Extra Help is an award winning home help franchise - originally set up to respond to the needs of home help for elderly people who were still living independently and needed a helping hand. We recognised that many elderly people didn’t necessarily need a full-time or live-in carer, but having help with domestic tasks could significantly prolong the time that they were able to stay in their own homes. And sometimes, it’s just about providing company; a friendly smile and a small chat which could mean the world to someone who lives alone. Since launching, we have expanded our range of services to include parent’s help and domestic cleaning services. This enables us to provide ad-hoc or regular assistance to new and working parents, working professionals and just about anyone who needs us. We can help with all sorts of domestic tasks and nothing is too much trouble. Our experienced, trustworthy and fully reference-checked home-helpers are always on hand with a friendly smile to help with a diverse range of everyday jobs, from cleaning to gardening, shopping and meal preparation. We aim to always provide you with the same home-helper but, if this is ever not possible, we’ll always honour our commitment to you and send an alternative. Our charges are simple, straightforward and affordable so that clients can easily keep control of their home-help budgets. We can provide you with a one-off, occasional or regular home-helper to meet your requirements, and our comprehensive range of services means that you only ever need one point of contact for all your domestic needs. So no more time wasted talking to different companies to source a cleaner, gardener, dog-walker, senior sitter or driver – simply talk to Extra Help and let us give you the helping hand you need. We are accredited by the British Franchise Association and won the BFA HSBC Lifestyle Franchise Award in 2023, we have over 30 branches nationwide currently - please mention your local branch in the review!

I like how this company offers a bespoke service for people who are genuinely struggling. Baz who completed the work for me was non-judgemental, with a warm manner and completed the work to a tight deadline.

From the moment I contacted Alexandra at Extra Help to inquire about a cleaner, the service has been excellent- Alexandra took time to find out what I needed and then went on to match a suitable cleaner to our situation.
Our cleaner Maria is always punctual, very friendly and works very hard. I am happy with the clean every time.
Overall very happy and would highly recommend.

The girls ask what needs doing and will do anything and they do everything well. The girls are very thorough when cleaning even moving furniture and going further than I expected. They emptied my bins even taking the rubbish down to the back steps to the bins in the lane. They have helped me while I have been recovering from a hip operation.

The lady, Linda, that comes to assist my father is amazing. She is reliable and friendly and has become very special to our family. She offers companionship along with household duties and goes above and beyond to ensure his wellbeing.

I have nothing but nice things to say.
I was looking for a long time, trying to find someone that would be able to do what I needed at a reasonable price.
Alexandra from Extra Help was extremely helpful although I was asking for fewer hours than they would do normally.
Communication is really good and Sandra who visited has been excellent.
If you are thinking about any help you might need, give Extra Help a ring.

It was by pure chance I came this service and I am truly thankful I did.
My mum is 90 and in past any help she's had they have stolen from her, so both very apprensive about this.
It took alot to convince my mum but she was willing to try.
She met a lady called Katy, who was the manager. After a long meeting and chat about her fears, anxiety and trust issues, Katy offered to be her person to provide the service.
From this day, Katy has been excellent, her and my mum.have built-up a good relationship. Katy always checks in to see what needs doing, she is punctual, she delivers a high standard. She is respectful of mums environment. She communicates with me after each visit.Her rates are very reasonable and its changed my life and my mums.
I would highly recommended her services, as from our experience she is very good. She will vet carefully any new recruits, which is important, DBS checking is mandatory again important.
Thanks Katy for everything.

Extra Help South Hams (Torbay) have been a real life-line in helping to care for my elderly mother. Sarah and her team (especially Kerry), provide daily support and companionship whilst also helping with chores and ensuring my mother is able to remain in and look after her own home. Sarah provides an excellent service, always friendly whilst being professional. They always go the extra mile and I would recommend then to anyone in a similar position. Thank you!

Extra Help Huntingdonshire has been invaluable to me over the past 2 years, providing home support services, that has taken considerable pressure off me.
As a carer for a family member I am now able to concentrate on caring requirements in the knowledge that Caroline and her team are supporting me.
I have found Extra Help Huntingdonshire very professional, reliable and flexible both in the services provided and with exceptional customer service.

I find Samantha really helpful and efficient — she always goes the extra mile for me. I definitely recommend this company!

Have emailed this company twice for info on buying into their franchise and never received a reply. Obviously my money isnt good enough or my reliability. ... I have 25 years experience in all aspects of the caresector but obviously not enough to not receive a reply.
