Is this a bit steep?

I've just had a quote from a cleaning firm of £90 to clean my 4 bed house for 4 hours per week. I've never looked for a cleaner before but was shocked by this. Is it way too high or am I being unrealistic? We're in the midlands.

We are charged £12.50 per hour.

That can't be right? I'm home counties and most cleaners around here charge £10-14/hr.
Did they maybe think it was a one off clean?

Is this with an agency/franchise?

£90 A day, week or month?

No - definitely for a weekly clean. Clean kitchen and bathroom, hoover carpets, mop hard floors and dust. Really wasn't expecting the figure she came up with!

Are they sending 2 cleaners? I’ve a large 3 bed and it’s £80 but I live in a city. Get more quotes from other companies?

That's outrageous.

4 hours, one person, once a week. Not a franchise. Met with the owner who says she has a team of regular staff.

£22.50 an hour?! No way. I pay £10 cash in hand, have paid up to £13 an hour. South east

Where do you live? That's crazy unless you have VERY large bedrooms.

£10 an hour is what I pay .

We live in Leicester. Victorian semi, high ceilings and reasonable size but def not huge.
I'm very encouraged by these responses - there is no way I could justify spending £90 a week. Will try some other cleaners!

We pay £10 an hour direct to our cleaner, we are on the Northamptonshire/Leicestershire border.

I'm fairly close to you and £10-£12 an hour is the norm

We’re in Leicestershire and used to pay £13 an hour. Large 4 bed.

I do housekeeping, I charge 10 pound an hour. What they are charging seems mad to me

get on your local facebook group and ask for recommendations

Wow that is madness OP she will be out of business at that rate. I'm also Midlands based have always paid up to £10 per hour one company did quote me £12.50 but that's as high as I've been told.
