Just wondered - how much does your cleaner charge?

[paddingtonbear1]

Just had a note from mine saying her fees are going up to £13 per hour. She's v good (came recommended), and only comes every 2 weeks, but I just wondered how much others pay for theirs?

[thisisyesterday]

£10 an hour, we;re in the south east

[paddingtonbear1]

should have mentioned - we're in the north west.

[Saltire]

I don't have a cleaner, but my friend does it and she charges £8.00 an hour and the same for ironing.

[nannyl]

£10 hour in yorkshire

[LadyTremaine]

£7 an hour, outer london... Eastern european cash-in-hand

[SofaQueen]

£8/hr in west london, but I have her for 15 hours a week.

[littledolly]

Going rate round here is around £8-10 per hour, am in Northern Ireland, but think it might be more in Belfast

[thrifty]

i pay £8 per hour. 3 hours a week. I used to pay £15 per hour for a cleaning service who were crap. My cleaner is fab. I hope she doesn't decide to leave. Though if she asked for more i think i'd probably pay it.

[paddingtonbear1]

Thanks all - mine seems quite expensive then! She is independent, not through an agency. She is v good though, a friend recommended her (and she'd tried various agencies beforehand, none any good).

[LilRedWG]

£12 through a small agency.

Struth! £13ph I would expect miracles for that. Thats more than some technical qualified people get! I would say £7.50 - £10ph as it is hard graft. I pay £8 SE Wales.

Avoid agency, the poor blighters only get above minimum wage and the agency cream off the top.

[Rainydaze]

£7 per hour. She's great. We live in Cheltenham.

[Mandy21]

We're in the NW too - £8 a hour here but that's quite cheap compared to what some of my friends pay. I think you'd have to pay slightly more for a fortnightly set up - but £13 still sounds quite steep.

[whomovedmychocolate]

£8 per hour - Oxfordshire - she's self employed.

[whomovedmychocolate]

I would suggest you go on your local gumtree and see what everyone else is paying in your local area. :) I suspect your cleaner is having a larf.

[BecauseItoldYouSo]

£7.50 per hour - West London private self-employed cleaner. She is very flexible on dates times as are we with holidays and studying. She studies part-time and goes away several time a year.

[janekimble]

£10 but the cleaner doesn't mind if I leave my kid with her while she cleans and I go out so it's worth it.

[sinpan]

£8.50 per hour in Manchester for 3 hours a week. Worth every penny

[paddingtonbear1]

I share my cleaner with the friend who recommended her - my friend used to have her every week until she was on mat leave, then we arranged to share. sinpan I want your cleaner, I am in s manchester!

[cherub59]

£11/hour in west london - just gone up from £10/hour which she was on for 7 years! She is fab, trust her completely and worth her weight in gold. You get what you pay for!
