Nobody in Shoreditch is short of something to do on a Saturday; the flat just keeps losing the vote. A regular cleaner at £22 an hour keeps the loft dust, the shower glass and the floors of a busy flat under control while you’re at work or, this being Shoreditch, working three steps from the sink.
Last updated July 2026. Prices and the areas we cover are checked each season, so what you read here is what you pay.
Domestic cleaning in Shoreditch is £22 an hour for weekly visits, £24 an hour fortnightly, and £26 an hour for a one-off with a £67 minimum.
What domestic cleaning costs in Shoreditch
Weekly visits are £22 an hour. Fortnightly is £24. A one-off clean, the kind you book before your parents visit or after a party earns its name, is £26 an hour with a £67 minimum, which buys a bit over two and a half hours. Ironing is £12 an hour when you add it to a visit, and plenty of regulars do.
How many hours does a flat need? A one-bed usually settles at two to three hours a week, and a shared three-bed with two bathrooms wants more like four. We suggest a number when you book, and it firms up once the cleaner has seen the real flat rather than the phone description of it.
The rate is the rate. No sign-up offer that expires the moment you’ve settled in, no admin fee bolted on in month two. We’d rather keep a client for three years than win them for three weeks.
What the cleaner actually does
The core of every visit is the same: kitchen surfaces and the outside of the appliances, the bathroom done properly including the shower glass, floors throughout, dusting at eye level and below, bins out, and the bed changed if you leave fresh linen on it. Beyond that core, the hours are yours to direct. Leave a note asking for the inside of the fridge or the skirting boards, and that’s where the time goes.
What a regular clean is not is a deep clean of everything every week. Three hours is three hours. The approach that works is rotation: the cleaner holds the baseline, then takes one extra target each visit, the oven front this week, window sills the next, so the flat never drifts. The main domestic cleaning service page lists everything the visits can cover if you want to read it first.
One ask from our side: leave the surfaces reachable. Ten minutes of your tidying buys thirty minutes of our cleaning, and at £22 an hour that’s decent arithmetic.

The homes we clean here
The warehouse conversions off Curtain Road and around the Tea Building are beautiful and dusty, and those two facts are related. Exposed brick sheds fine grit, open shelving collects it, and the double-height windows light every particle up at about four in the afternoon. Lofts also mean mezzanines and ledges you stopped seeing years ago; our cleaners bring the reach for them.
Live/work units, survivors of the nineties planning experiment that first filled the old furniture buildings, have a rhythm of their own. When your desk, sofa and cooker share one room, mess has nowhere to hide and neither do you, because the flat is your office backdrop from nine to six. A weekly visit resets the whole stage in one go.
The new-builds toward Old Street and the towers near the roundabout hold the opposite problem: small, sealed and warm, where a week’s dust shows fast on grey floors and the shower screens fur up quickly, since London water carries close to 300 ppm of dissolved chalk. Around Arnold Circus, the Boundary Estate’s mansion blocks, council-built in 1900 and older than every trend that has washed over this postcode since, are solid flats that clean up well; the stairs are the workout.
Flats above the bars deserve their own line. Living over Rivington Street or Great Eastern Street means noise you’ve learned to sleep through and a film of street grime on the sills that renews itself every weekend. We wipe it away on schedule, which is the only way to beat something that regular.
Weekly, fortnightly or one-off
Weekly at £22 an hour is the steady state. The flat never gets ahead of you, and it’s our lowest rate because a predictable slot is worth money to us. Fortnightly at £24 suits tidy couples and people who travel; it holds a flat well, though floors and bathrooms drift more between visits and the first hour works harder for it.
One-offs at £26 an hour with the £67 minimum are for occasions: before the letting photos, after the party, ahead of a visit from someone with opinions, or the February moment when the whole flat suddenly annoys you. Book the hours you want and point us at the worst of it.
Which to pick? If cleaning keeps losing to your calendar, weekly. If the flat is basically fine and you want insurance, fortnightly. If it’s one bad weekend, a one-off. And if you’re leaving the flat for good, that’s a separate service with its own page: end of tenancy cleaning in Shoreditch.
