School Testimonial
Helping Hands were reliable and efficient. They attended our premises at short notice, even when ringing in the morning they adjusted their schedules and sent in a team in the afternoon. All the staff were pleasant and super-efficient. They did everything we asked, cleaning to a high standard. A supervisor was present at all times and organised their team to work in the designated areas. Full PPE was used to ensure Covid safety. Great service, thank you.
Car Showrooms
Following many years of employing small teams (2-3 persons) at each site to conduct the general cleaning of offices I realised the problems around skill level, sickness and holiday cover was proving difficult to manage. As the business grew, the problem had only increased. It was time to seek the services of an outside contractor.
The contractor would need to be able to provide a service initially at one branch, Ciceley Lane which includes offices, toilets and canteens for white and blue collar workers.
The window of time to complete the work could not exceed 1.5hrs per day over 5 days per week commencing at 7:30am each day. This would need to be answered by a number of individuals working as a team under very concise instructions.
From several companies tendering for the business Helping Hands were the only company that emphasised their ability to be flexible in terms of service and growth. Over the years the one contract has developed into three within Lancashire and Greater Manchester, all with their own specific requirements. Retail showrooms, customer contact areas in addition to offices, toilets and canteens. The time to provide the cleaning at my retail premises meant an earlier start 6:00am but to be finished by 8:00am.
In a word Flexibility. The approach by all the staff at Helping Hands, be it contact with head office or the cleaners themselves, the ‘can do’ attitude has and I am sure will continue to exceed my expectations. None more so, if proof were needed, have the changes required to meet Covid demands proved the adaptability.
All businesses have suffered in the pandemic, but the option to have most people working from home was only applicable to a few Ciceley staff members.
Ciceley has built up its business to provide vehicles and or maintenance to front line operators. The transport needs of Northwest Ambulance, Police, local council services along with the online delivery providers such as Sainsbury, Tesco, Argos and Iceland had to be maintained. Social distancing, in a sanitised environment for staff and customers was a priority. Helping Hands invested in the latest equipment to provide such a service from the outset. They also repeated this service ‘out of hours’ at very short notice should a staff member be called upon to self-isolate, ensuring the facility could continue to function with minimal disruption to the customer and safety of staff.
At all times the Helping Hands staff maintain a smile, despite the high level of PPE they have to wear. Great people doing a tremendous job.
Offices Testimonials
When we built our world-class EKM HQ in Preston, Lancashire, we knew that we needed a world-class team to take care of it. Helping Hands can be relied upon and our building remains in it’s as new condition, because they pay it the care and attention it deserves. I know that regardless of the things that need doing the Helping Hands team of trustworthy reliable professionals can get it done and they do so to exceptional standards.
After years of indifferent results in our Office cleaning we appointed Helping Hands following recommendation 3 years ago. We required the offices which include a shop element to be cleaned mid-week and finished by the 9 00am opening time. Despite a sizeable journey, and in all conditions, the Helping Hands team always arrive on time at 7 15am and always complete their task before opening. The team are friendly, hardworking , completely trustworthy and leave the offices spotless. I am absolutely delighted with the results and can’t recommend them too highly
We cannot recommend the Helping Hands Cleaning Company highly enough. Suzanne and her team are not only wonderful cleaners but very professional and extremely reliable, honest and trustworthy. The offices are immaculate after they have visited and worked their magic.
Domestic Cleaning Testimonials
Dear Helping Hands Team
After having to suspend your weekly service in March when Covid 19 restrictions were applied, I must confess to being apprehensive about restarting in August. As you are aware one of our household is a Tetraplegic and was also on the shielding list so we have been very stringent with our distancing and safety procedures.
After communicating with Suzanne and receiving information regarding your Covid Health and Safety measures we were reassured and resumed services today and it gives me great pleasure to feed back to you on your teams performance.
On arrival all the team put on disposable aprons, gloves and shoe coverings and masks were worn throughout their visit. A room was made clean and safe for all members of our household to be in while the remainder was cleaned thoroughly by your team. New products were opened and used in our home which was very reassuring. The standard was exceptional and upon leaving the supervisor checked all rooms and completed a final Covid disinfection of all hard surfaces such as rails and door knobs.
We are extremely happy with your service but more importantly are very confident in your staffs ability, understanding and adherence to the Covid training they have received and now welcome you back on a weekly basis.
We are happy that your company has survived this very trying time your staff are a credit to you and we wish you every success in the future.
I have been using Helping Hands for a number of years now, they have literally been a life saver for our ever growing family.I love a clean and tidy house but would work all week and then spend all weekend cleaning, Helping Hands changed all of that.They fit in with our busy schedules, nothing is ever a problem, not even our two dogs. Not only do the teams clean my home the Property Maintenance team has built a large fence around our field for extra security for our dogs.The teams are friendly, trustworthy and very efficient, they do a brilliant job! Now I come home to a clean house and have my weekends free, it really does make such a difference to family life.
I want to enjoy my time with my young children and the house is immaculate every single week. I would just ring them! The quality of service including the laundry is truly exceptional.
Trust and confidence is very important when allowing people into your home and as such I have no qualms with Helping Hands.
‘Helping Hands ‘ describes them perfectly. The team provide an excellent service and set about their work with an enthusiasm not matched by me!
I can only say I’m so glad I found them and appreciate the wonderful difference they make to our home.
Although I’ve not mentioned Magda by name but she always manages our team & it’s great knowing she knows exactly what we need doing & we can just leave her with confidence & get on with other things.
Helping Hands have provided a weekly cleaning and laundry service to my disabled brother over the last eighteen months. Their attention to detail is exemplary and the staff are friendly and accommodating.
In addition my daughter got married at the end of May and Helping Hands provided a carer service to help my brother on the day. This entailed ensuring he was properly attired, getting him to the church, helping and caring for him during the service, taking him home and ensuring he was properly settled. The level of care was outstanding.
Deep Clean Testimonials
Taking the decision to start allowing a phased return to our office for all the Team I asked Helping Hands to resume the cleaning that had had to cease on Lockdown. They suggested a deep clean with antibacterial spray and kindly suggested that the work could be undertaken over a weekend when the office was closed.
The results are wonderful – every nook and cranny cleaned and the whole building left refreshed , hygienic and ready for re-opening. I can’t recommend Helping Hands highly enough.
Holiday Home Testimonials
We have been using Helping Hands for both our personal households and our holiday let business since 2015.
During that time you have never ‘let us down’ once. I find your service very flexible and adaptable to our needs. On occasions I have called on your help at short notice and you have always delivered and been willing and able to accommodate our requests (despite the fact it must have given you a headache to sort out)
The staff team are friendly hardworking respectful unobtrusive and importantly trustworthy. They come in work efficiently and leave our holiday let ready for its next occupants. Punctuality is good and they are willing to respond to any reasonable request. The standard of cleaning is very good. We also use the laundry services. This is a much-appreciated service due to the volume of bedding etc that we incur.
The office staff are also very easy to deal with, being helpful and polite and keep me informed of schedule changes. Invoicing systems are straight forward
