Whilst we never formally let our house, friends would borrow it, we always asked for a report on how the place looked and they never met the Gardener, and there were always waist high weeds. As the garden grew and we added a pool we tried other companies. A monthly house clean resulted in a swift dust around a few days before the house was occupied, the alarm system keeps a log of entry and exit times and dates.

The system at the time allowed for 6 differing numbers, so the maid service had a unique number. One visit in 6 months lasting 30 minutes, no wonder the place smelled when the drains had dried out allowing the smell into the fabric. A family member having taken some overdue leave and flying out found the pool black with slime, the dis-colouration now almost impossible to remove from the grouting.

Having spoken to friends and neighbours we discovered our experiences were far from unique. So we have decided to offer a service people could rely on. Our system of regular reports will give you peace of mind that your property is in safe hands. We also have no objections to a log being maintained of our visits.
