Anyone got advie when it comes to hiriing pro cleaners. Who would be trustworthy around the surrey / london area.
What kind of prices are you talking for a flat clean including carpets roughly and what would be a rip off in past experiences.
I obviously plan to get on the phone and get quotes myself but id like a rough idea of the type of questions to be asking so I dont get shafted and get the best quote i can,
thanks

Ask for references and go and phone/see satisfied customers would be my best guess...Feb 2012 - onwards MF achieved

you really dont need the word 'Scams' in your title.
Would you use the same word if you were looking for a solicitor, dentist, private health.
They are all professional people.
I would work on about £12/£15 per hour for a professional company to do it.make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -
How many bedrooms and bathrooms has it got. does it include aplliance cleans?0

For a basic 2 bed, 1 bath flat with carpets and oven clean. You'd be lucky to get a quote under £200.0

£200 Brilliant
My landlord was telling me it would be at least £400 ( thus the word scams in the title!)
1 Bedroom, 1 bathroom, 1 kitchen and 1 living room
needs carpet clean and oven clean0 -
I just paid £225 + VAT for a two-bed two-bath maisonette in central London. http://www.aussiecleanteam.co.uk/ were the contractors.0

Why is your landlord charging you? Have you left it a tip?
Why not either get your marigolds on and clean up after yourself, or check out the local newsagents window and find a local cleaner who'll come in for... £8 per hour?0 -

Would love too and have done in the past but it is written into the contract as it was pro cleaned before i came in that it should be pro cleaned on checkout with receipt as proof.0 -
