FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

HOW IT WORKS

Can my housekeeper clean while I'm out?

All our cleaners go through a checking process, so you can trust them to clean your home whilst you are out. If you book a regular cleaner visit, we aim to have the same cleaner visit you every week and a spare key can be provided.

What about cleaning materials?

We provide cleaning materials for end of tenancy and deep cleans. As our regular cleaners travel by public transport they are unable to provide cleaning materials or tools, such as a hoover, mop and bucket. 

How many hours do I need?

Hours can vary depending on the number of bedrooms, bathrooms and other rooms in the property, get in contact and we can discuss your needs.

What if I don't like the cleaner?

We can provide a free replacement to ensure you are happy with the service. 

What does your insurance cover?

Damage to your property caused by the cleaner, theft by the cleaner, key and lock replacement and personal injury to the cleaner.

Can I have a trial?

You can use the 1st clean as a trial and you can cancel the service if you are not happy with something.

Can I have a cleaner at weekends?

Yes. Some cleaners are prepared to work at weekends, so that’s not a problem.

What if my cleaner is running late?

Our cleaners do our best to arrive at your agreed time. There are situations when traffic is delayed, and cleaner may arrive late. Cleaners are instructed to contact you if they are stuck in traffic. Please feel free to telephone the office if you need to go and we will try to find out how far the cleaner is from your place. 

Which areas do you cover?

We cover all London postcodes (E, W, N, NW, S, SE, SW, IG, CR, HA, TW), and various other London areas. 

How do I become a Housekeeper?

We’re always looking for new housekeepers, so if you’re experienced in home cleaning and you’re looking for flexible home cleaning work that's close to home, please contact us.

  • Ironing
  • Laundry
  • Indoor Window Cleaning
  • Oven Cleaning
  • Fridge Cleaning
Other services can be provided but please do let us know and we will try to cater to your needs.
