Household Tasks in Greenvale
Greenvale homes are generally bigger, and a lot of people here live with family. That changes what household support should look like: the funding covers your share of the work, not the whole house, and it helps to be clear about that from the start.
Household tasks is normally booked as a standing visit: the same day each week or fortnight, working to an agreed list rather than an open brief. The list is written down before the first visit and can be changed whenever you want it changed. Most of the friction people have with this support comes from never having written the list down at all.

Your share of the work, not everybody's. In practice that means your room, your washing, your dishes, and the shared spaces in proportion. We write down which rooms and which jobs before the first visit, because it is a much plainer conversation to have now than three months in.
Yes to the garden — mowing, whipper snipping, weeding, pruning and taking the green waste away are all on the list above. Garden work sits under household tasks when it is reasonable and necessary upkeep of the place you live, which covers most ordinary garden maintenance but not a landscaping job. Windows are the one that varies: wiping them down as part of keeping the place liveable is fine, but a whole-house window clean is usually a separate job and not what this funding is for. We will tell you which side of the line something sits on before we do it, rather than invoice you for it afterwards.
