How much does house cleaning cost in Birmingham?
14 July 2026 · 5 min read
Cleaning quotes in Birmingham vary a lot, and it isn't always obvious why. Here's a plain breakdown of what people actually pay locally, and what should be included before you compare two numbers.
Typical Birmingham rates
Across the city, most domestic cleaners quote in one of three ways: an hourly rate, a fixed price per visit, or a fixed price per job for one-offs.
- Regular domestic cleaning: £18–£25 per hour (Preshine charges £20)
- Deep clean: £160–£280 depending on size and condition (Preshine from £180)
- End of tenancy: £200–£350 (Preshine from £220)
- Office / commercial: £16–£22 per hour (Preshine £18)
How long a clean actually takes
As a rough guide: a 1-bed flat takes around 2 hours, a 2–3 bed house 2.5–3 hours, and a 4-bed house 3.5–4 hours for a regular clean. Deep cleans take roughly double.
What should be included in the price
A quote that looks cheap often isn't once extras are added. Before booking, check whether these are included:
- Cleaning products and equipment
- Travel within your area
- Public liability insurance
- DBS-checked cleaners
- A re-clean if something is missed
Why the cheapest quote is rarely the cheapest
Very low hourly rates usually mean fewer hours on site, no insurance, or products charged separately. A £15/hr clean that takes four hours costs more than a £20/hr clean done properly in two and a half.
