Home cleaning in Elephant & Castle
Elephant & Castle is one of central London's biggest regeneration areas, with new towers around the old shopping centre site alongside Walworth's Georgian and Victorian streets.
We match Elephant & Castle 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 Elephant & Castle
New towers at Elephant Park and Walworth's Georgian and Victorian streets — modern flats tend to be two hours, houses three.
From Elephant Park to Kennington Park side, we cover Walworth Road, East Street Market, New Kent Road and Newington Causeway and the streets in between.
Cleaning in Elephant & Castle
Blocks at Elephant Park tend to have a concierge or fob entry and lifts to each floor. Your cleaner needs to get past both, so set it up with them before the first visit.
A new flat here is usually open-plan, kitchen and sofa in one room; worktops are wiped and the floor mopped every visit, which keeps the main room easy to live in.
In the older Georgian and Victorian houses, the stairs come with every clean, and each floor is vacuumed, not just the living rooms.
Questions from Elephant & Castle
I share a flat with two others — can we split one plan?
Yes. One person books and pays, and dividing it up is between you. Agree first which rooms are on the list, so your cleaner isn't caught between housemates.
I'm on a high floor — does that change anything?
Not the price, since the hours follow bedrooms and bathrooms. Tell us which floor and how the lift and entrance work, so your cleaner can get to you.

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.
