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.
