Yes, strong volume market. Boyne Valley UNESCO World Heritage Site (Newgrange, Knowth, Dowth) plus Battle of the Boyne 1690 heritage tourism drive strong Airbnb yield in walled-town stock and coastal cottages. Quote per-turnover (€50-€100 for 2-bed, €80-€140 for 3-4 bed) at host portfolio rates. Saturday-Sunday changeover is peak demand window.
€10-€20/sqm/year for nightly cleaning of standard office space. Drogheda Port, Cement Roadstone Holdings, Scotch Hall and West Street commercial drive demand. Annual contracts at 10-15% discount with quarterly invoicing. Boyne Valley hotels (D Hotel, Scholars Townhouse) and coastal Bettystown hotels drive premium hospitality contracts.
Yes, volume market. Drogheda's role as Ireland's largest town and major Dublin commuter belt drives strong rental sector turnover. Quote end-of-tenancy (€180-€420 for 2-3 bed apartment, €280-€550 for 3-4 bed house) at letting-agent portfolio rates. Bettystown and Laytown rentals sit in Meath County Council jurisdiction; factor in cross-boundary travel.
Hourly rates are €20 to €44 in the US, £15-35 in the UK, A€24-60 in Australia, R80-250 in South Africa, and C€20-55 in Canada. Most experienced cleaners prefer fixed-price by home size because hourly invites time-padding disputes.
By the job for standard, deep, or end-of-tenancy cleans where the scope is known. By the hour only for ad-hoc tidying where the customer wants to direct work in real-time. Fixed-price protects both sides.
Most cleaners bring their own basic supplies (vacuum, mop, microfibre, eco-friendly products). Some hourly bookings use customer supplies. Always confirm on the quote so there is no on-arrival argument.
Two or three for regular weekly bookings. Pricing is fairly consistent in any one area. The bigger variables are insurance, vetting, and whether the same cleaner attends every visit (better) or a rotating team (cheaper but variable).
Yes. Public liability insurance covers breakages and damage; workers comp covers injury on your property. Hire only insured cleaners; the cost of an uninsured cleaner damaging a hardwood floor or a flat-screen TV wipes out years of savings.
