Our Values

Our Values At Spankin Smellin Homes, our work is built on more than just cleaning — it’s built on trust, care and responsibility.

 

Discretion & Respect

Many of the environments we work in are sensitive. Whether supporting a landlord, business owner or private family, we handle every situation calmly, confidentially and without judgement.

 

Professional Standards

We are fully insured, DBS-checked and trained in specialist biohazard procedures. We follow strict health and safety protocols, use appropriate PPE, and ensure compliant waste disposal in line with current regulations.

 

Reliability

When clients call us, they often need prompt, dependable support. We communicate clearly, turn up when we say we will, and complete every job thoroughly.

 

Attention to Detail

From routine cleans to specialist decontamination, we take pride in the small details. A property is not simply “clean” — it is restored, refreshed and ready for safe use.

 

Family-Run, Community-Focused

As a family-run business based in Exmouth, we care deeply about our reputation and the people we serve. We are proud to support landlords, letting agents, holiday let owners and local businesses across Exmouth and surrounding areas.
