Please, read and share how much you wish or at least save the name of the company so you don't end up hiring them by accident!
I've booked a end of tenancy cleaning with Spring Clean London for the 26 of May. On the emails we exchange they also provided me with what would their service included! On that day I receive a couple and they start cleaning the house! I was home most of the time but to be honest, wasn't following them to see what they were doing, as I hired a professional cleaning company. You would think they know what they need to do! On the last hour of the cleaning I had to leave for an appointment! When I got back home, I notice multiple flaws on the work carried on! I emailed the company with pictures of some of what came as included on the list they provided me and or they were not cleaned at all or badly cleaned! We agree having a re-cleaning! Because obviously I was not gonna give the flat back on those conditions! But bare in mind that by this point, most of my things were out of the flat! And because I couldn't give it back like it was, I decided to stay to the re-cleaning would be done!
To start, unless they only have 2 cleaners working in Spring Clean London company, what sense does it makes to send me the same cleaners that I complained about?? Doesn't make any sense! They are coming in a bad mood cause I complain about them! And why do I want the cleaners that didn't do the job properly on the first time!
The couple arrived and literally start cleaning some of the things I had pointed out, attention not all but some of the points I said it wasn't done and 10min later they informed me that they were done...... I was shocked! And I knew there was nothing for me to say to them as obviously it was the company procedure!
So the first time I get an incomplete cleaning even according to their list! The second time, they "finish" the job in 10min..... resuming, I never got an end of tenancy cleaning service, because every time they left my house, the flat was never cleaned for a move out!
In result of all this and because they were late on arrival too, I had to book someone else to finish their job! And pay for it! I needed to open the door and check if the flat was now in conditions to be cleared to the landlady! And finally, after 2 visits of 2 people from Spring Clean London company and one person, one visit, the flat was finally clean to my standards!
I emailed them asking for a refund! Because I never got the service that I hired them for! Their reply resuming was: "Unfortunately we don't offer any refund.
The best we can offer for you is 15 % discount for all our services in the future, if you decide to give us another chance.
Let me know if I can be of further assistance."
Like if I would ever hire them again!
"Usually when it comes to a re-clean service, we send the same cleaners, who carried out the initial cleaning in order for them to complete the missed areas. Regarding the re-clean, our condition is that no one (such as builders, painters or decorators) has occupied or used any rooms/items in the property after an end of tenancy cleaning service has been carried out and also the client or his/her representative must be present at all times during the re-clean. In your case, the cleaners informed us that you were still at the property and it was still occupied on the day of the re-clean. However, the cleaners carried out the service and they did their best to cover your requirements. We require you or a representative of yours to be present at the end of the clean in order to make sure that the cleaning has been carried out to a satisfactory standard. The cleaners explained that you were at the property during the cleaning." Yes, of course I was at the property!! So should I be renting a hotel or stay with friends when I will have to have a re-cleaning?? If I'm not giving the flat yet because it's not clean to do so, of course I'm staying on it! The cleaners already got to the flat annoyed! What I can understand them completely and I saw straight away and they confirm it in this email that is just the way they work!
Terrible terrible experience!! Shit work! Bad customer service!
