Local knowledge
Home cleaning that fits Southwark's commutes and shifts
Getting around Southwark depends on where you live. The north of the borough has the Jubilee line at London Bridge, Southwark, Bermondsey and Canada Water, plus the Northern and Bakerloo lines at Elephant and Castle. Camberwell, Peckham and the Dulwiches have no Underground station, so residents rely on the Overground at Peckham Rye and Denmark Hill, or on Southern and Thameslink trains. When the journey home is long, a cleaner who comes on a fixed day keeps the week manageable.
Work patterns vary too. If you work shifts at King's College Hospital in Denmark Hill or at Guy's by London Bridge, a regular slot on a day off means coming home to a clean flat without losing your rest day to chores. Bankside and Borough sit just across the river from the City, whose EC postcodes are among the districts where we work most.
Households are mixed. Much of central Southwark is purpose-built flats, many of them rented from the council: the 2021 Census put the borough top of every local authority in England for the share of households renting from the council. The south of the borough has far less council housing and more large Victorian and Edwardian houses, where stairs, floors and family bathrooms take most of the time.

Southwark properties and what we focus on
Flats in purpose-built blocks
Purpose-built flats are the most common Southwark home. A weekly or fortnightly visit covers the kitchen, bathroom, floors and dusting without many hours. Balcony doors and window sills on higher floors get a regular wipe, so city grime never has a chance to build up.
Terraced houses in Nunhead and Peckham
Late Victorian and Edwardian houses with a narrow hall and steep stairs collect street grit from the front door inwards. Visits concentrate on the hallway floor, stairs, kitchen and bathroom, which take the daily wear.
Large family houses in Dulwich
Bigger houses with three or four bedrooms, a family bathroom and an en suite need longer visits. A weekly slot at £17 per hour keeps the kitchen, bathrooms and floors under control, with bedrooms and living rooms covered in turn.

Before we arrive
Tips for your home cleaning in Southwark
- If you work rotating shifts at one of the hospitals, pick your most reliable day off for the regular visit. A slot that stays the same each week or fortnight is far easier to keep.
- In a block with a concierge, register the cleaner as a regular visitor once, so there is no wait at the desk each time.
- Put a laundry basket and a box for loose toys or papers somewhere obvious. The cleaner can then clear surfaces quickly and spend your paid hours cleaning rather than tidying.

FAQ
Home Cleaning in Southwark: questions
Do you offer weekly cleaners in Peckham and East Dulwich?
Yes. We cover SE15 and SE22, along with the rest of Southwark, on weekly, fortnightly and monthly plans. Both weekly and fortnightly plans are £17 an hour. Neither area has a tube station, so the commute is by rail or bus, and a fixed cleaning day takes one job out of a long week.
Is regular cleaning in Southwark guaranteed?
Yes. Get in touch within 24 hours with what was missed and we will send someone back to put it right. That applies to every weekly, fortnightly, monthly and one-off visit in Southwark. It is easiest to check the kitchen and bathroom that evening, while the visit is fresh in your mind.
Can I book a cleaner for a council flat in Southwark?
Yes. Council and housing association flats make up a large part of Southwark's homes, and we clean them just as we clean private flats. The hourly rate is the same: £17 on a weekly or fortnightly plan. Let us know about entry systems or lift access when you book.
What gets cleaned on each regular visit?
The standard list is dusting and wiping surfaces, vacuuming and mopping, kitchen counters with the sink and hob, the bathroom, bins and touchpoints, then a reset of bedrooms and living areas. If a Southwark flat only has a couple of hours booked, put your priorities at the top and the cleaner works down from there.
Do you cover Bermondsey, Borough and Rotherhithe?
Yes. SE1 and SE16 are both covered, from Bankside and Borough to Shad Thames, Rotherhithe and Surrey Quays. Tell us the building type and floor when you book, and we suggest a visit length that suits a riverside flat, a converted warehouse or a family house.
