What does a cleaning company cost in Edinburgh?
A domestic cleaner charges £15–30 an hour in 2026, with London and the South East at the top of the range. A regular weekly clean of a two-bedroom home typically runs £45–75 a visit, a one-off deep clean £150–350, and an end of tenancy clean £150–400 depending on size. Agencies charge more than a self-employed cleaner but cover insurance, cover and vetting. In Edinburgh, prices are roughly 5% above the national average.
Things to know in Edinburgh
Much of central Edinburgh is a World Heritage Site, so listed-building consent governs windows, roofs and stonework. That narrows the pool of qualified firms and pushes prices above the Scottish average.
Checklist before hiring a cleaning company
- Confirm public liability insurance and whether cleaners are employed rather than untracked subcontractors
- Ask whether staff are DBS checked, especially if you have children at home
- Get a written checklist — what's included and what isn't
- Agree how keys, codes and alarms are handled
- Ask for references or read reviews from regular clients
- For an end of tenancy clean, ask whether they return free of charge if the letting agent objects
