How it works
Simple and free for customers. Powerful and fair for professionals. Here's the full picture.
Compare My Cleaning Quote is a marketplace that connects people who need cleaning with trusted local professionals who provide it. Whether you're a tenant facing a move-out inspection, a busy family wanting a regular cleaner, a landlord managing changeovers, or an office manager sourcing commercial cleaning, our job is to make finding the right pro fast, transparent and safe. Below we explain exactly how the process works on both sides of the marketplace, how pricing and credits work, and the steps we take to keep everyone protected.
For customers: get quotes in three steps
1. Post your request — free and fast
Start by telling us what you need. Choose the type of cleaning — end of tenancy, deep clean, regular domestic, carpet and upholstery, oven, windows, after-builders, or commercial — and add your postcode, rough budget, timing and a short description of the job. The more detail you give (property size, number of rooms, any extras like inside the oven or carpets), the more accurate your quotes will be. Posting takes about a minute and costs nothing, and you're never obligated to hire anyone.
2. Get matched with local pros
The moment you post, we notify professionals who cover your postcode area and offer the service you've requested. Interested pros review your job and, if it's a good fit, send you a tailored quote along with a short message introducing their business. Because several pros may respond, you get to compare genuine, job-specific prices rather than relying on a single company's rate card. You'll usually receive your first quotes within minutes.
3. Compare, chat and hire
Every quote comes attached to a full professional profile: their experience, the services they specialise in, the areas they cover, whether they're insured and ID-verified, and — crucially — honest reviews from previous customers. Take your time, ask questions, and hire the pro who feels right for your job and budget. You deal with them directly to arrange the work, and you're always in control.
Throughout, your privacy is protected. Your name, email and phone number are never shown publicly and are only shared with a professional at the point they send you a quote. That means you decide who gets to contact you, and you won't be bombarded with cold calls.
For professionals: win more local work
If you run a cleaning business, our platform gives you a steady, predictable source of local leads without the cost and uncertainty of traditional advertising. Here's how it works for you.
1. Create your free profile
Sign up and build a profile that sells your business: your name and tagline, an "about" section describing your experience and approach, the exact services you offer, the postcode areas you cover, your years of experience, and whether you're insured. A complete, professional profile wins significantly more work, because it's the first thing customers see next to your quote.
2. Receive matching leads instantly
Whenever a customer posts a job that matches your services and coverage area, we email you straight away. You can review the full details of the request — service type, location, budget, timing and description — before deciding whether it's worth pursuing. You're never charged simply for receiving a lead.
3. Spend credits to quote and win
When you find a lead you want, you spend credits to send the customer your quote and message. At that point — and only then — the customer's contact details are revealed to you, so you can follow up directly and close the job. There's no commission on the work you win and no ongoing contract; you simply top up credits when you need them.
How credits work
Credits are the simple, transparent way professionals pay for leads. Each lead costs a set number of credits depending on the service category — higher-value jobs like commercial and after-builders cleaning cost a little more than smaller jobs like oven or window cleaning. You can see the credit cost of every lead before you respond, so there are never any surprises.
You buy credits in packs, and they sit in your account until you choose to use them. Because you only ever spend credits on the leads you actually want, you stay in complete control of your marketing budget. And because we don't take a percentage of the jobs you win, the value you get from each customer is entirely yours. This model keeps quality professionals motivated to offer customers their best possible price and service — which benefits everyone on the platform.
Safety & verification
Trust is the foundation of any good marketplace, so we've built protection into every stage. Before anyone can post a request or respond to a lead, they must verify both their email address and their mobile number using one-time codes. This single step dramatically reduces fake and fraudulent leads, protecting professionals from wasted credits and protecting customers from bad actors.
On top of verification, we display insurance and ID-verification badges on professional profiles, publish genuine customer reviews, and use spam protection, rate-limiting and secure, encrypted connections throughout the site. We're also fully compliant with UK data protection law: you can access, download or delete your personal data at any time, and your details are only ever shared when you choose. You can read the specifics in our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
