Maid Service

Dedicated household staff, quietly attentive.

One familiar person who keeps the household running. Not a cleaning visit, but a standing arrangement built around the way your home works.

Overview

How we approach it

A maid service is a relationship rather than a task list. Your household staff member comes on a regular schedule, learns your routines, and takes care of the work that keeps a home in order.

We begin with a household brief: what needs doing, how often, and what should be left alone. It is reviewed together after the first month and adjusted as your needs change.

  • i.

    Weekly or fortnightly staff

    A dedicated person on a fixed day, with cover arranged and introduced in advance.

  • ii.

    Household management

    Supplies replenished, deliveries received, tradespeople let in, and a running household log.

  • iii.

    Laundry and pressing

    Washing, drying, ironing, and folding, with garments returned to where they belong.

  • iv.

    Meal preparation support

    Groceries put away, ingredients prepared, and simple meals readied to your instructions.

  • v.

    Errands

    Dry cleaning, pharmacy collections, returns, and local errands within agreed limits.

Begin with a conversation about maid service.

Tell us a little about your household. We will arrange a conversation, then send a written plan. Nothing begins until you agree.

Tell us as much or as little as you like: who lives in the home, what feels difficult at the moment, and what a good week would look like. We will ask a few practical questions, then take the time to think before we suggest anything.

  1. 01

    Tell us about the household. A short request form, or a telephone call if you prefer.

  2. 02

    A conversation, at your pace. By phone, by video, or at home, whichever suits.

  3. 03

    A written plan to consider. Who, when, and at what cost, set out plainly. You are under no obligation.
