Become a professional cleaner
HostMate connects vetted, self-employed cleaners with hosts who expect hotel-grade handovers. You see pay before you accept, work when it suits you, upload photo proof, and get paid on a weekly cycle — typical jobs from £18–£150+ before add-ons and tips.
Vetted network
Quality bar and host expectations are clear from day one.
Hosts who care
Many jobs keep rental and family homes ticking over — repeats and referrals reward crews who nail the fundamentals.
You stay independent
Contractor model — you choose jobs, tools, and when you work.
Why cleaners join
What you get with HostMate
Less chasing clients, fewer awkward price chats — more time doing cleans you are proud of.
Pay you can plan around
Each job shows your cut before you tap accept — from quick regulars to deep end-of-tenancy cleans. Add-ons and tips sit on top of the base price.
Hours that fit your life
Mornings, evenings, weekends — you decide what to take. No forced rota: if a job does not suit you, skip it and wait for the next.
Work closer to home
See opportunities in and around your area so you are not driving halfway across a region for one turnaround.
Weekly, predictable payouts
Self-employed-friendly rhythm: complete work, submit proof, get paid on the weekly cycle — so you know when money lands.
Fit & mindset
Is HostMate for you?
We work best with cleaners who like structure, communicate clearly, and treat every checkout like their reputation is on the line — because it is.
Side income & gap-fillers
Stack HostMate work around another job, study, or family. Pick up shifts when you want extra — not when a rota says so.
Experienced cleaners
If you already deliver spotless handovers and know how to pace a job, you will feel at home with our checklists and quality bar.
Turnover & rental specialists
Love back-to-back guest-ready standards? Many jobs are built for people who understand tight windows and photo documentation.
Examples, not quotes
Realistic earnings snapshot
Final pay always follows the in-app breakdown for that exact job — these bands help you imagine the range.
Regular clean
£18–£32
Typical studio to small family home — standard checklist, recurring friendly.
Spring / deep style
£75+
Longer lists, more detail — priced to reflect time on site.
End of tenancy
£48–£115+
Larger properties and thorough end-of-tenancy standards — heavier lifts, bigger cheques.
Add-ons (oven, balcony, priority timing, etc.) increase the job total — you see those lines before accepting.

On assignment
What a typical job feels like
Hosts expect hotel-style readiness. We give you the rails — checklists, comms, and proof — so you can focus on the clean, not admin chaos.
Follow the checklist
Know exactly what "done" means for that service — less guesswork, fewer disputes.
Photo proof
Document rooms after the clean so hosts and the platform see the same finish.

Accept jobs, message context, and submit proof from your phone — no paper diary.
You bring the kit
Arrive with your own supplies and transport so you are ready to start on time.

Straight answers
Cleaner FAQ
Am I employed by HostMate?+
Cleaners work as self-employed contractors. You choose which jobs to accept and manage your own tax and insurance setup in line with UK rules.
How do I get paid?+
Payouts run on a weekly cycle once work is completed and proof is submitted — so you have a predictable rhythm instead of chasing invoices per job.
What if I cannot make a job I accepted?+
Life happens — but reliability matters. Only accept jobs you can commit to; repeated last-minute drops hurt hosts and your standing on the network.
Is there a minimum number of jobs?+
No quota to stay "active". Work as little or as much as your calendar allows, as long as you meet quality and punctuality expectations when you do accept.
