Very worrying. Please think carefully.
Before going ahead I would consider this organisation carefully. They were contracted weekly and for the first few months all was good. They were reliable, worked hard. I always liked to see them and took out coffee and snacks. Then over Winter there was no contact from Sept until the following April. They then arrived in 2023, without warning, so we thought, good! They said they had lost all their staff. However over that year (2023) they only managed 4 visits all year - 10 Apr, 9 Jun, 27 Jul and 16 Sep. This should have been weekly. We are both so busy and work from home so it was confusing but we didn't complain, at any point, where we clearly should have. When we approached them this year, they said they hadn't been back because we smashed their van window! What??? Firstly, what a load of garbage - why would we do that? Secondly, they parked their van a way from our house? Thirdly, I have no idea what van they have or what it looks like? Fourthly, surely they would have taken this very seriously and contacted the police? Fifthly, if this were so they would never have come again so how do they account for huge chunks of time in between the visits? What excuse was there for the other 22 weeks that they didn't show up or message us or anything really (if gardeners only do 6 months a year as they say)? Why also would we contact them again to come work here if we damaged their van? Finally, we have CCTV and it covers a wide area. We have their dates and we didn't even leave the house whilst they were here. Never had any experience like this with gardeners. It has been traumatic and unprofessional. If only for the unreliability, I would be very careful. This sounds much like a scam and smells very suspicious. We have asked them for copies of the invoices because their fees are included in our costs but they refused to give us these.
