How We Calculate This
This calculator multiplies the number of each room type by an average area and a base cleaning rate per square metre, then applies a depth multiplier.
Average room sizes (UK typical)
- Bedroom: 14 m² at 1.5 min/m²
- Bathroom: 6 m² at 3.0 min/m²
- Reception room: 18 m² at 1.8 min/m²
- Kitchen: 12 m² at 2.5 min/m²
- Hallway/landing: 8 m² at 1.2 min/m²
Depth multipliers
Quick tidy: 0.5x | Standard: 1.0x | Deep clean: 1.6x
Formula: Sum of (rooms × average area × base rate) × depth multiplier
