Home cleaning in Sydenham
Sydenham has grand Victorian villas and conversions on the hill, with Mayow Park, the Overground and Crystal Palace Park a short walk away.
We match Sydenham 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.

Where we clean in Sydenham
Sydenham Road, Sydenham Hill, Mayow Park, Kirkdale, Lower Sydenham and Sydenham station: all part of Sydenham as far as we're concerned.
Grand Victorian villas on the hill, many split into flats — allow for the stairs, and tell us which floor you're on.
Cleaning in Sydenham
Rooms in these villas are large and high-ceilinged, and the quote looks at bedrooms and bathrooms, not square footage. If your living rooms are generous, add half an hour.
With several flats behind one front door, your cleaner needs to know which bell to press and how the communal door is opened. Settle it with them before the first clean.
A villa kept as one house often has a long garden behind it, and the back door brings it indoors. In wet weather, put the kitchen and hall high on the list.
Questions from Sydenham
My flat is one floor of a big Victorian house — how long will it take?
A two-bed with one bathroom comes out at two and a half hours in our quote. Rooms in these houses tend to be big, so if it runs over, we can adjust the hours whenever you like.
Is there anything to know about parking on the hill?
Give us the parking picture at booking — a drive, free spaces on the street or permit bays — and a cleaner coming by car will know what to expect.

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.
