Local help · Nailsea, North Somerset
Home checks while you’re away from Nailsea
Ask a local Hometowner to make agreed visual checks, open or close curtains and send you an update after the visit.
What you can book
A specific checklist for an empty home
Tell your Hometowner what you would like them to look at and what to report. A checklist helps make each visit consistent: which rooms can be entered, which curtains to adjust and who to contact if a visible concern is found. Home checks are scheduled visits, not continuous monitoring or an emergency response.
Agreed visual checks
Set out the accessible areas to look at and the visible concerns you would like reported.
Curtains & the visit routine
Leave instructions for opening or closing curtains and any rooms or belongings that should be left alone.
An update while away
Agree what should be included in the message after each visit and how you can be reached if something needs attention.
Included by agreement
Agreed visual checks, opening or closing curtains and reporting visible concerns.
Outside this service
Security patrols, emergency response, technical inspections or guaranteed protection against damage or theft.
Before your visit
- Agree key handover, access and any alarm instructions privately with the Hometowner.
- Leave a short checklist, permitted areas and a contact who can act on any reported concern.
- Check any home-insurance conditions yourself. A Hometown visit does not guarantee that an insurer’s requirements are met.
How to book your visit
Choose the service & time
Set the visit length, choose a Hometowner and pick an available start time. Request one visit, weekly visits or fortnightly visits.
Send your booking request
Create an account or sign in, add the address and task details, then send your request. Your chosen times are reserved while the Hometowner decides.
Get confirmation & keep in touch
The Hometowner must accept before your visit is confirmed. Use account messages to agree the details, then pay the Hometowner directly after the visit.
For weekly and fortnightly bookings, the first four dates must be available. Later visits depend on availability and acceptance. Read the customer terms for booking and cancellation details.
Your questions about holiday home checks
Is this a security or house-sitting service?
No. These are scheduled visual checks. They do not include security patrols, continuous or overnight presence, emergency response or guaranteed protection from damage or theft.
Will someone contact me after each visit?
The service includes a message after the agreed home check. Explain what you would like reported and agree how the Hometowner should contact you about a concern.
Can plants or pets be checked on the same day?
Plant watering and pet visits are separate services with their own tasks and visit lengths. Add the services you need, choose available times and agree access and responsibilities in your messages.
Does this satisfy my home-insurance policy?
Check the policy and ask your insurer. Requirements vary, and this service does not certify compliance or provide a technical inspection of your property.
Hometown Nailsea is run by Hometowner Limited. We operate the booking platform; your chosen independent Hometowner provides the service.
