Estate Cleaning
Your Waltham Estate RMO caretakers provide
a high-quality cleaning and
maintenance service to the
whole of the estate.
Two dedicated caretakers carry out the cleaning tasks throughout the estate. The caretakers work to an agreed specification and estate cleaning charter. The caretakers ensure that the estate is kept clean at all times.
The caretaking service operates five days a week, between 9.00am and 5.00pm each day. Generally, the caretaker’s job is to:
