Well Polished Anmeldelser 

I am writing this review as a serious warning to anyone in the Stevenage and Hitchin area considering using Well Polished, specifically the franchise run by Cate (C-A-T-E) Brown. My experience was not just unprofessional; it was deeply concerning from a data security perspective.

This company was presented as a top recommendation by a research AI, based on what appeared to be a perfect 5-star rating from just 17 online reviews. My real-world experience was the complete opposite of what this data suggested.  

I called for a simple quote for a deep clean and a future fortnightly service. When I asked what information was needed, the franchisee, Cate Brown, replied, "everything." When I questioned this, she proceeded to take my full name, postcode, house number, verified my private phone number from her caller ID, and took my primary email address.

After securing all my personal data, she ended the call abruptly, claiming to be busy but promising to send an "email package" with all the information. That email never arrived.

Over the next 48 hours, I was completely stonewalled. My three voicemails and a follow-up email were all ignored. My concern grew significantly after contacting other professional cleaning firms for quotes, all of whom confirmed they only ever require a postcode to provide initial pricing.

The most disturbing part came after I complained to the Well Polished head office about my data being taken without any service being offered. I then received an email from Cate Brown claiming she had not taken down my details and only had my phone number from a voicemail. This was a blatant lie, proven by the fact she was replying to the very email address she claimed not to have.

Due to the seriousness of this, I have since filed a formal complaint with the ICO (the Information Commissioner's Office, which investigates the misuse of personal data) and have also reported the matter to Trading Standards. The Well Polished head office has also failed to respond to my formal complaint, showing a complete lack of accountability from the top down.

This behaviour is not just unprofessional; it is deeply suspicious. My real-world experience makes me question why a business would operate this way, gathering sensitive personal data under the false pretence of providing a quote, only to ghost a potential customer and then lie about it when confronted.

Do not trust this franchise with your personal information. The combination of data harvesting, complete lack of professionalism, and outright dishonesty is a serious warning sign. Stay well clear.

Silvia arrived on time, was helpful and worked really hard to finish the cleaning.
Thanks 👍 👍 👍

From initial contact to first clean I can’t fault the service. Efficient, professional and the person assigned to clean my mum’s house could not have done a more thorough job. Really pleased and would recommend Well Polished to others.

I needed to organise a deep clean of my Father’s flat following a sudden deterioration in his health and consequent hospital admission. I had spoken to a couple of agencies, but as soon as I spoke with Kate (Chingford), I felt immediately reassured that my request could be met with ease and efficiency. It was by no means the cheapest, but the cleaners did an excellent job of turning a flat in a poor state of cleanliness to a flat that was pretty much sparkling. As part of the clean (as part of the request) the carpets were also revitalised. Thank you so much to Kate and her cleaners for being able to respond to this in a timely manner and relieve me of one issue in a complex situation .

Really great service. Tina is always happy to help and a lovely lady. My cleaners Amy and Jody couldn’t be any better and are amazing with my dogs ,which was a big must for me. The girls are always friendly and professional and do a fantastic clean. I would thoroughly recommend.

From the onset of using Well polished to source a cleaner for my father, I would describe the company as efficient and professional. They understood his circumstances and matched these to a cleaner. For different reasons we had two different ladies clean at different times and Paula in the office listened to the feedback we provided and also provided flexibility as a result of our change in circumstances. We recently had Poppy- Rose undertake a deep clean at the house, she was very thorough in her work and did a very good job. Paying attention to the smaller details. If I require the services of a cleaner in the future I would without hesitation contact Well Polished and would certainly welcome Poppy-Rose.

From start to finish, Well Polished made a fantastic job of deep cleaning my house. Tina is a lovely lady and fully understood my requirements. The results are great, it looks amazing. I would highly recommend Well Polished to anyone looking for professionals that do a great job

We have just had our first clean for my mum with Jessica she was fabulous her cleaning was a big 10 out of 10 and she has a lovely personality my mum liked her which made her quite happy to have a cleaner. Well done well polished for providing a fab service and a wonderful cleaner thanks Jackie, Tracey & Mum x

Helpful and professional. Responds quickly. Kind and friendly. Definitely recommend.

Started well but this company use sub-contracted cleaners. If you get a good cleaner that is responsible and cares about the client then you are onto a winner, if you require more than a one off clean.
However, be aware that in my experience, the cleaner can choose to not visit with just a few minutes notice, change days, times or not fulfill their agreed schedule at all. The company have little recourse and have to then attempt to find an alternative cleaner at short notice that may not materialise.
The company try their best to provide a stand in, but this is far from ideal for many customers.

Booked in two cleaners for a one off deep clean. Booking process was efficient and easy, the two cleaners arrived on time and were very polite. Highly recommend 🙂

please could you send my thanks to Kym and Kirstie. They have done a fantastic cleaning job in the bungalow. This is my first chance to get over there. Thanks again

Well polished were very helpful and managed to fit me in at short notice. Jordan, my cleaner was really good. Nothing was too much trouble! Would highly recommend. House was super clean after!

Well polished found me an excellent cleaner. They listened to the details of what I was looking for and promptly arranged for Angela to start cleaning the next week. Angela is thorough & efficient, I am so grateful for her help every week. She cleans everything from light-fittings in the ceiling down to the skirting boards and the house feels great when she’s done.

When Angela was away they arranged for Hannah to do a cover clean so we didn’t miss a week, she was fabulous too.

Really pleased with well polished and their team. Thank you.

Very responsive, friendly and professional.
Cleaner did a great job and I wish I'd used them on a regular basis rather than a one-off clean.
I'll use them again.
Highly recommended.

Had Nicola in to do a deep clean and am delighted with the work she did. Would definitely recommend.

I’ve been using Well Polished services for sometime now and cannot fault the service, the Lady who have cleaned my home has high standards and very happy.
Danielle and all the staff are lovely and professional always emailing to check in on the cleans and always reply to any questions or queries I have had promptly. I can’t fault them at all and recommend them to you. 😊

Tess has been first class since she has started cleaning our propery.

She is very personal to our requirements and the quality of the clean is perfect.

I would highly recommend.

Aimee responded quickly on my first enquiry. The set up process was simple and straightforward and my cleaner Angela had been doing a fabulous job since then. Will happily recommend.

Great service, great cleaner everything was 5 stars, thank you Yadah (Alice) for managing the whole process.
