Reliable Commercial Cleaning for Busy Workplaces

Berkshire Cleaning Services (BCS) has been established since 2009. We connect Reading businesses with trusted local cleaning subcontractors for office and commercial cleaning.

Office cleaning that fits around your working day

Every workplace runs differently. That’s why office cleaning should be set up around your schedule, not the other way round.

Typical options include:

• Early mornings (before the team arrives)
• Evenings (after closing)
• Daytime cleans for shared areas (kitchens and washrooms)

Whether you need a simple weekly clean or a more frequent rota, we’ll help you arrange a plan that matches your office size, footfall, and priorities.

What our office & commercial cleaning can include

Your cleaning checklist can be tailored, but most Reading offices ask for a practical mix of the following:

• Vacuuming carpets and mopping hard floors
• Emptying bins and replacing liners
• Cleaning reception areas, meeting rooms, and communal spaces
• Dusting ledges, skirting boards, and reachable surfaces
• Sanitising touchpoints (door handles, switches, shared equipment)
• Kitchen cleaning (worktops, sinks, microwaves, exterior cupboards)
• Washroom cleaning and restocking (soap, toilet roll, paper towels)
• Internal glass cleaning (doors and partitions)

If you’ve got specific requirements (for example: lots of glass, heavy kitchen use, or high-traffic entrances), we’ll factor that in from the start.

A cleaner office helps your business run smoother

Office cleaning isn’t just about making things look nice. It can support:

• A better first impression for clients and visitors
• Staff wellbeing in shared spaces like kitchens and washrooms
• A more professional workplace that people enjoy working in
• Longer-lasting flooring and carpets with regular upkeep

For general workplace hygiene guidance, the UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) provides practical information on maintaining safe working environments: https://www.hse.gov.uk/index.htm

How often should an office be cleaned?

Here’s a simple guide based on what we see most often in Reading:

• Weekly cleaning: smaller offices, low footfall, hybrid teams
• 2-3 times per week: most small-to-medium workplaces
• Daily cleaning: larger offices, client-facing spaces, high footfall

Not sure? A good rule is to increase frequency if your bins fill quickly, your kitchen is busy, or your washrooms see a lot of use.

Why businesses choose Berkshire Cleaning Services

You don’t want to chase cleaners, repeat instructions, or wonder if the job’s been done properly. You want a straightforward service that’s easy to manage.

When you book office cleaning through BCS, you get:

• Established local experience (since 2009)
• Trusted subcontractors matched to your needs
• Flexible scheduling to fit your opening hours

If you’re comparing providers, it’s also worth checking that any commercial cleaner has appropriate insurance in place. The British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc) explains what professional cleaning standards can look like in the industry: https://www.bics.org.uk/

End of Tenancy Cleaning in Reading: New Year Contact: https://berkshirecleaningservices.co.uk/contact/

New Year’s Day has a funny way of making everything feel… possible. New habits. New routines. New “I’m definitely going to be organised this time” energy.

And if you’re moving out of a rental in Reading, there’s one New Year tradition you really don’t want to freestyle:

End of tenancy cleaning. https://berkshirecleaningservices.co.uk/services/end-of-tenancy/

Because nothing says “fresh start” like handing back keys with a property that looks ready for its next chapter.

Why end of tenancy cleaning matters (especially at New Year)

January is peak “life admin” season. Tenancies end. New jobs start. People relocate. And letting agents suddenly become very interested in the state of the oven.

A proper end of tenancy clean helps you:

• Leave the property looking presentable for check-out
• Avoid last-minute panic cleaning at 11pm
• Make sure the big-ticket areas (kitchen, bathroom, carpets) aren’t overlooked
• Get everything done in the time you’ve booked (instead of guessing and hoping)

The New Year end of tenancy cleaning checklist (Reading edition)

Here’s the practical, no-nonsense list we recommend working through.

1) Kitchen: the “deposit danger zone”

Focus on:

• Oven, hob and extractor (including filters)
• Inside cupboards and drawers
• Fridge/freezer inside (if included)
• Sink, taps and limescale
• Splashback and tiles
• Skirting boards and door handles

Pro tip: If you only have time for one thing, do the oven properly. It’s the one area most likely to be flagged.

