Step 1 of 7

What needs cleaning?

Pick the job: the clean, the price and the time follow from it.

How the estimate is worked out

The ranges are what Irish cleaning companies charge for the same clean: the lowest to the highest figure for a home of that size, or per m² for a commercial unit. A smaller home's three-stage clean is its builders clean plus a sparkle clean. Use it to plan with: the company fixes the price after seeing the job or photos of it.
