Vehicle Services


How often should I get my car valeted? 

For regular upkeep, a valet every 4–6 weeks keeps your car looking its best.  

 

Is car valeting worth the investment? 

Yes! Car valeting not only enhances your car’s appearance but also protects the paintwork, preserves the interior, and ensure the resale value is as high as possible. It's an investment in your vehicle’s longevity. 

 

Do you use safe cleaning methods? 

Absolutely! We use pH-neutral shampoos, microfiber cloths, and safe techniques like the two-bucket wash method to ensure your vehicle is cleaned without scratches or damage. 

 

Can I book a valet in bad weather? 

For outdoor services, extreme weather conditions (heavy rain, snow, or strong winds) may affect the process so in this instance we may have to reschedule. We do provide our own gazebo to work under for lighter rain. 

 

Do I need to book an appointment in advance?
We recommend booking in advance, especially for our more detailed services, but we also offer same-day bookings when available. Contact us to find a time that works best for you.

 

Do you clean the engine bay?
Yes, we offer engine bay cleaning as part of our premium valeting service. Our team carefully cleans the engine bay, removing dirt and grime while ensuring the safety of all components.

 

What if I need to cancel or reschedule my appointment?
Cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice will be charged 50% of the agreed service cost. Any cancellation made the day before the appointment, regardless of the time, is considered less than 24 hours’ notice. .

 

Can you remove pet hair from my car?
Yes, we offer a specialised pet hair removal service as part of our interior cleaning package. Our team uses specialised tools and techniques to remove pet hair from upholstery and carpets, leaving your car free from fur.

Cleaning Services

How do I book a cleaning service?
Booking is easy! Simply contact us via phone, email, or our website to schedule an appointment. For domestic and office cleaning, we’ll arrange a consultation to assess your needs before providing a personalised quote. Oven cleaning can be booked directly through our website or by phone.

 

Do you offer one-off cleaning services?
Yes, we offer both regular and one-off cleaning services. Whether you need a deep clean for your home, office, or oven, we’ll tailor our service to suit your requirements.

 

How are your prices determined?
Our domestic and office cleaning services are priced per job, based on the size, condition, and specific cleaning needs. For oven cleaning, we offer fixed prices depending on the type of appliance and any additional items. We provide a free consultation and quote before we begin any work.

 

Do I need to be present for the cleaning service?
For domestic and office cleaning, it’s generally recommended that you be available for the initial consultation so we can discuss your specific needs. However, for ongoing regular cleans, you don’t need to be present—just let us know any access instructions, and we’ll take care of the rest. For oven cleaning, you don’t need to be present, but we are happy to work around your schedule.

 

Do you bring your own cleaning supplies and equipment?
Yes, we bring all necessary cleaning supplies and professional equipment. 

 

Are your cleaning services insured?
Yes, all our cleaning services are fully insured, providing you with peace of mind that your property is in safe hands.

 

How long will the cleaning take?
The duration of the service depends on the size and condition of the property or appliance. We focus on getting the job done to a very high standard rather than how long it takes, ensuring thorough and quality results every time. We’ll provide an estimated time frame during the consultation based on your specific needs.

 

What if I need to cancel or reschedule my appointment?
Cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice will be charged 50% of the agreed service cost. Any cancellation made the day before the appointment, regardless of the time, is considered less than 24 hours’ notice. 

 

Do you clean ovens with self-cleaning functions?
Yes, we clean ovens with self-cleaning functions. We’ll manually clean all parts of the oven, including the interior, racks, and trays, to ensure it’s spotless and free of grease and residue.

 

Do you clean ovens in the same visit for other appliances?
Yes, we can clean ovens and other appliances (such as microwaves, hobs, and extractor hoods) during the same visit. You’ll receive a comprehensive service for all your kitchen cleaning needs.

 

What areas do you cover for cleaning services?
We provide domestic, office, and oven cleaning services throughout the South Hams. If you're unsure if we cover your location, please contact us to confirm.