2) Bathroom: limescale’s annual performance review

• Shower screen and tray
• Grout and tile edges
• Toilet (base, hinges, behind)
• Mirrors and chrome
• Limescale on taps and around drains

3) Bedrooms & living areas: the “looks clean” test

• Dusting (including tops of wardrobes and picture rails)
• Skirting boards and door frames
• Light switches and sockets
• Inside windows (and frames)
• Any marks on doors/walls (where safe to clean)

4) Floors & carpets: the final impression

Floors are what people notice first.

• Vacuum edges and under furniture (if accessible)
• Mop hard floors thoroughly
• Consider carpet cleaning if you’ve had pets, spills, or heavy foot traffic

If you’re moving out in winter, carpets can hold onto damp smells more than you’d expect—freshening them up can make a big difference.

A quick word on carpets (because most tenants ask)

A lot of tenants in Reading add carpet cleaning to their end of tenancy clean—especially in living rooms, hallways and bedrooms.

If you’re unsure whether you need it, ask yourself:

• Have you been there more than 6–12 months?
• Are there visible marks, traffic lines, or odours?
• Was carpet cleaning mentioned in your check-in inventory?

If you answered “yes” to any of the above, it’s worth considering.

FAQs: End of tenancy cleaning in Reading

Do I need professional end of tenancy cleaning?

Not always—but it’s often the easiest way to make sure the property is cleaned thoroughly and consistently, especially if you’re juggling moving day, work, and deadlines.

How long does an end of tenancy clean take?

It depends on the size and condition of the property and whether you add carpet cleaning. The best approach is to share your property details and any priorities so the right amount of time can be booked.

What’s usually included?

Typically: deep kitchen cleaning (including oven), bathroom descaling and detailing, dusting, vacuuming, mopping, internal windows, and attention to skirting boards, doors and touchpoints.

Should I book carpet cleaning too?

If carpets have stains, odours, heavy traffic lines, or if your tenancy agreement/check-in inventory mentions it, it’s worth adding.

When should I book?

As soon as you have your move-out date. January slots can fill quickly because lots of tenancies end around the holidays.

Christmas House Cleaning Reading

Christmas house cleaning in Reading doesn’t need to turn into a late-night, rage-fuelled scrubathon where you suddenly develop a personal feud with the toaster.

If Friday’s post was your “final 72 hours” plan, this one is the final 48 hours edition — the point where you’re juggling last-minute shopping, mystery deliveries, and a kitchen that’s somehow producing crumbs even when nobody’s eaten.

The goal now isn’t perfection. It’s calm, clean-enough, and confidence.

1) The 15-Minute “Front Door Test” (Your Secret Weapon)

Stand at your front door. Take three steps in. What do you see?

That’s what your guests see.

Do this mini-reset (timer on):

• Shoes into a basket or lined up neatly
• Coats on hooks (or one chair, not every chair)
• Quick sweep/vac of the hallway
• Wipe the door handle and light switch
• One festive “anchor” item (wreath, candle, or a bowl of satsumas)

If you want a helping hand with the final pre-Christmas reset, you can request a quote online via our Contact page: https://berkshirecleaningservices.co.uk/contact/

2) The Living Room: Make It Look Clean Without Cleaning the Entire Planet

You don’t need to deep clean the living room. You need to remove visual chaos.

Fast wins:

• Fluff cushions + fold throws (yes, it counts)
• Clear the coffee table (leave one nice thing: candle, book, or festive snack bowl)
• Quick vacuum of the main walking paths
• Wipe TV stand/side tables (dust shows up under fairy lights)

If you’ve got 10 extra minutes, do the “sock sweep”: walk around with a laundry basket and collect anything that belongs elsewhere.

If you’d like ongoing support (so it doesn’t all land on you), see Domestic Cleaning in Reading: https://berkshirecleaningservices.co.uk/services/domestic/

3) The Kitchen: The “Shiny Triangle” That Makes Everything Feel Cleaner

If you’re short on time, focus on what people subconsciously clock:

• Sink + taps (the sparkle zone)
• Hob front + control knobs (grease’s favourite hiding place)
• Worktops (even if you have to use the “later basket” method)

Optional but powerful:

• Wipe cupboard fronts around the bin and kettle area
• Quick microwave wipe (inside + handle)

If you’re booking cleaning hours, tell the cleaner: “Kitchen surfaces, sink/taps, hob front, and cupboard fronts are priority.” Time-based cleans work best when you’re crystal-clear on what matters most.

