Regular Cleaning Cost
Most people want the monthly number, not the hourly one. For a three-bed home in Derby, a weekly cleaner works out at about £325 a month, fortnightly at about £175, and monthly at about £100. Here is how those figures are built.

Monthly visit, two-bed home
Most people want the monthly number, not the hourly one. For a three-bed home in Derby, a weekly cleaner works out at about £325 a month, fortnightly at about £175, and monthly at about £100. Here is how those figures are built.
Regular cleaning is charged at £25 an hour, the same as everything else we do. The monthly cost is simply the hours per visit multiplied by the number of visits.
One thing that surprises people: weekly cleaning needs fewer hours per visit than fortnightly, because less builds up between visits. The gap in monthly cost is smaller than the gap in visit frequency suggests.
Monthly cost by frequency and property size
Monthly figures use 4.33 weeks per month. Hours per visit are typical starting points; we adjust after the first few visits once we know the property.
Common extras
- First visit takes longer
The first clean of a new home usually needs an extra hour or two to get to a maintainable baseline. After that it settles down.
- Inside oven and fridge
Not part of a standard regular clean. Add 45 to 60 minutes when you want them done, typically once a quarter.
- Ironing and laundry
Charged at the same £25 hourly rate when included in the visit. Tell us in advance so we allow the time.
- No contract
Regular cleaning is not a tied contract. Pause, change frequency or stop with a week's notice.
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly?
Weekly suits families, pets, home workers and anyone who wants the house to simply stay clean. Fortnightly is the most popular choice in Derby and is the right balance for most couples and small families. Monthly works as a reset rather than maintenance, and suits tidy households or people who mostly want the deep jobs done.
If you are unsure, start fortnightly. It is easy to move to weekly if the house drifts, and easy to drop to monthly if it does not.
What is included every visit
Kitchen surfaces, hob, sink, exterior of appliances and cupboard fronts. Bathrooms cleaned and descaled. All rooms dusted, including skirting boards and switches. Floors vacuumed and hard floors mopped. Beds made or changed if you leave the linen out.
You get the same cleaner each visit wherever possible, because a cleaner who knows your home works faster and does a better job. If yours is on holiday or ill, we send cover rather than cancelling.
