Questions people ask

What happens to things we don't keep?

Charity shops, selling, recycling or the tip. Anyone taking rubbish away should be a registered waste carrier.

Will you throw things away without asking?

They shouldn't. Agree the rules first: nothing goes without a yes.

What does self-declared mean?

The provider has told us, but we haven't seen any documents. It's fine to ask to see certificates or proof of insurance.

Why I started Carers & Cleaners

When my mum, Jean, was diagnosed with dementia, I found it surprisingly hard to find good local help. In the end we found a wonderful independent carer, and later a cleaner, by word of mouth. I built Carers & Cleaners so other families don't have to rely on luck.
