Booking house cleaning services in London usually comes down to one question: do you want the same person every visit, or the fastest slot an app can find? Housekeep alone has logged over 5,300 Google reviews, more than every other name on this page combined several times over, while three smaller operators hold ratings of 4.9 on a few hundred reviews each, and that split between volume and consistency is the real decision here.

Short answer: For regular or one-off house cleaning in London, City Housekeeping and Better Call Moe both hold 4.9 stars, with City Housekeeping backed by 317 reviews and Better Call Moe by 197, while Housekeep is the largest platform by far at 4.1 stars across more than 5,300 reviews. Hourly domestic cleaning in London typically runs £15 to £25 an hour, with end-of-tenancy cleans priced separately per property size.

Housekeep

4.15,349 Google reviews

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.

City Housekeeping

4.9317 Google reviews

City Housekeeping is a London cleaning company offering domestic cleaning, end-of-tenancy work, deep cleaning and add-ons like ironing, gardening and gutter cleaning, and it markets itself on personal, vetted and insured cleaners rather than app-only matching. Reviews repeatedly name the same individual cleaners returning to a customer's property on different jobs, suggesting continuity between visits rather than a different person each time.

What people praise

  • Reviewers frequently name the same cleaners returning for repeat bookings
  • Praised for thoroughness on deep cleans, including jet-washing outdoor areas
  • Responsive head office, per multiple reviewers
  • Covers ironing and gardening as add-ons alongside standard cleaning

Our take: The strongest pick here for someone who wants the same cleaner back each time rather than a random match. Ratings and repeat-booking mentions both back that up.

4.5348 Google reviews

Perfect Cleaning is a London cleaning company built around carpet cleaning, house cleaning, end-of-tenancy cleaning and one-off spring cleans, and its own marketing leans heavily on moving-out cleans aimed at getting a tenant's deposit back.

  • Largest review base on this page for house cleaning specifically
  • Detailed end-of-tenancy service including key collection and photo updates for tenants who cannot be present
  • Competitive pricing versus other quotes, according to several reviewers

Our take: The specialist to call if the job is specifically an end-of-tenancy clean and deposit return matters. For routine weekly cleaning, City Housekeeping and Better Call Moe edge it on rating.

West Clean Ltd

4.5189 Google reviews

West Clean Ltd is a London cleaning company covering house cleaning, end-of-tenancy work, carpet and window cleaning and upholstery care, and it markets itself as a multi-purpose cleaner for both homes and businesses. Reviews describe quick turnaround on short-notice bookings, including one job confirmed and staffed within days, and the company supplies its own equipment and products for every visit.

What people praise

  • Able to confirm and staff jobs on short notice, including an emergency same-week booking
  • Provides its own cleaning supplies and equipment
  • Competitive quotes versus other companies, per reviewers
  • Full deposit returned for tenants after end-of-tenancy cleans, per multiple reviews

Worth knowing

  • One reviewer reported the standard of a deep clean fell short of what was agreed, worth confirming exactly what a 'deep clean' includes before booking
  • Reviews are the oldest on this page on average, so recent consistency is harder to judge

Watch: 5 Best House Cleaning Services in London (2026)

How we score these cleaners

Every number on this page is pulled from public Google data on the date shown, not opinion or payment. Rating is the business’s live Google star average. Review volume shows how many customers have rated them, measured against the other house cleaners on this page. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 built on hundreds of reviews carries more weight than one built on a handful. Recency reflects how recently people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does house cleaning cost in London? (2026)

Domestic cleaning in London is usually priced hourly for regular visits and per-job for end-of-tenancy or deep cleans, with cost driven by property size, how often you book and whether products and equipment are supplied. Based on the rates published directly by businesses on this page:

JobTypical price
Regular hourly domestic cleanFrom £18.50/hr

Hourly rate compiled July 2026 from Housekeep’s own published pricing. Other businesses on this page quote per job rather than a fixed hourly rate; ask for a written quote based on your property size and cleaning frequency.

Serving homes across London

The house cleaners above cover homes across central and greater London, from Farringdon and Shoreditch to the West End and outer boroughs. Searching for a house cleaner near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number and address so you can check they cover your postcode fast.

What to ask before booking a house cleaner

  • Will I get the same cleaner every visit, or does it vary?
  • Is the quote hourly or a fixed price for the job, and what exactly does it cover?
  • Do you supply cleaning products and equipment, or do I need to provide them?
  • How do you handle access if I’m not home, and is key-holding an option?
  • Are cleaners vetted, insured and background checked?
  • What happens if I’m not happy with a clean, is there a re-clean guarantee?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these house cleaning services?

We started from every house cleaning provider in London with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. See How we score these cleaners above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (July 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

What’s the difference between an app-based cleaner and a cleaning company?

App-based platforms like Housekeep match you with a cleaner by postcode and bill automatically, prioritising speed and flexibility. Traditional companies like City Housekeeping or Better Call Moe tend to send the same person or small team back each visit, which can mean more consistency but less on-demand flexibility.

Do these companies handle end-of-tenancy cleaning?

Yes, several businesses on this page, including Perfect Cleaning, West Clean and Better Call Moe, specialise in end-of-tenancy cleans aimed at securing a full deposit return. Confirm exactly what’s included, as standards for ‘end of tenancy’ vary.

The bottom line

For most Londoners booking a routine home clean, City Housekeeping is the safe default on rating and repeat-cleaner continuity. If you want the fastest booking with the largest pool of available slots, Housekeep’s app covers more ground, just read recent reviews for your specific job type before you book.
