Reputations are not built overnight
In Referenceline's view, this track record is more important than the ratings. Don't be impressed by a few old reviews which may not be representative.  Look for firms with a commitment to asking for feedback - good or bad - from their customers.  We recommend that you look for a track record of ratings and reviews in at least 9 of the last 12 months and that you should not be too concerned about an isolated negative review.  Ask the firm for their side of the story.
 


 
Good Practice
Businesses have a legal responsibility to treat you fairly, but it's often hard to know what questions to ask or what standards to expect.  They are the experts and you should be able to rely on them to help you make decisions.  These questions explain the commitments that this business has made to follow a code of practice and they will help you understand what you have a right to expect.
 
Charges: 100%
Before starting work, did the firm explain the charges including labour, materials, callout & VAT (as appropriate)?
 
Timing: 100%
Before starting work, did the firm explain when the work was expected to start and finish?
 
Payment: 100%
Before starting work, did the firm explain how to pay (e.g. cash, cheque, etc.)?
 
Reliable: 100%
During the work, did the firm keep their promises, explaining and agreeing any changes about the work, costs or timing where necessary?
 
Invoice: 100%
On completion, did the firm give you an invoice showing the cost of materials, labour and VAT?
 
Guarantee: 100%
On completion, did the firm give you a guarantee for a specified amount of time, or usage (where applicable)?
You can see how many customers have said "Yes" in answer to each question, but please don't expect 100% in every case.  Nobody's perfect and some customers may not be completely sure about the answer.  It's more important that you understand these questions and discuss them with the business so that you both agree what good service means for you.  A responsible business will be happy to explain the details to you and it's always better to clarify these points upfront to avoid misunderstandings later on.

Thorough cleaning of house; cleaning of all insides of windows + glass doors.
 
Cost: £149
 

"At initial phone contact I was appreciative of the direct, friendly and efficient manner in which my request was dealt with by Tony.
I was impressed that Tony came himself to our home to assess the job. He immediately grasped the nature of the job, and the degree of cleaning we wanted, in a house that contains both domestic and business areas.
When I was obliged to request a change of our agreed date for the work, Tony was most helpful in finding another date.

On the agreed date, Tony and his colleague arrived with all tools and equipment that they required.
They were professional and efficient in all aspects of the work; sensitive to our use of the house during the day; considerate and careful of many precious items ( of sentimental value and otherwise ); in some instances going beyond expectations when cleaning particularly neglected areas; at all times maintaining a calm and spirit of good cheer. Their experience in this work was obvious, and their trustworthiness absolute.
At the end of the day we were left with a transformed home.

We hope we will be able to employ the Nith Valley Cleaning services in the future. We will certainly recommend this high quality service to friends and acquaintances who require cleaning of any kind.

House - deep clean
 
Cost: £82
 

"Tony contacted me the day after I left my details on his website. He was extremely helpful and listened to what I was requiring. He sent me a quote, as requested, the evening of his house visit. Tony also manage to fit in my house clean within a week.
The cleaning was of a very high standard and included cleaning windows and blinds.
Overall I am very pleased with the service and am considering asking nith valley to clean my house on a regular basis.

A one off deep clean on a 3 bedroom bungalow across from our house! The house is being prepared for my 90 year old mother!
 
Cost: £114
 

"This was the second time I had used Tony and his staff! The first time was a very thorough deep clean on a sadly neglected bungalow my son was moving to!
The work was of an exceptionally high quality and I had no hesitation in contacting Tony when I required work on a house we had obtained for my 90 year old mother!
Once again the work was undertaken in a professional manner as expected!
I would have no hesitation in recommending the firm and have in fact recommended them to a number of friends and acquaintances!
I would like to say thank you so much to Tony and his staff for all their sterling work! 👏👏😀"

Fortnightly cleans of a family home. Includes living, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom areas. Dusting, hoovering, cleaning, sweeping and mopping is carried out.

"Lyn at Nith Valley Cleaning has been coming to our house for a number of months to do fortnightly cleans. From the start she was receptive to our needs and met initially to discuss the required cleaning regime. Lyn always cleans our house to a high standard, leaving it spotless and exactly how we like it. She uses her initiative and will clean areas that require it. We are delighted with the work Lyn at Nith Valley does for ua and would highly recommend to others."

Tony''s team clean and turnaround our holiday cottage between guests. They not only do a great job cleaning, they check the inventory carefully and replenish consumables. So far guests have rated the property 10/10 for cleanliness.

"Tony has been personally involved in setting the standards of the work for our arrangement and the day to day service is delivered by Tara. Both Tony and Tara have a great eye for detail.


Not only does Tony have exacting standards but he will go above and beyond in helping resolve issues that crop us. We live 90 mins drive from the property, so having Tony near by is a great help.


I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Nith Valley Cleaning Services.

House cleaning after departure of Holiday Let guests.
 
Cost: £120
 

"Tony and his team - usually Karolina - have performed exceptionally well in a tight time frame to return Castleview House to its 5-Star status as demanded by our, occasionally less then 5-Star, guests. Given that the property contains 4 Bathrooms, a large Kitchen and too many ornamental cats, this has been no mean achievement.

Tony's positive response to suggestions for changes and upgrades in service delivery has been especially welcome after the problems experienced with previous cleaners and, whilst Nith Valley's fees are towards the top end of the industry spectrum, we feel that these are wholly justified by the quality of its performance.

I asked for a deep clean to be done in my elderly fathers house and for fortnightly cleaning to be arranged as he was no longer fit enough to do the cleaning himself. I was very impressed with the professional approach from Tony at our first meeting. The deep clean was carried out and now my father has fortnightly cleans done. My father is at ease with having the lady come into the house - which I think is very important
 
Cost: £53
 

"I telephoned Tony the owner initially to set up a meeting with myself, my elderly father and Tony regarding cleaning the house. It was a very relaxed meeting and put my father at ease. Tony explained what services his firm offered and I told him what my father would like done. Tony said that if there was anything further needed than what was agreed - it would be no problem. Tony explained that he tries to match his cleaners to the person and in my father's case this seems to be the case. As my father is elderly it was important that he is comfortable with a stranger in his home."

General house cleaning, hoovering , dusting , washing floors, cleaning indoor Windows etc.

"Tony came and assessed the level of cleaning necessary. We agreed that 3 hours every two weeks would be suitable. He answered all my questions about costs,methods of payment, how he selected staff, reassured me that his staff were appropriately paid and entitled to holidays etc.
Having agreed on a day when the cleaner would start, he decided that Jackie would be a suitable person to do our cleaning. She has now been coming to us every fortnight for the last nine months. She is pleasant, hardworking and flexible, always willing to adjust her routine to fit the tasks needing done.
Tony sends his bill monthly by email and I pay by bank transfer which I find very convenient."
