Home cleaning in Barking
Barking mixes Victorian streets, the Barking Riverside development and new flats around the town centre, with the District line and Overground into town.
We match Barking households with a vetted, self-employed local cleaner for a regular weekly or fortnightly clean — the same person each visit, with our team on hand whenever you need us.

Good to know in Barking
Barking Riverside's new-build flats and the Victorian streets off Longbridge Road are worlds apart in layout, so we ask about the home before suggesting hours.
Barking Town Centre, Barking Riverside, Longbridge Road, Abbey Green, Barking Park and Gascoigne Estate: all part of Barking as far as we're concerned.
Cleaning in Barking
The blocks at Barking Riverside are newer, usually with fob entry and lifts. Getting past the main door and up to your floor is something to settle with your cleaner early.
In a Victorian terrace the stairs rise straight from the hall, and they're part of every visit; a three-bed with one bathroom comes out at three hours in our quote.
If your flat has an allocated bay or there are visitor spaces, tell us at booking so your cleaner can park without circling.
Questions from Barking
Do I need to give my cleaner a fob?
That's for you to decide with your cleaner and your building. You arrange access directly with your cleaner; just remember that if they arrive and can't get into the block, the visit is still charged.
Can I switch between weekly and fortnightly?
Yes, just ask. And if you're away for a while, you can pause or cancel with 48 hours' notice.

Common questions
How much does a clean cost?
You pay an hourly rate, and your price depends on the size of your home and how often you'd like a clean. Our instant-quote tool gives you an exact price in about a minute, with no card and no account needed. There are no sign-up fees and no hidden extras.
How are your cleaners vetted?
Every cleaner is ID-verified, DBS-checked, reference-checked and interviewed before their first booking. We only accept people with previous professional cleaning experience.
Can I have the same cleaner every time?
Yes, that's the default. We match you with a local cleaner on your first visit, and they stay with you unless you tell us otherwise. Consistency is the whole point.
Do I need to provide the cleaning products?
Yes, and the equipment too. Your cleaner uses your own products, vacuum, mop and cloths, so you stay in control of what's used in your home and you know what's being used in your home has only been used in your home.
Do I need to be home?
No, plenty of customers aren't. You arrange access directly with your cleaner. Poppins never holds keys or stores entry or alarm codes.
What if I need to cancel a clean?
Skip any visit with 48 hours' notice and there's no fee. With less notice, 50% of the clean is charged, and 100% within 24 hours. Either way it goes to your cleaner for the time they'd set aside.
