Our minimum hours are 2.5 weeekly or 4 fortnightly, and half hourly increments thereafter. However depending on the size of your home we can be flexible if needed.

The hourly rate depends on your postcode, the range is between £ 12.60 £ 13.60. The rate is then divided into two payments, one direct to the housekeeper after each visit and then a monthly management fee payable to the company.

Our company representatives will discuss your requirements with you whilst at your home, from that and their personal experience, they will be able to provide guidance as to how long the clean should take.

It’s completely up to you. The majority of our customers like to have their homes cleaned when they are out at work or busy otherwise and provide their housekeeper with a key. However, the pre-start meeting with the housekeeper, will be organised before the cleaning to ensure that you feel comfortable with our specially vetted and insured housekeeper selected for your home.

Cleaning supplies aren’t included, each client is to provide their housekeeper with the materials they wish them to use for cleaning. This ensures your cleaner uses the products you prefer. In addition, the majority of our housekeepers use public transport so it would be really tricky for them to carrry around cleaning materials and equipment.

Regular cleans are cost effective, provides pieace of mind and always a clean and organised home.

Cleans that take place at irregular intervals or a spring/deep cleans involve much more work and as such are priced at a higher cost than a regular clean.

“Inform your housekeeper of when you are away, they may suggest that some areas of the home have not been deep cleaned for a long time such as kitchen cupbaords, top of furniture etc which could be done whilst you are away. If you prefer a housekeeper not to clean for you then let her know, she will contact the office for any cover work she may want not to loose the income.
It is ideal to provide them with a week’s or more notice, but no less than two working days notice. “

Simply visit the quote page or request a callback – we will be happy to talk through what you would like done, how much cleaning time this will likely to take and the cost involved.

Your service is calculated on an hourly basis, which is divided between the housekeeper and company. Your housekeeper will be paid at the end of every cleaning session either by bank transfer or cash. The managment fee will be paid by Standing Order on a monthly basis in advance once you are happy with the service. (Standing order is not the same as Direct Debit. Standing orders are a set amount that leave your bank account at regular intervals and are controlled by the bank account holder and not the company.)

Some people equate value for money with the cheapest quotation they find. A true measure is:-

• The time and energy you have saved.
• The ability and freedom to do more enjoyable things.
• When the standard of service is high and has exceeded your expectations.
• When the price is comparable with three other similar companies.
• When the entire experience is good and the after care good.

There are no bank charges or costs involved in running this type of payment as it’s a set amount automatically coming out of your account. Should we run a direct debit system it would increase our costs in personnel to adminster the transactions and a bank charge of 40p per transaction. These additional costs would have to be passed back to the client, increasing our fees.
