Home

We provide domestic cleaning and lifestyle services across Brighton, Hove & Sussex. We help you achieve the correct balance between the things you have to do and the things you would rather do.

Let us perform the more mundane tasks; organise a parking permit, book an appointment, get your car MOT'd, find that perfect present or research and plan a trip away. It is just like having your own personal assistant, giving you time to focus on what matters.

We will be there to help you succeed in your day-to-day life, minus the stress. As professional lifestyle managers we create order from your chaos.

Our office hours are Monday to Friday 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., although of course we can provide services outside these hours by arrangement.

About

Clare and Simon Hempenstall established Why Bother in 2006. Coming from busy professional backgrounds, we know first-hand how the demands of a hectic and stressful life can become overwhelming.

We were inspired to provide these services following our own search for a quality domestic cleaning firm we could rely upon and trust. We spoke to a number of fellow residents within the Brighton & Hove area and found a number of like minded individuals who wanted more free time back in their lives and would be prepared to invest in a first class service they could trust completely.

We pride ourselves in our excellent customer service and the ability to take away the stress and burden that surrounds our clients' everyday lives.

Why

According to the Department of Trade and Industry, 56% of people work in excess of 40 hours per week with one in six people working more than 60 hours a week compared to one in eight in 2000. British men work the longest hours in Europe and 69% of working-age women are employed with 57% of working women work full-time.

We live in an era where time is a precious commodity, most of us struggle to achieve the correct work-life balance. We find ourselves struggling to fit the personal to-do list into our working day. Or we spend our evenings and weekends trying to catch up, when we should be relaxing and enjoying all that life has to offer.

Services

Domestic Cleaning

Why Bother is committed to providing you with a reliable, trustworthy and experienced cleaner. Our staff have been carefully selected through a rigorous recruitment process.

Why Bother offers you the highest quality service. Our domestic cleaning experts will take great pride and care over your home, ensuring that you receive a professional service, whether you are a regular or one-off customer. We offer 4 core domestic cleaning services;

Regular Domestic Cleaning

Our cleaning experts will clean, dust and polish, leaving your home spotless. Contact us and we will arrange a visit to view your home to discuss your individual needs, allowing us to put together your own personalised task list.

Ironing & Laundry

Why bother wasting hours working your way through a never-ending pile of ironing? We'll do it for you; ironed professionally either at your home or at one of our premises.

Why bother hauling your laundry to the laundrette once or twice a week? We'll do it for you. Alternatively, if you have a machine at home, we can put a load on whilst we clean.

Spring or One-off Domestic Cleaning

Whether it is to help sell or rent your home, or for your own peace of mind, a spring clean will give your home a sparkle.

Our one-off domestic cleaning service is suitable for all customers who do not require a domestic cleaner on a regular basis but just when the need arises.

Every home needs a spring clean from time to time, involving a thorough clean of those areas you don't tackle weekly. One-off domestic cleaning includes the same duties and tasks of a spring clean.

For one-off or spring cleaning we require four hours minimum per visit. Examples of what we will do are detailed below.

- living areas and bedrooms

- Bathroom and lavatory

- Kitchen and utility areas

Why Bother provides all necessary antibacterial cleaning materials on request, should you prefer, we also have a full range of eco friendly products (surcharges may apply).

After Party or Emergency Cleaning

Once all the fun is over, wouldn't it be nice to know that you do not have to spend hours cleaning up the mess? If you are throwing a party, let us take care of the messy aftermath.

Why bother will come and clean your home straight after your party. Or, if you would prefer, we will send a team of domestic cleaners round the next day. Our cleaners will clean and tidy absolutely everything.
