Home cleaning in City of London
The City has a small but growing number of residents, mostly in flats at the Barbican, Golden Lane and new developments around the Square Mile.
We match City of London 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 City of London
Barbican flats have their own quirks — concrete floors, tall windows, the odd spiral stair — and they clean up beautifully with the right products, which are yours.
Barbican, Golden Lane Estate, Aldgate, Smithfield, Whitefriars and Blackfriars: all part of City of London as far as we're concerned.
Cleaning in City of London
Between the street and your flat there may be a front desk, a fob-controlled lobby and a lift. Agree a way past each with your cleaner, and tell whoever staffs the desk to expect them.
A small flat may leave room in the two-hour minimum for a bed change or a wash. Ask through your account, or add time if it won't fit.
If your cleaner would need to park, say so at booking and mention any visitor spaces your building has.
Questions from City of London
I travel a lot for work — can I pause my cleans in the Barbican?
Yes. Pause with 48 hours' notice and your flat is left alone until you want visits again. Cancelling needs the same notice.
Is two hours enough for a studio in the City?
Our minimum visit is two hours, and a studio fits inside it with the kitchen, bathroom and floors done each time. Want longer? We can adjust the hours whenever you like.

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.
