Home cleaning in Thamesmead
Thamesmead is a 1960s new town on the river being rebuilt around new flats and houses, with Southmere Lake and the Elizabeth line at Abbey Wood.
We match Thamesmead 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 Thamesmead
Southmere Lake, Thamesmead Town Centre, Tavy Bridge, Crossway, Abbey Wood station and Gallions Reach side: all part of Thamesmead as far as we're concerned.
1960s estate houses and new-build flats side by side; the newer blocks tend to be two-hour cleans, the houses nearer three.
Cleaning in Thamesmead
Many of the newer blocks have fob entry, and some a concierge. Make sure your cleaner can get from the street to your front door before the first visit.
In the older estate houses, the staircase and landing are part of every visit. Should that push the clean past the suggested time, you can book an extra half hour.
Own a parking space, or is there a bay near your door? Put it in your booking, and your cleaner won't waste the start of the visit looking for somewhere to leave the car.
Questions from Thamesmead
Why is my house quoted longer than a new flat nearby?
Your home's size in the quote is measured in bedrooms and bathrooms, nothing else. A one-bed with one bathroom comes out at two hours in our quote, the minimum we book, and every bedroom or bathroom beyond that puts thirty minutes on.
Can I book a clean every four weeks?
Yes — a visit every four weeks is available, as are weekly and fortnightly visits, and your cleaner stays the same throughout.

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.
