Domestic Angels has been named Domestic Cleaning Company of the Year 2026 at the South West England Prestige Awards, recognising the strength of its UK-wide franchise model and the consistency of its home cleaning services.

The award is based not only on submitted material but also on independently sourced evidence, including customer reviews, testimonials, website transparency and social media activity. As a result, winners are selected based on real customer experiences rather than marketing submissions alone.

This latest recognition follows Domestic Angels also being named in the Global 100 Awards 2026, further reflecting the brand’s growing reputation within the domestic services and franchising sector.

Founded in Southbourne, Bournemouth in 2002, Domestic Angels has developed into a nationwide network of locally owned franchise businesses. The model enables independent business owners to deliver professional home cleaning services within their communities, supported by established systems and consistent brand standards.

The award highlights the effectiveness of this approach, demonstrating how locally operated businesses can deliver a reliable and consistent customer experience at scale.

At the core of the business is a focus on trust. Domestic Angels services take place within customers’ homes, often on a long-term, regular basis. The company has built its reputation on reliability, consistency and care, delivered by local teams who understand the communities they serve.

Founder Sam Acton said: “For us, this award reflects what is happening every week in customers’ homes across the country. When someone allows a cleaner into their home, that trust is earned through reliability, consistency and care. What makes this recognition meaningful is that it’s based on real customer experiences. While the award carries the Domestic Angels name, it belongs to our franchise owners, their teams and the customers who place their trust in us.”

The strength of the model can be seen in the growth of individual franchise owners. Clare Waldron, for example, has expanded her Domestic Angels business to the point of investing in a second territory, reflecting both demand for the service and the scalability of the model.

With demand for regular home cleaning services continuing to grow, Domestic Angels is now expanding its franchise network across new UK territories, creating opportunities for individuals to build their own business with the support of an established national brand.

Domestic Angels’ franchise structure is designed to support sustainable, locally focused growth, enabling business owners to build teams, create employment opportunities and deliver essential services within their communities.
