Most of our Chelsea rounds sit in the red-brick mansion blocks off the King’s Road, the kind that climb five or six storeys with a lift that fits two people and a mop if you breathe in. We clean a lot of them every week.
Last updated April 2026. Prices below are per cleaner per hour, no call-out charge.
Here is the short version. We provide regular and one-off domestic cleaning across Kensington and Chelsea from £23 an hour, with the same trusted cleaner kept on your home.
That capsule answers the obvious question. The rest of this page is the detail that actually matters once you live behind one of these stucco fronts: who turns up, what it costs, and why a SW3 flat needs a different rhythm to a new-build out west.

You get one cleaner. The same one, week after week, who learns your home the way a good one always does. They work out:
- that the brass in the hall wants a dry cloth
- that the dog is fine but barks at the vacuum
- that you keep the good glasses on the second shelf and would rather they stayed there
That memory is the whole point, and it is the thing an agency rota can never give you because the person changes every visit.
We are a small London firm, not a marketplace app that sells your job to the lowest bidder. When you call, you speak to our office, and the cleaner we send is one of ours.
A regular visit covers the ordinary run of things:
- Kitchen
- Surfaces, hob, sink, and the front of the units
- Bathrooms
- Top to bottom, including the limescale that central London water leaves on the taps
- Floors
- Hoovered and washed
- Beds
- Changed if you leave fresh linen out
- Dusting
- From the picture rail down
- Bins
- Taken out
Tell us your priorities on day one and the cleaner builds the visit around them.
Ironing is the add-on people ask for most. We can fold it into the visit at £12 per hour on top of the cleaning time, so a cleaner might do two and a half hours cleaning and half an hour on a shirt pile. You decide the split.
We do not lock you into a contract with an exit fee. If it is not working, you tell us and we stop. Most people do not, which is the quiet measure of whether a cleaner is any good.
Regular cleaning and what it costs
Regular domestic cleaning runs on a simple retainer. We keep a cleaner on your home and you keep a slot in their week.
- Weekly round
- £23 per cleaner per hour. Most homes settle on three hours, and a weekly three-hour clean is £69.
- Fortnightly round
- £24 per cleaner per hour, because a fortnightly home has had two weeks to gather dust and takes a touch longer per visit to hold the same standard. If the flat is smaller, a three-hour visit starts at £72 depending on how long you book.
- Call-out charge
- None. The number you are quoted is the number you pay.
- Payment
- Monthly by standing order or bank transfer, whichever suits. We invoice the hours done. Simple.
We would rather you booked the right number of hours than squeezed a four-bed into two and got a rushed job neither of us is proud of.
One thing we will say plainly. We do not run a sliding scale where the rate quietly drops the more hours you buy, and we do not bury overtime in a weekend surcharge. The hourly rate is the hourly rate.
People in this borough have been stung by booking desks that dress up a normal Saturday as a premium, and we are not going to be one of them.

The one-off deep clean is a different service
A one-off clean is not the same job as a regular visit, so it is priced differently. It is a standalone deep clean done by a team, so they can lift a flat in a single morning rather than chipping at it weekly.
- The team
- Usually about two cleaners working together for around three hours. Two cleaners for three hours is the smallest booking.
- The price
- £26 per cleaner per hour plus a £30 kit charge, so it starts at £186, even for a tiny studio.
- The kit
- They bring what a deep clean needs rather than relying on whatever is under your sink.
People book this:
- before a dinner party
- after builders have finally cleared out of a Cadogan Estate refurbishment
- when a guest is coming to stay
- as a spring reset for a home that has been ticking along on lighter visits
It is the right call when you want a flat properly turned over once, not maintained forever.
If you are moving out and need the place handed back to a managing agent’s standard, that is a different job again. For that, see our end of tenancy cleaning in Kensington and Chelsea, which is built around deposit returns rather than day-to-day upkeep.
Want carpets and rugs done at the same time? Our carpet cleaning in Kensington and Chelsea can run alongside a deep clean, and a grimy hob and oven are best handled by the oven cleaning in Kensington and Chelsea team while we do the rest.
Cleaning period homes in Chelsea
Kensington and Chelsea has one of the highest concentrations of conservation areas in the country, and you feel that in the cleaning. The homes are old, ornate, and built to a standard nobody could afford to repeat. They reward a cleaner who slows down.
Three things come up again and again on our SW3 rounds, and a cleaner who has worked the borough knows all three before they walk in:
- Cornicing and picture rails hold dust you cannot see from standing height. We work top down so the muck that falls lands on a floor we have not done yet, then finish the floor last.
- Sash window boxes and the deep reveals on the old stucco terraces collect grime in corners a quick wipe skips. They want a proper going-over, not a swipe.
- Stone and marble hall floors, common in the mansion blocks around Sloane Square and Cheyne Walk, mark and etch if you hit them with the wrong product, so we use a pH-neutral cleaner and skip anything acidic.
The housing stock here is its own thing:
- red-brick mansion flats five and six storeys high on roads like Tite Street and around Elm Park
- cream stucco terraces near the World’s End end of the King’s Road
- mews houses tucked behind the main streets
- period conversions where a single grand house has been split into flats
Each one cleans a little differently, and keeping the same cleaner on yours means they stop relearning it every week. It is detailed work. We like it.

