To ask how much you pay for your cleaner?

[CeeCeeMacFay]

Just been quoted £90 for a 4 hour clean (weekly not one off) for a 4 bed, 2 reception room house in a town in the Midlands. House is very tidy and mostly clean, one teen dc, one dog. We require thorough cleaning of kitchen, bathroom and downstairs wc, hoovering throughout, dusting etc just normal cleaning no wrong. I though this was abit steep but prepared to be corrected.

Very steep

£40 for the kitchen, bathroom and dining area to be cleaned. She takes anywhere between 3 - 5 hours.

£15 an hour in London

I pay £10/hour for 2 hours a week. That's a full clean of the kitchen/bathroom/downstairs loo and a quick hoover everywhere else. I can keep on top of the rest.

£10/hr in London, we have 3 hours a week. Previously went with an agency which was £12/hour.

£12 per hour for 4 hours weekly, self-employed, brings all her own stuff (apart from hoover). Glasgow.

£12.50 an hour plus we buy the materials she likes. London. Was 10/hour until last year, but a rise was certainly due.

If it was 2 cleaners together thrn £20+ would be reasonable?

£17 for 2 hours

That sounds about right for one of the "big companies", similar quote had before from a company with the initials MM.

However I've paid more like £10-12 ph for cleaners that work alone

Shop around and find someone cheaper. We used to pay £10ph, she's recently put her prices up to £12ph which I think outside her more I line with other.

I'm in the Midlands 10-15 at the most!

Thanks everyone, I am just outside Nottingham, so I guess £10-15 is about right for a self employed cleaner? It was MM!

£45 to do a 5 bed 3 bathroom house weekly.

(House is very tidy/uncluttered)

Hampshire

My house sounds similar size to yours; four beds over three stories, 2 reception rooms, 4 bogs/bathrooms. I pay £30 a week for a three hour clean. The cat gets fussed too, and if I’m around, we have a chat and she cleans the house better in that time than I ever could. Bargain.

@hobnobsarenotfordunking I'd pay her more as that's not even minimum wage, NMW is now £7.83 so you might be breaking the law employing someone for so little unless she's family doing a favour or something.

£18 per hour inc VAT in the North West

My cleaner was £10ph but has got a new job so I'm having to shop around again. Just had a quote from MM that was £80 fortnightly for a 4 bed house. I was paying £28 per week before!

£12 an hour and I live where everything is expensive so it's considered quite cheap. 4 hours would there be £48. £90 should like a lot.

£13.50 an hour here; She's wonderful! O or we could choose to pay £12.50 an hour, but have to provide own products .

What you were quoted sounds ridiculous!

We are in the south east .

I personally don't like agencies - they charge more, and i much prefer just dealing/paying my cleaner direct anyway.

I pay about £80 for 3.5 hours; that's through a company (cash-in-hand invalidates our home contents insurance, as we found out to our cost some years ago). That's for a two-bed flat, albeit a very big one.

It's not MM, I tried them and didn't have a very good experience.

I can't afford £80 a week so she comes once a fortnight and I do it the rest of the time. She's awesome, though; the place positively gleams after she's been. She doesn't iron, but only because I've asked her not to.

£14 p/h, but it’s through an agency, so the cleaner only gets £10 p/h.

£10 per hour - just 4 hours a month. She uses her own cloths and cleaning stuff but my hoover. I would ask her to come more often but it's all I can afford now. I ought to do it myself - but after a few years of part-time work, I find that I just don't do certain things, and at least most of them will get done once every 4 weeks. Hadn't realised I was so bone idle

Sorry - should I said I am in the North West.

£12.50 ph south east
