Typical jobs and what they go for
| Job | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Regular clean, 1 bed flat, 2 to 3 hours | £40 to £70 |
| Regular clean, 3 bed house, 3 to 4 hours | £65 to £110 |
| One-off deep clean including oven and limescale | £140 to £280 |
What changes the price for cleaning
- Size and number of bathrooms. Bathrooms and kitchens take the longest per square metre. Bedroom count matters less than you would think.
- Regular or one-off. A weekly clean of a maintained home is much faster than a first visit, so regular bookings carry a lower hourly rate.
- Level of clean. A tidy-and-surfaces clean is not the same job as inside the oven, behind the fridge and descaling a shower screen.
- Who supplies products. Cleaners bringing their own machine and products price a little higher and are usually worth it.
What is usually included
- Kitchen, bathrooms, floors and surfaces
- Own cloths and standard products
And what is usually not
- Inside the oven, unless asked for
- Windows outside
- Moving heavy furniture
- Laundry and ironing
The one thing that saves the most money
Book the same cleaner regularly rather than one-offs. The second visit is always faster than the first, and the hourly rate for a standing slot is lower.

Common questions
How much does cleaning cost in the UK?
£30 to £120 for most jobs, with a median of £75. Typical prices for cleaning in the UK, from current UK market rates. Post your task to get exact fixed-price offers.
What makes cleaning more expensive?
Size and access are the two biggest factors, followed by urgency. Same-day and weekend work carries a premium, and anything above ground-floor level or requiring specialist equipment costs more. Materials, waste disposal and parking are often quoted separately, so check what is included.
How do I get an accurate price?
Post the job with photos, measurements and access details, and you will get fixed-price offers rather than estimates. Posting is free and there is no booking fee, so comparing three or four offers costs you nothing.
Should I pay per hour or a fixed price?
A fixed price for the whole job puts the risk of it overrunning on the tasker rather than on you. That is why every offer on Taskerama is a fixed total.
