Glazing
A squeegee leaves nothing behind to re-wet, so almost all of what is there goes on the first draw.

Six passes, five endings
A pass does not remove an amount of soil. It removes a fraction of what is still there — so what is left after n passes is r = (1 − k)ⁿ, and k belongs to the surface. Scroll is the pass count. Every plate below is given the same six passes.
Painted wall
Emulsion holds soil in the texture. A cloth reaches the peaks first and the pits last.

Hard floor
A rotary head lifts soil into the solution, and whatever is not extracted goes back down.

Tile grout
Grout is porous and sits below the tile face. Most of a pass lands on the tile, not in the joint.

Sealed limestone
We do not wet-clean sealed limestone. Detergent strips the seal, so the work is refused and the surface is dry-dusted by the building.

Residual is the share of the original soil still on the surface. Our finish line is 0.05 — five per cent left. Sealed limestone never reaches it here because we do not wet-clean it: detergent strips the seal, so that job is refused and the plate rides the rack unchanged.
What we take on
Offices and workspace
Evening crews from 18:00, or a daytime housekeeper on site. Desks, washrooms, kitchens, internal glazing and hard floors. Consumables restocked and logged.
Priced per visit, from £96 for up to 400 m².
End of tenancy
Landlord and agent work to a written inventory standard, including appliances, inside cupboards and window interiors. Photographed at handover.
Fixed price by bedroom count, from £180.
Homes, weekly or fortnightly
The same two cleaners every visit, a key held under a signed agreement, and a standing list you can change by text before 09:00 on the day.
From £19.50 an hour, two hours minimum.
Published rates
These are the rates we quote from. Grout, oven interiors and post-build work are timed because their removal rate is low — that is the argument the rack above is making.
| Work | Basis | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Cleaner, standard hours | per hour, per cleaner | £19.50 |
| Cleaner, before 07:00 or after 20:00 | per hour, per cleaner | £24.00 |
| Office contract, to 400 m² | per visit | £96.00 |
| Internal glazing | per pane | £2.40 |
| Hard floor, mop and buff | per m² | £0.85 |
| Tile grout, deep clean | per hour | £28.00 |
Notes from the vans
- The second pass is the one that pays
Every extra wipe is worth less than the one before it. Here is what that costs a landlord who insists on a fifth.

- What an end-of-tenancy argument is actually about
Nine times out of ten the dispute is not about how clean the flat is. It is about nobody having written down what clean meant.

We will price it the same working day. If it is a surface we would refuse — sealed stone, untreated timber, anything under warranty — we will say so instead of quoting for it.
