Regular domestic cleaning in Brighton: what actually matters here
Regular cleaning in Brighton works on keys and trust, because most clients are out and most flats are behind two doors — the shared street door and their own. We agree the entry arrangement in writing at the first visit, and the same named cleaner returns each time so you are not re-explaining the flat to a stranger every fortnight. Where a building has a fob or a coded street door, that detail belongs to the household and is never shared beyond the assigned crew.
The rota is built around the property rather than a standard checklist. A top-floor Kemp Town conversion with sash windows and a bathroom extractor into a lightwell needs condensation and mould watched weekly; a Preston Park or Patcham family house needs floors, kitchen and bathrooms held to a schedule with the deeper items rotated. We write that rota with you and adjust it rather than repeating one sheet everywhere.
Parking again sets the practical slot length. In permit-controlled streets a cleaner arriving by car may have no legal place to leave it, so Brighton rounds are planned so the crew arrives on foot or by public transport where that is realistic, and clustered by area — Hove and Brunswick together, Hanover and Elm Grove together — to keep visits on time.
What a housekeeping / cleaner job includes
Regular housekeeping is the same cleaner, on the same day, working to a list you set. It is ongoing maintenance rather than a one-off reset: kitchen, bathrooms, floors, dusting and bed changes on a weekly or fortnightly rhythm, with the visit length fixed so you know exactly what the week costs. Cleaning teams are directly employed and DBS-checked, which is why you get a named person rather than whoever is free.
Every visit
- Kitchen surfaces, hob, sink and appliance fronts cleaned down
- Bathrooms cleaned and disinfected — sanitary ware, screens, mirrors and floors
- All floors vacuumed and hard floors mopped
- Dusting of reachable surfaces, sills, shelves and skirtings
- Beds made or changed with linen you leave out, and bins emptied
On a rota you choose
- Inside the fridge, the microwave and the oven door glass
- Interior windows, doors and frames
- Under-bed and behind-sofa vacuuming
- Ironing and laundry cycles run during the visit
How it runs
- A named, DBS-checked cleaner on a fixed weekly or fortnightly slot
- A written task list agreed at the start and changed whenever you ask
- Products and machines supplied, or yours used if you prefer particular ones
- Key-holding or a smart-lock code arranged in writing, never informally
What changes the price on a housekeeping / cleaner job
- Clutter is the single biggest drag on a timed visit: a cleaner tidying is a cleaner not cleaning. Say which surfaces you want tidied and which left alone and the time goes where you want it.
- Pets and shedding change the vacuum time noticeably; tell us at quote stage so the visit is long enough rather than always overrunning.
- Holiday and sickness cover is arranged with a replacement from the same team, and you are told who is coming before the day — we would rather move the slot than send a stranger unannounced.
- The first visit almost always takes longer than the routine ones. Where a home has not been cleaned to standard recently, we quote a one-off deep clean first and then the regular slot maintains it — that is cheaper than paying deep-clean effort at housekeeping frequency forever.

We booked for a deep clean for a house we were moving into with short notice. The friendly team turned up on time, fully equipped and blitzed the house in just over 2 hours. The house was spotless when we returned, carpets given a wash and new lease of life, appliances and windows cleaned. It… Read in full →
I recently had a large removal and end of tenancy cleaning done by Hello Services in Brighton. They were very friendly, professional, careful and respectful. They did an excellent job, highly recommended.

About Brighton
Brighton is the hardest city in the county to work in and the reasons are physical rather than administrative. The conversion-flat market means the majority of addresses in BN1 and BN2 are one floor of a house that was never designed to be split: a shared front door, a half-landing turn too tight for a three-seater sofa, and no lift. Crews survey the staircase, not the room. Where a piece will not turn, we say so before the day rather than discovering it on the landing.
Parking is the second constraint. Controlled zones cover almost the whole city and enforcement is quick, so we either book a bay suspension in advance or price the carry from the nearest legal stopping point and tell you which it is. The third is gradient: Hanover, Elm Grove and the streets above Lewes Road are steep and often single-file with parked cars both sides, which rules out the largest vans and turns some jobs into a shuttle with a smaller vehicle.
One waste point worth stating plainly, because it catches people who have moved from the surrounding districts. Brighton and Hove is its own unitary authority. Its household site at Hollingdean serves its residents; the East Sussex County Council sites at Newhaven, Hailsham and elsewhere run a residents-only permit scheme that does not cover a Brighton address. Nothing we clear goes to a household site in any case — it goes to a licensed transfer station and you get the waste transfer note.

Brighton questions, answered.
How much does housekeeping / cleaner cost in Brighton?
Housekeeping / Cleaner in Brighton (BN1, BN2, BN3, BN41, BN42) starts from £45. The final figure is fixed before booking and reflects the size of the property, the floor level and the access — which in Brighton usually means brighton and Hove operates controlled parking across nearly the whole built-up area and a bay suspension has to be applied for days in advance, so a removal without one becomes a long carry. Hanover, Elm Grove and Round Hill are steep enough that a Luton struggles on the turns, and conversion flats above the second floor almost never have a lift. Brighton and Hove is a unitary authority: residents use the Hollingdean site on Upper Hollingdean Road and cannot use East Sussex County Council's sites, which are permit-controlled for their own residents.
Do you cover the whole of Brighton?
Yes — every BN1 and BN2 and BN3 and BN41 and BN42 street, plus the surrounding East Sussex towns. Jobs are scheduled by travel time, so short-notice slots do come up.
Are you insured for housekeeping / cleaner work?
We carry £1m public liability cover and hold Environment Agency waste carrier licence CBDU300454. Certificates are available on request and the details are published on our trust and credentials page.
How quickly can you book housekeeping / cleaner in Brighton?
Same-week slots are standard in Brighton, with next-day often available midweek. Month-end tenancy changeovers are the busiest window across East Sussex, so book those a week or two ahead.
Do I get the same cleaner each time?
Yes, that is the point of a regular slot — a named cleaner on a fixed day. If they are on holiday or off sick we arrange cover from the same team and tell you who is coming beforehand.
Do I need to be home?
No. Most regular customers are at work. Key-holding or a smart-lock code is arranged in writing when the schedule is set up, so the arrangement is on record rather than a verbal favour.
Can I change what gets done?
Any time. The task list is yours — swap the ironing for the oven door, add the inside of the fridge one week, skip a bedroom nobody uses. Just tell us before the visit so the time is planned.
What is the notice period?
There is no tie-in contract. Give us reasonable notice to move or cancel a visit and there is no charge; if we turn up to a locked house with no notice, the visit is charged because the slot was held for you.
