Local context that should shape what you quote as a cleaner in Newcastle.

Yes if you have the staffing. St James' Park and Newcastle United hospitality venues drive 19+ matchday cleans per Premier League season plus cup competitions. Quote per-matchday (£2,500-£12,000+ depending on venue size and scope) including pre-match prep, half-time refresh, and post-match deep clean. Niche; build relationships with venue managers.
£8-£18/sqm for two-pass post-build clean depending on construction debris level. Window-track grit removal, surface wipe, paint splatter removal. Add 25-40% for marble, polished concrete, or specialist finishes. Quayside and Ouseburn regeneration drives recurring revenue; build relationships with 5-10 main contractors.
Hourly rates are £15 to £33 in the US, £15-35 in the UK, A£18-60 in Australia, R80-250 in South Africa, and C£15-55 in Canada. Most experienced cleaners prefer fixed-price by home size because hourly invites time-padding disputes.
By the job for standard, deep, or end-of-tenancy cleans where the scope is known. By the hour only for ad-hoc tidying where the customer wants to direct work in real-time. Fixed-price protects both sides.
Most cleaners bring their own basic supplies (vacuum, mop, microfibre, eco-friendly products). Some hourly bookings use customer supplies. Always confirm on the quote so there is no on-arrival argument.
Two or three for regular weekly bookings. Pricing is fairly consistent in any one area. The bigger variables are insurance, vetting, and whether the same cleaner attends every visit (better) or a rotating team (cheaper but variable).
Yes. Public liability insurance covers breakages and damage; workers comp covers injury on your property. Hire only insured cleaners; the cost of an uninsured cleaner damaging a hardwood floor or a flat-screen TV wipes out years of savings.
