Which City of London areas do you cover?

All 10 of them, each with its own page and its own coverage detail — every EC1, EC2, EC3, EC4 postcode in the borough. Slots are assigned to a cleaner already working nearby, which is what keeps the timing reliable.

Do City of London flats and houses need different visit lengths?

Yes. 0% of homes in the borough are flats, and a one or two-bed flat is usually a two to three-hour weekly slot. Houses with stairs and a second bathroom need three and a half to five hours, because circulation space and extra bathrooms are where the time actually goes.

None. Skip, move or lengthen a visit with 24 hours' notice, pause for holidays and stop whenever you like — there is no minimum term and no cancellation fee anywhere in City of London.

What is the difference between this and a deep clean?

A regular clean is upkeep on a repeating slot with one cleaner. A one-off deep clean is a whole-property reset priced by size and condition, including the oven, filters and cupboard interiors. Many City of London customers book the deep clean first and then hold the standard with a weekly visit.

The service, locally

Regular cleaning across City of London Central London

The Square Mile — banking towers, medieval lanes and a resident population dwarfed by 500,000 weekday workers. Barbican and Golden Lane flats, converted counting houses and a handful of new riverside blocks. With 98% of homes here being flats and 51% of households a single person, the borough splits neatly between short weekly visits in flats and longer fortnightly ones in houses — and we size the slot to the property rather than the postcode.

Congestion Charge and ULEZ, ring-of-steel camera controls, almost no free kerb — loading bays must be booked around office hours. City of London Corporation permits and any visitor arrangement are set up once for a recurring booking and paid for by us, which is exactly why the same slot can hold at the same time every week for years.

Who books here: shared and privately rented flats where two or three adults split the slot between them. Access and parking: Congestion Charge and ULEZ, ring-of-steel camera controls, almost no free kerb — loading bays must be booked around office hours.

The default London booking and the one that keeps a home genuinely on top. Nothing builds up between visits, so the same hours buy more rotation work each week.
3 hours is what a 2 bedroom in Aldgate realistically needs at this frequency — Two bedrooms made and vacuumed, kitchen and bathroom in full, second WC where fitted, all floors, skirting spot-clean, two rotation tasks.

How a recurring booking runs

Setting up a regular clean in City of London once, then it just happens

Five steps, and only the first two need you. After that the slot runs itself — the same sequence behind every City of London recurring booking we hold.

Tell us the home and the frequencyStudio to five bedrooms, weekly, fortnightly or monthly. We suggest the visit length that actually fits the property rather than selling you the shortest slot.
Meet your cleaner before the first visitOne named cleaner is assigned to your slot. They walk the home with you once, note the things you care about, and that becomes your standing brief.
Agree the every-visit list and the rotationKitchen, bathrooms, floors and beds happen every single time. Everything deeper — oven fronts, inside the fridge, skirtings, windows, wardrobe tops — goes on a rotation so a different deep task is done each visit.
Sort access onceKey safe, concierge, fob or in-person. It is logged once and repeats automatically, so nobody rearranges their day around the clean.

Why Hello Services

What a regular cleaner in City of London actually gets you

One cleaner, not a rota

The same named person every visit, working in Aldgate already so travel is short and the slot is reliable. You meet them before the first clean and they keep your brief.

Every-visit list plus a rotation

Kitchen, bathrooms, floors, beds and bins happen every single time. One deeper task — skirtings, inside the fridge, cupboard fronts, limescale — rotates through, so the whole home is properly done across a quarter.

No contract, no minimum term

Skip, move or lengthen a visit with 24 hours' notice. Pause for a holiday, stop whenever you like, and nothing is charged for the privilege.

Everything is inside the hourly rate

Products, professional equipment, £5m public liability, DBS checks, City of London Corporation parking and ULEZ. There is no call-out charge, no travel fee and no weekend premium.

Sized for Aldgate homes

New residential towers, student blocks and 1970s estates around Middlesex Street. We recommend a visit length that actually fits that stock — usually weekly — instead of selling the shortest slot and hoping.

Managed buildings, sorted once

We register your cleaner with the Aldgate building once — concierge list, fob, goods lift where it is needed — and the arrangement then repeats every visit without you making a single phone call.

The standing brief

Every visit, plus one deeper task on rotation

Every City of London cleaner works to the same standing brief: the left column on every visit, one task from the right rotated through each time. Your own list sits on top of it, not instead of it.

