Hire a Verified Cleaner in the UK — No Agency Fees, No Commission

Find a background-checked, ID-verified cleaner anywhere in the UK. Post your job free, review matched profiles, and pay zero commission — ever.

6 min read16 June 2026

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
  • End-of-tenancy clean: £150–£400 depending on property size
  • Airbnb turnaround: £15–£25/hour or flat rate per property
  • Deep clean (one-off): £150–£350 for a 3-bed house

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 types of cleaning can I book in the UK?

  • Regular domestic cleaning — weekly or fortnightly visits

  • End-of-tenancy cleaning — required by most landlords before deposit return
  • Airbnb and short-let turnaround cleaning — same-day and next-day available
  • Commercial office cleaning — daily, weekly, or monthly contracts
  • Post-construction cleaning — builders' clean after renovation or new build
  • Carpet and upholstery cleaning — specialist service available in most areas
  • Window cleaning — internal and external

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

  • Agency: 20–30% commission on every booking. CQD: zero commission, ever.
  • Agency: Limited to their roster of cleaners. CQD: hundreds of verified cleaners across the UK.
  • Agency: You deal with the agency, not the cleaner. CQD: direct contact with your cleaner.
  • Agency: Opaque pricing. CQD: full transparency — you see the cleaner's rate before you book.
  • Agency: No background check visibility. CQD: DBS badge displayed on every Gold profile.
