Home cleaning in Kennington
Kennington's Georgian terraces and garden squares sit between the Oval and the Imperial War Museum, a short walk from Westminster.
We match Kennington 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.

Cleaning in Kennington
A Georgian terraced house is tall rather than wide, with a room or two on each floor, so a good share of every visit goes on stairs and landings. Say how many floors you have when you book.
In the post-war blocks there are two ways in to plan for: the main entrance, with its entry phone or fob, and then your own door. Talk your cleaner through each of them in advance, because a fob that won't open the outer door can hold up a whole visit.
Old floorboards, painted woodwork and original fireplaces want a gentle approach. Leave out products that suit them and point out anything fragile; it's your products your cleaner will reach for.
Permit-only bays outside? Give us the details at booking, because a cleaner who drives needs to know before setting off rather than on arrival.
Questions from Kennington
Is a tall Georgian house much more work than a flat?
Not in our quote, which is based on bedrooms and bathrooms however many storeys they're spread over: a four-bed with two bathrooms comes out at four hours in our quote. If the stairs stretch it, we can adjust the hours whenever you like.
Can my cleaner come to my estate flat while I'm at work?
Yes — being out during the clean is completely normal. You arrange access directly with your cleaner — make sure that covers the block's entrance too, as a visit lost on the doorstep is still charged.

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.
