Home Care for owners abroad or away

Your Home in Safe Hands While You're Away

Regular inspections, security checks and maintenance for your Somerset home — and a spotless, fresh house waiting for you when you return.

How It Works

Three simple steps to complete peace of mind

  1. 1

    You leave

    We meet, agree a care plan and visit schedule, and you hand us the keys and alarm details.

  2. 2

    We inspect & maintain

    Regular visits inside and out, with a photo report after every visit so you always know your home is fine.

  3. 3

    We prepare for your return

    A deep clean, fresh air and heating on — you come back to a spotless, welcoming home.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often will you visit?

Most owners choose weekly or fortnightly visits. In winter, or for older properties, weekly checks are recommended. We'll agree a schedule that suits your home and your insurer's requirements.

How will I know my home has been checked?

After every visit we send a short report with photos by WhatsApp or email, so you can see your home is safe wherever you are.

What happens if you find a problem?

We contact you immediately with photos, take any urgent steps to limit damage (such as turning off the water), and arrange a tradesperson with your approval.

Do you forward post abroad?

We collect your post on every visit and send you photos of anything important. If you need an item forwarded, we post it to you after your confirmation.

Many home insurers require regular checks on empty homes — can you help?

Yes. Insurers often require an unoccupied home to be inspected at set intervals. We visit on the schedule you need and keep a dated record with photos of each visit. Please check the exact requirements with your insurer.
