- 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 Shadwell 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.
- Tower Hamlets 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 Shadwell 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 Shadwell E1
- 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- Inside the fridgeShelves and drawers out, washed and dried, seals cleaned and out-of-date items flagged rather than binned.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.
Why Hello Services
What a regular cleaner in Shadwell actually gets you
One cleaner, not a rota
The same named person every visit, working in Shadwell already so travel is short and the slot is reliable on E1 jobs, with 5,744 households on this patch. You meet them before the first clean and they keep your brief on this side of Tower Hamlets.
Every-visit list plus a rotation
Kitchen, bathrooms, floors, beds and bins happen every single time on the Shadwell rounds. One deeper task — skirtings, inside the fridge, cupboard fronts, limescale — rotates through for Shadwell (E1) addresses, with a median age of 31 in this neighbourhood, so the whole home is properly done across a quarter.
Hourly rates
Regular cleaning rates in Shadwell E1
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%.
Extras and local detail
What is included in Shadwell E1
| 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 Shadwell visit is assigned to one cleaner who lives or already works in Tower Hamlets, so travel is short and the slot holds week after week. You meet them before the first clean.
- Parking and permits
- The Highway red route, cycle-superhighway kerb build-outs and estate lift booking. Any London Borough of Tower Hamlets permit or visitor bay is arranged and paid for by us and never appears on your invoice.
- Congestion Charge
- Part of Tower Hamlets 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 Shadwell homes need week after week
Hard water, every week
London sits on chalk and Tower Hamlets 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
Shadwell E1 regular cleaning questions, answered
From £22 an hour weekly, £24 fortnightly and £26 monthly in this 92% flats neighbourhood, with a 2-hour minimum visit. A typical Shadwell two-bedroom takes three hours weekly on Tower Hamlets bookings, so about £66 a visit. Products, equipment, insurance, London Borough of Tower Hamlets parking and ULEZ are all inside that rate — there is nothing added afterwards on the Shadwell rounds, with 32% one-person households here.
For E1 bookings, yes. One named, DBS-checked cleaner is assigned to your slot and they are someone already working in Tower Hamlets on Tower Hamlets bookings, with Tower Hamlets parking rules in play, 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 Tower Hamlets, with 5,744 households on this patch. Around Shadwell (DLR, Overground) we allow for the parking and the walk-in before the slot is confirmed.
2% of Tower Hamlets households privately renting — well above the 30% London average — most bookings here are shared flats splitting a weekly slot three ways in this 92% flats neighbourhood — and Shadwell Basin a few streets away, with this being a short walk from Shadwell (DLR, Overground). Weekly wins because a shared kitchen never gets a quiet day around Shadwell (DLR, Overground). 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 across E1, with Shadwell Basin a few streets away. If a home is empty most of the day, fortnightly with a slightly longer visit is usually the better value on this side of Tower Hamlets, with 34% of E1 homes being privately rented.

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!
