Some of our Putney regulars are families out by the Dover House estate, some are couples in the riverside blocks who are both gone by eight for Waterloo, and a few are rowers who see more of the Embankment at six in the morning than their own kitchen. All of them come home to a clean house they did not clean.
Last updated July 2026. Prices and the areas we cover are checked each season, so what you read here is what you pay.
Weekly domestic cleaning in Putney is £23 an hour, fortnightly is £24, and a one-off team clean is £26 per cleaner per hour, from £186. Ironing is £12 an hour.
Hourly rates, and what they buy
Weekly visits are £23 an hour, and the rate is the rate.
- Weekly
- £23 an hour
- Fortnightly
- £24 an hour, a touch more because the house has had two weeks to get on with itself
- One-off clean
- A team job at £26 per cleaner per hour, at least two cleaners for three hours plus a £30 kit charge, so from £186
- Ironing
- £12 an hour whenever you want it added to a visit
Most Putney regulars settle on three hours a week for a family house, two to two and a half for a flat. That is a pattern, not a package we push.
Tell us the budget and we will say honestly what fits inside it. Some weeks that is the whole house; other weeks it is the kitchen, both bathrooms and the floors done properly while the dusting waits.
No contracts:
- pause for the summer holiday
- add hours before your in-laws land
- stop with a few days’ notice
Not sure how many hours the place needs? Book a first visit at the one-off rate and let the cleaner tell you what the house honestly takes. Regulars switch to the weekly or fortnightly rate from the second visit on.
What a regular clean covers
The default is the clean you would do yourself if a free afternoon existed:
- kitchen surfaces and floor
- bathrooms scrubbed and dried off
- hoovering through, hard floors mopped
- dusting in the rooms you actually live in
- bins out
- bed linen changed when it is left out
- inside the fridge or a cupboard whenever you ask
Your list beats our default every time. Plenty of households keep a notebook on the counter and the cleaner works it top to bottom; some lists say nothing but ‘floors, bathrooms, and do not move the candles’. That is the level of say you get, and it is yours to change week by week.
What we do not do:
- outside windows above ground level
- gutters
- anything needing more ladder than a step stool
A cleaner is not a removal firm either. If the spare room is currently a furniture depot, it gets a sensible once-over rather than an excavation.
Who books a cleaner in Putney
Four kinds of household make up most of our Putney round.
- Families first
- West Putney and the cottage streets around the Dover House estate are full of households where both adults work and the garden door functions mainly as a dog flap for children. Those homes book weekly, usually while everyone is out at school and office.
- Commuters next
- From East Putney station or the mainline into Waterloo the working day starts early and ends late, and paying £23 an hour to get Saturday morning back is the easiest sum in London. The riverside flats at Putney Wharf and around Brewhouse Lane are classic fortnightly territory: not much mess, but nobody home to deal with it either.
- Then the rowers
- Putney Embankment holds more than twenty rowing clubs, and a household that is on the water at six keeps odd hours and a hallway full of kit. We have cleaned around drying all-in-ones on more radiators than we can count.
- The mansion flats up Putney Hill
- People here tend to want the same visit at the same time for years, from a cleaner they know by name. That suits us. Our longest-standing arrangements are exactly that shape.
Same cleaner, your keys, your rules
You get one cleaner, not a rotating cast, and the clean gets quicker and better for it.
The same person learns:
- which floorboard creaks
- which mug is the good mug
- how you like the towels folded
When they are on holiday we offer a cover cleaner or a skipped week. Your choice, and never a stranger by surprise.
- Vetting
- Every cleaner is interviewed in person, reference-checked and insured before they ever hold a key.
- Keys
- Key-holding is routine here, since most clients are out when we come. Keys are coded, never labelled with an address, and the office logs who holds what.
- Your slot
- Cleaners keep the same day and time each week, so you always know when the house will be done. If a slot ever has to move, the office rings you first rather than leaving you to find out from a confused dog.
- The office
- You get the number with a human on the end of it.
If something is ever not right, say so plainly. Twelve years of this has taught us that the awkward conversation now beats the quiet cancellation later.
One-off and deeper cleans
Not everything fits a schedule. That is the one-off team clean, £26 per cleaner per hour and from £186, and you set the priorities.
People book one:
- before a landlord inspection
- after a kitchen refit has left dust on every shelf you own
- ahead of a christening lunch
- when the family flies back after a term away
After-party cleans exist too. We do not judge, we just bring more bin bags.
Bathrooms are where London’s hard water earns its reputation, and a one-off is the visit where the limescale comes off shower screens and chrome properly instead of being chased a little each week.
Describe the state of things honestly when you book and we will suggest the hours. You can cap them, and we work to the cap.
Tell us the budget and we will say honestly what fits inside it.
A one-off does not include the carpets or the inside of the oven. Those are separate trades with their own machines, and the links below go to the Putney pages for both.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a cleaner cost in Putney?
£23 an hour for weekly visits, £24 an hour fortnightly, and £26 per cleaner per hour for a one-off team clean, from £186 for two cleaners for three hours including the £30 kit charge. Ironing is £12 an hour. There are no contracts and nothing to pay for pausing or stopping.
Weekly or fortnightly, which makes sense?
Weekly suits family houses, pets and anyone who cooks properly every night. Fortnightly suits flats where the mess is mostly dust and bathrooms, which covers a lot of the riverside blocks. If you are torn, start fortnightly; upgrading is one phone call.
Will I get the same cleaner every time?
Yes, that is the point of the service. The same person comes each visit, so the clean improves as they learn the house. Holiday cover is a stand-in you approve first, or we skip the week if you would rather nobody unfamiliar came in.
Do I need to be home during the clean?
Most clients are not. We hold keys for the bulk of our Putney regulars; every key is coded with no address attached, and cleaners are referenced and insured before they hold one. If you would rather be in, be in. Either works.
Do you bring the cleaning products?
Whichever you prefer. Many clients keep their own under the sink, especially where there are strong views about what touches the worktop, and the cleaner can bring a standard kit instead. The hoover and mop are usually yours, because lugging a hoover onto the 22 at Putney Common helps nobody.
Do you do ironing?
Yes, at £12 an hour, folded into a regular visit or booked as its own block. Shirts for the week, school uniform, bedding if you are that way inclined. Point at the pile, say how you like things done, and it stops being your problem.
What is the minimum booking?
One-off cleans are a team job with a minimum of two cleaners for three hours at £26 per cleaner per hour, plus a £30 kit charge, so they start at £186. Regular visits are three hours or more a time; under that, travel eats the value and we will not sell you a clean that cannot succeed.
Which parts of Putney do you cover?
All of SW15: the Embankment and the riverside developments, the terraces off the Lower Richmond Road, East Putney, Putney Hill and its mansion blocks, West Putney and the Dover House estate, and up to the Heath. Just over a border, in Roehampton or by Wandsworth Park? Ask. The answer is usually yes.
