Cleaning and housekeeping for second homes

What we can do for you can include but is not limited to:

Pre-arrival preparation

We can open up your property, turn on the heating, light wood burning stoves, turn on outside lights and buy groceries.

Security visits

We can check your property is secure and check for burst pipes, leaks or electrical tripping. We have a reporting structure to ensure that should the unimaginable happen we can comply with insurance companies expectations.

Key holding and 24 hour call out

By holding keys we can access your property for cleaning and maintenance. In an emergency you can have peace of mind that there is someone local to deal with problems.

Post forwarding

We can collect and forward post either by traditional methods or take photos of your mail and forward to you that day for action. High value items or large items can be delivered to us or we can provide a ‘sit and wait’ service for very large deliveries at your home.

Cleaning

For second homes, we recommend at least 4 hours cleaning per month, depending upon the size and usage of the property. Our experience with our existing clients has shown that 2 hours every two weeks works best as a minimum.

If you use your property more during the summer months or during school holidays cleans can be increased so that you can enjoy your stay and not have to worry about the day to day upkeep of your home.

Spring cleans and specialist cleans, such as carpet cleaning and floor polishing can also be arranged but we also provide a window cleaning and property maintenance service in house. (PROPERY MAINTAINANCE SERVICES)

Grocery Shopping

We can arrange for your grocery shopping to be done so that all of your time spent at your second home is used doing what you want to do, alternatively we can meet the delivery and unpack it for you before you arrive.

Laundry and Ironing

We know how nice it is to come back to your house with clean and aired linen on the beds our sister company Wye Bother Linen Ltd can wash and iron bed linen and towels and other household items to ensure that when you return everything is clean and fresh and ready to go.

Gardening

We can arrange for your garden to be maintained in your absence including grass and hedge cutting. Should you need further assistance with quotations, design or landscaping the garden we can arrange for local specialists to meet with you or we can act on your behalf after consultation with you.

This is not an exclusive list.

If you have a something that needs doing, we can probably do it for you, so please ask and for your peace of mind we have insurance cover up to £1 million

Domestic home and commercial cleaning:

We provide cleaning services to many local residents and also commercial properties.

Residential

We have always provided cleaning services for domestic clients in the local area and some of our clients have been with us from the very beginning. The majority of our clients are professional people who need that extra help in ensuring their home runs smoothly. We can come in once a week, or every other week, depending upon your need, to clean your home and change the beds so that one more job is ticked off of your list.

We can tailor the clean to your needs and come when you are at work and the children are at school so that on your return its one less thing to worry about. We can even take your bed linen and towels away with us and return them to you, when next we come, so you don’t have to worry about the bigger bulky items and how you will dry them, particularly during the winter months.

In light of COVID, we are still able to work within your homes but we ask the social distancing measure are taken if you are planning on being in during the clean, we will also ensure that we wear PPE to keep you and are staff team safe.
