Every Lewisham Home Needs Its Own Approach
In Lewisham you’ll find a Victorian terrace, a 1960s Span house and a riverside tower within a few miles of each other. Each one gets dirty in its own way. Our cleaners know the difference, so your regular clean covers what actually matters in your home.
Victorian and Edwardian terraces
The terraces of Brockley, Ladywell, Hither Green and the Corbett Estate have bay windows, sash runners, ceiling roses, deep skirting and tiled hallways. Dust settles in all of them. We work through each detail carefully and never rush original features.
Flats, old and new
Converted top-floor flats with steep stairs, council blocks from New Cross to Bellingham, and new apartments in Deptford, Lewisham Gateway and Catford. There’s often no storage and sometimes a concierge to get past. Our cleaners bring every product and tool with them and take it all away again.
Glass, kitchens and limescale
Span houses in Blackheath have walls of glass, and new-builds have glossy kitchens and frameless showers. Lewisham’s hard water spots and clouds all of it within days. We tackle limescale and fingerprints at every visit, so you never face a big build-up.
Busy family homes
Family houses in Lee, Catford and Sydenham see school runs, after-school clubs and muddy dogs back from Blythe Hill Fields or Mayow Park. With a fixed weekly or fortnightly slot, the house gets cleaned on schedule, however hectic your week has been.
How Booking a Cleaner Works
Booking takes a minute online or one phone call, and from then on the same cleaner comes to your home on the same day each week or fortnight.

Cleaning Company or Cash-in-Hand Cleaner?
A cash-in-hand cleaner can look cheaper per hour, but the homeowner usually carries the risk if something is broken, the cleaner doesn’t turn up, or keys go missing.

What Lewisham Customers Say
★★★★★ Trustpilot 5.0 from 452 reviews · Google 4.7 from 361 reviews
“Two kids under six and a tall Victorian house with stairs everywhere – I’d given up trying to keep on top of it. Now Tuesday is the day the house resets. Our cleaner even dusts the picture rails, which I didn’t know needed doing.”
Claire F. · Granville Park, SE13
“I work shifts at the hospital, so I needed someone I could trust with a key. Same cleaner every other Friday for eight months now, never late, never missed a visit. Coming home to a clean flat after nights makes a real difference.”
Ade O. · Fordel Road, SE6
“Our mansion flat has huge old windows and a bathroom the limescale loves. The shower screen is clear for the first time since we moved in. When I needed to swap a day for a delivery, the office sorted it in one call.”
Nadia K. · Sydenham Park, SE26
“We’d been arguing about whose turn it was to do the kitchen for years. Now we don’t have to. The dog leaves mud everywhere after the park and it’s always gone by the time we’re home. Worth every penny.”
Graham E. · Burnt Ash Road, SE12

Cleaning in SydenhamDomestic Cleaning in Lewisham: Your Questions Answered
Practical answers about cleaning Lewisham’s terraces, conversions and new-build flats, plus what to expect from your regular cleaner.
How long should a regular clean take in a Lewisham Victorian terrace?
Usually longer than people expect. A three-bedroom terrace in Brockley, Ladywell or Hither Green often has three floors, a long staircase, bay windows and original features that collect dust. Three to four hours a week is typical for a family house of this size, and a two-bedroom flat in a converted terrace usually needs two to three. We’ll suggest a length when you book and adjust it after the first few visits once your cleaner knows the house.
Can you clean a top-floor conversion flat with steep shared stairs and no lift?
Yes. A lot of Lewisham’s flats are like this, especially in Brockley, Catford and Sydenham. Your cleaner brings a compact vacuum and all their own products up the stairs, so you don’t need to store anything. If you’d like, they’ll also take your recycling down on the way out, and they’ll keep the shared hallway clear of kit throughout the visit.
I live in a new-build flat in Deptford – what do you need from me?
Just the building’s access details. Tell us if there’s a concierge, a fob system or a key-collection point, and we’ll register your cleaner with building management where that’s needed. New-build flats usually have glossy kitchens, frameless showers and floor-to-ceiling glass. These show every fingerprint and hard-water mark, so your cleaner gives them extra attention at every visit.
My home is full of pet hair – is a regular clean enough?
For most homes, yes, if the visits are frequent enough. With one dog or cat, a fortnightly clean keeps hair under control. With several pets, or a long-haired breed that moults heavily, we’d recommend weekly. Your cleaner pays particular attention to sofas, stairs, skirting and under beds. If you’d like your own pet-safe products used, just leave them out.
Can my cleaner do laundry and change the beds?
Yes. Many customers add laundry to their regular visit. Your cleaner can put a wash on at the start, hang or tumble it before they leave, change the beds and fold clean linen. Ironing can be added too. Let us know when you book so we allow enough time in your slot.
What should I do before my cleaner’s first visit?
Not much. Clear away anything you don’t want moved, such as paperwork, children’s projects or fragile ornaments, and tell us about anything that needs special care: marble, natural stone, untreated wood or an expensive rug. If you can be home for the first visit, walk your cleaner round and show them your priorities. If not, a short note works just as well.
