If you have ever booked a flat clean in London and then spotted a "small extra charge" on the invoice, you are not alone.

If you run an office in Clerkenwell and your team comes and goes through Farringdon station, you already know the rhythm of the area: early commuters, late finishers, meeting rooms that somehow gather crumbs by lunchtime, and bins that fill faster than anyone expects.

If you are comparing cleaning quotes in Fulham Broadway, you are probably trying to answer a very normal question: what should a fair quote include, and how do you tell a good deal from a cheap-looking one that later grows legs?

If you let flats in Chelsea SW3, you already know the cleaning standard is rarely just about "looking tidy".
