It is not always easy to maintain the green areas of a residential block in Kennington in good condition. Grass grows quickly with the weather around, hedges require trimming, and weeds sprout in the night. All of that is taken care of in our gardening service. We mow the lawn, trim hedges, trim shrubs, weeding out the undesired plants and picking up litter on the lawn. We also clean up cluttered areas, which have become wild areas. We want to leave the garden area clean, secure and friendly to all who live in the area.

We get that each block runs on its own beat. Others require a gardener every two weeks, others once a month. We are accommodating to your schedule and budget. We bring our own equipment when we visit and take away all green waste. You need not raise a finger. With blocks which have never employed any regular gardener, we can afford to do one general cleaning of the entire outdoor area, which includes trimming back bushes, raking up leaves and trimming the lawn. Then we can establish a repeated schedule, should you desire.

Shared patios, small courtyards or grass strips between parking spots are common in Kennington blocks. Each space is treated separately. The same technique is not used in every place. We have examples of raising the mowing height depending on the type of grass, and we will select weed killers that will not harm the kids and pets. We also have free information about tips on which plants grow best in the Kennington soil and which require less water. This assists you in reducing water bills in the long run.

A neat door, staircase and corridor make the inhabitants feel better about their home. We clean our blocks in Kennington, all the common indoor areas. We clean carpets, hard floors, polish glass panels, wipe surfaces, and clean corners with cobwebs. We also sweep off junk mail and leaflets that accumulate around mail slots. Bin stores are usually the most ugly, we empty them, clean them and disinfect them so they cease to smell and begin to appear presentable.

We do not clean only what is easily accessible. Up high we have extendable dusters to do ceilings and light fittings, and down low we do scuff marks off walls and skirting boards. In the case of blocks which have carpeted stairs, we bring our own vacuum, which operates via a socket near the block (we never bother without asking). We clean your block lounge or laundry room, too, in case it is shared. You say what should be done, and we do it.

Since each block is unique, we will give you a checklist at the end of each visit, showing what we have completed. We take pictures of the work done as well. And that you can see precisely what has been cleaned and provide us with swift feedback. In case you notice something that is not right in the next two days, we will revisit and make it right without charging you any additional fee. And that is our pledge.

There are instances where a block may need more than usual gardening- they need a complete overhaul. It is then that our landscaping service comes in. We erect new fences, brick boundaries around lawns, erect bicycle storage sheds, and shape corners with seating and flora. We also clear out the old and beat-up bushes and put in low-maintenance bushes which remain green throughout the year. In areas where vehicles tend to park on grass, we put in place low barriers or posts to protect the grass.

Any landscape project begins with a site tour. Our eyes look at your space, we hear what you want done and sketch a plain plan. No coercion - you may say no any time. Should you give us the thumbs up, we will book the work and update you on a daily basis. We will always take before, during, and after pictures to ensure you can see the difference. We also do the cleaning up of the place and make it look as clean as possible. Kennington has transformed many of its worn-out outdoor spaces into spaces that people enjoy. We may do like that to yours.

As a small team, we will be able to maintain lower prices as compared to large landscaping companies. We do not charge anything extra that you do not require. The materials and hours we actually work are all you cover. In case you are not sure of something, such as a brick island or a flower bed, we can give you the best advice on what will suit Kennington's weather and your budget.

Minor problems will become giant-sized without attending to them. Unsteady handrail, flickering light in the stairwell, door that fails to close properly - such details irritate the residents and may even become a safety hazard. These small issues are repaired with our basic maintenance service before they escalate. We replace light bulbs, repair door hinges, fill little holes in the wall and repair peeling paint. We also mend dripping taps in communal toilets and mend broken paving slabs around the entrance.

We are not constructors, but we have had much experience with the sort of repairs which blocks require every week or month. In the case of bigger work, such as a roof repair or plumbing that is severe, we will inform you and assist you in locating a professional. But we are your team when it comes to ordinary stuff. We make a record of the minor repairs that we perform, and we forward a list to you with photos. In that manner, you can document what has been repaired and be able to budget your maintenance more effectively.

The Kennington blocks in the old buildings have to be frequently maintained. We do not mind working on buildings of any age. We learn how to pair paint colours, locate replacement pieces to old door handles and how to operate safely with older electrical systems. There is no need to spend time trying to locate a few tradespeople since we do the little things on your behalf.

Rubbish being stacked up at the bin store is one of the most common issues we experience in Kennington blocks. One mattress or a couple of bags of old clothes placed next to the bins can easily boost the amount of waste. You have an informal dump in no time. We get rid of that rubbish quickly - normally in three days after you give us the green light. We take away all that, vacuum and clean the floor. When the bins on the block are full, we transport the rubbish in our van.

We do not simply steal the rubbish; we also discuss with you how to prevent its recurrence. In some cases, it is just a matter of placing a sign or locking the bin store. And we can assist with that. To maintain the bin area clean and tidy, we could arrange a monthly visit to have the bin area cleaned on a regular basis. When the bin store is cleaned up, you will be surprised how good the entire block will look.

We trust in telling what we learn. At the time we visit your block in Kennington to quote on cleaning your block, we will also provide you with free tips on how to maintain your garden and the common areas in good condition in between visits. We can inform you about the easiest plants to maintain, how often to trim the grass, and which cleaning products can be used on your particular surfaces. You need not employ us to receive this advice; this is included in our service.

We would be happy to discuss with you should you be a residents' association or a property manager needing a long-term partner for your block. We are not huge but reliable, simple, and simple to do business with. We do not cut corners; that is why we have low rates since we maintain low overheads. You will notice the grade of our work.