Every single visit

Done every time in City of London

Kitchen worktops, sink and hobCleared, degreased and dried. Splashback and tap descaled, hob and control knobs wiped, sink polished and the drainer emptied.
Appliance fronts and handlesOven door, hob surround, fridge, dishwasher and microwave outside and inside the door — the greasy edges a rushed clean skips.
Bathrooms sanitisedToilet inside and out, basin, bath, shower screen and taps descaled, tiles wiped, mirror polished, floor washed to the edges.
Beds made or changedBeds made every visit; changed with the fresh linen you leave out, and the used set put on to wash if you would like.
Dust every reachable surfaceShelves, sills, tables, TV units, picture frames, lamps and handrails — moved and replaced, not dusted around.
Vacuum and mop all floorsCarpets, hard floors, stairs, under reachable furniture and along the edges where a domestic vacuum never quite gets.
Mirrors, internal glass and touch pointsMirrors, glass doors, light switches, handles and remotes — the surfaces everyone in the house touches daily.
Bins and tidy-downBins emptied, liners replaced, recycling taken to the store, cushions straightened and the home left ready to walk into.

One per visit, on rotation

The deeper task that changes each week

Skirting boards and door framesWiped by hand along one floor of the property, plus the scuff line behind doors.
Inside the fridgeShelves and drawers out, washed and dried, seals cleaned and out-of-date items flagged rather than binned.
Kitchen cupboard frontsDegreased top to bottom, handles included, plus the cupboard tops on a step ladder where it is safe.
Internal windows and tracksGlass, frames and sill runners on one side of the property, with the sliding tracks vacuumed out.
Radiators, grilles and ventsFront, top and the dust trap behind, plus extractor grilles in the kitchen and bathroom.
Wardrobe tops and high shelvesThe horizontal surfaces above eye level that never show until the light hits them.
Upholstery and under cushionsSofa and armchairs vacuumed with the crevice tool, cushions lifted, pet hair lifted with a rubber brush.
Limescale treatmentExtended descaler contact on shower screens, taps and the kettle — London water makes this a quarterly necessity, not a luxury.
Bathroom grout and sealantScrubbed along the bath and shower line, and the shower head soaked while the rest of the room is done.
Doors, handles and light fittingsDoors washed both sides, pendant shades and wall lights dusted, cobwebs cleared from ceiling corners.

Ten rotation tasks, one per visit — a weekly booking works through the whole list roughly every ten weeks, a fortnightly one across five months. You can pin a task to the top of the rotation whenever you like.

What a routine visit does not cover

Inside the oven — booked as an add-on or as a quarterly one-off, because it takes an hour on its own.
Exterior windows above ground floor, which need reach-and-wash equipment and a separate visit.
Moving heavy furniture, wall-mounted TVs or anything that needs two people and a risk assessment.
Clearing clutter or deciding what to throw away — we clean around your things and never bin anything.
Mould remediation, pest treatment, or damage caused by damp; those need a specialist, and we will say so.
Carpet and upholstery hot-water extraction, which is a separate machine and a separate booking.
Childcare, pet walking, or handling soiled pet bedding unless it has been agreed in advance.
Garden, balcony jet washing and communal areas — different equipment, and usually your freeholder's job.

Hourly rates

Regular cleaning rates in City of London borough-wide

The same hourly rate applies in every City of London postcode. Products, equipment, insurance, City of London Corporation parking, the Congestion Charge and ULEZ are inside it, and there is no weekend or evening premium.

2×/week

£21 /hr

Two shorter visits, usually a Monday and a Thursday. Chosen by busy family houses and shared professional flats where the kitchen and bathrooms need resetting midweek rather than once at the weekend.

Weekly

£22 /hr

The default London booking and the one that keeps a home genuinely on top. Nothing builds up between visits, so the same hours buy more rotation work each week.

Every 2 weeks

£24 /hr

Popular with one and two-person households. Expect the first 30–40 minutes of each visit to go on catching the kitchen and bathroom back up before the rotation task starts.

Monthly

£26 /hr

A monthly reset rather than upkeep. Book a longer visit — four hours or more — because a month of ordinary life needs catching up on before anything else gets touched.

Extras and local detail

What is included in City of London and what is not

Almost everything people expect to be an extra is already inside the rate across City of London. The genuine add-ons are listed here with their price and the time they take.

