But they would only to about 5 hours a time minimum, or something stupid. Think I was being charged £60+ a month.

5 hours a time is a joke really, I live in a flat. My relative does it all in about 90 minutes. She must have been sat here drinking coffee and watching TV all morning.

That's ridiculous the agency I work for its a minimum of 2 hours. A flat yes Id say easy 2 hours @ the most depending on the size of the flat. Id never refuse to do a room.

I was quite lucky really, they had it in the small print of their contract that you could cancel it within the first month if you put it in writing. So I binned them. Or I would have been stuck with them for 6 months. I had one of them even refuse to clean my flat full stop! I guess they're used to cleaning the big luxury houses and not pokey two bedroom flats.
