Where we work
Serving families & businesses across London
Good to know
Your questions, answered
The things families and businesses most often ask us — answered honestly.
How do I get started with Gentility?
It's simple. Tell us what you need through a quick online enquiry or a friendly phone call, and we'll listen carefully. We then match you with vetted, suitable people — and for many jobs we'll arrange a free home visit first so we fully understand your needs. You meet and approve anyone before anything begins.
How quickly can support start?
For many services we can arrange an introduction within a few days. Urgent respite and care cover can often be arranged sooner — call us and we'll do our best to help quickly.
Which areas do you cover?
We cover London and Bedfordshire — from Lambeth, Croydon and Bromley to Kingston, Sutton, Redbridge and Luton, and many more. Tell us your postcode and we'll confirm availability, or see our Areas page for the boroughs and neighbourhoods we serve.
Can I change or cancel my support?
Of course. Life changes, and your support should flex with it. Just talk to us — we'll adjust the schedule, arrange a replacement, or pause things whenever you need.
How much does it cost?
Every situation is different, so rather than list fixed prices we give you a clear, tailored quote once we understand exactly what you need — sometimes after a quick home visit. That way there are no surprises, and you only pay for what genuinely helps.
Why don't you show prices on the website?
Because honest pricing depends on your specific needs — the type of support, how often, where you are and sometimes an on-site assessment. A one-size-fits-all price would either over- or under-charge you. We'd rather understand your situation first and give you an accurate, fair quote.
