However, the average cost for a housekeeper outside of London is slightly lower at \u00a310 to \u00a318 an hour. It\u2019s pretty standard for services in London to cost more, so be sure to factor this into your decision-making.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, housekeeping services in larger cities will be more expensive, simply because living and travel costs are higher. But if you live in a rural village, your options may be more limited, so you might find you have to pay more anyway.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Calculating_Housekeeping_Costs\"><\/span>Calculating Housekeeping Costs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A housekeeper is slightly different to a cleaner in that they come regularly \u2013 either weekly or fortnightly \u2013 to clean your home. On the other hand, a cleaner may only come once, such as for end-of-tenancy cleaning, or they might offer commercial cleaning services.<\/p>\n<p>There are various factors that can impact how much you pay for a housekeeper. These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The size of your home. Unsurprisingly, you\u2019ll pay more if you have a bigger house because the housekeeper will be there longer.<\/li>\n<li>Services required. Housekeepers can take care of more than cleaning. For example, they might help run errands, organise storage, do ironing, and more. Again, you can expect to pay more if you need more done because it\u2019ll take your housekeeper more time.<\/li>\n<li>Number of people in your home. This is more of an indirect influence on cost. Generally, more people will mean more mess, especially if you have kids. You won\u2019t get charged more because you have kids, but it\u2019s fair to assume that having kids will often mean your house needs more cleaning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Of course, these are just general guidelines. To get a more representative cost for your housekeeping services, you\u2019ll want to speak to a company to get a specific quote.<\/p>\n<p>If you think the price is right, please read our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/cleaning-express.com\/how-to-find-a-housekeeper-uk\/\">how to find a housekeeper UK<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Do_Housekeepers_Offer\"><\/span>What Do Housekeepers Offer?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019ve already touched on some of the services offered by housekeepers. Let\u2019s explain things in more detail so you can understand the benefits of hiring a housekeeper.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Household_Cleaning\"><\/span>Household Cleaning<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The most obvious service housekeepers offer is cleaning. This\u2019ll include hoovering, dusting, mopping, bathroom cleaning, and so on. Although housekeepers aren\u2019t \u201cjust\u201d cleaners, it\u2019s one of the many branches of chores they offer to make your life easier.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Running_Errands\"><\/span>Running Errands<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Housekeepers can also run errands if you\u2019re busy at work. These generally include day-to-day activities like shopping, going to the post office, walking dogs, and so on. The actual scope of errands your housekeeper will offer depends on their training and insurance, so make sure you get a clear list of what they can and can\u2019t do.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Home_Organisation\"><\/span>Home Organisation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>One of the best things housekeepers offer is household organisation. It\u2019s one of those jobs that you always put off because it can be big (and boring). Provided you set clear instructions, a housekeeper can take care of things like organising your kitchen, clearing out wardrobes, tidying offices, and so on.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cooking_and_Preparing_Meals\"><\/span>Cooking and Preparing Meals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This might not be standard for all housekeepers, but some will be happy to help with meal prep if you\u2019re busy. It could be anything from fully cooking an evening meal to prepping ingredients or putting things in the oven for you. Again, discuss this with your housekeeper to see what they can do.<\/p>\n<p>Does a housekeeping service sound like its not for you?
