Didn't show up the FIRST THREE TIMES!
We are extremely disappointed with this service. We made it VERY clear from the beginning that our ONLY requirement was punctuality and consistency. We both work from home so we have to work things around cleaners. Despite this, after a good first clean, the cleaner failed to turn up three times in a row, once due to 'diary confusion', once cancelling at the very last minute, and once simply not showing up at all (no communication). Each time we rearranged in good faith, only to be let down again. This level of unreliability is completely unacceptable, wasted our time, and showed zero respect for the client. We have cancelled our contract and would strongly caution anyone who values reliability to look elsewhere.
To be fair though, the office had good communication and refunded us quickly. We were asked kindly for a 'fourth chance', but come on... they were lucky to get even a second or a third chance. The only thing we wanted was a reliable service, and they fumbled the first visits. :(

Hi Jon
Thank you for your patience with my reply to your review.
I have reached out to your local office and the business owner Don Lyon is truly regretful that a catalogue of unfortunate events has led to a really poor experience which is not something which is strives for and an experience which should never have happened.
He has a Cleaning Manager, Szilvia, who deals with the day to day but Don will step in when occasionally something does not go to plan to try and take steps to make things right for his clients.
Sadly, in this case, he was not in the loop until l your patience had understandably run out and he believes he could have resolved the situation had I been given the opportunity earlier.
After being let down three times, it is understandable that you lost confidence and wanted to cancel and we can only say how sorry we are that it came to that point, because I know we had the potential to provide you with the reliable service you asked for.
Don has also asked that I add a personal note from him:
" I never take the loss of a client lightly, even after 12 years in this business, it still hurts. I am grateful that you acknowledged our communication and refunds were handled well, and I truly regret that we did not get the chance to restore your trust and deliver the consistency you deserved."
Thank you again for your honest feedback. I will continue to use experiences like this to strengthen our systems and make sure we give every client the reliability they expect from us.
Please reach out to us directly if need anything from us in future.

Whilst we have had a cleaner allocated to us we have not yet had the service, however the introductory discussion with Angie was excellent and expect that later this week the cleaning will be to the same high standard.

Brilliant experience
Just an exceptional service. My account managers, Tish and Jack, are incredibly customer orientated and you can see that this profession is their passion. Communication is fantastic and they have high standards in the way that they operate and the service that they provide for me. My actual cleaner, Michelle, has literally improved my life! She offers a quality clean, every time, and goes above and beyond in so many little ways. I don't know what l ever did without her!

Newcastle upon Tyne branch
I understand this is a national company operating through local franchises. My comments are based solely on my experience with the Newcastle upon Tyne branch.
Before signing a contract, I would advise caution. The agreement is for a minimum term of three months (quarterly), during which the company charges a commission, and you pay the cleaners directly.
Please be aware that the cleaners may not be professionally trained or experienced, as many are just starting out. The onboarding process is conducted electronically, and everything may appear well-organized and professional — including a home visit — but you will not be given the opportunity to trial a cleaner before signing the contract.
Once signed, you may be assigned a cleaner (who they will claim is “perfectly matched” to your needs), but in reality, the cleaner may be entirely new to professional cleaning. While you can request a different cleaner each week, success with this may vary. Although you would initially be assured day and time of your choice for house cleaning, it might not work out due to frequent "sickness" and "shortage of staff/cleaners".
Even if you are dissatisfied with the service, the company fee for the full three months remains payable. To be fair, every business has to start somewhere, and over time they may be able to recruit and train better cleaners. I genuinely wish them the best.

Unprompted review
Reply from Time For You .Cleaning
We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet expectations. We aim to be as transparent as possible about our service model: clients pay cleaners directly for their time, and a separate management fee to us for vetting, insurance, and ongoing support. Our agreement does include a minimum term, which is clearly stated at the outset and reiterated in our Terms of Business before any payments are taken.
Regarding cleaner experience, while many of our cleaners are experienced professionals, some are indeed newer to the industry. All cleaners are reference-checked and interviewed in their own homes as part of our onboarding process. We always encourage open communication if a client feels a cleaner isn’t the right match, and the franchisee will do their best to resolve it swiftly.
We appreciate your acknowledgement that businesses grow over time, and your fair-minded wish for future success. If you feel there’s more we can do to address your concerns directly, please don’t hesitate to contact the franchisee or our head office team at headoffice@uk.timeforyou.cleaning.
Thank you again for taking the time to provide your feedback.

Reliable, personable and trustworthy cleaning
I had Matt call me almost immediately to hear my cleaning needs. Within 3 days he had arranged a cleaner which was brilliant. Since then I have had Matt check in with me and arrange cover cleans for when my cleaner was on holiday. It is such a relief to have regular reliable cleaning in my busy house and I feel that Matt oversees it all so well, it feels so personal. I’d highly recommend

Terrible experience
Terrible experience.
Too much damage too little interest or accountability.
The actual house cleaning was fine, but had to let them go after 6 visits due to multiple damages to contents and wall and perception of shoulders being shrugged by the franchisee.
Probably best to for another cleaning franchise.
Response to response: I explained that I am a tradesperson! There's a difference between lines a hoover brush makes and the scratches that were ingrained into my velvet bed frame (which are still visible), and if a customer having to spend 1.5hrs with a sponge, a hairdryer and a brush to try and minimise the damage is acceptable then fair enough, or the lines over my skirting and wall. I told you to forget it as I'd basically had my fill and although you state you take damages seriously, my perception was you took minimal interest. Not as much as an apology, but if you believe you did your up most then that's ok too, it's not my business. Let's move on, hopefully we can both learn some lessons here.

Hello
I have reached out to our Falkirk local office and their response is below.

Suzanne
Time For You Customer Services
Thank you for your feedback. I’m pleased to hear you were happy with the cleaning you received from our cleaners.
Regarding reported damages, as a company we take any damages very seriously and do have insurance cover for such events. During your service with Time For You you notified us of two instances:
1- You requested with the cleaner that they use your hoover to make lines on your bed frame-out with the standard scope for cleaning. On the 24/6 you complained that making lines had damaged your bed and spoke to your local franchisee on the phone. During this conversation you said it was fine once you went over it with a sponge and fabric brush, so no further action was required.
2- On 12/7, three days after your 6th visit (9/7) you made us aware of black marks to your stair skirtings. The cleaner hadn’t touched these for a couple of weeks prior, as you requested this task to be done on a monthly basis. This damage therefore doesn’t appear to be caused by any actions of a Time For You Cleaner dusting your skirtings. However, we did offer to investigate further if a trades person was to say otherwise, to which you replied “forget it” to your local franchisee.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with your local branch should you require any further assistance.
