, and we would rather you told us your priorities than guessed. Kitchens and bathrooms first, as a rule. Floors, surfaces, dusting, the inside of the microwave, beds changed if you leave the linen out. If you care more about the bathroom than the spare room, say so, and your regular cleaner will spend the time where it matters to you.
We pay our cleaners properly and we keep them, which is the whole point. A cleaner who is treated well stays, and a cleaner who stays gets to know your home. That is why we do not run the cheap churn model where the rate looks tempting and the face is different every fortnight.

Keys are kept securely and only ever held with your say-so. Plenty of our Hounslow clients are out at work when we clean, so we let ourselves in, do the job, and lock up. If you would rather be home the first few times until you trust the arrangement, that is completely normal and we expect it.
If you want the full picture of how the regular service runs across the capital, our domestic cleaning overview covers it in more depth.
One-off and deep cleans, done by a team
A one-off clean is a different service. Do not confuse it with the regular round above, because it is priced and staffed differently and aimed at a different job.
Where the regular service is one cleaner on a retainer, a one-off is a team. Usually about two cleaners for three hours, working in parallel, so a deep clean that would take one person most of a day gets done in a single visit. The rate is £26 per cleaner per hour with a £67 minimum charge. Two cleaners for three hours, as an example, is the sort of booking people take before a landlord inspection or when a flat has been let go for a while.
People book the one-off for a handful of reasons. A spring clean. A flat handed back by guests. A home before the in-laws visit, or after a renovation when there is plaster dust in places you did not know dust could reach. It is a deep, top-to-bottom job rather than weekly maintenance, so the team gets into the oven racks, the skirting, behind what can be moved, the lot.
It works well as a one-time thing, and it also works as a starting point. A fair few clients book a one-off deep clean to get the home to a baseline, then drop onto a regular weekly or fortnightly round to keep it there. That is often the cheapest way to do it over a year, because maintenance is quicker than rescue.
If you are moving out and need the place returned to a letting agent standard, that is a separate job again with its own checklist, and you want our end of tenancy cleaning in Hounslow rather than a domestic one-off.
Ironing and the extras worth knowing about
Ironing is the add-on people ask for most. We charge £12 per hour for it, on top of the cleaning time, so a three-hour clean with an hour of ironing built in is straightforward to work out. Tell us when you book and your cleaner brings it into the visit rather than rushing the clean to fit it in.
Two honest notes on ironing. First, it eats time fast, so a basket of shirts can be an hour on its own. Second, if you want a lot of it done regularly, it is worth adding a dedicated slot rather than squeezing it into a tight clean, because something has to give otherwise and it should not be the bathroom.
We bring our own kit and products as standard. If you have a surface that needs a particular product, a stone worktop or a treated wood floor, leave it out and tell the cleaner, and we use yours on it. We would rather use your bottle than guess and mark something.
Two services, one idea.
Keep the cleaner, keep the standard.
What cleaning a Hounslow home is actually like
Hounslow throws up a few things that a cleaner who has never worked the area would miss, and they are worth saying plainly because they change how a home should be cleaned.
The water is the big one. Hounslow sits in the Thames Water supply, which is very hard, somewhere around 280 milligrams of calcium carbonate per litre off the chalk under the Thames Valley. In practice that means limescale builds fast on taps, kettles, shower screens and around the base of mixer taps, and a quick wipe does not touch it. Your regular cleaner descales those spots properly on a rota so it never gets to the cement-hard stage, which is one of the most useful things about keeping the same person on the home.
Then there is the air. A lot of Hounslow sits under the Heathrow approach, three tube stops down the Piccadilly line from the airport, and between the aircraft above and the traffic on the A4 and the High Street, window sills and the tops of skirting boards collect a fine grey dust faster than they would in a quieter part of London. Sills near a front window in TW3 want doing more often than you would expect. If the soft furnishings are holding that grime rather than the sills, that is a job in its own right, and our carpet cleaning in Hounslow team deal with the carpets and rugs that trap it.
