About Us

Barbara Freeman

Upstairs  Downstairs Housekeepers, founded by Barbara Freeman and Kay Hassel in 2005, started out as a two woman domestic cleaning business and has gone from strength to strength growing into a complete housekeeping company. After employing some local ladies the team has now expanded to fourteen members of staff and we have recently moved into a shop premise in Leg o' Mutton.  
        
Here at Upstairs Downstairs we place special emphasis on ensuring our customers receive reliable, high standard and professional work. However we also make sure our staff are well looked after by offering up to date training, paid holidays and a friendly working environment.

We believe that is this combination of customer and staff care that encourages people to stay happily with us for years.

Please read some of our testimonials:

“Dear Barbara and team, Can I just say a huge thank you for the fabulous ironing rescue! So timely and SO appreciated. Beautifully Ironed!” Lesley (The Old Dairy, Yelverton)

“To Barbara and all the ladies at Upstairs Downstairs, Thank you so much for all of your help following my recent operation. Everyone who came to help me was lovely, always helpful and you all made my recovery from surgery so much easier. With very best wishes J.S.”

"Barbara and her team came along just in time, at first it was just a weekly clean through - but as Mum's needs increased it soon became several times a day to provide essential help. Barbara enabled Mum to stay in her own home so much longer than otherwise, we don't know what we would have done without them."

"Thursday is my favourite day of the week, when I come home from work to a beautifully clean house". Mrs J
