Define exactly what the clean includes
The phrase 'deep clean' can mean different things. List rooms and extras so each cleaner prices the same scope.
- Give the number of bedrooms, bathrooms and main living spaces.
- Say whether the clean is recurring, one-off, moving-related or specialist.
- List ovens, carpets, upholstery, windows and heavy build-up separately.
- Confirm whether products and equipment are supplied by the cleaner.

Reading rental and cleaning context
Borough-wide HMO licensing makes clear property details especially useful
Reading introduced additional HMO licensing across the whole borough from 1 March 2026. That does not create a general requirement to hire a cleaner, but it makes clear property condition and handover details especially relevant for shared rented homes.
Most smaller HMOs now need a Reading licence too
Reading Borough Council says its additional licensing scheme applies borough-wide to many HMOs occupied by three or four people from two or more households. For landlord or agent cleaning jobs, state whether the property is a shared house and whether the work is a routine clean, turnover clean or preparation for inspection.

Rubbish removal is not the same as ordinary cleaning
Reading's commercial waste guidance says waste produced or removed through business activity must be handled under commercial waste rules. If the cleaning brief includes large amounts of rubbish, old furniture or renovation debris, agree the disposal method separately.

Give the room count and the actual condition
A shared rental in Redlands, a central Reading flat and a family home in Tilehurst can require very different visit lengths. State bedrooms, bathrooms, condition and any specialist tasks.
List extras separately. Ovens, carpets, inside windows, appliances, heavy build-up and rubbish removal are commonly priced differently from routine cleaning.

Before you hire
What should you check before hiring a cleaner?
A clear definition of the finished standard matters more than a vague promise of a certain number of hours.
Agree the checklist
Specify rooms, appliances, inside cupboards, windows and carpets where they form part of the job.
Confirm products and equipment
Ask whether the cleaner brings supplies and whether specialist surfaces need particular products.
Plan access and parking
For apartments or managed rentals, arrange keys, entry and any parking restrictions before the visit.
Questions
Cleaners in Reading: common questions
Useful answers before you post the job.
How much does a cleaner cost in Reading?
Rates vary with property size, condition, frequency and the type of clean. Compare quotes using the same room count and checklist so the prices mean the same thing.
Can I use this page for an end-of-tenancy clean?
Yes. Include the handover date, property size and any landlord or agent checklist so responding cleaners can price the same standard.
Does Reading HMO licensing mean I must hire a professional cleaner?
No. HMO licensing regulates qualifying shared rented properties; it does not create a general requirement to use a professional cleaner.
Can a cleaner take rubbish away too?
Some can, but ask specifically. Waste removal is a separate service and commercial disposal rules can apply when a business removes the waste.
Do I have to hire a cleaner who responds?
No. Up to three interested local professionals can respond and there is no obligation to hire.