The housing stock varies a lot across the borough, and the clean varies with it. The 1930s semis around Heston and Osterley have the original picture rails and deep skirting that need a careful dust, not a quick swipe. The Victorian and Edwardian terraces nearer the centre have the high ceilings and cornicing that hold cobwebs out of arm’s reach. And the new flats going up around the High Street Quarter and Lampton Parkside, part of the wave of new homes built around the town centre over the last decade, are easy to keep but show every smear on all that fresh glass and gloss. We clean all three. We just clean them differently.
Parking is usually fine on the residential streets off Lampton Road, less so right in the town centre near the Treaty Centre where it is permit-controlled and tight. If your home is in a controlled bay, a visitor permit makes the cleaner’s life easier and means none of the slot gets eaten circling the block. Tell us when you book and we plan around it.
For the kitchen specifically, the oven is the one job most people put off until it is genuinely grim. If yours is at that stage, a domestic clean will keep the hob and front respectable, but the inside is a specialist job, and our oven cleaning in Hounslow service strips it back to clean glass.

How the first clean works
Booking is meant to be quick. Call 0333 555 2076 or email [email protected] with your postcode, roughly how big the home is, and whether you want weekly, fortnightly or a one-off. We come back the same working day in almost every case.
We will confirm the rate before anything is booked, so there are no surprises. For a regular round we try to set you up with one cleaner who can keep your day and time, and if that person is ever off sick we tell you and offer a cover cleaner rather than just sending someone unannounced. You are never tied in. If the slot stops suiting you, change it or stop it.
On the first visit, be home if you can. It is the easiest way to walk your cleaner round, point out the priorities, and flag anything fragile or any product you want used on a particular surface. After that, most clients hand over a key or set up a safe way in and let us get on with it.
And if a clean ever falls short, tell us. The re-clean guarantee means we come back and redo whatever was missed at no extra charge, because the regular model only works if you actually trust it.
Frequently asked questions
How much is domestic cleaning in Hounslow?
A regular clean is £22 per cleaner per hour on a weekly round or £24 per cleaner per hour fortnightly, with no VAT and no call-out charge. A three-hour weekly clean is £66 and a fortnightly two to three hour clean is £48 to £72.
Do I get the same cleaner each time?
Yes. The whole point of the regular service is that one cleaner is kept on your home, so they learn your priorities and your layout. If your cleaner is ever off sick we tell you and offer a cover cleaner rather than sending someone unannounced.
What is the difference between a regular clean and a one-off clean?
A regular clean is one cleaner kept on your home on a weekly or fortnightly retainer for maintenance. A one-off is a different service, done by a team of usually about two cleaners for a deep top-to-bottom clean, charged at £26 per cleaner per hour with a £67 minimum.
How much is a one-off clean in Hounslow?
A one-off clean is £26 per cleaner per hour with a £67 minimum charge. It is usually staffed as about two cleaners for three hours, working in parallel, which suits a spring clean, a post-renovation clean or a flat that has been let go.
Is there VAT or a call-out charge?
No. The hourly rates have no VAT added and there is no call-out charge. The figure you are quoted is the figure you pay.
Can you do my ironing as well?
Yes. Ironing is £12 per hour on top of the cleaning time. Tell us when you book so your cleaner builds it into the visit instead of rushing the clean to fit it in.
Do you bring your own cleaning products?
Yes, we bring our own kit and products as standard. If a surface needs a particular product, such as a stone worktop or a treated wood floor, leave it out and tell the cleaner and we will use yours on it.
Which areas of Hounslow do you cover?
We cover TW3 and the surrounding streets, including Lampton, Heston, Osterley and the roads around the town centre and the Treaty Centre. If you are just outside and not sure, call and ask.
What if I am not happy with the clean?
Every regular clean comes with a re-clean guarantee. If something is missed, tell us and we come back and put it right at no extra charge.
Do I have to sign a contract or be tied in?
No. There is no tie-in. You can change your day, pause, or stop the regular round whenever you need to, and you can start with a one-off clean and move onto a regular slot afterwards if it suits.
Do I need to be home for the clean?
Only if you want to be. Most clients are at work and hand over a key or arrange a safe way in. We recommend being home for the first visit so you can walk the cleaner round and point out your priorities.
