I do not recommend this company

I booked handy cleaners on the advice of my letting agent in order to prepare my flat for rental. Apparently I did not articulate the specific phrase required "end of tenancy clean" that the company needed in order to quote for the work or to provide an appropriate service. I did explain the situation - that I was moving out and the flat was due to be let. I was therefore somewhat surprised when the flat was cleaned in less than 2 hours - very hastily - and charged at an expensive rate. When I complained I was villified by the company representative for having left some personal items in the flat - which I had already explained would be the case. This had no effect on the ability of the cleaners to clean the flat and therefore was a strange way to respond to my concern. I ended up having to pay them more money to rectify the job. The cleaners who arrived had poor understanding of English and a harried look about them. I have the impression from reading around and glassdoor that they do not pay their contracters well. I'd rather go to an individual or a smaller company in future who are more trustworthly and communicate more effectively. I would not use them again.

Avoid at all costs

Avoid at all costs

I cannot stress enough how much you should avoid this company. I paid up front for an end of Tenancy clean with carpet clean at a cost of £247.

The flat was already cleaned to a reasonable standard (bar the oven) by the previous tenant but I thought it would be good to give the place a once over prior to selling the property. I wish I hadn't of bothered.

I asked the company specifically for two things which I was told would be fine: 1) Clean the door hinges as the decorator had got some paint on them 2) pick up a few small items of rubbish in the garden (no more then one black bags worth, if that).

I was told that they would inspect the hinges and let me know if there would be any additional cost, and that the garden a little rubbish in the garden wouldn't be a problem. They visited the property and did neither of the jobs and also didn't touch the oven.

The company told blatant lies by stating that they didn't agree to pick up the rubbish in the garden and that they had it on voice recording. I asked them to share the voice recording and when I clearly gave them the time when it was said during the conversation they state and I quote 'I could not note any mentioning the rubbish'

Eventually they returned to clean the oven but the hinges and garden were not done.

Given the price paid and I was quite up front about what I wanted to done they were terrible. Not to mention the fact that the only area that need attention (the oven) was not touched. At this price you should not have to inspect to see if the work was actually done which cost time and money. Avoid!!

Helpful and efficient job

The company was very helpful and prompt in arranging a visit. The cleaner was efficient and helpful, and did a great job, even with marks I thought were very unlikely to come out. Delighted with the results.

Extremely disappointing

I based my decision to use this cleaner on the previous Trustpilot reviews and score. I was wrong. One half of the team was diligent and the other took smoke and phone breaks frequently and had to be reminded to do certain things by me. After they left, I found mildew remaining in certain corners of rooms, vacuuming hadn’t be done everywhere, and windows hadn’t been done. To name but a few issues. My new tenant refused for health reasons to move in (mildew etc) before another clean was performed. When my agent emailed Handy, followed by me, for a refund, both emails were ignored. Overall, this was a very disappointing service.

Reply from Handy Cleaners

Dear James,

We are sorry to hear about your disappointing cleaning experiences but we are afraid that you have addressed your review to the cleaning company not responsible for it. Hence, we would like to rectify this case and make sure that we get all the additional information regarding your complaint such as job reference number, post code in London and/or the names of the cleaning team who had performed the cleaning for you.

We are asking for all that information because we have searched through our entire database and have not found a customer with your name, nor a complaint containing any of the issues you are referring to. Also, we are certain to state that due to our live phone customer support and email response time, there are no complaints that would ever be left ignored. Our cleaning technicians are properly vetted and trained and we are certain that they would not be taking a smoke while cleaning your property, and all that leads us to conclude that your review is in the wrong company's page.

Also, it seems to happen often that our company - HANDY CLEANERS, gets mistaken for another cleaning company with the similar name - HANDY, so we tend to believe that this is also such case. Here is why we would like to get to the bottom of the case and rectify the matter.

Please let us know if there is something else that we could do for helping you resolve your case!
Kind regards,
The Handy Cleaners Team

First class service.

I had my stairs and bedroom carpet cleaned and I am delighted with the results. My carpets look like new and smell lovely. The technician was lovely too and did a terrific job, I would highly recommend and will be using them again.

Appalling end of tenancy clean - would not recommend

Appalling experience. Asked them to do an end of tenancy clean. A full re-clean was needed and even then, the house wasn't clean. They made excuses for the poor standard of the work, with an agressive and intimidating team leader. When the independent inventory professional identified bleach stains to the carpet, the company disputed this, blaming me for not telling the cleaners to remove the stains at re-clean (err... the dye has gone) and then saying the inventory professional was clearly biased. No interest in inspecting the damage themselves. I am bewildered by the positive reviews as given my experience, I would never use or recommend. And the inventory professional said I'm not the first.

Great service

I needed an end of tenancy cl very urgently.
My friend recommended me this company so I decided to try if they would be able to do it.
They managed to fit me in for the next day which was amazing. The inventory check was spotless. Happy to recommend them to everyone!!

Excellent Service & Great Cleans

I have used Handy Cleaners a few times for end of tenancy cleans, sofa steaming and carpet cleaning. They are absolutely brilliant, everything is always sparkling after especially the hard to clean places like washing machines and ovens. I couldn't recommend more!
