Wimbledon runs on a timetable. Out of the door for the fast train to Waterloo, back twelve hours later, weekend swallowed by the supermarket, the Common and a to-do list that always ends with cleaning. We take that last item off the list, from £22 an hour, with the same cleaner coming back each week.
Last updated July 2026. Prices and the areas we cover are checked each season, so what you read here is what you pay.
Weekly cleaning is £22 an hour, fortnightly £24, one-off cleans £26 an hour with a £67 minimum, and ironing runs at £12 an hour alongside.
What domestic cleaning costs by the hour
The rate follows the rhythm. Weekly visits are £22 an hour, because a house cleaned every week never gets far from clean and the work stays light. Fortnightly is £24 an hour, reflecting the extra ground each visit has to cover. A one-off clean, the deep sort people book before a party, after builders, or when a routine has slipped, is £26 an hour with a minimum charge of £67.
Ironing is £12 an hour. Some clients book it as its own slot; most add an hour to the end of the clean and hand over the basket.
How many hours does a place need? As a steer from the houses we already do: a one or two-bed flat around the Broadway sits at two hours weekly, a three-bed terrace at three, and a big family semi out west at three to four. We will give you a firmer number once we have seen the house, and the first visit usually runs longer while we get it up to standard.
What a regular clean covers
We agree a task list on the first visit and then we work it, every time. Kitchen surfaces and the front of the cupboards, the sink descaled rather than just rinsed, floors vacuumed and mopped, bathrooms done properly including the glass, dusting at the heights dust actually gathers, mirrors, skirting boards on rotation. Beds get changed when linen is left out. Bins go out if that is on the list.
A list sounds bureaucratic. It is the opposite. It means the clean does not shrink over the months, and it means you can change the priorities by changing the list rather than having an awkward conversation. Add the inside of the fridge this week, drop the spare room, shift the emphasis to floors during puppy season. Tell the office or leave a note.
The task list means the clean does not shrink over the months, and changing the priorities is as easy as changing the list.
What sits outside the hourly work: carpets need machine extraction and ovens need a strip-down, so both are priced as separate visits rather than squeezed badly into a domestic hour.
Commuter flats, family semis and fortnight hosts
Wimbledon is a commuter town that happens to contain a tennis club, and the housing works shifts. The station puts Waterloo seventeen minutes away, with the District line and the tram besides, so thousands of front doors close at seven in the morning and reopen at seven at night. For those households, mostly the flats around the town centre and the terraces within walking distance of the platforms, we clean while the house is empty and lock up behind ourselves.
The family work looks different. In the Apostles roads and around Grand Drive in Raynes Park, and in the semis of Wimbledon Chase, the calendar is school terms: a weekly clean pegged to the same morning, more hours in December, a deep one-off when term ends and the house finally exhales. Up by the Village and the Common the houses are bigger, the dogs muddier, and the hours reflect both.
And each July, a particular Wimbledon job: households letting their homes for the Championships fortnight, or hosting friends who suddenly remember the connection, want the place guest-ready before arrival and put back together afterwards. We hold slots either side of the fortnight for exactly this.
The same cleaner, the same day each week
Regular cleaning only works when it is genuinely regular. You get one cleaner, a fixed day and a fixed time, and the same person learns the house: which floorboard is loose, which shower screen needs the blade, which room the cat is not allowed in. That knowledge compounds. By the second month the clean is faster and deeper than any first visit could be.
Holidays and illness happen, ours included. When your cleaner is away you choose between a stand-in who has been briefed from the task list or simply skipping the week. What never happens is a random stranger arriving without warning.
Access is the other half of trust. Most clients hand over a key: it is logged, signed for and coded, with nothing on it that identifies your address, and alarm codes live with the office rather than on a keyring. Some prefer to be home for the visit. Both are normal.
Who you are letting into the house
Monster Cleaning Ltd, registered at Companies House under number 9919639, cleaning London homes since 2014 from 255 Upper Richmond Road West, SW14 8QS. Wimbledon sits well inside our patch, not at the end of a long drive with a tired crew.
Our Trustpilot is 3.1 across 128 reviews. We leave that number in plain sight because trust built on a hidden score is not worth much in a business whose staff hold your keys. Where a visit falls short, tell the office and it gets re-done without a bill or a debate.
When something beyond the weekly scope comes up, the same firm covers it: carpet cleaning in Wimbledon for the machine-extraction jobs, oven cleaning in Wimbledon for the strip-down ones. The main domestic cleaning service page has the wider detail of how the service runs.
Starting is a phone call
Call 0333 555 2076 or email [email protected]. Tell us the size of the place, roughly how you live in it, and whether you want weekly, fortnightly or a one-off. We suggest hours, agree the rate and set a first visit, which starts with walking the house and writing the task list together.
No contract, no notice-period small print. Regulars keep their slot for as long as the work is good, which is the only basis we want to keep it on.
Our round takes in SW19 and SW20 in full: Wimbledon town centre and the Village, then South Wimbledon, Wimbledon Park, Wimbledon Chase and out through West Wimbledon to Raynes Park. If what you actually need is a move-out clean for a landlord or agent, that is a different job done to a different standard, and our end of tenancy cleaning in Wimbledon page is the place to start.
Frequently asked questions
How much does domestic cleaning cost in Wimbledon?
£22 an hour for a weekly visit, £24 an hour fortnightly, and £26 an hour for a one-off clean with a £67 minimum. Ironing is £12 an hour. There are no sign-up fees and no contract tying you in; you pay for the hours worked at the rate that matches how often we come.
Is there a minimum booking?
Regular visits work best at two to three hours, which suits most Wimbledon flats and terraces, though we will advise once we know the house. One-off cleans carry a £67 minimum because travel, setup and a proper job cannot squeeze into a single hour. Beyond that, you choose the hours.
What does a regular clean include?
The rooms you ask for, done properly: kitchens wiped and degreased, bathrooms descaled and disinfected, floors vacuumed and mopped, surfaces dusted, mirrors polished, beds changed if you leave linen out. We follow a task list agreed at the start, so nothing depends on guesswork or on who happens to be holding the cloth.
Do I need to provide the vacuum and cleaning products?
Most clients leave their own vacuum, mop and products out, which keeps the hourly rate where it is and means your floors meet the same products every week. If you would rather we brought supplies, say so when booking and we will arrange it. Either way, tell us about delicate surfaces first.
Will I get the same cleaner every time?
That is the aim and the normal arrangement, because a cleaner who knows your house works faster and better than a stranger with a checklist. When your regular is on holiday or ill, we offer a briefed stand-in or simply skip the visit, whichever you prefer. Nobody unfamiliar turns up unannounced.
Can the cleaner come while I am at work?
Yes, and for most of our Wimbledon clients that is the whole point. Keys are held signed-for and coded, never labelled with your address, and alarm instructions stay with the office. You leave for the train in the morning and the house is done when you get back. Notes on the counter work fine.
Do you do ironing?
We do, at £12 an hour, usually tacked onto the end of a cleaning visit. Leave the basket and the board out and say roughly what order matters, school shirts first, for instance. A weekly hour keeps most family baskets under control; the backlog after a fortnight away takes two.
Which areas do you cover and how do I start?
Everything in SW19 and SW20: the town centre, the Village, South Wimbledon, Wimbledon Park, Wimbledon Chase, West Wimbledon and Raynes Park. Call 0333 555 2076 or email [email protected], tell us the size of the place and how often you want us, and we set up a first visit.
