We believe this window gives you enough time to assess the quality of our work and make an informed decision.

We will only return to a property if the condition of it is as we left it.
For example: we will not return if there has been renovation work done since, we will not be returning if the property has already moved into since our clean. If the condition is not as we left it, or the reclean has not been requested within 48 hrs of the initial clean, our minimum call-out fee of £50 will apply.
