Second Home Cleaning in Sheffield

Owning a second home is a wonderful luxury to have, but owning a second home in Sheffield is even more special. Between the rich cultural offerings in the city and the beautiful, vast landscape of the nearby Peak District, Sheffield is one of the UK’s best kept secrets when it comes to family or couple getaways.

Whether your second home is located in the countryside suburb of Fulwood, the picturesque village of Dore or a vibrant city centre neighborhood like St. Paul’s, a second home in Sheffield offers a place of refuge where you can enjoy the city or escape into the countryside with your loved ones.

However, owning a second home isn’t always a bed of roses. Like any property, your second home needs to be cleaned and looked after, checked for maintenance issues, and have its meter readings taken. The upkeep of a second home can be a hassle, especially if you live far away or rent it out to guests throughout the year.

This is where Poppies Sheffield can help. We offer dedicated Second Home services that include taking care of the cleaning and housework, safeguarding your keys and carrying out security visits, inspecting the property for faults or defects, and managing your mailbox and meter readings.

With Poppies, having a second home is a haven, not a headache.

What Second Home Services Do We Provide?

Cleaning

We provide professional cleaning that can include deep cleaning, spring cleaning, general tidying, laundry and ironing, bed-making and defrosting the fridge or freezer. We can clean before, during and/or after your visit, whichever suits you. If your second home requires regular attention, our regular housework service can be delivered on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis.

Keyholding

The security of your second home is a high priority. Thanks to our stringent security measures, you can rest assured knowing that your house keys are in safe hands. We assign our clients’ keys a code number and store them securely in a key safe when not in use.

Home security visits

It helps to have someone check up on your second home whilst you’re away, especially if it’s sat idle for long periods. We’ll visually inspect both the interior and exterior of your property, looking out for any signs of accidental damage, vandalism or an attempted break-in. We’ll check your doors, windows and roof, as well as your garage, shed or greenhouse if you own any of them.

Mail forwarding

One of the most common inconveniences of owning a second home is having your mailbox or hallway flooded with mail. Let Poppies forward your important mail to your main address, neatly stack non-urgent mail, and dispose of any pesky “junk” mail that’s been shoved through your letterbox.

Meter readings

Staying on top of your second home’s meter readings can prove difficult, especially if your utility supplier requires them on a monthly or quarterly basis. If you fail to submit your meter readings on time, your supplier will most likely send you an estimated bill which can be significantly above your actual energy usage, meaning you’re overpaying. We’ll make sure your meter readings are submitted accurately and on time so you only pay for what you use.

Appliance maintenance and servicing

From the lights and electrical appliances to the radiators and boiler (which we all know can be a pain in the behind!), we’ll check that everything is in working order so your second home stay goes off without a hitch.

Associated home services

We can also arrange gardening, window cleaning, painting, decorating and chimney sweeping services to help keep your second home in good condition all year round.

Why Choose Poppies?

High-quality, professional service

Like all of our services, Poppies’ Second Home services are built on a commitment to quality and consistency. We provide our team of domestic operatives with the highest level of training to ensure that our clients receive a service we’re proud of.

Bespoke package

Whether you’re a frequent visitor or you rent out your second home for most of the year, our Second Home services can be tailored to suit your needs. We’ll visit your property and meet you face-to-face beforehand to discuss your requirements, which will allow us to draw up an accurate written quotation and specification outlining the details of your service.

Permanent, reliable staff

Unlike some other domestic cleaning service providers who source their staff from temp agencies, our team of domestic operatives are all properly recruited, highly trained, fully insured and permanently employed. This allows us to protect the interests of our clients while ensuring we provide the best possible service.

Decades of experience

With 40 years (and counting!) of experience, it’s safe to say that we know a thing or two about looking after homes. Since our beginnings in 1980, we’ve provided domestic cleaning and associated home services to many satisfied clients in Sheffield and throughout the rest of the UK, which has earned us a reputation as one of the best and most reliable cleaning providers in the country.

Supervision

Just to be doubly sure that you receive the level of service that you’re promised when you first sign up, we employ Quality Control supervisors who routinely check that your Second Home services are carried out properly while ensuring that any changes to your package are made quickly and accurately.
