Where does We Help operate?

Pricing depends on the tasks, property or household needs, frequency and time involved. We agree the scope and quote before confirming a visit; there is no charge to submit an enquiry.

What family information should I put in the form?

General age ranges, the number of children, your suburb and timing are useful. Do not enter children’s full names, medical details or door codes; discuss sensitive requirements directly through an agreed channel.

Yes. Tell the team when your priorities change. New tasks, hours or skill requirements may affect availability and pricing, so changes should be agreed before the next visit.

What is the difference between cleaning and housekeeping?

Cleaning focuses on dirt, dust and surfaces. Housekeeping can also include practical jobs such as dishes, tidying, changing linen and putting things away. We agree your mix before the visit.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Can cleaning and laundry happen in one visit?

You can request both. We consider the tasks, appliance cycles and time available, then confirm what fits into the visit and whether additional time is needed.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Do you take laundry away?

The service described here is household help with laundry in your home. If you need collection, delivery or a specialist laundry service, ask before booking so we can confirm what is possible.

Can I book folding without a clean?

Yes, you can enquire about folding and putting away already-clean washing as a standalone task. Tell us the approximate number of baskets and any wardrobe preferences.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Can the same person clean and babysit?

These tasks may require different team members. Child supervision takes priority and must not be treated as an incidental extra during cleaning. We discuss the appropriate arrangement before confirming either service.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Can I request evening babysitting?

Yes. Include your date, approximate hours and suburb. The team must confirm availability and the right fit; an online request is not a confirmed babysitting booking.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Will you throw my things away?

No item should be removed or discarded without your agreement. We can help sort options and organise what you keep, but decisions about belongings remain yours.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Do I need to buy storage boxes first?

Not necessarily. It is usually helpful to understand what you are keeping and how you use the space before buying storage. Discuss any purchases with the team first.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Will my dog be walked alone?

Tell us whether you need an individual walk. The walking arrangement, duration and suitability are confirmed with you before booking; group walks are not assumed.

You can request feeding and companionship visits. Share your suburb and dates, then discuss visit frequency, food instructions, access and emergency contacts with the team.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Can I give you a mixed list of errands?

Yes. Include the tasks and deadlines so we can plan a sensible order and confirm what is possible. A collection with a fixed closing time may need to come before flexible jobs.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
How are groceries and other purchases paid for?

Purchase budgets, payment methods and reimbursement are agreed before any shopping takes place. Do not put card details or account passwords into the enquiry form.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Can you help with both packing and cleaning?

You can request both, but they need a clear sequence. Packing usually needs to be completed in an area before a final clean. We agree the tasks, timing and appropriate team with you.

Do you manage an entire rental property?

The services described here are practical property support. Full property management, tenancy administration and maintenance contracts are not included unless separately discussed and agreed.

Include your preferred access window in the enquiry. We review availability, security arrangements and the work required before agreeing a schedule.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Do you clean specialist facilities?

You can enquire, but suitability and the required methods must be assessed first. We do not treat specialist environments as an ordinary office clean.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Does a deep clean include the oven?

Only if oven cleaning is included in the agreed scope. Mention the appliance and its condition when enquiring so it can be considered in the quote.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
How long does a deep clean take?

That depends on the size, condition and requested detail. The team reviews your priorities before estimating time; a room count alone is not enough for a reliable duration.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Can you learn our household preferences?

That is the aim of regular support. Share your routines and priorities, and agree a simple list the helper can follow. Consistent staffing is subject to availability.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Is housekeeping the same as a deep clean?

No. Housekeeping is about everyday household tasks, while a deep clean focuses on more detailed cleaning. You can ask for both to be included in a plan.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Can I include a pantry reset?

Yes, request organising alongside cleaning. Sorting food and arranging shelves require your preferences and enough time, so they should be included in the scope.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Do I have to book in spring?

No. A seasonal reset can be requested whenever your home needs one, including before guests arrive or after a particularly busy period.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Can you guarantee my bond is returned?

No. Bond decisions can involve the tenancy condition, damage and other matters beyond cleaning. We agree the cleaning tasks rather than promise an inspection outcome.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Should I move everything out first?

An empty property generally makes a final clean easier to plan. Tell us what will remain and when movers will finish so the schedule reflects actual access.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Can you follow my folding method?

Tell us your preference and show an example when practical. A short handover helps make the finished drawers and towel shelves feel familiar.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Can folding be added to housekeeping?

Yes. We can consider a combined task list, with the amount of laundry and other priorities reflected in the agreed visit time.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Do you supply bed linen?

The standard enquiry assumes you provide suitable clean linen. If you need another arrangement, discuss it before booking rather than assuming linen hire is included.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Can you prepare a guest bedroom?

Yes. Request the bed change and any additional room cleaning or tidying together so the guest room is included in the agreed plan.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Do I need to be there while we sort?

