The right method for the floor
We identify the surface first, so the clean suits it.
Quoted per job
Hard floor cleaning
Mopping keeps a floor looking fine day to day. It doesn't reach the grout lines, the edges or the film that builds up over months. This does.
- Kitchens and utility rooms
- Bathrooms and en-suites
- Hallways and entrances
Hard floors back to their real colour
Hard floors dull slowly: a film of residue from everyday mopping, dirt packed into grout lines, a grey edge along the skirting. We identify the floor type first, because what's safe on ceramic tile isn't safe on laminate, then clean the whole area including edges and corners. Grout lines get attention where they're part of the quote.
Hard floors look fine from a distance long after they've stopped being properly clean. The grout goes dark, a grey line appears along the skirting, and everyday mopping leaves a thin film that dulls the surface.
We identify the floor first — ceramic, porcelain, vinyl, laminate — because each needs a different approach and some are easily damaged by too much water. Then we clean the whole area, including edges and corners, and the grout lines where they're part of the job. Hard floor cleaning is often booked with an after builders clean or a deep clean.

Prices
Hard floor cleaning prices
Hard floors are priced once we know the floor type, the area and the condition. A small vinyl kitchen and a large tiled hallway with dirty grout are very different jobs.
What affects the price
- Type of floor
- Size of the area
- Grout and residue
- Everyday dirt or building work
Before we arrive
- Clear the floor of furniture, rugs and bins where you can
- Tell us what the floor is if you know
- Let us know if it has been sealed or treated
Being honest about results
- Cleaning lifts dirt and residue; it doesn't repair scratches, chips or worn finishes.
- Stained or cracked grout may improve but not return to new.
- Natural stone can need specialist products; tell us if your floor is stone.