Keys, products and the same cleaner
We aim to send the same cleaner every time, because the tenth visit is better than the first. By then they know which hob catches, where the hoover lives and what you’re fussy about. When holiday or illness forces a swap, we send cover and tell you in advance rather than leaving you to work it out from the different footsteps.
Most regulars hand over a key or a fob after the first visit or two. Keys are logged and tagged with a code rather than your address, and the office tracks who holds what. Video-doorbell handovers work fine as well; half of Shoreditch answers the door from a phone anyway.
Products and the hoover are usually yours, which keeps the rate down and means the flat smells of your things, not ours. No hoover in the flat? Say so when you book and we’ll arrange for one. Flag delicate surfaces up front, oiled worktops, brass taps, the polished concrete some conversions love, so nothing meets a product that’s wrong for it.
Access is the other thing worth settling early. The newer towers near Old Street mostly have a concierge who’ll sign a cleaner in; the warehouse buildings tend to have a door code and a knack. Either works. We just need to know which one we’re dealing with before the first visit.
Who we are and how to book
The company behind the cleaner is Monster Cleaning Ltd, Companies House number 9919639, working across London since 2014 from 255 Upper Richmond Road West, SW14 8QS. Our Trustpilot sits at 3.1 from 128 reviews, and we’d sooner show you that number with our replies underneath than buy a wall of stars. Regulars staying with us for years is the review we actually work for.
Call 0333 555 2076 or email [email protected] with your postcode, the size of the flat and how often you’d like us. We’ll suggest hours, confirm the rate in writing and set a first visit. We cover all of Shoreditch and Hoxton, EC2A and E2 and the fringes on both sides.
If you want the place properly reset before the routine starts, we can pair the first visit with carpet cleaning in Shoreditch or oven cleaning in Shoreditch, one firm and one arrangement, and the weekly cleaner inherits a flat worth maintaining.
Frequently asked questions
How much does domestic cleaning cost in Shoreditch?
£22 an hour for weekly visits, £24 an hour fortnightly, and £26 an hour for one-offs with a £67 minimum. Ironing is £12 an hour when you add it to a visit. The rate you agree at the start is the rate, with no joining fee and nothing that expires.
How many hours a week do I need?
Most one-bed flats settle at two to three hours a week; bigger shared places want four or more. Fortnightly visits run a little longer because there’s more to catch up on. Start from our suggestion, see how the first visit lands, and we’ll trim or add hours from there.
Will I get the same cleaner each visit?
That’s the aim and the norm. The same person learns your flat and your preferences, which is where most of the value of a regular clean lives. When holiday or illness means a swap, we tell you before the visit rather than after, and the notes on your flat travel with the job.
Do I need to be home during the clean?
No, and most regulars aren’t. After the first visit or two, people usually hand over a key or a fob code; keys are logged and tagged without your address on them. Working from home through the visit is fine too, plenty of live/work tenants do, and the cleaner will keep clear of your calls.
Who supplies the products and the hoover?
Usually you do, which keeps the hourly rate down and the flat smelling like itself. If you’d rather we bring supplies, or there’s no hoover in the flat, say so when booking and we’ll sort something out. Mention fussy surfaces up front, oiled wood, brass, bare concrete, and we’ll match products to them.
What does a one-off clean cover?
Whatever you point it at, £26 an hour with a £67 minimum. Most one-offs are a hard pass over the kitchen and bathroom plus floors and dust everywhere, or the aftermath of a party or building work. Give us a priority order and we’ll work down the list until the time is spent.
Can I skip weeks or stop without a penalty?
Yes. Skip a visit when you’re away, add hours before guests, or stop altogether; none of it needs a form or a fee. A couple of days’ notice by phone or email lets us re-plan the cleaner’s day, and everything stays friendly.
Do you clean flatshares?
Yes, and Shoreditch being Shoreditch, a good share of our regulars are exactly that: three or four housemates splitting the cost of a weekly visit. Divided four ways it costs less than a round on Curtain Road, and it retires the cleaning rota argument for good. One person holds the arrangement and the flat notes; everyone gets the benefit.
