Will I get the same cleaner every time in Clerkenwell?

Yes. One named, DBS-checked cleaner is assigned to your slot and they are someone already working in City of London, 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.

Should I book weekly or fortnightly in Clerkenwell?

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. 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. If a home is empty most of the day, fortnightly with a slightly longer visit is usually the better value.

What gets done on every visit, and what rotates?

Kitchen, bathrooms, floors, dusting, beds, mirrors, touch points and bins happen every single visit without being asked. One deeper task rotates through each visit — skirtings, inside the fridge, cupboard fronts, internal windows, radiators, wardrobe tops, upholstery, limescale, grout and doors — so the whole home gets proper attention across a quarter.

Do I need to be at home?

No, and most Clerkenwell customers are not. Most people use a key safe or let us hold a coded key. Keys are never labelled with an address and are returned the day you stop.

Is there a contract or a minimum number of visits?

No contract, no minimum term and no cancellation fee. Move, shorten or skip any visit with 24 hours' notice at no charge, pause for holidays, and stop whenever you like.

Do you bring products and equipment to EC1 addresses?

Yes, all included. Fragrance-free, child-safe and eco-certified products are a free swap — just ask and it becomes the default for your slot. In walk-up flats here your cleaner brings a light machine, or uses your vacuum if you prefer.

Is ironing or laundry included?

Putting a wash on at the start and folding it at the end is included. Ironing is charged at the same hourly rate as the clean — tell us at booking so the slot is long enough, rather than losing cleaning time to the ironing board.

What is not covered by a regular clean in City of London?

Inside the oven, exterior windows above ground floor, moving heavy furniture, decluttering, mould remediation and carpet extraction all sit outside a routine visit. Any of them can be booked as a one-off, and we will always tell you when a specialist is the right answer instead.

Do you cover the whole of City of London?

Yes — every EC1, EC2, EC3, EC4 postcode, with Clerkenwell covered from EC1. 98% of the borough's homes are flats and 2% houses, and we run recurring slots in both.

What if I am not happy with a visit?

Tell us within 24 hours and your cleaner returns to put it right at no cost, or we reassign you to a different cleaner with no awkwardness. Recurring work only survives if each visit is right, so feedback changes the standing brief rather than being logged and forgotten.

Can I change my slot or my hours later?

Yes, at any point. People move from fortnightly to weekly when a baby arrives, add an hour before Christmas and drop back in January. Your rate follows the frequency you are actually on, and nothing needs re-signing.

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.

Book this slot

How a recurring booking runs

Setting up a regular clean in Clerkenwell 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 Clerkenwell EC1 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.

The standing brief

Every visit, plus one deeper task on rotation

This is the standing brief your Clerkenwell EC1 cleaner works from. The left column happens on every single visit; the right rotates one task per visit so the whole home is properly covered across a quarter.

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.
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 Clerkenwell EC1

Priced by the hour against the frequency you choose, not by the property. Products, equipment, insurance, City of London Corporation parking, permits and ULEZ — and the Congestion Charge are already inside the rate.

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.

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. 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 Clerkenwell homes

Print-works and brewery conversions, Georgian townhouses and Peabody blocks. We recommend a visit length that actually fits that stock — usually weekly — instead of selling the shortest slot and hoping.

Walk-ups without the drama

Plenty of EC1 homes are third and fourth-floor walk-ups. Your cleaner works with a light machine and, where you prefer it, your own vacuum — and there is never a stair surcharge.

Extras and local detail

What is included in Clerkenwell EC1

Most of what people expect to pay extra for is already inside the hourly rate. The handful of genuine add-ons are priced here so nothing arrives as a surprise on the invoice.

Regular cleaning extras and inclusions 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.
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 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

Print-works and brewery conversions, Georgian townhouses and Peabody blocks. That stock decides what a recurring visit has to do here week after week, so this is what your cleaner's routine is built around.

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 Clerkenwell high streets

Design studios, Italian delis and Georgian squares on the City's north-west edge. 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

Print-works and brewery conversions, Georgian townhouses and Peabody blocks. 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 Charterhouse and Exmouth Market

Narrow one-way streets, seven-day controlled bays and warehouse lofts up several flights of stairs. 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 area

Clerkenwell in context

Design studios, Italian delis and Georgian squares on the City's north-west edge. The Charterhouse and Exmouth Market anchors the area and Farringdon (Elizabeth line, Circle, Thameslink) sets the commute, which in turn sets the cleaning slots people ask for: mid-morning once the trains have gone, or late afternoon before anyone is back.

Print-works and brewery conversions, Georgian townhouses and Peabody blocks. Across City of London the ONS Census 2021 records 4,914 households, 98% of the dwelling stock as flats against 2% houses, and a median age of 36.9. 51% of those households are one person and 48.3% rent privately against a 30% London average — the mix that decides whether a home here wants weekly upkeep or a longer fortnightly visit.

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. Access shapes the rest: Narrow one-way streets, seven-day controlled bays and warehouse lofts up several flights of stairs. City of London Corporation permits are ours to arrange and pay for, and because a regular cleaner returns to the same street every week, that arrangement is made once rather than every visit.
