    Locally we do have been a tremendous help in supporting my parents with house cleaning and small maintenance type jobs. Helena and Damien have been very approachable, flexible and constructive and their teams have been incredibly friendly, hardworking and professional. I am really pleased with the relationship that has developed with the company and the support they are giving my family. I would recommend them without hesitation.

    I cannot rate Locally We Do highly enough. My mum was initially sceptical about someone coming into her home but now she absolutely loves their visit and looks forward to them. They have helped in several areas each time they have been excellent, professional, kind, caring, they are a massive support to both myself and my mum.

    Helena & Damian stepped into the breach at the really difficult time of lockdown and through covid19. At all times they were very thoughtful, caring and professional in their help and going out of their way to accommodate my needs. They stayed in touch by phone and I do not hesitate to recommend their company.

    My 100 year old mother has daily visits from Helena and we have noticed a huge improvement in mother’s well being, especially as we live 170 miles away.
    The team member always reports after each visit and they will do whatever is needed.
    They went out of their way to FaceTime mother’s birthday so we were part of the event. Nothing seems too much for them. We feel hugely grateful to them.

    My first job that I had done by this firm was my back garden. All dug out, little raised walled area put in, new slabs, artificial turf, drainage, purple slate. It was a total garden transformation. The guys really worked hard during days of downpours which made the job harder for them. They did a fabulous job and I highly recommend them.

    A couple of months ago, I contacted them again for a big paint job - front doorway, dining room, up the stairs and the landing. All doors done as well. These are really lovely people who go out of their way to complete the job to satisfaction. I would not hesitate to use them again.

    Being a pensioner, it is important to have people in your home that you can trust. They are a highly committed company who deliver a professional service to their customers. Thank you so much Damian and all the team for all the work you have done for me.

    Damian and Helena's team have been have been helping my Stepmum & Dad in Bramcote over the past few months. Everyone is extremely dedicated, caring and hardworking. They are also very adaptable, not only carrying out deep cleaning but also ironing, taking Stepmum to the local shops and even putting food out for the birds, which means so much to her. Unlike other home help agencies, communication has been excellent and Helena always gives a weekly update of what has been achieved. Having Locally We Do provide such a high quality service has given our family peace of mind as we do not live locally ourselves. We would highly recommend them.

    We have been using Locally We Do for over a year now, for home and garden maintainence, and more recently, some personal care for my elderly Mother.
    They have always been excellent, professional but vet caring. Nothing is too much trouble for them to arrange, and they've given me advise about other locals services that might be of interest, eg/ social clubs for elderly.
    I have found their work to be consistently of the highest standards, and feel I can totally trust them all with caring for Mums many needs.
    I get a report back after each home visit, which is very reassuring as I do not live locally to my Mum.
    They are supportive, very kind, thoughtful, efficient, and I would definitely recommend them without any doubt. It is difficult to know where to turn for trustworthy help sometimes, but Damian and Helena and their team are always their for you.

    A company to trust with working with the elderly and disabled is rare these days and it is with the best of intentions that I can recommend them.
    Damian and Ray worked on my 90yrs old dads garden on a as and when type basis keeping it safe in between visits and completed it to a very good standard.
    Thanks

    I am very glad to have met Damian and Helena, who were recommended by a good friend for companionship for my Dad. Helena is warm and enthusiastic, she has empathy and is respectful and diplomatic. She is a problem solver and has innitiative, finding interesting and appropriate things to do. She adapts to changing situations and I've never seen her rattled by anything, even when her car was well stuck in the snow.

    Damian and Helena and their team arrived and did an efficient and professional job on several high and difficult hedges in my garden. They and their team are warm and friendly, doing exactly what their website claims.

    Damian and Helena have been most helpful.Everything is done to our satisfaction, they are very sympathetic towards my elderly parents, kind and energetic. We cannot fault them.
    They are polite, professional and fulfill all our parents needs. The standard of work is very high but, more importantly for us, they continually keep us informed of their progress and are always ready and willing to discuss any queries. We continue to use Locally We Do as this enables our parents to live independently. It is a pleasure to do business with them and we would certainly not hesitate to recommend this company.

    What a find!! I needed some help with my garden so I contacted Damian and Helena. Professional, caring and thoughtful. Couldn't do enough to put my ideas into practice. Researched plants and were delightful to work with. Can't praise them enough. I would recommend them without hesitation. I just wish I lived nearer so I could employ them regularly. You won't be disappointed.

    Damien gave me a very competitive quote and I was very impressed by his professionalism and by the way he took time to listen to what I wanted which was the bottom of my garden digging up the rubbish taking away and laying membrane and blue slate and also cutting the grass and hedges. He asked me lots of questions to make sure he got all the details of my requirements and he made some useful suggestions from his previous experience which we incorporated into the final brief.

    Damien and his team started promptly on the agreed date and their work was of an exceptionally high standard. Damien made sure he managed the project well and he communicated with us regularly to make sure he was doing the garden to a high standard which was agreeable to us both.

    Damien was very adaptable with excellent communication skills with me all summer.

    Damien also noticed a wasp nest in my garden shed and got on the phone to his friend in who came up and sorted it out for me.

    I am particularly impressed by the high standard of work and the attention to detail in the garden and hedges and decking, he cleaned.

    I am very pleased with the front and back garden and how this compliments the neighbours frontages so it all looks in keeping with the wider surroundings.
    Now the job is complete I receive good feedback about the quality of the finished garden.

    I would recommend Damien and the team for their professionalism, their good communication and exceptionally high standard of work. Definitely worth a five star rating 5*.
