Finding a trustworthy cleaner in the UK has never been easier — or more transparent. CQD New Gen connects you directly with ID-verified, background-checked cleaning professionals across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. No agency fees. No commission. Just a direct match between you and the right cleaner.
What does "verified" actually mean?
On CQD New Gen, every cleaner's trust level is displayed clearly on their profile through a badge system:
- Email Verified (Bronze) — email address confirmed; basic account validation
- ID Confirmed (Silver) — government-issued photo ID verified by our AI identity check
- DBS Submitted (Gold) — DBS certificate uploaded and displayed; the highest trust level for domestic work
- Training Recognised — relevant cleaning qualifications or certifications uploaded
For domestic cleaning in a home with children, elderly relatives, or high-value items, always filter for Gold badge (DBS Submitted) cleaners. It takes 30 seconds and gives you significant peace of mind.
How much does a cleaner cost in the UK in 2026?
- London: £14–£22/hour for domestic cleaning
- Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds: £12–£18/hour
- Edinburgh, Glasgow: £12–£17/hour
- Rural areas: £11–£15/hour

Because CQD charges zero commission, you pay the cleaner's stated rate directly — not an inflated agency rate. A cleaner charging £16/hour costs you exactly £16/hour.

What if I need a cleaner urgently in the UK?
Post your job and check the "Available Today" filter. Cleaners who have set their availability to today appear at the top of your match list. Most urgent jobs in major UK cities are filled within 2–4 hours of posting.
Is it safe to let a cleaner into my home?
CQD New Gen's verification system is designed specifically to answer this question. Every Gold badge cleaner has submitted a DBS certificate — the same background check used by schools, hospitals, and care homes. You can view the certificate details before confirming any booking.
Never pay a cleaner in cash before the job is done. CQD's escrow payment system holds your payment securely and releases it to the cleaner only after you confirm the job is complete to your satisfaction.
How CQD compares to traditional UK cleaning agencies
