Service Detail

The HomeMinders package includes four core services:

    Home Reports
    Alarm System Management
    Key Holding.

In addition we are pleased to provide a comprehensive range of additional services which clients can add to the core services to design their own tailored package to meet individual requirements.

1. Home Visits (core service)
HomeMinders will visit your home
regularly to check that all is safe, secure and watertight.  In addition to any specific checks that you may request, we will attend to light bulbs (internally and externally), water pot plants, plumbing (run the taps, flush WCs and check drains) etc and make sure that gutters are free flowing.

HomeMinders will also visit your home to examine any issue raised by you as soon as practically possible.  Similarly, in the event that you unexpectedly need to leave the property, HomeMinders will visit your home at the earliest possible time to ensure it is properly secured.

2. Home Reports (core service)
Following each visit to your home, your HomeMinders consultant will provide you with a report outlining the details of the visit, highlighting any areas of concern.  Photographs can be used to help illustrate problems identified, with quote
preparation should this be necessary.

3. Alarm System Management (core service)
As your key holder, HomeMinders will be the primary contact for your alarm company should the alarm be triggered.  We will liaise with them should the alarm need to be re-set and the property re-secured.  In addition, HomeMinders will perform the recommended burglar alarm test on your behalf, the outcome of which will be included in your Home Report.

Smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors will also be tested.

4. Key Holding (core service)
HomeMinders will provide a secure key holding service for your home, vehicles and post office box.

5. Cleaning and Airing
HomeMinders will ensure that your home is cleaned and aired on a regular basis.  During those times that you take up residence in your home, additional house keeping services can be arranged.

6. Account Payments
HomeMinders offers a centralised household accounts payment service for your convenience.  A monthly summary of accounts paid will be provided with all original invoices retained for your reference.

For clients with pre-paid electricity meters, recharging the meter will be undertaken as part of this service.

7. Home Arrival and Departure Service:
Prior to your arrival, HomeMinders will ensure that your home is ready for immediate occupation.  The geyser/s will be turned on ensuring that you have hot water on arrival.  Beds will be made up with fresh linen and bathrooms will be stocked with fresh towels.  Fridges and freezers will also be turned on.  In addition, HomeMinders can arrange for the fridge and larder to be stocked and flowers ordered.  A childminding service can be arranged if required.  HomeMinders will be happy to make restaurant booking/s on your behalf.

Following your departure, HomeMinders will ensure that your home is cleaned, the geyser turned off and fridges/freezers defrosted and cleaned.  We will also launder the bed linen and towels and arrange any additional laundry requirements.  Finally, we will ensure that the property is once again properly secured in your absence.

8. Gardening Service
Should you have a garden services facility in place, HomeMinders can manage the service provider ensuring they fulfil their contractual requirements.  Alternatively, HomeMinders is geared to provide a full gardening service.

9. Pool Care
Should you have a pool care contract in place, HomeMinders can manage this service provider ensuring they fulfil their contractual requirement.  Alternatively, HomeMinders can provide a comprehensive pool-care service including inspection of pool pumps, filters, heating systems, water quality and chemical levels.
