Sophie’s Professional Cleaning Service in Craghead – County Durham
Location: Craghead, County Durham
Service: Deep Clean Following Family Bereavement
Company: Sophie’s Cleaning Company
Background & Circumstances
Mr. Peter Shaw contacted Sophie’s Cleaning Company under emotionally delicate circumstances. His mother, a lifelong Craghead resident, had recently passed away. Peter had inherited the family’s 2-bedroom bungalow, and before preparing it for potential sale or rent, he wanted the property to be given a respectful, thorough deep clean.
The home had not been professionally cleaned in several years. Although tidy, it contained surface-level dirt, dust build-up, and areas of neglect — particularly in the kitchen and bathroom. Peter specifically requested a team that would approach the job with sensitivity and care, as the home held strong sentimental value.
Scope of Cleaning Work
Our two-person cleaning team arrived at 9:00 AM, equipped with eco-friendly, non-invasive products designed for use in older properties. The cleaning took approximately 5.5 hours, and extra care was taken to preserve family photographs, keepsakes, and furniture.

- Deep dusting of wardrobes, skirting boards, and under the beds

✅ Outcome
The clean left the property in a calm, dignified condition — free from dust and odours, but with its character and warmth preserved. Mr. Shaw noted how the home now felt “lived in, but loved,” and said it gave him peace of mind as he decided on next steps. He appreciated the quiet professionalism of the team, and the extra time they took with family items.
Customer Testimonial
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Sophie’s Cleaning Company handled everything with care and respect. I was honestly nervous about letting anyone into the house so soon after losing my mum, but Sophie and her team treated the place like it was their own. It wasn’t just clean — it felt peaceful. They were thoughtful, kind, and did a fantastic job. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone in Craghead.”
