Regular cleans

Weekly, fortnightly or every four weeks. The same two people every time, who learn that the stair rods need doing and the cat’s bowl doesn’t get moved. Beds changed, bathrooms descaled, floors done on hands and knees in the corners.

£22.50 per hour of cleaning (£21.50 weekly) · 3-bed fortnightly typically £79

End-of-tenancy cleans

Checked against the inventory clerk’s list that most St Albans agents use: skirting tops, inside every cupboard, limescale behind the taps, extractor filters, window tracks. If the check-out flags anything we’ve cleaned, we go back and redo it free within 72 hours.

2-bed flat £290 · 3-bed house £365, oven included

Oven cleans

Racks, trays and door glass come out and go into a heated dip tank in the van while we hand-clean the inside. No caustic fumes left in your kitchen; you can cook on it the same evening. About two hours for a single oven.

Single £75 · double £99 · range £135

Who turns up

Jo, Sam and twelve people we’d trust with our own keys.

Jo Hartley started cleaning houses on Fishpool Street in 2011 with a Henry hoover and a Corsa. Her son Sam joined after university and now runs the end-of-tenancy side. Everyone on the team is employed, not agency, with holiday pay and paid travel time between houses. All are DBS-checked and trained by Jo for a month before they go out alone.

You’ll recognise us: bottle-green uniforms and the two green signwritten vans you’ve probably seen parked on Hatfield Road.

What we clean with

Steam, microfibre and plant-based refills.

Most of the work is done with dry steam and colour-coded cloths that go home to be washed at 60° after every house. Sprays are plant-based, fragrance-free on request, and refilled from 5-litre drums at our base on Ashley Road, so we throw away about 400 fewer plastic bottles a year.

Cloths
Colour-coded: green for kitchens, red never leaves the bathroom.
Bleach
Only if you ask for it. Limescale comes off with steam and citric.
Pets & babies
Everything we use is safe once dry. Tell us and we’ll go fragrance-free.