If your kitchen needs a deeper reset after the festive cooking marathon, our Deep Cleaning service can help: https://berkshirecleaningservices.co.uk/services/deep-cleaning/

4) Bathrooms: The “Two Cloth” Rule (So You Don’t Accidentally Make It Worse)

Bathrooms can go from “fine” to “fresh” fast.

Do this order:

• Toilet (seat, rim, outside)
• Basin + taps
• Mirror
• Quick wipe of shower screen bottom edge
• Floor edges (especially behind the door)

Tip: use one cloth for the toilet area and one for everything else. Your future self will thank you.

If you’re using stronger products, keep it safe: ventilation, gloves, and never mix chemicals. The HSE guidance is a good reference: https://www.hse.gov.uk/

5) Floors + Touch Points: The Two Things That Make a Home Feel Instantly Cleaner

If you want the biggest “wow, it feels clean in here” effect:

• Floors: vacuum/sweep, then a quick mop where needed
• Touch points: door handles, light switches, bannisters, remote controls

These are the areas that get hammered in December — and they’re exactly what guests notice without realising they’re noticing.

If you’ve got carpets that have taken a festive battering (mud, glitter, hot chocolate… all the classics), add on Carpet Cleaning in Reading: https://berkshirecleaningservices.co.uk

6) If You’re Moving Over Christmas/New Year: Do This Instead (Quick EOT Focus)

If you’re in the “moving over Christmas” crowd (you brave soul), switch your priorities to inspection-ready basics:

• Kitchen degrease (hob/extractor/oven front)
• Bathroom limescale + mould prevention
• Skirting boards, door frames, inside cupboards and drawers

Christmas house cleaning Reading made easy for the final days.

If the last blog was your 10-day plan, this is the bit where real life happened. Maybe the kids are home, the weather’s grim, the kitchen has hosted 14 mince pies and a partridge, and your “Day 3–2” schedule has… wandered off.

Good news: your home doesn’t need perfect — it needs reset. And with Christmas and New Year now only days away, this Christmas house cleaning Reading guide is designed for the final stretch: fast wins, maximum impact, minimum stress.

1) The “Guests Are Coming” 30-Minute Rescue (Do This First)

If you do nothing else, do these in order:

1. Bins out + fresh liner in (instant improvement)
2. Clear kitchen worktops (put everything in a “later basket” if needed)
3. Wipe sink + taps + hob front (the shiny bits people notice)
4. Bathroom quick reset (toilet, basin, mirror)
5. Hallway floor sweep/vac (mud, glitter, pine needles… the usual December suspects)

This is the fastest route to “guest-ready” without losing an entire evening.

2) The Christmas Kitchen: Where the Evidence Lives

December cooking is joyful. It’s also… sticky.

If you’ve got 45–60 minutes, focus on:

• Hob and control knobs (grease collects here quietly)
• Splashback and tiles (splatters love a neutral wall)
• Microwave inside (it’s always worse than you remember)
• Fridge handles + door edges (fingerprints and smears)

If you’re booking cleaning hours, tell the cleaner: “Kitchen surfaces + hob + sink + cupboard fronts are priority.” Time-based cleans work best when you’re crystal-clear on what matters most.

3) Bathrooms: The New Year “Fresh Start” Zone

Bathrooms are where “clean” becomes a feeling. For a proper reset, aim for:

• Shower screen (especially the bottom edge)
• Tap bases (limescale halo)
• Mirror (smears show up under winter lighting)
• Floor edges and behind the toilet (the forgotten bits)

If you’re using stronger products, keep it safe: ventilation, gloves, and never mix chemicals. The HSE guidance is a good reference:
https://www.hse.gov.uk/

4) Floors + Touch Points: The Two Things That Make a Home Feel Instantly Cleaner

If you want the biggest “wow, it feels clean in here” effect:

• Floors: vacuum/sweep, then a quick mop where needed
• Touch points: door handles, light switches, bannisters, remote controls

These are the areas that get hammered in December — and they’re exactly what guests notice without realising they’re noticing.

