Julia was really helpful. She talked me through some of the tips and tools to help maintain the home in between cleans. We have also recently had builders in so she helped us get rid of some of the build up.

“Sahara came at short notice and in the evening. Thank you She worked hard. The good thing about Sahara is that she understands and remembers the list of things I give her to do and how I wish the tasks to be carried out. Well done. Addionally, this time I found out she can reach a lot of things and didn't need to use the steps I'd got out. Fantastic. I feel much better about not having to use steps ! I hope Sahara gets some rest over the weekend and look forward to seeing her next week. Thank you.”

Local information about Watford

Watford is a town, northwest of London, in the neighbouring county of Hertfordshire. Situated within the M25, the town is well within the London commuter belt and is a great place for families and professionals to settle on the outskirts of the city.

Early twentieth-century and inter-war development in the town was begun to thwart the problem of overpopulation in the town. Many of these homes still pop up on the local property ladder, although these are now joined by post-war and even new-build houses, often semi-detached. These family-sized homes are popular with workers from London, due to their reasonable asking prices. The town centre, as well as residential streets, also contain examples of recent mock Tudor, beamed architecture.

Watford Junction provides a route into London from the town and, catching the right train, the journey takes little more than a quarter hour. Watford High Street also provides locals with London Overground service.

Housekeep now operates in WD postcodes, with highly rated, 5-star domestic cleaners available for easy booking. All cleaners on our platform are interviewed in person and background-checked upon joining.
