Agency or independent

Agencies cost more per hour but carry public liability insurance, check right-to-work and references, and send cover during holidays and sickness. Independent cleaners are cheaper and you get the same person every time, but cover and insurance are down to you.

What to agree up front

The rooms and tasks each visit, who supplies products and equipment, how keys are held, what happens if either side cancels, and how the rate is reviewed. Writing it down avoids nearly every problem people have with regular cleaners.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to provide cleaning products?

It is common in London for the householder to supply products and the vacuum, particularly with independent cleaners. Agencies increasingly bring their own kit for a small extra charge.

Can I have the same cleaner every week?

That is the point of a regular arrangement. Agencies aim for continuity and send a replacement only when your usual cleaner is unavailable.
