Domestic Cleaners - Cambridge

I know this is an odd question to ask on a website dedicated to money saving, but does anyone have any recommendations for domestic cleaners in Cambridge, and roughly what I should expect to pay hourly?

Also, do rates change if you sign up for a longer term / more frequency contract?

Thanks in advance.

    Contracts? Why don't you just get a retired person or a Mum that wants a few hours work each week to fit around the kids. Prob £7 / hour that way or go for an overly priced cleaninf company and pay twice that.
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.

    Perhaps contract was the wrong word, I was looking for commitment.

    And more importantly, will ask again, does anyone have any recommendations?

    as k around neighbours or friends etc for reccomendations , my wife charges £10 per hour which is probably the going rate for this area , by the time you've taken expenses out of £7 it's not worth the trouble

    Why dont you advertise in shop window or at one of the supermarkets? If you pay is low you might not attract a decent cleaner. In the add make it so its for a trial subject to quality of work obviously have to pay them during trial say minimum wage and after a week or two if quality of work is good pay a little more say £8-£10
