I've never booked a housekeeping service and have always taken pride in keeping my home nice and clean With shift work, children and the holidays around the corner, staying on top of tidying has been an awful challenge. I found this website and thought "why not, let me give this a go". I was partnered up with Emmanuel. Emmanuel arrived at my home at 3pm and got straight to work, he did an amazing job cleaning the kitchen sink, the cooker and mopping the floors. I was particulary impressed with both the bathrooms! It was so shiny!! I was really happy with his work. He has a trusting and sweet aura about himself which put me at ease to let him get on with it. He was booked for 3 hours, which gave him enough time to complete this kitchen, living room, bathroom, toilet and 2 corridors. I am so happy with the results - I've been on the phone recomending this young man already!

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible dedication and hard work of the two cleaners from Housekeep who tackled the deep clean at my father’s home. They were absolutely amazing! The space was not easy to clean – it required immense effort, attention to detail, and persistence – but they approached the task with professionalism and unwavering commitment. They worked tirelessly for many hours. Their level of care and thoroughness was extraordinary, and it was evident that they genuinely took pride in their work. I am so deeply grateful for their efforts. They went above and beyond, exceeding all expectations. I would wholeheartedly recommend Housekeep and these fantastic cleaners to anyone in need of a thorough and professional service.
