Key Holding and Security Checks

Our key holding service provides you with keys locally for your own peace of mind and to let us provide access for contractors etc in your absence.

Security inspections are tailored to suit your requirements and give you peace of mind. No longer is there a need to worry about your property whilst you are away or whether it has suffered any damage during a storm. Likewise, by letting us check on your property you can reduce visits during the winter months and spend more time in the summer.

Gardening Services

Any garden left unattended will soon turn into a jungle, especially here in south-west France where the spring sunshine with a little rain means they can cut hay before the end of April. Grass left to grow unchecked may take you days to get under control, especially in a larger garden.

Whilst your garden in France is unlikely to ever be like a manicured garden at home, we can do battle with it so that it looks like a controlled French garden with everything in place. We can: Cut the grass regularly; Weed borders, paths, terraces and driveways; Trim and prune trees and bushes; and keep the garden generally neat and tidy. All you have to do, is enjoy your holiday.

Swimming Pool Care

Swimming pools need regular care and attention to keep them in the best condition and ready for use. Let us take the hassle out of caring for your pool in your absence so that it’s ready to use as soon as you arrive.

Maintenance

We are able to provide a maintenance service for your property dealing with routine upkeep such as cleaning gutters and minor repairs, painting doors, windows and shutters, through to emergency repairs pending the arrival of a local artisan.
In general, we are here to do what you need done and to make sure you enjoy your property to the full with as little hassle and stress as possible.

Pre-visit Preparation and Welcome Packs

Your journey was delayed and eventually you arrive at your home at nearly midnight, tired and hungry. The house is cold and you have nothing fresh to eat or drink in the house for this evening or the morning. In addition, you still have to make the beds before you can relax. How different would it be if you turned up at your house and the heating was on (if required), there was a welcome pack with fresh groceries in the fridge? Having eaten you can then have a nice hot shower without having to wait for the water to heat up and turn into freshly made beds. In the morning you can wake up knowing you can have breakfast without having to go out to get it, giving you a relaxing start to your holiday.

With our pre-visit preparation service and welcome packs we will make sure that your “home from home” is completely ready for your arrival. And when your holiday is over, just pack your bags, put the rubbish out and leave. Let us come in and strip the beds, wash the linen and towels, and clean the house ready for your next visit.

Receiving Deliveries

We are able to attend your property to receive deliveries for you. This may be useful for large deliveries such as furniture or heavy materials but for smaller deliveries by courier this may not be practical because no delivery time is specified. We can accept deliveries for our clients at our own address and then take these to your house on our next visit.