5) If You’re Moving Over Christmas/New Year: Do This Instead (Quick EOT Focus)

If you’re in the “moving over Christmas” crowd (you brave soul), switch your priorities to inspection-ready basics:

• Kitchen degrease (hob/extractor/oven front)
• Bathroom limescale + mould prevention
• Skirting boards, door frames, inside cupboards and drawers

Christmas House Cleaning Reading: 10-Day Countdown Checklist (2–6+ Hours, Your Priorities)

Take the Stress out of Christmas, let us Clean your Home

If Christmas and New Year are only days away, your home doesn’t need “perfect”… it needs guest ready. And the fastest way to get there is a smart plan (plus a little help if you want it).

This guide is for anyone in Reading (RG1–RG6) who wants a calm, clean home for visitors, family sleepovers, last-minute present wrapping, and that magical moment when you sit down with a cuppa and the place doesn’t look like it’s been hit by a tinsel tornado.

1) The Christmas “Guest-Ready” Zones (Where People Actually Look)

When guests pop in, they don’t inspect your loft. They notice:

• Kitchen worktops + sink + hob (grease and crumbs love December)
• Bathroom (toilet, basin, shower screen, mirrors)
• Hallway + living room floors (mud, rain, pine needles, glitter… somehow)
• Door handles + light switches (fingerprints everywhere)
• Bins (fresh liners = instant improvement)

If you focus on these areas first, Christmas house cleaning Reading becomes manageable even when you’re busy.

2) Choose Your Hours: 2, 4, or 6 Hours (Spend Them Where You Want)

Berkshire Cleaning Services offers hourly-rated cleans, so you can choose the time that fits your home and your plans:

• 2 hours: a quick reset (kitchen + bathroom, or floors + living areas)
• 4 hours: a fuller clean across key rooms and the “noticeable details”
• 6 hours: ideal if you want multiple rooms tackled properly (plus the forgotten bits)

Because it’s time-based, you can have whatever you wish done on the inside of the property within the time booked—you’re in control of priorities.

If you want ongoing help (or a one-off festive refresh), see our Domestic Cleaning in Reading page here:
https://berkshirecleaningservices.co.uk/services/domestic/

3) Value Service: 6+ Hours Minimum (With a Safety Net if You Need More)

If you want a proper pre-Christmas refresh (the kind that makes the house feel genuinely lighter), the Value service is:

• Minimum 6 hours
• If you need extra time, you can add an extra 2.5 hours at 50% off

That’s a great option if you’re hosting, have kids home for the holidays, or just want to start the New Year without staring at dusty skirting boards.

4) Add Carpets for Just £20 (Available from a 4-Hour Clean)

Carpets take a beating in December—wet shoes, extra footfall, and the occasional “oops” moment.

For just another £20, you can include carpet cleaning within the time booked (this is available from a 4-hour clean, not the 2-hour option). It’s especially handy for:

• hallways and stairs
• living room traffic lanes
• dining area carpets after festive meals

5) Don’t Forget the “Moving Over Christmas” Crowd (End of Tenancy Tips)

If you’re moving out around Christmas or New Year, you’ve got two missions at once: enjoy the season and leave the property inspection ready.

In that case, focus heavily on:

• kitchens degrease (hob/extractor/oven front)
• bathrooms limescale + mould prevention
• skirting boards, door frames, and inside cupboards

If you’re handing keys back soon, start here:
https://berkshirecleaningservices.co.uk/services/end-of-tenancy/

6) The 10-Day Countdown Plan (So You Don’t Panic-Clean on Christmas Eve)

Try this simple schedule:

• Day 10–7: Declutter surfaces (kitchen, hallway, living room)
• Day 6–4: Kitchen + bathroom deep focus
• Day 3–2: Floors, skirting boards, touch points (handles, switches)
• Day 1: Final sparkle pass (bins, mirrors, quick vacuum)

If you’re using stronger products for grease or limescale, it’s worth following the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) advice on safe use of cleaning chemicals (ventilation, mixing products, and protective gloves):
https://www.hse.gov.uk/

And because December cleaning often involves candles, extra cooking, and guests, it’s also smart to check seasonal home safety guidance from Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service (especially around kitchens and electrical safety):
https://www.royalberkshirefireandrescue.org.uk/

End of Tenancy Cleaning in Reading: The Most Commonly Missed Spots (And How to Avoid Landlord Deductions)

Moving out of a rented property in Reading? You’ve packed the boxes, cleaned the obvious, and you’re ready to hand over the keys. But wait—did you remember the skirting boards? What about the extractor fan? Many tenants lose part of their deposit over missed cleaning spots that landlords and letting agents check first.

