- 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 Clerkenwell 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.
- City of London straddles the Congestion Charge zone. It is absorbed, not added — your hourly rate is the London-wide one.
- No contract and no minimum term. Move or skip any visit with 24 hours' notice.
How a recurring booking runs
Setting up a regular clean in Clerkenwell once, then it just happens
- 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.
The standing brief
Every visit, plus one deeper task on rotation
Every single visit
Done every time in Clerkenwell EC1
- 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.
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- Inside the fridgeShelves and drawers out, washed and dried, seals cleaned and out-of-date items flagged rather than binned.
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.
Hourly rates
Regular cleaning rates in Clerkenwell EC1
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.
| Home size | Weekly visit | Fortnightly visit | Weekly cost | What fits in the visit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 hrs | 2.5 hrs | £44 | Kitchen surfaces, hob and sink, shower room descaled, floors throughout, bed changed with your linen, bins out, one rotation task. |
| 1 bedroom | 2.5 hrs | 3 hrs | £55 | Full kitchen and bathroom, living room and bedroom dusted and vacuumed, hallway floor, mirrors and glass, bins, one to two rotation tasks. |
All rates are in GBP and are the price you pay, with products, equipment, insurance, parking, permits and ULEZ already inside them. Regular domestic cleaning in an occupied home is supplied VAT-free where the cleaner is self-employed; landlord, managing-agent and company-invoiced contracts are quoted plus VAT at 20%.
Why Hello Services
What a regular cleaner in Clerkenwell actually gets you
One cleaner, not a rota
The same named person every visit, working in Clerkenwell already so travel is short and the slot is reliable on the Clerkenwell rounds, with 5,170 households on this patch. You meet them before the first clean and they keep your brief on EC1 jobs.
Every-visit list plus a rotation
Kitchen, bathrooms, floors, beds and bins happen every single time around Farringdon (Elizabeth line, Circle, Thameslink), with Barbican just east. One deeper task — skirtings, inside the fridge, cupboard fronts, limescale — rotates through on EC1 jobs, with this being a short walk from Farringdon (Elizabeth line, Circle, Thameslink), with Barbican just east, so the whole home is properly done across a quarter.
Extras and local detail
What is included in Clerkenwell EC1
| 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. |
- The same cleaner, the same slot
- Your Clerkenwell 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
- Narrow one-way streets, seven-day controlled bays and warehouse lofts up several flights of stairs. 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
- Most regular customers here leave a key in a key safe or with us. Keys are coded, never address-labelled, and returned the day you stop.
- Stairs and machines
- Walk-up access here, so the cleaner works with a light upright and your own vacuum where you have one. No stair-carry surcharge, ever.
- 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 Clerkenwell homes need week after week
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.

Questions
Clerkenwell EC1 regular cleaning questions, answered
From £22 an hour weekly, £24 fortnightly and £26 monthly on City of London bookings, with a 2-hour minimum visit. A typical Clerkenwell two-bedroom takes three hours weekly on the streets near The Charterhouse and Exmouth Market, so about £66 a visit. Products, equipment, insurance, City of London Corporation parking and ULEZ are all inside that rate — there is nothing added afterwards for Clerkenwell (EC1) addresses, with 6% of Clerkenwell homes being houses.
Yes. One named, DBS-checked cleaner is assigned to your slot and they are someone already working in City of London on the streets near The Charterhouse and Exmouth Market — and this being a short walk from Farringdon (Elizabeth line, Circle, Thameslink), with Barbican just east, with 41% one-person households here, which is what makes the timing reliable. You meet them before the first visit. If they are ill or on holiday we offer a briefed cover cleaner and you are free to decline it and skip instead on this side of City of London, with 94% of homes here being flats. With 94% of homes in Clerkenwell being flats, we plan the route up front.
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 across EC1 — and this being a short walk from Farringdon (Elizabeth line, Circle, Thameslink), with Barbican just east, with this being City of London Corporation territory. Weekly wins because a shared kitchen never gets a quiet day on the streets near The Charterhouse and Exmouth Market. As a rule, if you cook most nights or the home has more than one bathroom, weekly costs less per hour and gets more done on EC1 jobs, with 5,170 households on this patch. If a home is empty most of the day, fortnightly with a slightly longer visit is usually the better value on the Clerkenwell rounds, with a median age of 31 in this neighbourhood.

Had an above and beyond experience with our cleaners, Diana and Alex. They were honest, professional, friendly, and did an amazing job with what they were tasked with.

Uki and Ben helped to clean my flat following a large and mess kitchen renovation. They did a fantastic job considering the dust and mess. I came back after a couple of hours to a clean and liveable home. I cannot thank them enough!
