Sarah Gardner, who helped found Calabash Residential Cleaning, explains what gave her the inspiration;
The emphasis
Having moved my family down from London to West Sussex, we had builders renovating our new home for several months prior to us actually moving in. When the time came, I needed a company that would be able to clean the house quickly, professionally and provide me with a complete package – including specialist requirements such as carpet cleaning and wooden floor polishing (I didn’t have the time to contact lots of different companies for these individual services).
Unable to find a company that could provide me with a complete service, I approached my brother Julian Hill (founder and MD of Calabash Group based in London) who came to my rescue and sent a team down from London.
We soon realised there was a niche in the market for this service, not only here in West Sussex but throughout London and the South East, and that is how I got started. I like to think that my drive, determination and local knowledge combined with the professionalism of our cleaners means that Calabash Residential offers a unique service.

What our customers say
Client feedback
"Just home again to Bumble Cottage. What a lovely surprise when i went inside Close Cottage! Sarah and Gabi did a superb job on that kitchen - and particularly on such a very very hot day. Thank you both very much indeed."
Annemarie, Pulborough, West Sussex"What an excellent cleaning service! I was very impressed with the results, the whole job was carried out so professionally with no fuss. Thank you so much!"
Joe Ballamy, Steyning, West Sussex"I find the Calabash team so caring and professional - they make me feel my home is where their heart is."
Dudley A. Maynard, Steyning, West Sussex"Julie did a great job this morning cleaning our cottage. I did thank her but then had to answer phone so didn’t get to say goodbye. Happy to have her back any time."
Melanie Edge, Old Place/Owl Cottage, West Sussex"Just to say what a pleasure it was to find my home beginning to smile again and feeling far less 'contaminated' by builders when I got back later today. Please also thank Rena for me for cheering it up so much. It feels so much better."
Elizabeth Butler, Castle Cottage, West Sussex"When we sold our house in West Sussex we asked Calabash to clean it from top to bottom. They responded quickly and efficiently. The new owners wrote to us to say thank you for leaving the house so spotless. We still use Calabash to clean our London flat and recommend them highly."
Val Cridland, Interior Designer - London / Sussex"We are delighted with your excellent cleaning services. You and your team of cleaners did a fantastic job - especially when you consider the state our house was in after a year of building works. We have already told people how pleased we are with Calabash's cleaning service."
James Pilkington, West Sussex"I was moving into a large house in Hampshire on the first working day of the year. After the building work was completed I had to have it properly cleaned before the removal firm came in. I contacted Calabash who came to my rescue on Christmas Eve. I recommend them without hesitation."
Mrs Carol Fane, Hampshire"We were moving in to a new home with carpets that were extremely dirty and grimey. Calabash did a fantastic job, very thorough and patient, taking all the extra time needed to clean it. Excellent result and very nice person who wanted the client to be satisfied. Highly recommend their service."
Victoria Appelton-Smith, West Sussex"To find someone honest who can advise and tailor the job to suit our individual needs and then to provide such a high quality service was fantastic!"
