We have been using Merry Maids for years now and they have never let us down. All the girls are friendly and hard working. They are also so flexible and happy to change slots when needed. Merry Maids have been lifesavers arriving with very little notice to help us clean up after a car drove through our front wall five years ago, as well as helping us survive a period of building works.read more

My wife had not previously thought about having someone clean our home and it was with some nervousness she decided she needed some help and engaged Merry Maids. She had no reason to be concerned. It has all worked out very well. The girls have been very nice and always ask for my wife's comments and happily do anything she requests.read more

About Us
A little bit about us
Merry Maids of Bromley, Orpington & Bexleyheath began trading in 2002 when Ian Stringer chose to leave behind a career in International Banking to start a franchised business. Ian chose to become a franchisee of Merry Maids after he obtained literature from over a hundred franchisors, eventually visiting five of them. Merry Maids impressed him with their professionalism, worldwide coverage and enormous experience in the industry.
15 years later, the business employs 18 maids and a supervisor, Donna Mortimer. Many of these have worked for Ian for several years.

Tenancy and Letting Agent Services
Tenancy and Letting Agent Services
We are experienced at working with letting agents to help keep their clients and property owners happy. All too often property owners are faced with the hassle of redecoration and deep cleaning at the end of a tenancy in order to get their property back into a rentable state. That’s where we can help. We have designed our tenancy clean to provide you with the best possible service. Our cleaners know how important it is to leave the property as immaculately as possible whether people are moving in/out or selling a house.
If you are a letting agent and have your own cleaning specification we are happy to follow your own specialised requirements.
To enquire about booking a tenancy clean. We will be happy to provide you with a team of maids, using professional materials and equipment, always cleaning to a high standard, which we guarantee. We often works as part of a tenancy agreement to regularly clean your clients’ properties keeping them clean and tidy for the duration of the agreement so that there are no end of tenancy surprises.
Use us because:
- We can keep an eye on your clients’ properties because we’re there regularly
- We notify you of any potential problems
- By visiting regularly, we can keep on top of the cleaning, which reduces the need for deep cleaning
- We can ensure a swift end of tenancy change over, making the property available for the re-let immediately after the tenant has vacated.
- We can also co-ordinate carpet cleaning where required.
We are also happy to offer a service to landlords and letting agents to clean communal areas on a regular basis.
Pricing
Pricing
Cost is obviously an important factor when choosing a cleaning service. At Merry Maids Bromley and Orpington we are quite familiar with people calling us and asking for our ‘Hourly Rate’ and this can be quite distracting from the big differences between one service and another. We hope this summary helps to explain the differences in cost from different types of provider.
There are three very distinct types of cleaning service:
- A Professional Company. Where the staff are employed legally on PAYE. They receive holiday pay, sick pay when they are unwell and contributions into their pension. These are workers rights and all good employers are responsible for this. All equipment and products are provided. Health and Safety Law is adhered to and all hazards and accidents are the responsibility of the company, not the customer. All staff attend the office twice a day, once in the morning to collect equipment, supplies , work schedule and customer keys in the morning. All are returned safely in the afternoon. Staff attending the office is essential to manage workload and arising issues. Such a business will typically be run from business premises.
- A Cleaning Agency. Staff are self – employed. They might only visit the Cleaning office once on the day of their interview and never again. They are paid directly by the customer who then assumes employer responsibilities. Equipment and supplies are provided by the customer who then assumes health and safety responsibilities. The cost per hour is comprised of the cash paid to the cleaner and the agency fee. Such a business will typically be run from a spare bedroom.
- A Mrs Mop type cleaner. Who may live round the corner and come and clean on a casual basis for cash.
At Merry Maids Bromley and Orpington we hope that you can see the value in employing a professional and responsible service. There will of course be a difference in cost. We will always be happy to come over and meet you, see your home and give you a no obligation quotation but please don’t call us and ask for our ‘hourly rate’.
We do understand that some customers will choose their cleaning service predominantly on price, but we are unable and would never hope to compete on price with services in the second and third category.
Dementia Friends
Dementia Friends
Alzheimer’s Society’s Dementia Friends programme is the biggest ever initiative to change people’s perceptions of dementia. It aims to transform the way the nation thinks, talks and acts about the condition. Dementia touches the lives of millions of people across the UK. Dementia Friends was launched to tackle the stigma and lack of understanding that means many people with the condition experience loneliness and social exclusion.
Merry Maids of Bromley/Orpington is pleased to be Dementia Friends.
A Dementia Friend or Dementia Friends Champion is someone who has a better understanding of dementia; will know how to act more sympathetically towards people with dementia in their communities and workplaces; and has committed to taking a practical action to help people with dementia, contributing to a dementia friendly community. From telling friends about the Dementia Friends programme to visiting someone you know living with dementia, every action counts.
