Home cleaning in Shirley
Shirley is a 1930s suburb of semis and detached family homes on the edge of Croydon, with Shirley Hills and Addington Park nearby.
We match Shirley 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 Shirley
1930s semis and detached family homes, many with a driveway and a good-sized garden — three hours a week is the usual starting point.
Wickham Road, Shirley Hills, Shirley Park, Monks Orchard, Addington Park and Shirley Oaks: all part of Shirley as far as we're concerned.
Cleaning in Shirley
Where the front and back rooms of a semi have been knocked into one, that long room holds most of the floor. If it gets the heaviest use, make it the priority in your account.
A converted garage used as a den or playroom won't show up in the quote, which counts bedrooms and bathrooms. If yours is lived in every day, put an extra half hour on.
Bigger detached homes often add an en-suite to the family bathroom. Enter it as a second bathroom, which lengthens the suggested visit by thirty minutes.
Questions from Shirley
Our semi has a ground-floor extension — will three hours still do?
A three-bed with one bathroom comes out at three hours in our quote. If the extension added a bedroom or bathroom, count it and the quote goes up by half an hour; a bigger kitchen alone doesn't change it, but you can add the time yourself.
Can I be out while the cleaner is in?
Yes. Being at work or out for the day while the cleaner is in is perfectly usual; how they get into the house is something you agree between you before the first visit.

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.
