The complete London home services guide for 2026

Cleaning

Standard hourly rates across London: £15–£25/hr depending on zone and specialisation. A 2-bed flat usually takes 2–3 hours — budget £30–£55 — and a half-day deep clean runs £80–£120. Zones 1–2 typically run 10–15% higher than Zones 4–6.

What to check before booking:

  • Own equipment or needs yours?
  • Products included or bring your own?
  • Is ironing in scope?

Handyman / general repairs

Perfect for flat-pack assembly, picture hanging, minor repairs, and odd jobs.

Rates: £20–£35/hr

Most handyman jobs take 1–3 hours: a single flat-pack item is typically £30–£50 and TV mounting £50–£80. Be specific in your job description to get an accurate quote.

Dog walking & pet care

Per walk (30 minutes): £12–£15, or £18–£22 for the hour, depending on location and number of dogs.

Day boarding: £30–£50

Always ask to see previous client references or check their BOB O JOB reviews before booking.
