Sophie’s Professional Cleaning Service in Cotherstone – County Durham
Location: Cotherstone, County Durham
Service: Spring Deep Clean (One-Off)
Company: Sophie’s Cleaning Company
Background & Circumstances
Mrs. Helen Foster, a retired librarian, lives in a charming stone-built cottage on the edge of Cotherstone, a picturesque village in the Teesdale countryside. With the arrival of spring — and plans to host her extended family over Easter — Helen decided it was time for a top-to-bottom deep clean of her home.
While she maintains the property well year-round, the winter months had taken their toll. Coal dust from the open fire, damp corners in the bathroom, and the usual signs of everyday living in a rural setting had started to build up. Helen wanted the house to feel fresh, bright, and guest-ready, but knew she needed professional help to reach the nooks and crannies.
She reached out to Sophie’s Cleaning Company after reading glowing reviews in a local community newsletter and scheduled a one-off deep clean.
Scope of Cleaning Work
Our two-person team arrived on a crisp spring morning with eco-friendly, non-toxic products ideal for older homes and natural stone surfaces. Over the course of 6 hours, the team worked through each room methodically, paying special attention to heritage features and well-used areas.

✅ Outcome
Mrs. Foster was overjoyed with the results. Her home looked radiant and felt lighter, with every room smelling fresh and looking spotless. She was especially pleased with how clean and bright the stone kitchen floor appeared — and relieved to see the bathroom tiles free of any lingering damp.
With just a few days until her family arrived, Helen said the clean gave her confidence to focus on entertaining and enjoying their visit, rather than worrying about chores.
Customer Testimonial
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I couldn’t be more pleased with the work Sophie’s team did. My cottage feels refreshed, brighter, and like new again — without losing any of its character. They were careful, respectful of my old furniture, and worked tirelessly all day. I’ve already recommended them to two friends in the village. It’s lovely to have a cleaning company you can completely trust.”
