Most asked questions
Good to know before you enquire.
Clear answers about quotes, booking confirmation, payments and what to expect from your HomeGlow clean.
Does the website confirm a price or booking?
No. The website collects details to help us understand your requirements. We review your enquiry, photographs, condition, access and priorities before issuing a written quote. A booking is confirmed only after HomeGlow verifies any required payment and sends confirmation.
How much notice should I give?
Please enquire at least 72 hours before your preferred date so we have time to review the job and allocate a cleaner or team. Shorter-notice requests can still be submitted but are subject to availability.
Which cleaning service should I choose?
Standard cleaning covers routine upkeep. Deep cleaning is a more detailed, condition-led service. Declutter and clean combines practical organisation with cleaning. End-of-tenancy cleaning follows an agreed move-out scope. Commercial cleaning is tailored to the premises, areas and frequency. See our service comparison for more detail.
How does pricing work?
Contact us for a quote. We price each service after reviewing the property or premises, required areas, condition, access, frequency, photographs and priorities. Your written quote confirms the agreed scope and payment terms.
Do you bring products and equipment?
You can ask HomeGlow to supply general cleaning products; any charge will be included in your written quote. Unless otherwise agreed, the client should provide a working mop, hoover and microfibre cloths. Specialist products or equipment must be agreed in advance.
How will the cleaner access my property?
You can be at home, arrange concierge access, use a key safe or agree another secure method. Include clear instructions in the enquiry. Do not send alarm codes or other sensitive access details until needed for a confirmed booking.
Can you clean when pets are present?
Yes, in many cases. Tell us about pets and any relevant behaviour or safety considerations. Pets should be secured away from active cleaning areas where needed.
Will I always have the same cleaner?
We aim for continuity for weekly customers where possible, but cannot guarantee the same person for every visit. Availability, leave and the needs of the job may require another approved cleaner or subcontractor.
When and how do I pay?
One-off standard cleans normally require full payment before confirmation. Tailored work may require a deposit after scope review, with the balance due as stated in the written quote. Payment options may include bank transfer, Starling payment link, GoCardless or another agreed method.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
Please provide at least 48 hours’ notice. With less than 24 hours’ notice, some or all of a deposit may be retained or a reasonable cancellation charge applied, depending on costs and whether the cleaner can be reallocated.
Does an end-of-tenancy clean guarantee my deposit back?
No. We clean to the written scope, but cannot guarantee a landlord’s or agent’s decision or the removal of permanent wear, damage, staining, mould, pests or maintenance issues unless a specific guarantee is expressly included.
What if I have a concern after the clean?
Contact us as soon as possible and, where practical, within 48 hours. Include photographs and a clear description so we can investigate and agree a proportionate resolution.
Why do you request photographs and how are they used?
Photographs help us understand condition, access, priorities and likely time before quoting. They are used for enquiry and service management, stored in restricted business systems and handled in line with our privacy notice.
Which areas do you cover?
HomeGlow covers all London areas. Availability is confirmed after we review the postcode, preferred date and requirements. Visit the Service Areas page for the full London borough list.
How do I get a quote?
Start with the online enquiry, then add your property details, priorities, preferred date and photographs. We review the information and contact you with a quote or any follow-up questions.
