Fantastic Services

UK booking platform for cleaning, gardening, repairs, and other home or commercial services by service area.

About Fantastic Services

Fantastic Services began in London in 2009 after Rune Sovndahl, who needed a cleaner, met Anton Skarlatov, who ran a cleaning business. That specific need led to a platform for booking domestic and maintenance work. The offering now spans homes and businesses in different parts of the United Kingdom, though availability depends on the postal code.

Home cleaning is only part of the catalog. It includes office cleaning, gardening, moving and storage, plumbing, heating, appliance repairs, electrical work, pest control, painting, waste removal, and locksmith services. Each job needs a different professional and scope; bringing them onto one website makes it easier to compare needs without treating every callout as the same task.

The booking process starts with details of the work, location, date, and time. The platform displays prices or availability according to the service and lets customers manage existing appointments, repeat jobs, or reschedule through an account. This structure is particularly useful when combining tasks normally booked separately, such as a deep clean and garden maintenance.

Fantastic Services also works with commercial clients. Its site separates business quote requests from domestic bookings and describes services for offices and properties. That distinction prevents a recurring job for a company from being mistaken for a one-time home visit with the same terms.

The founders describe the company’s beginnings as a small operation with two computers and a shared phone. Later expansion brought in specialists and a network of service providers. The company also offers a Fantastic Club membership program, training and opportunities for people providing services, and a franchise model.

Readers can start by identifying the precise service they need: a boiler technician, electrician, and moving crew do different work. A request should describe the job and property so the system can present relevant options. A second phone line is designated for business customers, while the main domestic contact handles another kind of booking.

Fantastic Services is most useful for bringing different trades under a common booking and management process. A helpful guide still has to distinguish the particular services, service areas, and terms of each booking. Its offering is clearest as a platform coordinating professionals rather than a company devoted only to cleaning houses.
