To ask how much you’d pay for a deep clean?

I'll try and talk them into it.
I'm certainly refusing to stay there again until it's clean!

Oh think that’s a bargain for all that.

I recently got this quote for a relative, who didn't go ahead with it. It was for a 2 bedroom flat, which is pretty manky:

This is south of England, but still seems dear compared to other quotes on here.

I should add that it took two people 3.5 hours to clean the kitchen because it was so bad.

When I sold my late mother's house last year, I paid £75 for a deep clean of the kitchen. I cleaned the rest of the house myself but the kitchen was really filthy and way beyond any cleaning that I was willing to do. The cleaners did an amazing job.

Interesting - in our area there’s a sense that you book the cleaner for so many hours and whatever they do in that time is paid at the hourly rate.

Thinking about it there’s no reason why a ‘deep’ clean is more expensive than a ‘normal’ clean. In fact, it is quite surprising that things often classed as a deep clean should normally be thought of as a standard part of a normal clean!

That's what they've quoted. If you're not happy get another quote. We paid £350 recently for a deep clean including carpet steaming.

We had a deep clean recently. Our house sounds about the same size as yours. It didn’t include the oven, fridge or the insides of the kitchen cabinets as I’d done that already, but everything else. It took two cleaners four hours and we paid about £110.

I paid £165 for a 7 hour deep clean the other week. They just managed the kitchen and 3 bathrooms in that time.

They did spend a long time in each room. All the doors and light fittings got wiped down so much more thorough than when I had a regular cleaner.

I think customer expectations are higher for a deep clean and it requires greater attention to detail / usage of products.

Also tends to be more than one person so the logistics are a bit more awkward to organise.

But there is indeed probably a bit of Opportunistic mark up in there as it is a one off service

Completely disagree. A deep clean will include cleaning the oven for eg, that alone is a £60 job (taking around an hour) if you were to hire someone to specifically do that job. Deep cleans involve a lot more work than a general clean, it’s not just the same job but it takes longer

I’ve just booked a deep clean for £140 for my three bed semi. That’s for 6 hours work.

The thing is, that the deep clean shouldn’t be priced any differently. Yes it takes longer, but the hourly rate should be the same, you just pay for more hours.

So £21.5 per hour for 3 people together, or am I misunderstanding? I'd be glad about the cheaper price but that's £7 per hour per person, way under NMW... Random but I'd be a little worried about how they pay their employees?

Ah, that's better!

Get another quote if you are not happy with this one. I would have thought 1 person in the bathroom and 1 person in the kitchen for 2 hours each so 4 hours total would have been enough. It will be quicker and easier because the house will be empty so it will be easier to clean.

We paid 450 euro for this last week for a similar sized house. 9 hours cleaning for one cleaner. 50 euro an hour. She worked flat out. It's now shining. No windows but oven included.

£300 for small London flat

I think the hourly rate sounds reasonable. You just need to agree with them what areas you want cleaned and/or agree the length of time.

My deep cleans that I book every now and then for our house work out at about £25/hr. They’re more expensive than regular cleans.

Are you just wanting the kitchen and bathroom deep cleaned or the full house? It also depends on the state of the house tbh. If it’s the full house that’s a reasonable price, if it’s just the kitchen and bathroom why do they need 3 people? Personally when we’ve moved house we have every room deep cleaned. I don’t want to be cleaning grease from the top of kitchen cupboards for instance or wiping shite from skirtings.

I’ve just had a deep clean done after my tenants moved out, the house was pretty dirty. 3 bed with a massive conservatory. £189 for 2 cleaners for 3 hours and the house is now sparkling. And there were cheaper quotes than this, these just had the best reviews

I paid £250 recently to have my mum's house deep cleaned for it to be sold. It was a set rate, 2 cleaners came. Large 3 bed semi

I agree with this.

Last week I paid 258 for a 5 bedroom house with 4 bathrooms and 4 big downstairs rooms. That included the oven and fridge. I had to empty all of the cupboards in the kitchen and the 3 of the bedrooms aren't used so not needing much. Two people for 17ph for 7 ish hours
