Short answer: the cost of professional cleaning depends mainly on the size of the space, its condition, the type of cleaning, how often you need it, and any special requirements. That is why reliable cleaning companies quote after understanding your space rather than offering one fixed price for every job.
1. Size of the property
More rooms, bathrooms and floor area mean more time and people. For homes, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms is a useful starting point. For offices and commercial premises, floor area, number of floors and number of washrooms matter most.
2. Condition
A home that is cleaned regularly takes far less time than one that has not been cleaned thoroughly in months. Heavy grease, limescale, construction dust or a property left by previous tenants all add time. This is the main reason a first clean often costs more than later regular cleans.
3. Type of service
- Regular cleaning is the quickest per visit.
- Deep cleaning takes considerably longer.
- Post-construction and move-in or move-out cleaning are usually the most time-intensive.
- Specialist work such as upholstery, carpets and fumigation depends on the items or area, and on the equipment and products needed.
4. Frequency
Regular arrangements often cost less per visit than one-off cleans, because the home never gets far behind and the team knows the space.
5. Specific requests
Inside the oven and fridge, inside cupboards, interior windows, laundry and ironing, or cleaning at unusual hours all add to the scope.
6. Access and location
Distance from our base, parking, stairs without lifts, and whether water and power are available on site can all affect the time a job takes.
7. Supplies and equipment
Whether the cleaning company brings products and equipment, or uses yours, can change the price.

A note on very cheap quotes
A very low price can mean a rushed job, no supplies, or a team with no supervision. When comparing quotes, ask what is included, how long the team will spend, and what happens if something is missed.
