A visit to see the job and give you a price is £30. Whenever you go ahead with the work, it comes straight off the cost, and if it turns out not to be a job for us, you don’t pay it. A half-day starts at £140, a full day at £260, materials on top at cost. You will know the price before we lift a tool. Specialist work, such as rendering or tree surgery, is quoted job by job once we have seen it.

From a wonky fence to a fresh coat of paint, one team does the lot: painting, plastering, plumbing, floors, fences, carpet cleaning, end of tenancy cleans, and the odd jobs that never quite get done. Specialist work, such as rendering or tree surgery, goes to someone we know by name and have used before.

Yes. Our end of tenancy clean covers the whole property, carpets included, plus the small repairs and touch-ups agents check for, with a free re-clean if anything is flagged within 48 hours. A studio starts from £180. Carpet cleaning on its own starts from £45 a room.

We take on a few more homes each season, postcode by postcode, so we can keep doing right by the ones already on the list. Give us your postcode and we will tell you plainly whether there is room near you. We work across north, northwest, west, southwest, south, and central London.

Yes. A small permanent team does the day-to-day work, so it is the same faces each visit. People who know where the stopcock is, and which floorboard creaks.

The visit itself is £30 – we come and take a proper look, note what needs doing, and get to know the house. Then you get a plain price, half-day or full-day, with no surprises, and the £30 counts toward it whenever you go ahead. Dust sheets down, shoes off, radio low, and everything left tidy.
