Louis arrived on time, he was friendly and polite. He did a thorough job wiping all surfaces, moving the rugs, cleaning the floors and so on. I am very happy with the service level.

Sarolta worked well for me. It is not possible to clean everything in the flat in 3 hours so she will start with what was left out next time. I think that she is very willing and pleasant. Judith

I'm very, very happy with the work of Lovepreet. She's reliable, precise and she shined for her honesty, as she finished in advance and charged for the right amount of time (also quicker and more thorough than many others I've hired before). 100% satisfied!

Local information about Oval

Famous as the home of Surrey’s cricket ground, The Oval, the Lambeth neighbourhood of Oval is situated within the wider area known as Kennington.

Grand period properties dominate the Kennington area with family-sized terraced houses featuring prominently on the local property market. New-build apartments are also now available, and older purpose-built flats are scattered throughout the area.

Transport links are great in the area, with Oval underground station receiving service from the Northern Line. The station is within London’s travelcard zone 2, making Oval a great home for those working in Central London.

The Housekeep platform services all of Oval - the SW8, SW9 and SE11 postcodes - with 5-star domestic cleaners available for weekly, fortnightly or one-off cleans. These Housekeepers are all interviewed by our fabulous recruitment team in person, to ensure a professional experience.
