If there doing regular work for you you'll not be able to register them as self employed

You can have them as self-employed.  All you do is have them contract their cleaning services to you. No hassles with tax or NI deductions, just a contract.

Public liablity is easy and you can call a company called Swanton they are pretty well priced and do our cover.
You can ask them to send you a copy of your policy and this can in turn be produced to each client with your valid policy number

Good luck

They can only be self employed if they supply the equipment to do the job, there is a document you can pull off the internet from inland revenue web site and the document is called IR56 and is called Employed or Self Employed, have a look at page 5 & 6. :) :)<a href="http://" target="_blank" class="new_win">http://</a>
