What we can do for you
Our home cleaning services.
Every home is different, so our domestic cleaning service is built around your space, your routine and your budget.
01
Regular Home Cleaning
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly visits from a cleaner who gets to know your home. We'll wipe down kitchen worktops and appliances, freshen up the bathroom, dust surfaces, hoover and mop floors, and leave everything fresh and tidy.
02
Deep Cleaning
Think of this as our premium service. It's a top-to-bottom job with extra attention to detail, reaching the places an everyday routine can't always get to, such as inside the oven, behind appliances, along skirting boards and around limescale on taps and showers. It's ideal as a starting point before regular visits begin, as a seasonal refresh, or before guests arrive.
03
End of Tenancy Cleaning
Moving out? Our end of tenancy cleans help tenants get their home ready for inspection and give landlords and letting agents an immaculate property for the next occupant. We cover the inside of cupboards, ovens and fridges as well as the rooms you can see.
04

If you need something a little different, just ask. Tell us about the task and we'll put together a cleaning service that suits you, whether that's getting ready for a family event or help with a spare room that's got out of hand.

FAQs
Most households go for a weekly or fortnightly clean. Busy families often find more frequent appointments work best, while smaller homes can manage with less. We're flexible, so you can change how often we come at any time.
A regular clean keeps on top of everyday mess in the kitchen, living areas and bedrooms. A deep clean goes much further, tackling built-up grease, limescale and grime in the spots that get missed day to day. If your home hasn't had a thorough going-over in a while, we'd suggest starting with a deep clean, then booking regular visits to keep it that way.
Yes. We're open 8:30 am–6 pm every day, including weekends, so we can usually find a slot that fits around work, school and family life.
We do. We carry out move-out cleans between lets and can work to your inventory so the property is ready for the next tenant as quickly as possible.
Not really. It helps if you clear clutter off floors and worktops, as that lets us ensure the time is spent cleaning rather than tidying, but it's not essential. Just let us know about any areas you'd like us to focus on.