Parking, access, and the SW3 problem
This borough catches a lot of cleaning firms out. The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea does not issue visitor or business parking permits at all. None.
The council keeps the kerb for residents, so a cleaner cannot lean on a permit the way they can in some London boroughs. In practice that leaves two ways in:
- Public transport
- On most regular rounds the cleaner comes this way and you never think about it. The District and Circle lines through Sloane Square and South Kensington cover a lot of our patch, and the buses along the King’s Road cover the rest.
- A pay-by-phone bay
- Where our cleaner has to park in one, we add what it costs to your quote, honestly.
Access is worth settling on day one:
- If your block has a porter or a fob entry, tell us how access works and we sort a routine that does not have your cleaner buzzing up every week.
- If there is a key safe, a concierge, or a neighbour who holds a spare, we work to whatever you already have.
Keeping the same cleaner helps here too, because access becomes second nature instead of a fresh negotiation each visit.

Frequently asked questions
How much is domestic cleaning in Kensington and Chelsea?
Regular cleaning is £23 per cleaner per hour on a weekly round or £24 per cleaner per hour fortnightly, with no call-out charge. A one-off team deep clean is £26 per cleaner per hour, with at least two cleaners for three hours plus a £30 kit charge, so it starts at £186. A weekly three-hour clean works out at £69.
Do I get the same cleaner every week?
Yes. That is the whole idea of our regular service. We keep one cleaner on your home so they learn your priorities, your layout, and your preferences, rather than sending a different stranger each visit the way a marketplace app does.
What is the difference between a regular clean and a one-off clean?
A regular clean is ongoing upkeep by one cleaner on a weekly or fortnightly retainer from £23 an hour. A one-off clean is a standalone deep clean by a team of at least two cleaners for three hours, at £26 per cleaner per hour plus a £30 kit charge, so from £186. They are priced and staffed differently.
Is there a minimum number of hours?
For regular cleaning most homes book around three hours a visit, and we will advise honestly on what your place needs. For a one-off deep clean the smallest booking is two cleaners for three hours plus a £30 kit charge, so it starts at £186, even for a small studio.
Can you do my ironing as well?
Yes. Ironing is an add-on at £12 per hour on top of the cleaning time. Your cleaner can split the visit however you like, for example two and a half hours cleaning and half an hour on the ironing pile.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
No. The hourly rate you are quoted is what you pay. There is no call-out charge, and we do not slip in a weekend surcharge or quietly change the rate by how many hours you book.
How does parking work for your cleaner in SW3?
The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea does not issue visitor or business parking permits, so on regular rounds our cleaner usually comes by public transport using the District and Circle lines or the King’s Road buses. Where driving is needed we use a pay-by-phone bay and tell you the cost upfront.
Are you insured and are the cleaners vetted?
Yes. Monster Cleaning Ltd is insured, and every cleaner is vetted before they work in a customer’s home. We have been trading since 2014.
Do you offer a re-clean guarantee?
Our re-clean guarantee is for end of tenancy cleans only, not regular cleaning. If a visit concerns you, ring 0333 555 2076. Our Google rating is 4.7 out of 5.
Do I have to sign a contract?
No long tie-in and no exit fee. Regular cleaning runs for as long as it suits you, and if it stops working you just tell us and we stop. Most people stay, which is the honest test of whether a cleaner is any good.
Can you clean period features and marble floors safely?
Yes, and it is a big part of the job here. We work top down so dust off the cornicing and picture rails lands before we finish the floors, and we use pH-neutral products on stone and marble so the hall floors common in the mansion blocks near Sloane Square do not etch.
Which areas of Kensington and Chelsea do you cover?
All of it, from Chelsea and the King’s Road through Sloane Square, Cheyne Walk, World’s End, and the streets around South Kensington, up into Kensington itself. If you are in the borough, we cover you.
