"How much does a cleaner cost?" is one of the questions we're asked most, and the honest answer is: it depends. Prices vary with the type of clean, the size and condition of the property, how often you book and where you are. Below we've set out realistic ranges for the North East and explained the factors behind them, so you can budget with confidence.

What affects the cost?
1. The type of clean
A regular maintenance clean is priced by time. A deep clean or end of tenancy clean is far more detailed — inside ovens, descaling, behind furniture — so it's usually priced per property rather than per hour.
2. Size of the property
More bedrooms and bathrooms mean more time and therefore a higher price. A one-bed flat costs considerably less than a four-bed house.
3. Condition
A home that's been kept on top of takes less time than one that hasn't been cleaned in months. End of tenancy and post-renovation cleans naturally sit at the higher end.
4. Frequency
Regular weekly or fortnightly cleans usually cost less per visit than one-offs, because the home stays in good condition between visits.
5. Extras
Add-ons like inside-oven cleaning, internal windows, or carpet and upholstery cleaning will increase the total but are often cheaper bundled into one visit.
Cheapest isn't always best value
It's tempting to just pick the lowest quote, but the cheapest cleaner isn't always the best value. Look for someone who is insured, DBS-checked, quotes a clear fixed price with no hidden extras, and stands behind their work with a guarantee. A slightly higher price for a reliable, insured, guaranteed clean usually works out cheaper than repeatedly replacing an unreliable one — or losing a deposit over a poor end of tenancy clean.
