Cleaner recommendations?

Beware of Maria Longo.


I encountered Maria Longo's details on this forum and reached out. We agreed date, place and time for cleaning. I agreed to all her terms (48 hr cancellation, booking in advance, no keys, start time at 7 pm and no over exposure to particulate matter). I know. Otherwise known as dust!


I found her arrogant and rude. We were meant to have a call today (what for, I do not know since everything was agreed and all I needed were references, which I could obtain in writing). I gave her two numbers my mobile and my office line, my office line because reception on my mobile can be patchy. I ended up missing the calls on my mobile because of said patchy reception and then I was subsequently in meetings. I asked her to call my office line so my secretary could take a message and I would speak to her later. All reasonable I thought. I returned to a very rude email essentially cancelling the booking, refusing to use my office line, demanding that I supply an alternate mobile number, and asking me who did I think I was asking her to speak to my secretary, citing that she worked for doctors, lawyers etc and why was it she needed to call my office line.


Yes, over something as simple as asking her to call me back. So proceed with caution. There is a very good reason why this lady is trawling the forums. She is rude, difficult and completely nuts.

    • In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River. When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.
    • Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost. 
    • I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
