UPDATE: Clean needed ANY DAY THIS WEEK!


Recommended Posts

I need a fabulous cleaner for Tues 16th July in the ED/ Peckham area.


3 bedroom flat. Currently has very little furniture and very few belongings so should make the clean easier. The floors are tiled. Would be also good to clean the fridge/ freezer (empty) and potentially the oven. Kitchen and bathroom cupboards (all empty) need a clean too.


Basically a good scrub in preparation for moving in.


I estimate 4/5 hours.


If the cleaner could bring products and cleaning equipment then all the better but otherwise I can provide basics.


Any recommendations or takers? A quote would be useful.

Thanks I?ll look into emop. I?ve been hoping to get a few quotes. I had the impression from EDF that there are zillions of cleaners looking for work but I?ve not had much interest and people haven?t responded to my replies to their messages

Thank-you to everyone that private messaged me about this job.


Unfortunately I got my fingers burned and money lost with a rather unpleasant interaction with a cleaner who responded. Thank-you also to those who sent helpful messages in response to this.


So I don't want to let it put me off all EDF cleaners.


I will still be looking for someone to do a one off clean- next week I'd say.


I will respond to peoples private messages and posts.

As an update, I'm pleased to say the clean got done! I decided to go with emop (thanks for the recommendation Smiley)as, following the upsetting incident/ issue with the other cleaner I originally contacted (a different thread), I decided to go with an actual company rather than an individual.


I wouldn't want to be suspicious of individuals offering their services on EDF, and will continue to use the forum for this purpose in the future.


I have learnt some lessons based on what happened and subsequent issues in my other thread. Always do a good search on EDF for comments etc before booking someone for a job (that's partly why a forum is helpful!). And of course always be cautious about paying money up front. Plus perhaps the biggest thing, be very cautious about giving personal details to someone from the forum. These are probably pretty obvious guidelines to follow but I got burnt and learnt.


Emop were great and very reasonable :-)

    • This lot specialise in rescuing wild birds in London. They're brilliant! There's an emergency phone number to ring. https://www.londonwildlifeprotection.org/  Helen
    • Posh mummies and daddies with all the gear (gold helmets, trendy jackets, paniers fore and aft) love to brandish the kiddywinks they carry as a kind of carte blanche to cycle on footpaths, even when they’re right next to a cycle lane and/or a LTN. Resist! (Lycra-clad “professionals”, though, are often courteous and law-abiding, stopping at zebras and knowing their place is on the road and not the pavement.)  
    • This is clearly far from a unique issue. Somebody posted this on Facebook and it is so similar to posts here I asked him if he was with Tessa Jowell - he said "no, Lewisham".  "This morning on the microsecond of 8am I tried to get through to my GP on the phone...it went straight through to Hold. Tried again. Same thing. Tried a third time...Same thing. OK, I thought, I will hold. 32 minutes later, I gave up. The voice said "Did you know you can now book appointments online?" NO YOU CAN'T...I have the Patient Access App & for the past 2 years it has said "This practice is unable to book appointments online." Anyhooooo...on way back from shops I popped into the actual surgery to see if I could book an appointment in advance...that was my second mistake...Receptionist said "No. You will have to ring up on a Monday morning to see if we have any for that week" "Oh, and what time should I ring?" "It's best to ring at 8am" "But i just spent 32 minutes this morning on hold and couldn't even get through" "Yeah, sorry about that, we are short-staffed at the moment...but did you kn ow you can now book appointments in advance online?" "No, you can't" "Well, there are sometimes some appointments available online" "Nope, no there aren't...looked every day for 2 years and not a scintilla of an appointment..." "Well, you could always ring up at 8am" "You do know the whole system is completely falling to pieces?" Receptionist gives rueful look. In case I lost it and set fire to the whole fecking GP Practice there and then, I left. I will try again tomorrow morning at 8am. And see if Dr Godot will see me...We are well and truly f****d, peoples."
