Meta description: Professional chandelier cleaning in London: on-site hand cleaning for crystal, Murano and antique chandeliers in homes, hotels and historic properties.
London’s finest interiors feature chandeliers that deserve more than routine dusting. From crystal fittings in Mayfair drawing rooms to Murano glass in hotel lobbies and antique pieces in historic townhouses, each fixture needs care suited to its materials, condition and setting.
Chandelier cleaning in London is best entrusted to specialists who understand how a fixture is assembled, how it hangs and how to clean it without compromising the chandelier or the room. Our team works on site, by hand, with careful preparation and professional attention to detail.

How on-site hand cleaning works
Where practical, cleaning is completed on site with the chandelier in place. This avoids unnecessary dismantling and transport, while allowing the specialist to protect the room and attend to the fixture component by component.
Our team cleans crystal, glass, Murano glass, antique and modern chandeliers, including bespoke designs. Each material is handled according to its characteristics. Cut crystal is cleaned to restore clarity and light refraction, while hand-blown glass is treated with particular care for its shape, colour and delicate surface. Antique metalwork is buffed gently, with consideration for its finish and patina.
Bulbs can be replaced as part of the visit, and the fitting is inspected before work is complete. If the team identifies loose crystals, worn fittings or another issue requiring attention, it is clearly reported so the next step can be considered.
What happens during a typical visit
A typical visit begins with an assessment of the chandelier, its condition and the safest access. The room and furnishings are protected before the cleaning begins.
The fixture is then cleaned by hand, piece by piece. Where agreed, bulbs are replaced, followed by a final inspection and a clear summary of the chandelier’s condition.
Why luxury residences, hotels and historic properties need a specialist
Many of London’s most striking chandeliers are high, delicate and valuable. Specialist handling helps protect the fixture and its surroundings, while restoring the clarity and brilliance that define its place in the room.
Height and access
High ceilings, staircases and atriums call for proper access planning and suitable equipment. Our team works carefully in occupied homes and operating venues, selecting access solutions to suit the property and the scale of the fitting.
Where tower access is needed, PASMA-qualified specialists can assemble scaffold towers. Safe, steady access allows each part of the chandelier to be reached with care and helps minimise disruption to the space.
Delicate and valuable fixtures
A chandelier in a listed property or luxury hotel may be irreplaceable. Appropriate methods and careful handling help preserve its materials and character while improving its appearance. With 25 years working in the industry, our team brings experienced hands to pieces that call for patience and specialist attention.
Our approach reflects a standard of care trusted in Britain’s finest interiors. Each fixture is assessed on its own merits, with its condition and finish considered before cleaning begins.
Discretion and minimal disruption
In private residences and working hotels, the service needs to fit around the people and activity in the space. We work with care, clear communication and respect for the property, protecting furnishings and leaving the area tidy when the work is complete.
Chandelier cleaning for different property types
Private residences and luxury apartments
London homes hold chandeliers of many kinds: family antiques, contemporary centrepieces and bespoke fittings made for a particular room. Our specialists work discreetly, protect floors and furnishings, and tailor the cleaning method to the chandelier’s materials and condition.
Bulb replacement can be included as part of the clean, helping restore both the appearance of the fixture and the quality of light in the room.
Hotels, restaurants and event venues
In hospitality settings, chandeliers are seen by guests throughout the day and may sit above busy lobbies, dining rooms or staircases. We plan the work around the property’s operation, including quieter periods where appropriate, and can care for a single statement fitting or multiple chandeliers across a venue.
For properties requiring planned care, we offer cleaning visits every 3 or 6 months on a 12-month minimum term. A tailored schedule helps keep fixtures consistently presentable while making access and work easier to plan.
Arcades, shopping centres and commercial interiors
Large chandeliers above trading floors and walkways need careful access planning, appropriate protection and coordination with property teams. Our specialists consider the scale of the fitting and the setting before work starts.
Historic arcades and commercial interiors benefit from a measured approach that respects both the chandelier and the building around it.
Listed and historic properties
Period and listed buildings often contain original finishes and fittings that need thoughtful handling. Before cleaning, our team assesses the chandelier and chooses methods suited to its glass, metalwork and condition.
The fixture is inspected after the work, and any concern is reported clearly. Early attention to a loose or vulnerable component can help preserve the chandelier and support its long-term care.

We work across London, serving private homes, luxury apartments, hotels, restaurants, theatres, arcades, shopping centres and event venues. Our local coverage includes Mayfair, Kensington, Chelsea and Belgravia.

Frequently asked questions
Do you clean chandeliers in occupied homes and working hotels?
Yes. Most work takes place in lived-in homes and operating spaces. We schedule appropriately, protect the room and complete the clean with minimal disruption.
Can you clean Murano glass and bespoke chandeliers?
Yes. Murano glass, hand-blown glass and bespoke contemporary pieces are handled by hand using methods suited to their surfaces and forms.
Will the chandelier need to be taken down for cleaning?
In most cases, no. Cleaning is carried out on site with the fixture in place. Removal may be considered if access makes in-situ work impractical, or if the chandelier is being moved, renovated or stored.
Do you offer regular maintenance for commercial venues?
Yes. Hotels, arcades, shopping centres and event venues can arrange planned cleaning visits every 3 or 6 months on a 12-month minimum term. We can recommend a suitable schedule after assessing the property and its chandeliers.
How quickly can you attend a property in London?
Timing depends on the season, access and scale of the work. Send a few details and photographs of the chandelier, and our team will advise on the next step, including whether a site assessment is appropriate.
