Finding a quality cleaning service can be both time-consuming and costly. With so many service providers in operation, ranging from franchised businesses to local providers of all sizes, it is difficult to identify good quality cleaning services.

Avoid disastrous results and find a quality house cleaning service that will keep your home sparkling clean and give you peace of mind.

 Protect Your Home from Un-Insured House Cleaners

How to Ensure Your House Cleaner is Insured

It's easy to get proof of insurance — simply ask the house cleaning service to have their insurance company fax or post you a copy of their certificate of insurance. The insurance company is required to notify you if the cleaning company's insurance policy is ever cancelled.

The Certificate of Liability Insurance will list you as the certificate holder. It will also list the name of the insurance broker, the insurance company and the name of the cleaning company that is insured.

A cleaning company may offer a photocopy of their insurance policy as proof of insurance. Never accept this as there's no way for you to know whether the policy is current. The policy could have been cancelled the day after it was issued. Without proof of insurance directly from the insurance company you could be paying the rate of a cleaning company with insurance while unknowingly putting yourself at risk every time the cleaner is on your property.

Every reputable cleaning company will be happy to provide proof of insurance. Enjoy peace of mind every time your home is cleaned. Choose a cleaning company that has insurance to protect you and your home in case of damage to your property and injury to the house cleaners while they are on your property.

- For Your Protection

Before the first time your home is cleaned by the company -  go through your home with the cleaner to find out what they plan to use on the various surfaces. Many inexperienced cleaners use the wrong products or use the right products improperly. This can cause permanent damage or stains to your property.

Will the work be paid by the hour or by the job? A good cleaner will try to complete all the work requested and adjust the quality accordingly. Avoid getting a house cleaner that spends four hours in only half of your home.

- References

Ask for at least 4 references of current clients and check them out.

- Cleaning Checklist

Ask the cleaning service for a cleaning checklist which will list all the services performed for each home cleaning. Make sure to ask if the cleaning company charges extra for services such as: washing dishes, making beds, changing sheets, etc.

- Supplies

Ask if the cleaning service provides all the cleaning supplies and equipment needed to clean your home or if you are required to supply them.

- Policies

Ask to see the company’s policies on types of payment they accept, their cancellation policy and if they offer a guarantee.

Please visit here for a full list of Builders in Watford and Rickmansworth: http://www.goinglocal.com/watford/48-Builders

The article below is a good guide to choosing a reliable and trustworthy builder;

If you are thinking of having some building work done on your property, you will also be thinking about appointing a builder to do the work. Choosing a quality contractor to build a new extension or do internal alterations is very important. Everyone has heard horror stories about "cowboy builders" and the havoc they cause.

Always endeavour to use builders or tradesmen who are members of trade associations. There are no guarantees about the quality of their work but most should be reputable. These associations carry out checks on the builders before they gain membership status, therefore minimising the risk of choosing a "cowboy builder". All the associations have a code of conduct that members adhere to. There are a number of Builders Trade Associations, the following are the most common

• Ask the builder for references and names of previous customers, try and speak to them and look at the work if possible

• Get written quotes from two or three different builders

• Ask for work to be covered by an insurance-backed warranty

• Be clear about what you want done and ask for a written specification and quotation

• Agree any staged and final payments before work starts

• Avoid adding to the job or changing your mind halfway through, this leads to delays and extra costs

• Avoid dealing in cash

• If problems arise, speak to the builder straightaway: use the trade associations mediation and arbitration service if necessary

• Look for a trade association member

• If your work is complex ensure you commission a comprehensive set of building plans and specification, this will further cement the contract between you and your builder

• Many architects/agents will also provide a site supervision service if required

• Never pay for your work in advance of it being carried out

Why change or service your locks?

If your keys are not effectively working like they used to or they are getting worn out, changing your locks or servicing your locks is crucial for additional security. If your keys have been lost or stolen then changing your home or business locks is very important as often thieves know your home or business location; and by changing your locks you have the added security that not only your valuables are safe but you are ultimately safe.

Additionally when changing homes it is recommended to change your locks at the new property as it is hard to know how many keys the property may have had previously and who still has right of entry to your new property.

Changing your locks means you can feel secure knowing that no-one else has keys to your property.
