Raluca did an amazing job as our cover cleaner today. Usually we struggle with covers as they seem to be slow or less thorough than our usual Cleaner. But wow we were impressed with how thorough Raluca was. A fantastic clean and wonderful tidying. Thank you so much! We'd be very happy to have her clean for us again. Thank you!

Considering how messy the house was - due to my having been struck down with a serious health issue & left bedridden for 2.5 months, and still spending most of my time in my bedroom due to not being able to use the stairs, unable to do any housework - she has done a good job. Also, originally I requested the provision of cleaning materials at a cost of £6, however, it kept being moved back, a number of times - the first cleaner came but did not stay declaring she could not be in a house with a cat! It was rebooked over the phone (customer services called me after she 'rsn' out). Somewhere between the original booking and this - the last - my request for cleaning products at a cost of £6 got 'dropped' along the way. Therefore when your girl came today, we were not expecting to have to provide cleaning goods .. we did supply her with bits n pieces of this n that but were caught totally short and she therefore did a good job with the materials provided. I have to say, I was not impressed with the service, I cannot call or email snyone to cancel - therefore why I kept putting it back / several times / weeks at a time. It would have been easier to cancel then rebook once we were better prepared / I have had several hospital visits snd we were in no position to book a cleaning date. I am currently waiting for results of my PIP application, so I cannot for a bi- weekly clean - and monthly ad-hoc jobs (such as inside of windows, the cooker, and stripping befs & washing the bed linen). So, the girl gets my thumbs up but not the service .. a number to call & actually talk to a real live person would make all the difference to my opinion

Local information about New Cross

New Cross, in south east London, is a thriving and well-connected part of Lewisham.

The area is notably the home of Goldsmiths, University of London, an institution famous for its contribution to the arts. Damien Hirst, Damon Albarn and Vivienne Westwood are all household names that have graduated from the college.

There’s plenty of entertainment for locals in New Cross, with pubs such as the New Cross Inn and the Amersham Arms both hosting live music regularly. New Cross is in close proximity to Deptford and Peckham where an array of other daytime and evening entertainment can be found.

Along the main road, it’s mostly flats on the housing market, often above retail space. There are also plenty of Victorian terraced houses across New Cross, many of which are divided into flats to suit the student demographic. Developers have also moved into the area in recent years, so new-builds feature prominently on the market now too.

New Cross and New Cross Gate both offer easy access in and out of the area via the London overground service. These trains come every few minutes and New Cross Gate is even serviced overnight at the weekends.

The Housekeep platform takes many bookings across the SE14 postcode. All cleaners on the platform are background-checked and have at least 6 months domestic cleaning experience, to ensure a 5-star experience!
