Housekeep
Housekeep is an app and website booking platform for house cleaning, matching customers with local vetted cleaners by postcode for one-off, weekly or fortnightly visits. Its own site advertises rates from £18.50 an hour, cashless payment, a spare-key holding system and the ability to change or cancel a booking without a contract. It is by far the largest operator on this list, with a review base that dwarfs every other business here.
What people praise
- Simple app-based booking, matched to a local cleaner by postcode
- No contract, cancel or reschedule online
- Spare-key holding service for repeat customers who are not home
- Cashless payment taken automatically once the clean is complete
Worth knowing
- Several recent reviewers describe inconsistent standards on individual jobs, particularly deep cleans and end-of-tenancy work
- Customer support runs through chat rather than a phone line, which some reviewers found slow for resolving complaints
Our take: The easiest way to book a cleaner in London on short notice, and the reviews reflect a huge volume of jobs. The trade-off for that scale is less predictability job to job than a smaller, more hands-on operator.
