The service, locally

Regular cleaning in Old Street EC1V

The roundabout, tech offices and warehouse conversions on the City fringe. Warehouse and office conversions, new towers with concierge, and Peabody-era estate blocks. 36.1% of households in Islington are one person, and a flat used mainly in the evenings does not build up fast. Fortnightly with a slightly longer visit is the usual answer here.

Who books here: one and two-person professional households booking a slot they never have to be home for. Access and parking: Red-route roundabout with no kerbside loading, goods-lift booking in the towers and gated estate yards.

£66 a visit

3 hrs at £22/hr · about £286 a month · £624 a year less than monthly rates

  • 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 Old Street 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.
  • Islington 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 Old Street once, then it just happens

Three steps, and only the first two need you. After that the slot runs itself — the same sequence behind every Old Street EC1V recurring booking we hold.
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

Hourly rates

Regular cleaning rates in Old Street EC1V

Priced by the hour against the frequency you choose, not by the property. Products, equipment, insurance, London Borough of Islington 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.

Recommended visit lengths and weekly cost for Old Street EC1V
Home sizeWeekly visitFortnightly visitWeekly costWhat fits in the visit
Studio2 hrs2.5 hrs£44Kitchen surfaces, hob and sink, shower room descaled, floors throughout, bed changed with your linen, bins out, one rotation task.
1 bedroom2.5 hrs3 hrs£55Full 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%.

The standing brief

Every visit, plus one deeper task on rotation

This is the standing brief your Old Street EC1V 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 Old Street EC1V

  • 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

  1. Skirting boards and door framesWiped by hand along one floor of the property, plus the scuff line behind doors.
  2. 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.

Why Hello Services

What a regular cleaner in Old Street actually gets you

One cleaner, not a rota

The same named person every visit, working in Old Street already so travel is short and the slot is reliable on this side of Islington, with Old Street roundabout and Bunhill Fields burial ground a few streets away. You meet them before the first clean and they keep your brief across EC1V.

Every-visit list plus a rotation

Kitchen, bathrooms, floors, beds and bins happen every single time across EC1V. One deeper task — skirtings, inside the fridge, cupboard fronts, limescale — rotates through on this side of Islington, with 98% of homes here being flats, so the whole home is properly done across a quarter.

Extras and local detail

What is included in Old Street EC1V

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 Old Street EC1V
ExtraCostTimeDetail
Ironing£22+60 minCharged 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 Old Street visit is assigned to one cleaner who lives or already works in Islington, so travel is short and the slot holds week after week. You meet them before the first clean.
Parking and permits
Red-route roundabout with no kerbside loading, goods-lift booking in the towers and gated estate yards. Any London Borough of Islington permit or visitor bay is arranged and paid for by us and never appears on your invoice.
Congestion Charge
Part of Islington 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
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 Old Street homes need week after week

Warehouse and office conversions, new towers with concierge, and Peabody-era estate 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 Islington 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.

I booked a post builder clean 2 days in advance and found the booking process with hello services really easy.

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.
