Updated: 31/10/2020
Latest service update
We are open for business and our services are continuing to run but with some changes to ensure the health and safety of all our cleaners and clients during the outbreak.
Restrictions are different depending on which part of the UK you live in – please see the advice below for each region.
Restrictions for England are changing on 5th November as England enters a month-long national lockdown until 2nd December. The government guidance is that cleaners can still work inside peoples’ homes.
Country Restrictions & Advice
National Restrictions (from 5th November)
From the 5th of November, England will enter a national lockdown across the country, similar to the March lockdown where businesses will be forced to close. The lockdown will begin on 5th November and end on 2nd December. However, the government has made it clear that cleaners will still be permitted to work inside peoples’ homes as long as the government guidelines on social distancing and staying safe are followed. We supply our cleaners with a set of extensive guidelines to follow during their scheduled cleaning visits.
Stay at home
This means you must not leave or be outside of your home except for specific purposes. These include:
for work purposes, where your place of work remains open and where you cannot work from home (including if your job involves working in other people’s homes)

Can cleaners still work in clients’ homes?
The government has not made any changes in regard to work being carried out within homes. Domestic cleaners are still permitted in homes, no matter which Tier your area is in – as long as the government guidelines on social distancing and staying safe are followed.
Can cleaners travel around a “Very High” tier area?
Workers are permitted to travel in and out of the areas for work.
What about the “Rule of 6”?
Tradespeople inside your home are specifically excluded from the “Rule of 6” and you will not be in breach of the limit.
“A tradesperson can go into a household without breaching the limit, if they are there for work.”
