Hi, I was just wondering if people could help? I am hoping to employ a cleaner for a couple of hours a week. What is the average cost per hour? I am in Northampton (East Midlands).
Many thanks in advance for your help 😀.

Thank you, £11.50 through an agency sounds reasonable.
I have been offered £12.95 direct with a cleaner.

Itsaninlawsone · 09/09/2017 17:15

£12 directly to the cleaner- London

flumpybear · 09/09/2017 17:59

We're in Nottinghamshire - cleaners are £25
Per trip, not sure how long it takes and don't care as often 2-3 come (a small business) and blitz then go

Oh we're in an average - large 3 bed detached bungalow with two baths

£12 direct to her,would pay more!!

ScarletSienna · 10/09/2017 07:21

£15. There are very few cleaners here!

Cat0115 · 10/09/2017 07:22

Lincolnshire £8per hour to cleaner. Five bed house takes her four hours ..(though now I have adopted two dogs maybe longer next week!)

WhiteLily83 · 20/06/2018 09:56

Oh £15 an hour Warwickshire - cleaners in high demand!

TheHonGalahadThreepwood · 20/06/2018 14:57

£20 per hour. She is amazing, zooms around our 3 bed house in 1.5 hours (so costs us £30 a week), totally reliable, and supplies all her own cleaning products. I think you have to take into account how good a job they do, what else is included and how fast they work when comparing prices rather than just looking at the hourly rate. Our old cleaner charged £10 per hour but took 2 hours (so we were paying £20 a week) wasn't as good, was quite unreliable with last-minute cancellations, and we had to buy all our own cleaning products. You may find that some who seem to charge more actually don't cost much more in the long run.

DanglyEarOrnaments · 23/06/2018 16:41

£18 per hour - North West

Hello Everyone,
I'm looking for a domestic cleaner in the South Leicestershire area...any recommendations? I've never had a cleaner before and am a little nervous to find a reliable trustworthy cleaner. Many thanks in advanced.
