You do. You pay her the applicable rate when she does the work. If she comes to you for one day a week, you pay her on that day.

• 9- Can I have a cleaner once a month?

Yes you can. However because of the length of time between each clean, we treat a monthly clean as a "one off" clean and so the minimum cleaning time is 4 hours at the applicable rate.

We will let you know and offer to provide a replacement cleaner if you wish or will refund the rate payable to the agency if you don’t need a replacement.

We will talk to your cleaner on your behalf or if you prefer we will supply another cleaner. However, please be patient and supply us with as much feedback as possible.

Should you require a week or two without cleaning please call or e-mail our office at least 2 days in advance to cancel your cleaning session and you will not be charged the cleaner's fees. That way should your cleaner wish to work some extra hours elsewhere while you are away we can arrange this.

• 13- Many companies act as introduction agencies only. Do you operate on the same basis?

No, after we have introduced a cleaner to you we continue to maintain the cleaning service, and provide insurance. We make sure the quality level does not fall and carefully monitor the feedback we receive so we can provide you with the first class service you want.
