It requires effort to ensure that the green areas surrounding a residential block are maintained. The mild weather in Clapham makes grass grow fast, hedges require frequent shaping, and weeds sprout overnight. All that is in our gardening service. We mow lawns, trim hedges, trim bushes, weed out undesirable plants and collect any litter that is on the lawn. We also address the forgotten areas that have become jungles. We want to make the garden clean, secure and attractive to all inhabitants.

Each block has its own schedule. Some need a gardener twice a month, and others once a month. We fit into your schedule and budget. We also come with our own equipment and leave behind all green waste. There is nothing to be worried about. In case some blocks have not had a regular gardener, we can do one thorough cleaning of the entire outside space, trimming the bushes, raking up the leaves, and giving the lawn a new trim. We can then set up a repetitive plan in case you want it.

Shared patios, small courtyards, or narrow grass strips between the parking lots are a common feature in Clapham blocks. We take care of each area separately. We don't apply a uniform method everywhere. As an example, we trim grass to varying lengths according to the grass type, and we select safe weed treatment that is not hazardous to children and pets. We also can provide free consultation on what type of plants are going to grow well in the soil in Clapham and the types that require less watering. This will assist you in reducing water bills in the long run.

The residents feel their home is tidy, with an entrance, staircase, and hallway. We clean blocks in Clapham, covering all the communal areas indoors. We vacuum carpets, clean hard floors, clean glass panels, and wipe down and remove cobwebs from ceilings. We also dispose of the junk mail and any leaflets that accumulate around letterboxes. Bin stores are considered the worst aspect of a block; we empty, sweep, and disinfect them to make them no longer smell or look presentable.

We do not clean things that are easy to access. We climb ladders - with extendable dusters to ceilings and light fixtures - and we creep on hands and knees - removing scuff marks on walls and baseboard. In the case of blocks with carpeted stairs, we carry our own vacuum that operates off a nearby outlet (we will need permission). In case there is a communal lounge or laundry room in your block, we clean those as well. What you say, you do.

Since each block is different, we send you a checklist after each visit, telling us what we have done. We also take pictures of the work done. In that manner, you will be able to see what has been cleaned and provide feedback in a short time. In case you find anything that is below standard within two days, then we will come back and repair it without any additional fee. That's our pledge.

Occasionally, a block requires more than usual gardening - a makeover. That's where our landscaping service comes in. We fence in new areas and build brick boundaries to lawns, build bike shed gardens, and design relaxation areas with seating and plants. We also eliminate the aged and worn shrubs and plant low-care shrubs that maintain their green all year round. In areas where vehicles park on the lawn, we put low barriers or posts to protect the lawn.

Any landscaping project will start with a site visit. We look at your space, hear your ideas and sketch a simple plan. No one pressures - you may refuse at any point. Giving us the go-ahead, then we organise the work and report to you every day. Before, during and after photos are always taken so that you can monitor progress. We also sweep up the area and make it clean. Most of the blocks in Clapham have transformed their worn-out outside environments into welcoming ones, which are used by residents. And so too may we do the same to yours.

Since we are a small team, we are able to maintain lower prices than big landscaping companies. We don't charge for unnecessary extras. You pay only for the materials and what we really work on. And even when you are not sure about a feature, such as a brick island or a flower bed, we can give you advice on the one that will suit best in the Clapham climate and in your budget.

Little issues may result in big problems when left unattended. A loose handrail, a flickering lamp in the staircase, a defective door, and so on, can upset inhabitants and even become security hazards. These small problems are repaired by our standard maintenance program before they develop. We fix bulbs, fix door hinges, patch small holes in the walls, and touch up paint where it has peeled. We also replace leaky taps in shared toilets and broken paving slabs outside the door.

We are not constructors, but we know the type of upkeep that blocks require weekly or monthly. In case of bigger projects, such as roof repair or a significant plumbing job, we will notify you and help to contact a specialist. But when it comes to the ordinary, we are the team that you want. We maintain an account of every little repair we do, and we send you a report with pictures. Then you can keep track of what has been corrected, and you are able to budget your maintenance.

Older buildings that are clapped together may require more common attention. We do not mind working on any building at any time. We have the knowledge of how to match paint colours, how to locate a replacement part on an old door handle, and how to operate safely with an old electrical system. You do not have to bother with locating more than one tradesperson; we do the small stuff so that you do not have to.

A common problem that we observe in Clapham blocks is rubbish accumulating around the bin store. One mattress or several bags of used clothes placed next to the bins may easily become the source of more garbage. You soon have an unofficial dump. We vacate that rubbish quickly - in three days on average if you send us the green light. We clean out all that, hose down and disinfect the ground. In case the bins of the block are full, we will collect the garbage using our own van.

We not only take the rubbish, but we also recommend how to avoid future occurrences. It can be as easy as a sign or a lock placed on the bin store. We can assist in that, as well. In the case of routine clearance requests, we may schedule a monthly visit to ensure the bin area is always clean. You will wonder how much the entire block will be improved when the bin store is neat.

We hold the idea of knowledge sharing. When we go round your block in Clapham to give you a quote, we shall also advise you freely as to how to maintain your garden and common areas in good condition between our visits. We are able to inform you what plants are the easiest to care for, how to cut the grass to achieve the most optimal results and what sort of cleaning products will be the most efficient on your specific surfaces. You need not pay us to receive this advice; it is a service that we offer.

We would be happy to discuss with you, should you be a resident association or a property manager seeking a long-term partner for your block. We are not the largest organisation, yet we are trustworthy, truthful, and convenient to do business with. It is not that we cut corners because our rates are low due to our low overheads. You will notice the quality of our work.
