The service, locally
Regular cleaning across Southwark Central London
South-bank riverfront and Borough Market at the top, Peckham and Dulwich villages at the bottom. Riverside warehouse conversions, huge estates like the Aylesbury, Victorian terraces and Dulwich's detached villas. With 78% of homes here being flats and 33.1% 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.
Riverside loading restrictions, red routes on the New Kent Road and CPZs from SE1 to Peckham. London Borough of Southwark 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: one and two-person professional households booking a slot they never have to be home for. Access and parking: Riverside loading restrictions, red routes on the New Kent Road and CPZs from SE1 to Peckham.

- 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 Bermondsey 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.
- Southwark 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 Southwark 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.
- Sort access onceKey safe, concierge, fob or in-person. It is logged once and repeats automatically, so nobody rearranges their day around the clean.
- Adjust it whenever you likeSkip, move or lengthen a visit with 24 hours' notice. No contract, no minimum term, and no charge to stop.
Why Hello Services
What a regular cleaner in Southwark actually gets you
One cleaner, not a rota
The same named person every visit, working in Bermondsey 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, London Borough of Southwark parking and ULEZ. There is no call-out charge, no travel fee and no weekend premium.
Sized for Bermondsey homes
Factory lofts with goods lifts, Victorian terraces and 1930s LCC estates. We recommend a visit length that actually fits that stock — usually fortnightly — instead of selling the shortest slot and hoping.
London Borough of Southwark permits are on us
Railway-arch loading limits, tight factory-yard entrances and permit bays. On a recurring booking we set the permit or visitor arrangement up once and carry the cost ourselves, so the same slot works every week without anyone moving a van.
The standing brief
Every visit, plus one deeper task on rotation
Every single visit
Done every time in Southwark
- 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 Southwark borough-wide
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.
| 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. |
| 2 bedroom | 3 hrs | 3.5 hrs | £66 | Two bedrooms made and vacuumed, kitchen and bathroom in full, second WC where fitted, all floors, skirting spot-clean, two rotation tasks. |
| 3 bedroom | 3.5 hrs | 4 hrs | £77 | Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, stairs and landing vacuumed, kitchen in full including fronts, internal glass, two to three rotation tasks. |
| 4 bedroom | 4 hrs | 5 hrs | £88 | Whole house, utility room, all bathrooms, stairs and landings, kitchen fronts and splashbacks, three rotation tasks and a laundry load on if asked. |
| 5 bedroom+ | 5 hrs | 6 hrs | £110 | Large or shared houses: every bedroom, multiple bathrooms, kitchen and utility, all circulation space, three to four rotation tasks, often a two-cleaner team. |
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%.
Extras and local detail
What is included in Southwark and what is not
| 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 Bermondsey visit is assigned to one cleaner who lives or already works in Southwark, so travel is short and the slot holds week after week. You meet them before the first clean.
- Parking and permits
- Railway-arch loading limits, tight factory-yard entrances and permit bays. Any London Borough of Southwark permit or visitor bay is arranged and paid for by us and never appears on your invoice.
- Congestion Charge
- Part of Southwark 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 Southwark homes need week after week
Hard water, every week
London sits on chalk and Southwark 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
78% of Southwark 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 Bermondsey high streets
Former biscuit and leather factories converted into lofts, plus the Blue market. 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.
Owned homes and their finishes
31.3% of households here own their home, and owned homes have finishes worth protecting: engineered oak, stone worktops, painted panelling. Products are matched to the surface, and we test anything new somewhere it does not show.
The stuff that lives on the floor
Factory lofts with goods lifts, Victorian terraces and 1930s LCC estates. 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 Bermondsey Beer Mile and Maltby Street Market
Railway-arch loading limits, tight factory-yard entrances and permit bays. 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
Southwark in context
South-bank riverfront and Borough Market at the top, Peckham and Dulwich villages at the bottom. London's medieval overspill of inns and theatres, then wharves and warehouses; the riverside was rebuilt for offices and flats from the 1990s.
Riverside warehouse conversions, huge estates like the Aylesbury, Victorian terraces and Dulwich's detached villas. On ONS Census 2021 figures the borough holds 130,820 households with a median age of 33.1, 33.1% of them one person, 28.7% privately renting and a dwelling split of 78% flats to 21.8% houses — the mix that decides how long a recurring visit here needs to be.
33.1% of households in Southwark 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. Riverside loading restrictions, red routes on the New Kent Road and CPZs from SE1 to Peckham. London Borough of Southwark permits and visitor arrangements are set up once for a recurring booking and paid for by us.

Questions
Southwark regular cleaning questions, answered
£22 an hour weekly, £24 fortnightly and £26 monthly, minimum 2 hours. A two-bedroom on a weekly slot is typically three hours, around £66 a visit, with products, equipment, insurance and London Borough of Southwark parking already inside the rate.
All 14 of them, each with its own page and its own coverage detail — every SE1, SE5, SE15, SE16, SE17, SE21, SE22, SE24 postcode in the borough. Slots are assigned to a cleaner already working nearby, which is what keeps the timing reliable.
Yes. 78% 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 Southwark.
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 Southwark customers book the deep clean first and then hold the standard with a weekly visit.
