We carry Public Liability insurance and business insurance, as well as a set of promises to you.

Home Jane - our promises

Our promises – this is what we get up in the morning to strive to do…

  1. We promise to keep to our appointments

    2. If there are ever exceptional circumstances (traffic, broken down trains or cars, ash clouds…) we promise to let you know beforehand, and advise you of our new estimated arrival time

  2. We promise to be prompt in quoting

    3. We promise to provide an estimate for the work with full costing and explanation within 3 working days of visiting you, or we’ll be in touch to let you know the reason for any delay (which can happen if you’ve requested bathroom tiles made to order in Puglia, Italy in August).

  3. We promise to explain

    4. We promise to explain, in plain English, what works we’ll carry out, how long we expect them to take, and implications for you / your home (disruption, access etc).

  4. We promise to be clean

    5. We promise to clean up after ourselves and keep your home as tidy and clean as possible whilst we are in it

  5. We promise to be nice!

    6. We promise not to treat you as if you’re stupid just because you don’t have your Diploma in Unvented Hot Water Storage Systems

  6. We promise we’ll ask you first

    7. We promise to ask you first if its OK, if one of our Home Janes ever need the help of a man for a particular project, because, well, sometimes, we come across great male carpenters, or heavy lifters, for instance (we don’t actually have anything against the male species, but we know that some of you prefer only to have women in your home, and that is, clearly, why we’re here)

  7. We promise no nasty surprises

    8. We promise to keep you informed throughout the project of anything that may result in a change in the time it’ll take us, the equipment or parts we’ll need or the cost to you, before progressing, or as soon as possible if the change is urgent (like an electrician finds a fault that needs fixing as it’s dangerous – or because we can’t get hold of you and we need to buy a small £4 bag of grouting to complete your tiling work in your bathroom as part of your large bathroom refit project and you’re not answering your calls)

  8. We promise we want you to love us!

    9. We promise that we will do everything we can to complete the works to a high standard, and that it’s aim that our work with you will leave you wanting to work with us again and telling all of your friends that you’d definitely recommend us.

  9. We promise not to kiss you

    10. We promise not to patronise you or pinch your bum or shout ‘hello darlin” from across the street.

  10. We promise to listen

    11. And finally, we promise to listen to your concerns, feedback or suggestions to make us better. We aren’t perfect. But we will do everything we can to try.
