Domestic cleaning may be provided in a variety of ways; therefore, it is important to vet companies to confirm they meet your precise requirements.  Listed below are the main types of cleaning company that may be found in Stanley:

1. Home Cleaning Companies

These may range from sole-trader Home Cleaners to large Limited Companies employing hundreds of people; they may also be part of a larger Domestic Cleaning franchise. There will normally be a formal contract in place between you and the company providing the Home Cleaning Services in Stanley. The work is usually billed on scope rather than actual hours worked and you may not have the same home cleaner(s) at each visit, as they sometimes work in flexible teams. The Domestic Cleaning Company should pay the cleaners directly and be responsible for PAYE requirements. Insurance is usually provided but the extent of cover may vary, though the bigger Home Cleaning companies should provide liability insurance for injury / damage and fidelity insurance in case of theft.

2. Domestic Cleaning Agencies

Essentially a Domestic Cleaning Agency works as a broker by matching Home Cleaners in Stanley to clients looking for a ‘char lady’.  An agency fee is charged, which is usually levied on hours worked by the cleaner; for example if you ask the cleaner to clean for 3 hours per week, you would pay the agency their agreed hourly fee x 3. Additionally you pay the Domestic cleaner what is due to them.  Usually the Domestic Cleaning Agency will vet cleaners, provide holiday and may also provide a degree of insurance, but rarely fidelity insurance to cover possible theft. You should also be a aware that the Inland Revenue may regard you as the cleaner's employer and therefore responsible for deducting tax through PAYE, if appropriate. Domestic Cleaning Agencies may be part of larger cleaning franchise.

3. Private Home Cleaners in Stanley

Normally this type of Home Cleaner is found from an advertisement in the local Stanley newspaper(s) or is perhaps recommended by a friend. You will usually have an informal ‘cash in hand’ arrangement with your private Home Cleaner, with no written contract and it is unlikely that they will provide any liability insurance or back up when they go on holiday.
