Season 8 - Episode 2 - Aired 10/25/2017
The cleaners are heading to the Welsh hills and Brithdir Hall, a 16th-century, Grade II-listed mansion. It is home to Jeremy, 55, his son Thomas, 15, and Clayton the spaniel. When he inherited it from his grandmother 12 years ago, Brithdir Hall was immaculate. Nowadays, the house is all but derelict, with mushrooms growing through the walls, a yard full of dog poo and a loo which hasn't been cleaned in years. Juggling three businesses just to keep the roof from leaking any more than it already is, Jeremy says housekeeping comes a long way down his to-do list. His main concern is running pheasant shoots from home, but he needs to up his game in order to attract higher paying clients. He plans to re-launch his shooting business with a grand lunch at the end of the week, but getting the house ready in time is too big a job for him alone. To help bring this plan to fruition, two obsessive compulsive cleaners are moving in for five days.
