I've used Hire a Maid for over 3 years now on a recommendation of a friend-of-a-friend and I…read morecouldn't be happier with the service. The pricing model is a bit odd at first, but it works really well as you only get the parts of your house cleaned that you want. When they come and do the quote they charge you per room - $X per bedrom, $X for the kitchen, $X for dusting etc etc. So we didn't get any bedrooms or dusting as the house is relatively new which keeps the costs down. Fantastic idea. They use all their own products, and the cleaners are excellent. Good attention to detail, consistent cleaning and happy to be flexible and do extra cleaning if requested or to swap cleaning one thing for the other (without a price change). Really reliable, cost effective, professional and an excellent cleaning service (of course). Highly recommend!

I booked Hire a Maid to clean up after my daughter's 21st birthday party. I paid the invoice in…read morefull ten days before the clean by bank transfer. According to them it usually takes one day for the funds to appear in their account, so let's say nine days before clean. There was no further communication from Hire a Maid so I naturally assumed that the cleaning slot was confirmed. However, no one turned up on the day. I rang, I emailed. No response (it was a Sunday). On Monday following I received an email saying that the cleaners had not been booked in as they had not received a screenshot of the payment. What the heck? They had received the payment! So clearly the payment sat in their account for about nine days but that was not sufficient to confirm the job, nor did they think to ring or email me to confirm it. I have since received a full refund but sadly, no apology. Will not make this mistake again.

Having neither the inclination nor the equipment (after the lawn mowers recent sad demise) to do…read morethe lawns ourselves, my partner and I decided to branch out and try Green Acres Home Cleaning services. At at a reasonable fee of $20 a fortnight for a decent mow and edging, the lawn was looking awesome. There really is nothing better than the smell of freshly cut grass! The regular guy who turns up to do it is friendly and chatty (though not too chatty). Green Acres also offers home cleaning services (as per their name) , repairs and renovation, car and pool valet all at great prices. The thing about this company is the people it hires, if you have strangers inside your house around your precious things you need to be able to make sure their not going to make off with your god silverware, thankfully Green Acres thoroughly vets all their employees so you don't need to worry.

Received a quote via from Albany Heat Pumps and their owner/director actually made the time to…read morecome to our property to see our needs and gave us a written quote on the spot. Had 2 other quotes and AHP were the best the price. Job was booked in and the two young guys that did the install were awesome! Were half an hour EARLY to the the time they said they were coming (unheard of these days!). Shoes off every time they came in the house - drop sheet on carpet to catch the small amount of mess and cleaned up and took all the packaging away when finished. Did an excellent job (commenting as a veteran tradie), set up the wifi unit - talked us through all that was needed to know. Job done in less than 3 hours. Love our new Mitsubishi Heat Pump. Thanks team! - Ross and Sue Beach Haven

The last time I had to hire a plumber, Hoffman Plumbers came to the party with flying colours…read more What you will get from Hoffman is a solid work done for a fair price. Old school, no nonsense, great work and no heart attack when the bill comes. That's what you want, and that's what I've had from Hoffman Plumbers. The vanity unit the plumber connected is heavy mahogany, marble and brass. That didn't stop the guy lifting it, and somehow carrying it through the bathroom and setting it down at the right spot before connecting it. That alone shows the above and beyond level of service - you can trust these guys to get it done correctly.

Nick was so easy to deal with, incredibly efficient, not to mention substantially cheaper than the…read morequote we got from another plumber. We called him up to inquire about installing our new dishdrawers, which was more complicated than usual since there was no obvious plumbing left behind from the previous home owners. Regardless Nick came around the next day and said it wouldn't be a problem for him to install the dishwasher straight away. Within the hour we had a functioning dishwasher. Winning all round! Highly recommend.

A big contract came our way, and just like the London Bus joke of old, when one comes around, they…read moreall come at the same time. This was great for the business, but our resources were limited to say the least, and instead of giving up the lucrative job, we outsourced the cabling to Cablenet. For slightly more than what we would have charged to do the job, Cablenet managed to conduct themselves faultlessly, and managed to lay all the cabling within the scheduled time frame. The client liaison was great to deal with, and the post production follow up was refreshing. I can recommend them for all your cabling needs, big or small.
