A regular clean in Paddington tends to mean one of two things: a pied-a-terre near the station that its owner wants ready between visits, or a family flat toward Little Venice where nobody has an afternoon spare to keep on top of it. We send the same cleaner each week, at a fixed hourly rate you agree before anyone sets foot in the flat.
Last updated July 2026. Prices and the areas we cover are checked each season, so what you read here is what you pay.
Regular cleaning is £22 an hour weekly, £24 an hour fortnightly, and a one-off deep clean is £26 an hour with a £67 minimum, while ironing on top is £12 an hour, all agreed before we start.
What domestic cleaning costs in Paddington
The rate depends on how often we come. A weekly clean is £22 an hour. Drop to fortnightly and it is £24 an hour, because a flat left a second week takes a little more doing each time. A one-off, whether a spring clean or a flat you want blitzed before guests arrive, is £26 an hour with a £67 minimum, which covers the cost of sending someone across town for a short job.
Ironing, if you want it, is £12 an hour on top and the cleaner does it inside the same visit rather than as a separate trip. Most Paddington flats we clean weekly land somewhere between two and three hours a visit, but a studio near the station can be less and a family flat off Warwick Avenue more; we work out the hours with you once we know the place.
No joining fee and no tie-in. If the weekly slot stops working you tell us and we stop. What we quote is the hourly rate you pay, not a headline figure that grows once the cleaner is through the door.
The same cleaner, every visit
We send you the same person each week wherever we can, and it is the part of the job that matters most to the people who book it. A cleaner who has done your flat before knows you like the bed made a certain way, knows the good glasses go on the high shelf, and does not need re-telling every visit. You are also handing a key to someone you have met, not a different face off a rota each week.
If your regular cleaner is off sick or on holiday we will tell you and offer a cover cleaner rather than just not turning up. You can say no and skip the week; plenty of people do. We would rather be straight with you about who is coming than send a stranger and hope you do not notice.
You are handing a key to someone you have met, not a different face off a rota each week.
Our cleaners are employed and insured, not day-labour we found that morning. That matters more in a block with a concierge and a signing-in book than most people expect, because the front desk wants to know who is going up to your flat, and we can tell them.
Pied-a-terre flats and keyholding near the station
A good slice of the flats near Paddington station are not lived in full time. They are pied-a-terre places for owners who are in London a few nights a month, or a base near the Heathrow Express for people whose work is really somewhere else. A flat like that does not want cleaning every week; it wants to be fresh and aired for the day the owner walks back in, and kept ticking over the rest of the time.
We work to that. Tell us your dates and we clean ahead of your arrival, run the taps so the water is not standing, open the place up and make the bed, so you come back to a flat that smells lived-in rather than shut-up. Between visits we can hold a key, take in a delivery that has been sitting with the concierge, and flag anything that looks wrong before it becomes a problem.
Keys we log and label without your name or address on the fob, and only the office and your cleaner know which flat a key opens. If a building runs a signing-in book or a fob system at the door, tell us how it works and we will fit in with it rather than ringing you every time from the lobby.
Family flats toward Little Venice
Head north from the station toward Warwick Avenue and Little Venice and the flats get more lived-in: families in the mansion blocks and the upper maisonettes of the stucco terraces, two working parents, children, and no spare afternoon to keep the place straight. This is the other half of what we do, and it is a different job from the pied-a-terre work.
A family flat wants the clean built around real life. The kitchen after breakfast, the bathroom the children share, the hall that takes buggy wheels and canal-path mud off the towpath by Blomfield Road. We fit the visit around the school run and the nap, work to the rooms you actually care about, and skip the ones you would rather we left. If one week the kitchen needs the time more than the spare room does, we put it there.
A family flat wants the clean built around real life: the kitchen after breakfast, the bathroom the children share, the hall that takes buggy wheels and towpath mud.
We use your products if you would rather, which parents with young children and allergies often do, or we bring our own. Just tell the cleaner what is off limits, the cupboard the cleaning things live in, and anything the children are sensitive to, and it gets noted for every visit after.
What a regular clean covers
A standard visit is the whole flat kept properly: kitchen surfaces, hob and sink degreased and wiped, the bathroom and any en-suite scrubbed and the taps and tiles kept clear, floors vacuumed and mopped, beds made or changed if you leave the linen out, and a dust and tidy through the living rooms and bedrooms. Bins out, mirrors and glass done, skirtings and sills as the time allows.
