Homes in East City and Ashburnham

Ashburnham was its own village before it became part of Peterborough, and you can still feel it. The streets near Hunter Street East have small shops and cafés, older frame and brick houses, and modest storey-and-a-half homes on narrow lots. Further out, toward the Lift Lock and the Trent-Severn Waterway, there are post-war bungalows and a few newer infill houses.

Many of these homes have been in the same family for decades, and many others have just changed hands to young buyers drawn by the walkable streets and the water. Either way, the houses tend to have small rooms, steep stairs, older bathrooms with lots of grout, and basements that have seen a few floods over the years.

What We Clean Most Here

A deep reset is the most common first booking in East City. New owners want a clean start in a house someone else lived in for thirty years; long-time owners want to catch up after a hard winter. After that, most switch to regular visits every two weeks or monthly.

Older bathrooms get extra attention: tile and grout, the base of the toilet, the edges of an old tub. They clean up far better than people expect.

How Often People Here Book

A typical pattern: a deep reset when someone moves in or after winter, then visits every two weeks. Small bungalows and storey-and-a-half houses often go monthly once they're caught up. One example: a 1940s house near Little Lake with one bathroom and a cat, reset in March, then cleaned every other Monday morning.

Questions From East City

Can you get old grout clean, or does it need replacing?

Often it just needs a proper scrub. We'll get it as clean as it will go on the first deep clean, and you'll be able to judge whether it needs regrouting after that.

Do you clean basements?

Yes, finished basements are part of the house. Unfinished storage areas are usually a sweep and a quick tidy unless you ask for more.
