Written by Milan Geerling


We understand how frustrating it can be when a cleaning appointment doesn't go as planned.

Whether your service provider is running late, didn't arrive, or had to cancel your appointment, we'll help you understand what to expect and what you can do next.


⏰ If your service provider is running late

Sometimes unexpected delays happen.

We recommend waiting a short while and checking your messages in case your service provider has contacted you with an update.

If you haven't heard from them and they're significantly delayed, you can contact the provider using the chat in your Helpling account.


🚫 If your service provider didn't arrive

If your scheduled appointment has started and your service provider hasn’t arrived or contacted you, please report the issue through the Service Portal.

Select the case “My cleaner is not here / did not show up” and follow the steps to submit your report.

If you need help using the Service Portal, see How Can I Report a Problem?


📅 If your service provider cancelled the appointment

If your service provider cancelled your appointment via the Helpling platform, you'll be notified by email.

Depending on your booking, you'll be able to:

  • Book a new appointment

  • Reschedule your cleaning

  • Contact your service provider if needed

If you need further assistance, our Support team is happy to help.


💡 Good to know

If your appointment is affected by a delay, cancellation, or no-show, it's always best to report the issue as soon as possible. This allows us to review the situation and assist you more quickly.
