Should I really publish my prices?

For domestic cleaning, almost certainly. Homeowners comparing cleaners want a number, and the company that shows one gets the booking while competitors are still promising to call back. Publishing bands (by bedrooms and bathrooms) keeps flexibility for unusual jobs. Commercial contracts are different; those stay quoted.

What does the tool stack cost to run?

Typically £50 to £150 per month all-in for booking, payments, and messaging automation, depending on client volume. Against the hours of quoting, invoicing, and chasing it removes, it is usually the best money a cleaning company spends.

Will older clients cope with direct debit and online booking?

Yes. GoCardless is a one-time two-minute signup, and after that clients do nothing at all, which they prefer to remembering bank transfers. Online booking runs alongside the phone, not instead of it; the point is that the phone stops being the only door.

Can this scale to multiple cleaners and teams?

That is exactly when it pays off most. Scheduling, route notes, and job checklists stop living in the owner's head, so adding a cleaner does not add chaos. The systems we set up are the same ones cleaning companies run at twenty staff; you just start them at two.

Cleaning is won on responsiveness and lost on admin. We set up instant online quoting priced by bedrooms and bathrooms, recurring bookings with direct debit collection, and the reminder messages that stop lockouts, so evenings go back to being evenings.

Sound familiar?

The problems we keep seeing.

Cleaning company owners tell us the cleaning is the easy half of the business.

Every quote needs a phone call you do not have time to make
Invoices get chased at the kitchen table on Sunday night
Lockouts and forgotten appointments burn paid staff hours
Recurring clients quietly cancel and nobody notices for weeks
New enquiries go cold because you replied eight hours later
The schedule lives in your head and breaks when you take a day off

What we build

Fixed-scope fixes, priced up front.

Each of these is a defined piece of work with a clear price and a clear finish line, not an open-ended retainer. Start with the one that hurts most.

Instant online quoting
from £500 setup
Published pricing by bedrooms, bathrooms, or square footage. Customers price and book their own clean in two minutes, which for domestic work beats 'contact us for a quote' every time.
Payments that collect themselves
GoCardless direct debit for recurring clients, Stripe for one-offs, and automatic invoice chasing for commercial contracts. Nothing gets forgotten because nothing is manual.
Reminder and follow-up messages
Night-before reminders that cut lockouts, post-clean quality check-ins, and review requests, all automatic. The monthly 'how are we doing' message alone measurably slows churn.
A website that converts
from £1,000
Fast, mobile-first, with the quote calculator front and centre and reviews doing the selling. Built to turn a Google search into a booked clean without a phone call.
