So a little while ago I posted a thread asking how to motivate my cleaner... Guess what - after I very gently suggested she did things in a different way she went and quit on me - we had one of those 'it's not you it's me' conversations. I was dumped.


My cleaner tried to arrange for someone to take over but she never turned up on the day she was supposed to clean... So now I am asking around for a new cleaner but so far no luck. Cleaning the house with a baby around AND doing freelance work is impossible. I am thinking perhaps I have to go for one of the cleaning agencies.


Questions for those of you who have used an agency in the past. Any advantages to them? Do you have to commit to certain period? Pay upfront? What are the costs involved above what you would normally pay your cleaner?


Agencies and cleaners please don't respond to the thread with marketing info thanks!

    • How long is a piece of string?  Depends whether you are building 'new towns' or brown field urban sites. I expect developers, planners and builders know far more than we do.  Where are you getting your information about infrastructure from ?  Your comment on new reservoirs seems more relevant to population expansion and/or climate change.
    • There was a previous thread about them about 6 months ago. Since then, they have been found guilty and fined for illegal street trading and collections in June in the City of London. https://news.cityoflondon.gov.uk/we-r-blighty-pleads-guilty-of-illegal-street-trading-and-collections-in-the-city/  
    • The Government has set an ambitios target to build 1.5 million new homes bu the end of this 4 year term. Possibly unachievable due to various issues in the building industry but ambitious none the less.  What they seem to have failed to plan for, which was brought home by this year's drought, is adding more inferstructure including Reservoirs, power lines and sewerage treatment centres.  Ate they setting us up for more problems in the future? 
    • If you know the layout of the Chequers estate, it is clearly unfeasible and logistically complex to project images onto the facade of the main building. Unless you are the military or something.
