Why Hire a Housekeeper With Us?
We complete the most extensive background checks in the industry, including references, fine defaults, driving licence history, various registers, judgments, DBS, home country records and more. Our experience of interviewing hundreds of candidates provides us with an edge to read people better than anyone else.
We offer all our customers up to a one-year agency guarantee. This means that for every placement we make, we will offer a free replacement within one full calendar year. This also means we will not just push you to hire irrelevant candidates, but we actually stand by the candidates we recommend. By working with us, you will benefit from the most extensive candidate vetting in the industry!
You will only get charged in the case of a successful placement – and nothing is paid in advance! This means no agency signup fee and no trial fee.
Most of the hospitality recruitment agencies just post an ad and they’re done. If they get applicants, great, otherwise tough luck. However, we’re actively approaching and contacting potential candidates in various groups, websites, boards and through word of mouth. We also laser-target ads on social networks. And since we only do permanent roles, we have a very good pool of candidates.
Since we work with high-profile customers, all our clients benefit from legally binding confidentiality. The candidates will sign an NDA and will not know the name of our client until you select them for the interview.
We know that the more people you try, the higher the success rate. That’s why we will only charge you when you hire someone, not also when you trial candidates.

Budgeting For Hiring a Housekeeper
Mid-level experience housekeepers: £40,000 – £45,000 per annum.
Highly experienced or specialized housekeepers: £45,000 – £50,000+ per annum.
For live-in housekeepers, the salary might be on the lower end of these ranges as accommodation (and sometimes meals) is provided.
These figures are rough estimates, and the actual salary can vary based on individual circumstances and specific requirements of the role.
On top of these costs, you should also account for the employer’s NI contributions which are about 10% on top of the gross salary.
Considerations For Hiring a Housekeeper
Agreements:
It’s an absolute must to know exactly the work hours, duties, compensation, holiday, if travelling is required, live in or live out, bonuses, perks etc.
Duties and Responsibilities:
Clearly define the tasks you expect the housekeeper to perform. This could range from basic cleaning and laundry to more specialized tasks like caring for antiques, handling luxury clothing, or cooking.
Live-in vs. Live-out:
Decide if you want the housekeeper to reside in your home (live-in) or commute daily (live-out).
Consider accommodations, privacy, and facilities for live-in staff.
Experience and Training:
Depending on your home’s needs, you might want someone with specific experience or training, e.g., in handling high-end appliances or certain types of cleaning products.

We literally harrased Irene with our requirements and a sudden change of plans on our side and we would like to thank her for the patience she had for coping with us.

The Benefits Of Hiring a Housekeeper
In the hustle and bustle of today’s fast-paced world, maintaining a clean and organized home can be a daunting task. With the demands of work, family, and personal commitments, finding the time and energy for house chores becomes increasingly challenging. Enter the housekeeper, a solution that’s gaining popularity not just among the elite, but also among working professionals, families, and those who seek a harmonious balance between work and personal life. Let’s delve into the manifold benefits of hiring a housekeeper.
Time-Saving
One of the most significant advantages of hiring a housekeeper is the time it frees up. No longer do you need to sacrifice your weekends or evenings scrubbing floors or doing laundry. With those hours saved, you can invest more time in hobbies, spend quality time with family, or simply relax and rejuvenate.
Professional-Level Cleanliness
A professional housekeeper brings expertise to the table. They know the best techniques to remove stubborn stains, the right products to make your windows gleam, or how to maintain the longevity of your delicate fabrics. Their trained eye can spot the dirt and dust that most might overlook, ensuring a consistently high standard of cleanliness.
Reduces Stress
A cluttered or untidy home can inadvertently increase stress levels. Walking into a home that’s clean and well-organized can be a significant mood booster. Knowing that you don’t have chores awaiting you at the end of a long workday can greatly contribute to mental well-being and reduce stress.
Customized Service
One of the beauties of hiring a housekeeper is that you can tailor their services to your needs. Whether you need daily cleaning, weekly deep cleaning, laundry service, or occasional organizing sessions, a housekeeper can adapt to what suits your lifestyle best.
Better Home Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance mean that appliances, furniture, and home fixtures last longer. By ensuring that everything is kept in the best condition, a housekeeper indirectly helps in averting potential breakdowns or damages, thus saving costs in the long run.
Healthy Living Environment
A clean home is not just aesthetically pleasing but also healthier. Regular cleaning reduces allergens, bacteria, and other harmful pathogens. For those with allergies or respiratory conditions, a well-maintained environment is crucial. A housekeeper ensures that your living spaces remain sanitary and hygienic.
Balance Work and Personal Life
For working professionals or parents juggling multiple responsibilities, a housekeeper can be a lifesaver. They help ensure that you come home to order and cleanliness, allowing you to focus on work or personal commitments without the added pressure of household chores.
Skilled Handling of Tasks
From handling delicate china to cleaning expensive upholstery, a trained housekeeper knows how to manage various household items with care and precision. Their skills go beyond mere cleaning—they can often handle tasks like basic home management, shopping, and even meal preparation if required.
Consistency
Having a housekeeper ensures that your home remains consistently clean. Instead of the sporadic deep cleaning sessions that many of us resort to, a housekeeper ensures that cleanliness and order are maintained regularly.
Peace of Mind
Lastly, there’s an immense peace of mind that comes from knowing professionals are handling your household chores. It allows you to focus on other aspects of life, secure in the knowledge that your home environment is in good hands.
In conclusion, hiring a housekeeper goes beyond the luxury or indulgence it was once perceived as. In today’s world, it’s a practical solution tailored for those seeking efficiency, cleanliness, and more free time. Whether you’re a busy professional, a parent managing a household, or someone looking to strike a better work-life balance, the manifold benefits of hiring a housekeeper might just be the answer you’ve been looking for.
