Anthony did a fantastic job. He was very thorough and paid great attention to detail throughout the clean. All surfaces were properly cleaned and dusted, and it was clear he took the time to move things around rather than just cleaning around them. The place felt genuinely refreshed afterward. Would definitely recommend him.

Federico

Stockwell (SW8)

I had three bad experiences before with another housekeeping company, so I was quite stressed about my first session with Housekeep. However, Kamal did an incredible job. Everything was done to a very high standard, and he was thorough, efficient, and professional throughout. I’m genuinely impressed and relieved after such a great experience. I would highly recommend Kamal

“Rachael has been cleaning for us weekly and she's genuinely been a lifesaver. She's incredibly kind, completely trustworthy in our home, and adores our kitten. What sets her apart is how independent and proactive she is: she notices what needs doing and just gets on with it, regularly going well beyond what we'd expect without ever needing to be asked. We can't recommend her highly enough!1 Thank you Rachael.”

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.
