Semis are Hillingdon’s most common home, 35.1% of households at the 2021 Census, and a weekly cleaner for one costs £23 an hour. Fewer than a third of households (30.9%) live in flats.

Semis, detached houses and purpose-built flats

After semis come terraced houses (19.9% of households) and detached houses (13.9%). Almost all the flats are in purpose-built blocks, 26.2% of households, and only 2.9% are in converted houses. Owners make up 56.6% of households, private renters 25.9% and social renters 16.1%.

A family house takes longer than a flat, so the hours are agreed on the call. Three is the minimum for a regular visit; a four-bedroom house on a weekly rota may need more, or a rota that gives each bedroom its turn.

In Uxbridge South and Brunel wards, turning a single house into an HMO for up to six people needs planning permission, and Uxbridge has its own page with its parking and its student lets. The TW6 postcode around Heathrow is shared with Hounslow and Spelthorne, so some addresses there come under a neighbouring council’s rules.

Hillingdon prices

A weekly cleaner is £23 an hour and a fortnightly one £24, for 3 hours or longer each visit, so three hours weekly comes to £69. Deep cleans are £26 for each cleaner-hour and £30 for equipment and detergents, starting at £186 for two cleaners over three hours. The minimum for one-off work is £67. On a one-off clean we add street parking at its cost on the day where there is no free parking, capped at £40. The rest is on the price list.

A regular visit and a deep clean in a Hillingdon house

One cleaner comes on the same day each week or fortnight, and we keep it the same person wherever we can manage it. The kitchen and the bathrooms are cleaned in full each time; the rest of the house is dusted, hoovered and mopped, with the stairs and landing included and the bedrooms on a rota if the hours run short.

Limescale is a large part of the bathroom work. Affinity Water’s 2025 reports for the Hillingdon-area zones run from 278 mg/l in Yeading, hard on Thames Water’s scale, to 348 mg/l in Northwood, which is very hard (single samples in each case). Taps, shower heads and screens are descaled on every visit.

A deep clean brings two or more cleaners and their equipment for the build-up: inside the emptied cupboards, the tops of doors, skirting, radiators, grout and the floor behind movable furniture. You keep the water and power on.

For a move, the end of tenancy clean is a fixed price from £156 up to £425 for a four-bedroom house. If the inventory clerk marks anything we cleaned and you tell us within 48 hours, we return to put it right. Carpets are cleaned by hot water extraction, with stairs at £41 a flight, and ovens are cleaned by hand in your kitchen from £77.

Parking vouchers and the new HMO licence

Hillingdon’s permit-holder bays usually operate 9am to 5pm on weekdays, and anyone can park in them outside the hours on the sign. Inside those hours the cleaner needs a visitor voucher. A resident’s visitor permit, issued with proof of address, holds up to 50 virtual sessions; the first ten vouchers for each property are free and more cost £15.60 for ten. Pay and display bays usually charge from 8am to 6.30pm Monday to Saturday, and most machines give 30 minutes free with a HillingdonFirst card.

Landlords of shared houses have a new scheme. Additional HMO licensing, designated on 19 February 2026, has covered the whole borough since 24 August 2026 and runs to 23 August 2031, for homes with three or more people from two or more households; mandatory licensing continues for five or more. The council set 23 August 2026 as the deadline to apply and can take enforcement action from 24 August. The standard licence fee is £1,401.

Questions about cleaning in Hillingdon

Will the council take furniture before I move out?

Yes. The bulky waste collection costs £53 for up to six items for residents and £94 for landlords, with one slot a day, Monday to Friday from 6am. The council also lists the Harefield Civic Amenity Site (UB9 6LX), Space Waye in Feltham and the West Drayton waste weekends at Tavistock Road.

Do you cover Heathrow and the TW6 postcode?

We cover the Hillingdon and Hounslow parts of TW6. If your address falls under Spelthorne, send the form or ring anyway; we work in the 32 London boroughs and the City, and we will tell you on the call whether we can come.

How long does a deep clean of a detached house take?

With two cleaners, a four-bedroom house usually takes six to eight hours, which is twelve to sixteen cleaner-hours at £26 plus £30. Three or four cleaners make the day shorter for about the same price, and we agree the hours on the call.

What does a weekly clean of a three-bedroom semi cost?

Three hours at £23 an hour comes to £69, and each extra hour adds £23. Fortnightly visits are £24 an hour. The £67 minimum applies only to one-off work.

Do you clean in Ruislip and Ickenham?

Yes. Both stations are in zone 6 on the Metropolitan and Piccadilly lines, and we cover every Hillingdon postcode, from UB3 and UB4 to UB10, UB11 and HA4.

Send the form with your Hillingdon postcode and the number of bedrooms, and we will ring back with the price.
