Those that have a cleaner please can you help answer a question? (Sorry to jump on the thread)

I want to book someone for a ‘one off clean’ as advertised but they charge by the hour. How can I budge to know how long they will take?

I have a 3 bed house kitchen bathroom en-suite and living room. Pretty standard stuff. Want them to hoover dust polish clean skirting boards windows in each room. Clean bathrooms and wipe kitchen cupboards front and mop floor? How on earth do I know how long that will take?? Thanks

Foodylicious · 22/12/2018 15:22

Blimey Buggeroffbingbunny how ling ago was that?
Do you think you might just put it up yourself and pay her a bit more?

NotSuchASmugMarriedNow1 · 22/12/2018 15:24

Whatelsecouldibecalled if I were in your shoes I'd book that one off clean for two hours and then see if it needed another 2 or 3 hours and book separately.

Foodylicious · 22/12/2018 15:24

Whatelsecouldibecalled I think you just need to ask for a quote, listing what you need doing

cloudtree · 22/12/2018 15:28

whatelse I'd say about 4 hours. windows take a long time.

callymarch · 22/12/2018 15:36

Buggeroffbingbunny you do know the national minimum wage is £7.83 going up to £8.21 in April?

Bluntness100 · 22/12/2018 15:38

Ten pounds an hour, two hours a week, she basically cleans bathrooms, changes beds, dusts, hoovers, cleans round kitchen, and then cleans windows etc when they need doing.

The house is always very clean and tidy though so she's basically giving it all a clean over and bed changing.

MRex · 22/12/2018 15:42

£15/hour; started at £12 some years back then £12.50, now actually it's £13 but when we moved we added extra for her cost of travel plus a bit.
3-5 hours per week depending, 5 weeks paid holiday at 3 hours per week. We usually round up. Christmas present (toiletries, chocolates, stuff like that) and £20 bonus.
Extra bonus that she is allowed cuddle time with DS when she comes too. I think she'd come for free now she gets that. Sometimes she stays for ages past leaving time playing on the floor with him.

BlueJay1 · 22/12/2018 15:53

£10 per hour. 2.5 hours every other week.

Solasum · 22/12/2018 15:56

whatelse I recently had a one bed flat deep cleaned and there was a good result after three hours but four would have been better. I’d guess 5 hours for 3 beds

MsVestibule · 22/12/2018 15:57

@buggeroffbingbunny good grief, how mean are you? How about you do the decent thing and increase her hourly rate yourself? Assuming you don't give her holiday, sick and BH pay, that should be at least £10ph.

I would be seriously embarrassed to admit I only paid somebody £7.50ph, even on an anonymous forum.

Redglitter · 22/12/2018 15:58

£10 an hour. 2 hours every fortnight

Picnictime · 22/12/2018 16:02

£14 an hour, 3.5 hours every other week

We had our 4 bed, 2 bath deep cleaned the other day before our cleaner started, took 7 hours at £16 an hour.
It was thick with dust after some months of neglect and we live in a hard water area.

Minniemountain · 22/12/2018 16:03

Ours charges us £25 per clean. Initially it was £10 per hour for 2.5 hours but she changed it in case she took less time or longer to do everything.
