How Much Does a Cleaner Cost in Berkshire & Buckinghamshire? (2026)

If you're thinking about hiring a cleaner in Berkshire or Buckinghamshire, the first question is usually the simplest: what will it cost? This guide gives honest, up-to-date price ranges for the main types of home cleaning across our area (RG, SL and HP postcodes), explains what drives the price up or down, and shows exactly how paying for a clean works on my cleanerHUB.

The short answer

Most domestic cleaners in Berkshire and Buckinghamshire charge roughly £15–£22 per hour. On my cleanerHUB, cleaners are independent professionals who set their own hourly rate, so the exact figure varies by cleaner, your location and the type of clean. Here's a rough guide by service:

• Regular house cleaning – around £15–£20/hour, typically 2–3 hours per visit
• One-off clean – similar hourly rate, with no ongoing commitment
• Deep clean – usually a little higher per hour, and more hours, as it's more thorough
• End of tenancy clean – often priced for the whole job; expect from around £120 upwards depending on property size
• After builders clean – priced on the size and condition of the property

These are indicative market ranges to help you budget – always get an instant quote for your exact home and service before you book.

What affects the price of a clean?

• How big your home is – more bedrooms and bathrooms means more hours
• The type of clean – a deep or end-of-tenancy clean takes longer than a regular tidy-up
• How often you book – regular weekly or fortnightly cleans are usually better value than one-offs
• Condition – a home that hasn't been cleaned in a while, or a post-renovation property, needs more time
• Add-ons – extras like inside the oven, internal windows or ironing add time

How paying for a clean works on my cleanerHUB

We've made booking and paying simple and secure:

• Enter your postcode, pick your service and time, then choose your cleaner
• Your payment is authorised, not taken, to secure the booking
• Funds are only released to your cleaner 24 hours after the clean is completed
• Once confirmed, your price is locked unless you request changes
• We accept debit/credit cards and Apple Pay – cash and off-platform payment are never used

Your invoice shows a clear breakdown: your cleaner's fee on one line and my cleanerHUB's service fee on a separate line, with VAT applied only to our service fee. This reflects the way the platform is structured – cleaners are independent professionals, and my cleanerHUB acts as agent, introducing the booking and handling payment.

Plans change, so our cancellation policy is straightforward:

• Free – more than 24 hours before your booking start time
• 50% charge – within 24 to 12 hours of the start time

What you're getting for your money

Every booking is covered by our TrustClean Promise. It reflects the checks we run – cleaner vetting and ID verification through TrustID – and the dispute-support we provide if something isn't right. If a cleaner doesn't attend, you're entitled to a full refund. It isn't insurance or a guarantee of a particular outcome, but it does mean you're supported if a problem comes up. You can read more on our Trust Clean Index page and in our Resident FAQs.