Regular cleaning extras and inclusions in City of London
Extra	Cost	Time	Detail
Ironing	£22	+60 min	Charged at the same hourly rate as the clean. A standard basket is about an hour; tell us at booking so the slot is long enough rather than eating the clean.
Laundry — wash, dry and fold	Included	+20 min	Putting a load on at the start of the visit and folding it at the end is included. Machine cycles that outlast the visit are left on the airer.
Inside the oven	£35	+60 min	Not part of a routine visit. Booked as a one-off add-on, or quarterly alongside your usual slot.
Inside the fridge	£15	+30 min	Shelves, drawers and seals emptied and washed. Most households book it monthly on the rotation instead of paying for it.
Internal windows and glass	Included	+30 min	Internal glass, mirrors and patio doors are inside the rotation at no extra cost. Exterior glass is a separate reach-and-wash visit.
Bed changing	Included	+10 min	Included on every visit where the fresh linen is left out. We do not go into wardrobes or drawers unless you ask us to.
Pet households	Included	+20 min	Hair lift on carpets, sofas and stair edges is inside the visit. Litter trays and pet bedding are handled on request, never assumed.
Key holding and key safe	Included	No extra time	Free. Keys are logged, coded and never labelled with your address; concierge and key-safe collection are both fine.
Products and equipment	Included	No extra time	Included. We can also work with your own products and your own vacuum — flat and tower blocks often prefer it.
Fragrance-free / eco products	Included	No extra time	Free swap to fragrance-free, child-safe and eco-certified products. Ask at booking and it becomes the default for your slot.

The same cleaner, the same slot: Your Aldgate visit is assigned to one cleaner who lives or already works in City of London, so travel is short and the slot holds week after week. You meet them before the first clean.
Parking and permits: Aldgate gyratory red routes, tower-block concierge sign-in and lift booking. Any City of London Corporation permit or visitor bay is arranged and paid for by us and never appears on your invoice.
Congestion Charge: Part of City of London sits inside the Congestion Charge zone. On a recurring booking that is a daily cost we absorb — the hourly rate is the same as anywhere else in London.
ULEZ: Every Hello Services vehicle is ULEZ-compliant. Most regular cleaners in this area travel by public transport anyway, which is why the slot times are so reliable.
Getting in when you are out: Concierge collection is registered once and then repeats automatically, so nobody has to be home. Key safes and fobs are logged the same way.
Stairs and machines: Lift or ground-floor access at most addresses here, so full-size equipment comes to the door.
Changing or skipping a visit: Move, shorten or skip any visit with 24 hours' notice at no charge. Holidays are simply paused — there is no minimum term and no cancellation fee.
Hard water: Every London borough is in a hard-water area. Descaler on taps, screens and kettle is part of the weekly routine here rather than an occasional extra.

This housing stock

What City of London homes need week after week

Barbican and Golden Lane flats, converted counting houses and a handful of new riverside blocks. That stock is what a recurring visit here is designed around, borough-wide.

Hard water, every week

London sits on chalk and City of London is no exception. Taps, shower screens and kettles scale within days here, so descaler is part of the weekly routine and a full limescale pass comes round on the rotation.

Flats with no airflow

98% of City of London homes are flats, and a sealed flat with a shower and no window keeps its moisture. We ventilate first, do the bathroom early so it dries, and keep an eye on the sealant line between visits.

Kitchens off Aldgate high streets

Eastern edge of the Square Mile where office towers meet Whitechapel's high street. Homes near a busy road here take a fine film on sills and internal glass, which is why sills and glass sit on the every-visit list rather than the rotation.

Rented homes and their fixtures

48.3% of City of London households rent privately, above the 30% London average. Landlord fixtures are usually cheap laminate, vinyl and painted MDF, so we use low-moisture methods that keep the deposit conversation short later.

The stuff that lives on the floor

New residential towers, student blocks and 1970s estates around Middlesex Street. Shoes, buggies, bikes and deliveries all land in the same square metre by the door. The entrance mat, hall floor and skirting by the door get done every visit because that is where the rest of the house picks its dirt up from.

Access at The Gherkin at 30 St Mary Axe

Aldgate gyratory red routes, tower-block concierge sign-in and lift booking. A recurring slot only works if getting in is boring, so we settle it once — key safe, concierge, fob or a key we hold under a code — and never renegotiate it week to week.

About the borough

City of London in context

The Square Mile — banking towers, medieval lanes and a resident population dwarfed by 500,000 weekday workers. Roman Londinium's walled city, rebuilt after the 1666 fire and again after the Blitz, now layered with towers around Bishopsgate.

Barbican and Golden Lane flats, converted counting houses and a handful of new riverside blocks. On ONS Census 2021 figures the borough holds 4,914 households with a median age of 36.9, 51% of them one person, 48.3% privately renting and a dwelling split of 98% flats to 2% houses — the mix that decides how long a recurring visit here needs to be.

With 48.3% of City of London households privately renting — well above the 30% London average — most bookings here are shared flats splitting a weekly slot three ways. Weekly wins because a shared kitchen never gets a quiet day. Congestion Charge and ULEZ, ring-of-steel camera controls, almost no free kerb — loading bays must be booked around office hours. City of London Corporation permits and visitor arrangements are set up once for a recurring booking and paid for by us.