What we do not do as part of a normal clean is the heavy one-off stuff: the inside of the oven, a carpet that needs extraction, windows on the outside above the ground floor. Those we can still sort, just as separate jobs. If the oven has gone past a wipe that is a proper oven clean, and a tired carpet is a carpet clean rather than something to fix with a mop.
Tell us at the start which jobs matter most to you and we build the visit around them. A cleaner with a fixed two hours does the things you care about first, so the time goes where you want it rather than on a room you barely use.
Who we are
Monster Cleaning Ltd, Companies House number 9919639, cleaning across London since 2014, based at 255 Upper Richmond Road West, SW14 8QS. We have been sending regular cleaners into W2 flats, from lock-up-and-leave studios by the station to family maisonettes near the canal, for years.
Our Trustpilot sits at 3.1 out of 5 across 128 reviews, and we will not pretty that up. Some of those are people we let down, and we would rather you saw the honest number and our replies to it than a staged five-star wall. A regular clean is a relationship, so when something is off you tell your cleaner or the office and we sort it, not next month, that week.
Booking more than a regular clean? We also do carpet cleaning in Paddington and oven cleaning in Paddington, so one firm covers the lot. The wider domestic cleaning service page explains how the regular visits work.

We cover the whole of Paddington: the flats around the station and Praed Street, the stucco terraces of Westbourne Terrace and Sussex Gardens, the mansion blocks and maisonettes toward Warwick Avenue and Little Venice, and the new flats at Merchant Square, roughly the W2 postcode.

Frequently asked questions
How much does domestic cleaning cost in Paddington?
A weekly clean is £22 an hour, fortnightly is £24 an hour, and a one-off is £26 an hour with a £67 minimum. Ironing on top is £12 an hour, done inside the same visit. Most weekly Paddington flats need somewhere between two and three hours, and we work the hours out with you once we know the place.
Do I get the same cleaner every time?
Wherever we can, yes, and it is the part people value most. A cleaner who has done your flat before knows how you like things and does not need re-telling each week, and you are handing a key to someone you have met. If they are off sick or on holiday we tell you and offer a cover cleaner, and you can skip the week instead.
Can you clean a pied-a-terre while I am away and hold a key?
Yes, this is a lot of what we do near the station. Tell us your dates and we clean ahead of your arrival, run the taps, air the flat and make the bed. Between visits we can hold a key, take in a delivery from the concierge and flag anything wrong. Keys are logged and labelled without your name or address on the fob.
Will you fit around a family with young children?
Yes. We build the visit around real life: the kitchen after breakfast, the bathroom the children share, the hall that takes buggy wheels and towpath mud. We work around the school run and the nap, and we use your own products if you would rather, which parents with allergies often do. Just tell the cleaner what is off limits.
What does a regular clean actually include?
The whole flat kept properly: kitchen surfaces, hob and sink degreased, the bathroom scrubbed and the taps and tiles kept clear, floors vacuumed and mopped, beds made or changed if you leave the linen out, and a dust and tidy through the rooms. Bins, mirrors, glass, skirtings and sills as the time allows.
What is not included in a standard clean?
The heavy one-off jobs: the inside of the oven, a carpet that needs hot-water extraction, and outside windows above the ground floor. We can still do all of those as separate bookings. If the oven is past a wipe we point you at a proper oven clean, and a tired carpet is a carpet clean rather than a job for the mop.
Are your cleaners insured, and can they sign in at a concierge?
Yes. Our cleaners are employed and insured, not day-labour hired that morning, which matters in a Paddington block with a concierge and a signing-in book. The front desk wants to know who is going up to your flat, and because we send the same named person we can tell them.
Is there a contract or a joining fee?
No joining fee and no tie-in. If the weekly or fortnightly slot stops working for you, tell us and we stop. The rate you agree at the start is the hourly rate you pay, with nothing added once the cleaner is through the door.
What areas of Paddington do you cover?
All of it. The flats around the station and Praed Street, the stucco terraces of Westbourne Terrace and Sussex Gardens, the mansion blocks and maisonettes toward Warwick Avenue and Little Venice, and the new flats at Merchant Square. If you are roughly in the W2 postcode we cover you. Ring us if you are not sure.
How do I book a regular clean?
Call 0333 555 2076 or email [email protected] with your postcode, roughly how big the flat is, and whether you want weekly, fortnightly or a one-off. We work out the hours with you, give a fixed hourly rate, match you with a cleaner and set a regular day. You can change or pause it whenever you need to.
