Second Home Cleaning Services in Liverpool
It’s about peace of mind.
A second home is an “escape” away from where owners normally live and work. They still need to be looked after and, of course, cleaned.
This is where Poppies Liverpool can help.
Those of you who are lucky to own a second home in Liverpool know just how fantastic it is. A home-away-from-home in Merseyside offers a getaway from the grind of daily life, a place where you can relax, recuperate and enjoy life with your family, whether it’s near the beautiful coastal area of Otterspool Promenade near Aigburth and Cressington, the charming village of Woolton, or the beautiful parkland area of Calderstones, near Allerton.
For other people, a second home might simply be a convenient place to stay during the workweek while for some, it’s an investment that you rent out throughout the year so you can reap the benefits of a second home in other ways.
Whether your second home represents comfort or convenience, one thing that’s sadly unavoidable is the time and attention that owning it demands. Like any property, your second home needs to be cleaned, checked for maintenance issues and have its meter readings taken, amongst other things. This can involve a lot of time, energy and hassle — not to mention travelling, if you happen to live far away from your second home.
If you’re looking for help with managing your second home, look no further than Poppies. Between professional cleaning, security check-ups, appliance checks and mailbox and meter reading management, our Second Home services can make your life as a multiple homeowner easier.
With Poppies, owning a second home needn’t mean having twice as much to worry about.
What Second Home Services Do We Provide?
Cleaning
From deep cleaning and spring cleaning to laundry and bed-making, we offer a quality cleaning service on a schedule that suits you. We can clean your second home before, during and/or after your visit. Or if your property requires more regular attention, our regular housework service can be delivered on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis.
Keyholding
We get it: handing your house keys over to someone else feels strange. With Poppies, however, you can rest assured that they’re in good hands. Our clients’ keys are given a code number and are stored securely in a key safe when not in use.
Home security visits
Anything can happen to your second home whilst you’re away, and if the property is secluded, how can you be sure it’s safe and secure? Poppies will keep an eye on your home for you. We’ll visually inspect both the interior and exterior of the property for signs of accidental damage, vandalism or a break-in. Your doors, windows and roof will all be checked, along with your garage, shed or greenhouse if you own one.
Mail forwarding
With the amount of mail that most of us receive, it’s easy for your mailbox or hallway floor to get flooded with envelopes, especially if you’re away from your second home for long periods. From forwarding the important stuff to your main (or most convenient) address, neatly stacking any non-urgent mail and disposing of “junk” mail, we’ll manage your second home’s mail for you.
Meter readings
If you don’t have a smart meter at your second home, providing your utility supplier with monthly or quarterly meter readings can be a hassle. Let Poppies take care of the meter readings for you, so you don’t have to worry about receiving an estimated bill and paying more than you need to.
" I have been with Poppies for just over a year now and have never had cause for complaint. They are professional, efficient and friendly. When your cleaner is on holiday you are offered a replacement, which is very convenient. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they work very hard to keep both clients and staff happy. I would 100% recommend Rob and his team at Poppies - you won't find another company to beat them. Ever. "

Arrive at your second home in perfect condition

Peace of mind that your second home is being looked after whilst you’re away
