A regular lawn cut needs different planning from a one-off garden tidy, and a deep clean is different from a weekly clean. Explain what needs attention and the standard you want to reach. Ask Who Can asks matching businesses about the work and timing so you can compare their replies.
What to include in your request
- Give an approximate garden size or number of rooms and list the areas to include. For cleaning, mention the surfaces, appliances or outdoor areas that need particular attention.
- Say whether this is a one-off visit or regular work, your preferred frequency and your available days. Mention pets, occupied rooms or areas that must not be accessed.
- Explain access and whether water, electricity, tools or cleaning products will be available. For gardening, say whether you need clippings or other garden waste removed.
Ways to ask
Choose an example to start an editable request. Nothing is sent to businesses until you complete and submit the request.
Before you agree to the work
Confirm the tasks included, whether the price is hourly or for the whole job, and who supplies materials. Ask about waste removal, minimum visit charges and arrangements if weather affects outdoor work. Discuss any relevant insurance or handling requirements directly before the appointment.
Businesses must offer the service and cover your location. Availability varies; a reply or booking is not guaranteed. Check the business and agree the scope, total price and timing directly.
Useful questions
Can I ask for a regular gardener or cleaner?
Yes. Include the frequency and preferred days in your request. A business can then explain whether it can offer recurring visits; availability for one visit does not automatically mean an ongoing slot.
What if I am not sure how long the job will take?
Describe the size and current condition, and attach useful photos if appropriate. Ask the business how it will estimate the work and whether it needs a visit before agreeing a price.
