Jack arrived 5 mins early for his time slot and did an awesome job! The bathroom was in a particualrly bad state with limescale and is now sparkling. He also managed to get some stubborn yellow stains out of a white chest of drawers that have been there since I got them, which was a small miracle because I've never been able to do it. He even stayed slightly longer than he needed to make sure the entire flat was spotless, he really went above and beyond. He was super friendly and wasn't disruptive at all while I was WFH. A great job and am looking forward to him being our regular cleaner!

Graciete is fantastic. We’ve had several cleaners before and were never completely satisfied, but this time we’re really happy with the results. She doesn’t need guidance, just gets on with the job efficiently and professionally, with great attention to detail. She’s the first cleaner we’ve had who actually completed everything within the allotted time, and the results are spot on. We’ll definitely book her again.

Local information about Islington

Islington is inner-London's most densely populated borough, with the 200,000 residents who call it home crammed into less than 6 square miles that extend from Crouch Hill in the north, to Farringdon in the South, Canonbury in the east and King's Cross in the west.

Islington incorporates the postcode areas N1, N4, N5, N6, N7, N8, N16, N19, EC1, EC2, NW5 and WC1 and is serviced by multiple tube and rail stations including Tufnell Park, Archway, Upper Holloway, Crouch Hill, Finsbury Park, Arsenal, Drayton Park, Holloway Road, Camden Road, Angel, Highbury & Islington, Canonbury, Caledonian Road & Barnsbury, Essex Road, Old Street and Farringdon.

Islington is known for its Victorian and Georgian townhouses set on communal garden squares. The housing stock also includes many flats in the form of converted terraces, warehouse conversions and modern new-build apartments.

Housekeep cleaned its first house in Islington in 2014, and there are now hundreds of experienced domestic cleaners available in the area, including in Clerkenwell, Pentonville and Mildmay.
