When booking a clean, it is tempting to tick every box just in case. Yet a useful cleaning plan begins with your home, not with the longest possible list. The right extras are the ones that address a particular need and fit around the main service you have chosen.
HouseCleanings helps Nottingham households build that plan through our calculator. Select regular, deep or end-of-tenancy cleaning, enter your property size, then add the targeted services you would like us to discuss.
Start with your main priority
If the house is already maintained and you want help with everyday upkeep, regular cleaning may be a suitable starting point. When several rooms need closer attention, consider a deep clean. For a move, choose the relevant service and explain the handover arrangements.
The extras then address specific areas. An oven may need attention even when the rest of the kitchen looks tidy. Carpets can have different requirements from hard floors, while cupboard interiors require preparation that an ordinary surface clean does not.
Compare the available extras
| Extra | Useful when |
|---|---|
| Oven cleaning | The appliance interior needs attention |
| Carpet cleaning | Selected carpet rooms need a refresh |
| Fridge and freezer | Appliance interiors need cleaning |
| Interior windows | Inside glass needs attention |
| Kitchen cupboards | Empty cupboard interiors need care |
Give each selection some context
Choosing an extra tells us what you want; your message tells us about the actual job. Include the oven type, carpet room sizes or any unusually large windows. Describe existing damage, delicate materials and access restrictions where relevant.
That context matters because a standard selection cannot capture every property. We can discuss additional requirements and any estimate adjustment before work begins. It is much easier to agree these details in advance than to discover them when the visit is under way.
Review the summary before sending
Check the selected service, bedrooms, bathrooms and extras in your enquiry. Look at the estimated total, then make sure your message covers anything the calculator does not show. An enquiry is the beginning of the booking conversation, rather than an automatic confirmation of a visit.
Our aim is a clear, practical service built around your home. Based in Beeston and working across Nottingham, we bring an organised approach shaped by years of working together in professional kitchens.
If you are choosing extras for more than one room, prioritise the areas that affect daily life first. A clear kitchen or well-used sitting room may matter more to you than a room that is rarely occupied. Your priorities should guide the selection, not somebody else’s checklist.
Frequently asked questions
Must I select every extra?
No. Choose the tasks that your home needs and leave the others unticked.
Is the calculator total the final confirmed price?
It is an estimate. Property condition, size and extra requirements are discussed before the work is confirmed.
