How to find a reliable cleaner?

[frankiesamson]

We're based in west london, how much should we expect a cleaner to charge & how do we find a good one?!

We have valuables in the house that have sentimental value so it ideally has to be someone we can trust, rather than a company "with insurance" who sends random cleaners & then denies all knowledge when somethings go missing 😂

We asked around with friends & neighbours but none of them know any good cleaners, and asked family but they live outside london.

We tried an app called "bizzby", and received a quote of £20 per hour. I'm not sure about their reliability.

Any advice on how to find & how much to expect appreciated!

Thanks

I've never found companies or advertisers to be reliable unfortunately. Only word of mouth seems to work, or randomly knowing someone willing & able