Your input is useful for decisions about keeping, donating and storing clothes. Once those decisions are clear, some organising tasks may be completed independently by agreement.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Can you organise children’s wardrobes?

Yes, describe the space and the kind of sorting you want. Keep children’s identifying details out of the online enquiry; practical preferences can be discussed directly.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Will you discard expired food?

We can set items aside for you to review. Disposal decisions should be agreed with you; nothing is automatically thrown away just because we are organising.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Do you provide matching containers?

Storage purchases are discussed separately. We can start with the containers and space you already have, then identify whether anything else would be useful.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Do you transport boxes and furniture?

Transport is not automatically part of packing or unpacking assistance. Tell us if you need it so the team can clarify what is possible and what needs another provider.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Which rooms should be unpacked first?

Choose the spaces you need immediately, such as the kitchen, beds and everyday clothing. We can use that order to guide the time allocated to your unpacking plan.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Can you manage same-day changeovers?

Include the exact departure and arrival times. The team must check availability and whether the scope can realistically fit that window before confirming.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Will you replace guest supplies?

Restocking can be included using supplies you provide. Purchasing replacements or managing stock levels needs a separate agreement.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Does house sitting mean someone stays overnight?

Not necessarily. Some people need short visits while others need overnight presence. Tell us which you mean and we will discuss availability and scope.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Can pet feeding be included?

You can request it together, but the animal’s routine, visit frequency and care needs must be agreed specifically rather than assumed.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Is this dog boarding?

Do not assume a boarding facility is included. This page is for dog-sitting enquiries; the location, supervision and any overnight arrangement need to be confirmed.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Can you help with a dog that needs special handling?

Describe the handling requirements directly with the team. We need to assess suitability before accepting the request and cannot promise that every situation can be accommodated.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Can you visit more than once a day?

Tell us the schedule you need. Visit frequency depends on availability and your pet’s requirements, and must be confirmed before you make arrangements around it.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Do I supply the food?

Yes, the standard plan uses your pet’s usual food and supplies. Any purchase or collection needs to be agreed separately.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
What happens if an item is unavailable?

Agree whether substitutions are allowed and how you want to be contacted. A clear rule avoids purchases that do not suit your household.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Can you collect an order I have already placed?

You can enquire about collection. Provide the store, collection window and general details; any codes or sensitive information should be exchanged through an agreed direct channel.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Can my list change from week to week?

Yes, discuss changes with the team. New tasks may affect the time, skills or quote, so they should be confirmed rather than added without notice.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Can you make purchases on my behalf?

Only within an arrangement agreed in advance. Purchase limits and payment methods need to be clear; an enquiry alone gives no spending authority.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Do we need a clear-desk policy?

It helps to agree which surfaces can be cleaned and which items must not be moved. Secure documents and personal items, then include the desk arrangement in your site checklist.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Can you clean a small office?

Yes, you can enquire for a small workspace. The quote reflects the site, tasks and frequency rather than assuming every office needs the same contract.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Can you clean while trades are still working?

Tell us the site status. Ongoing work may make a final clean impractical or unsafe, and the team will need to agree the appropriate timing before accepting it.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Is building waste removal included?

No, it is not assumed. Waste removal, hazardous material handling and specialist equipment require separate arrangements.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Will you clean inside my fridge?

Only when this is included in the scope. Food handling, emptying shelves and suitable products need to be discussed before fridge interiors are added.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Can you use my preferred cleaning products?

Tell us which products you want used and any surfaces requiring care. Equipment and products are confirmed as part of the booking arrangements.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Is mould removal included?

Do not assume it is. Describe any mould concern before booking so the team can distinguish ordinary cleaning from work requiring specialist assessment.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Can I request only bathrooms?

Yes, you can enquire about a focused bathroom clean. The team will discuss the number of rooms, condition, timing and scope before quoting.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Should the clean happen before furniture arrives?

Where practical, cleaning an empty property gives easier access. If that is not possible, we can discuss a staged plan around your furniture and unpacking priorities.

Can you make the beds on moving day?

You can include this in the request. Keep the correct clean linen accessible and confirm that beds will be assembled before the agreed setup time.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer

Yes, tell us the number of rooms and beds. The time needed depends on whether they require cleaning, linen changes, tidying or all three.

Can you buy the last few essentials?

Ask for errands to be included and agree the shopping list, budget and payment arrangement before any purchases are made.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Can different areas have different schedules?

Yes, explain which spaces need frequent attention and which are used less often. The team can consider that pattern when agreeing the checklist and timing.

Do you replenish bathroom supplies?

You can ask for restocking from supplies you provide. Purchasing consumables or managing stock needs a separate arrangement.

Explore this service ↗Link to this answer
Can I start with a one-off visit?

Yes. A one-off request can be a useful way to discuss your priorities before deciding whether recurring support is suitable. Availability and scope still need confirmation.

We aim for continuity on regular visits, subject to availability and suitability. Any cover or change should be discussed with you.
