How much does a cleaner cost in the UK?

If you are comparing quotes or setting a budget, it helps to know what drives price in the UK: where you live, the type of clean, how long the job takes, and whether you book a self-employed cleaner or a company with staff and overheads.

Typical price ranges (indicative)

Hourly rates for regular house cleaning often fall roughly between £15 and £25 per hour depending on region and experience. Deep cleans, end-of-tenancy work, and one-off blitz jobs are usually priced higher per hour or as a fixed job price because they take longer and need more equipment and products.

Agencies and franchises sometimes quote higher headline rates but bundle insurance and replacement cover. Independent cleaners may charge less but you should confirm what is included (products, equipment, insurance) before you book.

What changes the total cost?

• Property size and condition — more rooms, pets, or built-up grime means more time.
• Frequency — regular weekly or fortnightly cleans often work out cheaper per visit than sporadic one-offs.
• Extras — ovens, inside cupboards, windows, and carpet spot treatments are often add-ons.

The fairest way to compare is to get like-for-like quotes for the same task list and duration. On Fillio you can search cleaners by postcode, see how they price services, and move straight into a booking request when you are ready.
