Real Leicester Examples

Example 1: Law Office (Leicester City Centre, 1,800 sq ft)

Fantastic Services: £24/hour x 3 hours x 3 times/week = £864/month. Different contractor each visit, quality varies, platform fees included.

VPS Ltd: Fixed £680/month for 3 cleans/week. Same team every visit, consistent quality, direct communication.

Savings: £184/month = £2,208/year + consistency advantage

Example 2: Café Deep Clean (Hinckley)

Fantastic Services: £340 deep clean, assigned contractor may not have food business experience, cleaning only, no pest control.

VPS Ltd: £280 deep clean + £100 pest inspection = £380 total. 10+ years hospitality experience, integrated pest control, health inspection ready.

Difference: Similar price, but hospitality expertise + pest control integration

Example 3: Serviced Accommodation Regular Cleaning (Coalville)

Fantastic Services: £22/hour x 2 hours = £44 per clean. Different contractors, inconsistent standards, no property coordination, platform booking required each time.

VPS Ltd: £40 per clean, same team, hospitality standards, coordinate through Full House Property Group, standing schedule.

The Problems With Each

Fantastic Services' Weaknesses

• Platform fees make it 15-20% more expensive

• Contractor lottery - quality varies wildly

• Different contractor each visit is common

• Contractors do multiple services - not cleaning specialists

• No pest control integration

• Platform middleman between you and actual cleaner

• Hourly pricing uncertainty

• Commercial cleaning is just one of many services contractors offer

VPS Ltd's Weaknesses

• Leicester/Midlands only

• No app-based instant booking (though quotes are fast)

• Can't book multiple different services through one platform

• Smaller team than national platform network

When to Choose Fantastic Services

Choose Fantastic Services if:

• You value app-based booking convenience above all else

• You need multiple different services (cleaning + handyman + gardening) through one platform

• You have sites across multiple UK cities

• You don't mind different contractors each visit

• Consistency isn't critical for your needs

When to Choose VPS Ltd

Choose VPS Ltd if:

• You want to save 15-20%

• Consistency matters - you want the same team every visit

• You need commercial cleaning expertise, not platform contractors

• You want integrated cleaning + pest control

• You prefer direct relationships over platform middlemen

• You're managing serviced accommodation, restaurants, hospitality, or healthcare

• Fixed pricing is more important than app convenience

• Your property is in Leicester/Midlands

The Platform Problem

Here's what most people don't understand about Fantastic Services: it's a platform, not a cleaning company. That means:

• You're paying platform fees on top of contractor costs

• The contractor you get is whoever's available on the platform

• That contractor does cleaning, handyman work, gardening - they're generalists

• Quality varies wildly depending on which contractor you're assigned

• Next visit, you'll likely get a different contractor

• The platform sits between you and the actual cleaner

VPS Ltd is a cleaning company. Direct service. Same team. Commercial specialists. No platform middleman. No generalists doing cleaning as one of many services.

The Consistency Factor

For commercial cleaning, consistency matters:

With Fantastic Services: Contractor A this week, Contractor B next week, Contractor C the week after. Each has different standards, different methods, different reliability. You're constantly explaining your requirements to new people.

With VPS Ltd: Same team every visit. They learn your space, your standards, your preferences. Consistent quality. No re-explaining requirements. They know where everything is and how you want it done.

That consistency is worth more than app convenience for most commercial clients.

Commercial Expertise vs Platform Generalists

Fantastic Services contractors are generalists. They clean offices today, do handyman work tomorrow, garden maintenance next week. Cleaning is one service among many.

VPS Ltd specializes in commercial cleaning and pest control. It's what they do, period. 10+ years Leicester commercial experience. They understand:

• Health and safety compliance

• Commercial hygiene standards

• Minimal business disruption

• Documentation for inspections

• Industry-specific requirements (food businesses, healthcare, hospitality)

Generalists vs specialists. Which do you want cleaning your business?

The Honest Bottom Line

Fantastic Services is convenient if you want app-based booking and don't mind contractor lottery. The platform works well for one-off jobs where consistency doesn't matter.

But for Leicester commercial cleaning with ongoing contracts, you're paying 15-20% extra for platform fees, getting inconsistent contractors, and missing out on commercial expertise and pest control integration.

VPS Ltd delivers consistent commercial cleaning specialists, cheaper pricing, integrated pest control, and direct relationships without platform middlemen.

The question is: do you want app convenience with contractor lottery, or consistent commercial specialists at better prices?

Questions to Ask Yourself

1. Is app booking convenience worth 15-20% extra cost?

2. Does consistency matter for your business?

3. Do you want commercial cleaning specialists or platform generalists?

4. Do you need pest control integration?

5. Is direct communication more valuable than platform middleman?

6. Do you prefer fixed pricing or hourly platform rates?
