About Bearded

A Birmingham service business built around being genuinely useful.

Bearded started with housekeeping and is growing into a family of practical services for homes and businesses across Birmingham.

Hi, I'm Peter.

Before Bearded Housekeeping, I built and ran Cornish Changeovers, a high-end holiday-let housekeeping business in Cornwall. At its peak the operation included a substantial team of employees and self-employed contractors.

I eventually sold the business because the part I enjoyed most wasn't sitting behind a desk — it was the practical work, solving problems and looking after customers.

Back in Birmingham, Bearded Housekeeping began as a deliberately personal service. As customers increasingly asked for help with repairs, maintenance and plants, the idea naturally grew into three connected brands: Housekeeping, Handyman and Plantcare.

The standard

Notice it. Sort it. Do it properly.

That mentality runs through all three brands. Bearded is about being useful, dependable and easy to have around — while maintaining the high standards you'd expect from a professional service.

Proudly gay-owned

Professional service. Completely judgement-free.

The Bearded Collective is a gay-owned Birmingham business with a strong connection to the LGBT+ community. Everyone is welcome. Whoever you are and whoever you love, you can expect friendly, respectful and professional service in your home or workplace.
