TIMELY HOME HELP LOUGHBOROUGH
A Local Family Business
Hi my name is Jules and this is my wife Maria. We run our family business together and we are dedicated giving you the best home help Loughborough has to offer. We aspire that you or your loved ones receive the highest quality care possible.
We provide excellent home help solutions to a wide range of clients' needs, serving the Loughborough and Shepshed area. Whether you need assistance with daily tasks, are looking for companionship, or need personal assistance, we are here to help.
We are committed to go above and beyond to ensure you get the best home help available.
HOME HELP WITH INTEGRITY
For All Your Home Help Needs
HOME HELP
Personalised to You
Maria and I endeavour to meet your needs around the home, but personalised to you. It could be anything from hanging out the washing to helping you sort through your filing system, walking your dog or perhaps you fancy a trip out? We always like to meet our clients before we do any work for a no obligation consultation so that we can tailor a plan that works for you. Call us now!
COMPANIONSHIP
Friendly and Genuine
At the heart of all our work is forming genuine friendships with our clients. We really enjoy meeting people and hearing their amazing stories. We recognise that sometimes life circumstances don't always allow people to fully benefit from companionship and a listening ear. So, whether it's a trip out, an activity or simply a cuppa with some company we'd love to be there for you.
SHOPPING & ERRAND RUNS
Meeting Practical Needs
We don't just provide help around the home, we've thought about some practicalities outside also. Maybe you'd like some help with your shopping or perhaps you need something dropping off at the post office? We can pick you up at home and accompany you or if you just want to send us on an errand run we'd be pleased to help.
PERSONAL ASSISTANCE
A Helping Hand For a Fuller Life
We love people and enjoy our work! Each client brings something different, keeping it interesting. For example, we have a client with cerebral palsy that we drive to activities like the cinema or country homes, providing a steady arm for walking. Other examples include helping the elderly enjoy a walk, going out for a coffee, or enjoying an activity like snooker. Enhancing your or your loved one’s quality of life makes for a satisfying day’s work!
RESPITE CARE
Recharge with Peace of Mind
We understand the need for a break. Our respite care service offers carers a weekly oasis. With experience in dementia, COPD, Alzheimer’s, and more, we provide compassionate care for your loved ones. This gives you peace of mind to recharge and take care of yourself, knowing your loved one is in good hands. Enjoy your time off to relax, run errands, or take a moment for yourself.
MEAL PREPARATION
Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Sometimes our clients appreciate the extra help we provide in preparing meals. Maria and I will cook whatever you like and prepare it with the same love we would have for our own family. We'll even do the dishes after and tidy up your kitchen before we leave. If we can assist your daily routine, then that gives us great satisfaction whilst enabling you to focus on what matters most.
ACCOMPANIED VISITS
Get to Your Appointments on Time
Do you need to go to a doctor’s or dentist appointment? We recognise that sometimes these events can be stressful enough! So, we’ll get you there on time and wait with you, providing support and companionship throughout. Or perhaps you need a prescription picking up? No problem, we’ll collect it for you and ensure you have everything you need. We're here to make things easier and simplify life, if at all possible!
HOUSEKEEPING / HOUSEHOLD CHORES
Ensuring You Enjoy Your Home More
Maria loves keeping a tidy home, so she knows what it takes to be an excellent housekeeper. We’ll treat your home the same. Housekeeping is more than cleaning; it’s about creating a comfortable, organised space. Whether you need help with laundry, stocking food, watering plants, or polishing furniture, we’re here to help. We can even work with your existing cleaner to ensure everything is just right.
HOME MANAGEMENT / ADMINISTRATION
Freeing up Your Time
Sometimes our clients need help with administrative tasks or managing household affairs to enjoy more time doing what they love. Whether it’s filing documents, booking a flight, or assisting with your diary, you can rely on us to handle these tasks with care and professionalism. Jules is also handy with IT issues, ensuring everything runs smoothly. Let us take care of the details, so you can focus on the things that matter most.
WHY CHOOSE US?
Service You Can Trust
As a husband and wife team we can ensure a consistent quality of service that few can rival. As you'd expect from a reputable business we are fully insured for all our services and are DBS checked.
However, many people say the best advertising is word of mouth! That's what really makes us stand out from the crowd. Check out our testimonials and see what our clients say about us.
OUR RATES
We know that one of the first questions you have when considering home help is, “How much will it cost?” We understand that finding the right care for yourself or a loved one can be overwhelming, especially when other care providers make their pricing complicated and hard to understand or don't reveal their prices at all before meeting you. Therefore, we believe in keeping our rates clear and competitive. Below is our pricing for the services we provide:
Standard Rate - Weekdays 9am to 5pm
-
Hourly Rate: £18 (minimum 1 hour call)
Unsociable Hours Rate - Weekdays before 9am and after 5pm and Weekends
-
Hourly Rate: £22 (minimum 1 hour call)
Additional Charges
-
Bank Holidays: charged at double time
-
Travel Charge: 30p per mile (applies if we take you out in the car).
-
Additional Expenses: If we make any purchases on your behalf or incur any extra costs (e.g., buying groceries, going out for coffee, parking charges), these will be added to your bill.
Discounts
We offer discounts for clients who share their care time with others:
-
25% off when sharing with one other client.
-
35% off when sharing with two other clients.
If cost is a concern, our discounts might be a great option for you. Sharing care time with others can significantly reduce your expenses while still receiving the high-quality care you need. Plus, it offers the added benefit of meeting new people and potentially making new friends, making your care experience even more enjoyable.
Please Note: We do not provide personal care services. However, we encourage you to talk to us anyway, as we may still be able to help through one of our other businesses.
We offer a free, no-obligation consultation to discuss your specific needs, ensure we’re a good fit for you, and tailor a plan that works best for you. We believe in meeting you first to make sure we understand your requirements fully before starting any work. We even offer a free first booking with no strings attached!

TESTIMONIALS
Don't just take our word for it! Here's what some our clients say about us.
"Jules and Maria have made a big difference to my life. I often feel very lonely and get anxious, especially in the evenings. The companionship offered is something I look forward to, and the visits are enjoyable. They are kind and caring people. And now I even enjoy sitting and watching football on TV with Jules which is an unbelievable experience for me."
Laurie Wooton, Loughborough
"Lovely people. Trustworthy, compassionate, understanding, cheerful, encouraging, helpful, punctual team. At a difficult time in my life they helped me de-clutter and clean my house. Sensitive to my feelings and stress level, they did a fabulous job. I can thoroughly recommend their services."
Maria Nute, Loughborough
"Maria and Jules helped my mum in the last few months of her life and I cannot recommend them highly enough. I was able to depend upon Maria and without her wonderful support both my mother and myself would have struggled to meet the challenges we faced at such a difficult time."
Helen Smith, Cropston
"My wife was suffering with dementia for 10 years and the latter 3 years of that period became the most challenging. Maria enabled me to go to work without worrying. Maria is not just a caring, trustworthy person, but thorough, doing a wonderful job, but she went far beyond the call of duty. Maria is a very capable likeable person. I would recommend her to anyone."
Andy Webb, Loughborough