Here’s a helpful guide to the most commonly overlooked areas during end of tenancy cleaning, and how to make sure your property passes inspection with flying colours. https://berkshirecleaningservices.co.uk/services/end-of-tenancy/

1. Skirting Boards & Door Frames

It’s easy to focus on floors and surfaces, but dust and grime love to cling to skirting boards and door frames. A quick wipe-down with a damp cloth can make a big difference—and shows attention to detail.https://www.tenancydepositscheme.com

3. Extractor Fans & Vents

Bathroom and kitchen extractor fans are dust magnets. Remove the covers and give them a good clean. Fresh, dust-free vents are a sign of a well-maintained home.

4. Behind & Under Appliances

Pull out the fridge, cooker, and washing machine if you can. Food debris and dust gather in these hidden spots, and inspectors often check them.

5. Window Tracks & Frames

You might clean the glass, but don’t forget the window tracks and frames. Use a vacuum nozzle and a damp cloth to get rid of dust, crumbs, and cobwebs.

6. Bathroom Grout & Silicone

Mould and limescale on grout or silicone can cost you part of your deposit. Scrub these areas with a suitable cleaner for a fresh, hygienic finish.

7. Cupboard Interiors

Empty cupboards and drawers and wipe them inside and out. Pay special attention to kitchen cupboards near the hob, as grease can build up over time.

End of Tenancy Cleaning Reading: Your Complete Guide to Getting Your Deposit Back

Moving out of your rental property in Reading? Whether you’re in RG1, RG2, RG30, RG31, RG4, RG5, or RG6, there’s one thing standing between you and your full deposit: a spotless property. Meanwhile, most tenants underestimate just how thorough landlords expect the final clean to be.https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-to-rent/Reading

Why End of Tenancy Cleaning in Reading Matters More Than You Think

Your landlord isn’t being fussy when they inspect every corner. However, they’re protecting their investment and ensuring the property is ready for the next tenant. In fact, deposit disputes over cleaning are one of the most common issues reported to tenancy deposit schemes.

Professional end of tenancy cleaning Reading services understands exactly what landlords and letting agents expect. Therefore, hiring experts can save you time, stress, and potentially hundreds of pounds in deposit deductions.

What Areas Need Special Attention During Your Move-Out Clean?

Every property is different, but certain areas consistently cause problems for tenants across RG1, RG2, RG30, RG31, RG4, RG5, and RG6. Moreover, these are the spots landlords check first:

• Kitchen deep cleaning includes degreasing ovens, scrubbing behind appliances, and removing limescale from taps and sinks.
• Meanwhile, bathrooms need thorough descaling, grout cleaning, and mould removal.
• Carpets and floors must be thoroughly vacuumed, with carpet cleaning carried out using warm water extraction or steam cleaning if required, and all areas should be free of stains.
• Skirting boards, light switches, and door frames must also be wiped down.
• Windows inside and out, including frames and sills, should sparkle. Furthermore, don’t forget often-missed areas like inside cupboards, under radiators, and the tops of door frames.

How Reading Postcodes Affect Your End of Tenancy Clean

Different areas of Reading have different property types. For instance, RG1 and RG2 town centre properties often have smaller flats with compact kitchens, while RG4, RG5, and RG6 (Caversham, Woodley, and Earley) typically feature larger family homes.

RG30 and RG31 (Tilehurst and Calcot) properties frequently have gardens and outdoor spaces that also need attention. Therefore, your end of tenancy cleaning Reading requirements will vary depending on your location and property size.https://www.google.com/maps/place/Reading

The Smart Way to Handle Your Move-Out Clean
