About Us
Clapham Homes started with a problem every SW Londoner recognises: finding a cleaner you can actually trust. Not a rotating cast of strangers from an app, not a franchise that treats your home as ticket #4,281 — someone reliable, local, and genuinely good at the job.
We kept hearing the same story from friends and neighbours across Clapham, Battersea and Wandsworth: a cleaner who cancelled last-minute, one who never quite cleaned properly, one who simply stopped turning up. People weren't asking for much — just consistency and a bit of respect for their home and their time. It turned out that was surprisingly hard to find in South West London, where demand for good cleaners far outstrips the supply of reliable ones.
So we built the thing we couldn't find ourselves: a genuinely local cleaning company, with vetted, insured cleaners who stay assigned to your home, and a founder who still answers WhatsApp messages personally.
We're based in Clapham, and South West London is where we live, not just where we operate. Every cleaner we take on is someone we'd be comfortable recommending to our own family. Most of our cleaners live in the areas they clean — which means they know the buildings, the parking, the door codes, and they have a personal stake in the neighbourhood looking good.
Every customer relationship is built to last years, not one booking. That's why our reviews are full of people who've used us for months or years, not a one-off clean — 4.9 stars from 74 Google reviews, the majority from repeat customers across Clapham, Battersea, Wandsworth, Fulham and the rest of SW London.
We believe a clean home is the foundation everything else gets built on. It's hard to cook a proper meal in a cluttered kitchen, hard to switch off in a bedroom that feels chaotic, hard to find the energy for a run or a gym session when you come home to a mess that adds another job to your evening.
A clean, cared-for home clears the mental space to actually live an active, healthy life — rather than spending your one free evening this week scrubbing a bathroom instead of seeing friends, cooking properly, or getting outside on Clapham Common. That's the real job we do: not just cleaning, but giving you back the time and headspace to live well.
What we stand for
Cancelled or no-show cleaners were the #1 complaint we set out to fix. The same cleaner wherever possible, and a WhatsApp line that targets under 3 hours to reply.
Every cleaner is background-checked and reference-checked before they ever enter your home, and every visit is covered by public liability insurance.
Based in Clapham, run by people who live in SW London. Most of our cleaners live in the areas they clean.
4.9★ from 74 Google reviews — the majority from customers who’ve stayed with us for months or years, not a single booking.
If you've been let down by cleaners before, we understand why you're cautious — and we'd like the chance to change your mind.
