How much does commercial cleaning cost?
Most UK office cleaning services charge £20 to £30 per cleaner per hour, according to hashtagclean.co.uk. That is a typical figure for the UK, and your own price depends on your premises and the hours you need.

The hourly range is a useful starting point, not a quote. Two offices of the same size can cost very different amounts to clean, because the work inside them is not the same.
What moves the price
- Size and layout
- How often
- Number of washrooms
- Number of kitchens
- Carpets and floors
- Windows
- Deep cleans
- Time of day
- Location
Why a very low hourly rate should worry you
The National Living Wage for workers aged 21 and over is £12.71 an hour from April 2026, and £13.21 from April 2027. The rates change on 1 April every year.
A cleaner’s pay is only part of what a firm charges for an hour of their time. If a quoted hourly rate is far below the typical £20 to £30 range, it is fair to ask how it covers wages, and what is being left out. A cheap quote that falls through costs you the time of finding another firm.
What to have ready for a quote
- The address and a rough size of the premises
- Which days and hours the building is empty or quiet
- How often you want it cleaned
- How many washrooms and kitchens there are
- Floor types, such as carpet, hard floor or both
- Whether you want windows or a deep clean included
- Any access details, such as keys, alarms or a reception desk
- What you pay now, if you are replacing a firm
Common questions about commercial cleaning costs
Is the £20 to £30 an hour figure what you will charge?
No. It is a typical UK range from hashtagclean.co.uk. Your price depends on your premises, and we give it to you as a written quote before any work starts.
Does evening or early morning cleaning cost more?
The time of day is one of the things that can move the price. Tell us the hours that suit you and we build the contract around them.
Do I have to commit to a contract to get a price?
No. There is no obligation to go ahead. You get a written quote and decide in your own time.
Do windows and carpets cost extra?
Carpets, windows and deep cleans typically cost more than routine cleaning. Tell us if you want them included and we price them with the rest.
