Explore serviceWe are not an agency passing your keys around. Every cleaner is employed, trained in-house and paid above the Real Living Wage — which is why our clients keep the same face at the door for years.
An end-of-tenancy kitchen in Caversham — four hours, two cleaners, deposit returned in full.
Everything a regular visit does, plus the jobs that only get done once or twice a year — inside the oven, behind appliances, limescale, extractor filters, skirting, door frames and window interiors.
Two-minute form or a quick call. Property size, rooms and how often you'd like us.
A written price with the checklist attached. No survey fees, no surprises on the day.
We match you to a cleaner near you and introduce them before the first visit.
Room-by-room sign-off, photos on request, and a 48-hour re-clean promise.
"We've had Marta every Thursday for three years. The house is spotless, but honestly it's the reliability that sells it — she has never once let us down."
"I manage eleven rentals around Reading. Sparkle handle every changeover and I have never had a deposit dispute over cleanliness since we moved to them."
"Our office of 40 is cleaned overnight and we arrive to a genuinely fresh space. Invoicing is clean too — one monthly PO, no add-ons."
Send a few details and a member of the Reading team will come back within two working hours with a fixed quote and the first available slot.
Thirty-four employed cleaners, one office on Kings Road, and a client list built almost entirely on word of mouth across Berkshire.
Meera Chandran spent nine years in hotel housekeeping before deciding that domestic cleaning in Reading deserved the same standards: written checklists, trained staff, and a supervisor who actually inspects the work.
Sparkle Cleaning opened in 2014 with one van and eleven households in Caversham. Twelve years on we clean around 268 properties a week — homes, offices, student blocks and rentals — with cleaners who are employed, not subcontracted, and who stay with us an average of four years.
We have never advertised on a billboard. Almost every new client arrives through a neighbour, a letting agent or an office manager who has seen the work.
A clean is finished when the checklist is finished — not when the hour is up. If something is missed we come back inside 48 hours.
Punctuality is the service. You get an arrival window, a name, and a message if anything changes.
Enhanced DBS checks, two references and a paid trial period before any cleaner works unsupervised.
Plant-based, cruelty-free products in refillable bottles, microfibre over disposables, and no bleach unless you ask.
In 2019 we emptied the store cupboard and started again. Everything we use today is plant-based, cruelty-free and biodegradable — decanted into refillable bottles that come back to the office rather than the bin.
bleach or ammonia in the standard kit
single-use bottles avoided each year
microfibre cloths, laundered and reused
electric vans on the Reading round
Growth has been deliberately slow — we only take on new clients when we have a cleaner we trust to look after them.
Meera leaves a hotel housekeeping role and takes on eleven households in Caversham and Emmer Green.
A serviced-office block in central Reading signs up for nightly cleaning — the commercial arm is born.
Every chemical in the store cupboard is replaced with plant-based, refillable alternatives.
Dedicated changeover teams for landlords, agents and student accommodation across Reading and Wokingham.
Still one office on Kings Road, still the same promise: the same cleaner, every visit.
Started Sparkle with one van and a mop bucket in 2014.
Looks after every office, clinic and student block on the books.
Trains every new cleaner and signs off the quality checks.
The reason your cleaner is outside at 9am and not 9.40am.

From a fortnightly tidy in Tilehurst to a forty-room student block in the summer changeover — priced clearly and delivered by people we employ ourselves.
The everyday clean that keeps a home running — kitchens, bathrooms, floors, dusting, beds and laundry if you want it. You keep the same cleaner, so nobody has to be re-briefed every week.
Everything a regular visit covers, plus the once-a-year jobs: inside the oven, behind the appliances, limescale, extractor filters, skirtings, frames and window interiors.
Built around the inventory clerk’s checklist, not ours. Used by tenants, landlords and four Reading letting agents — with a written report and photographs on completion.
Out-of-hours contract cleaning for offices, studios, clinics and co-working space across central Reading, Green Park and Thames Valley Park. One monthly invoice, one account manager.
Communal-area rounds through term time and full void cleans in the summer changeover window. We work to landlord and university handover standards and can turn a whole block in days.
A hotel-standard reset between stays: linen changed, consumables restocked, staging checked and a photo report sent before the next check-in. Same-day turnarounds available.
Professional hot-water extraction for carpets, rugs, sofas and mattresses — lifting traffic lanes, pet marks and general dulling, with low-moisture drying in two to four hours.
Fine dust removal after the trades leave — the two-stage builders clean plus a final sparkle before handover, photography or move-in day.
No surveys, no sales visits, no minimum contracts. Just a clear price and a start date.
Property type, bedrooms, and how often. Photos welcome but not required.
Back within two working hours, with the full checklist attached.
We introduce the cleaner or team before the first visit and agree access.
Signed-off checklist each visit and a supervisor spot-check every quarter.

Every review below is from a real booking on our system. We do not incentivise reviews, and we leave the critical ones up — the two three-star reviews we have are both about parking.
We have had Marta every Thursday for three years. The house is spotless, but honestly it is the reliability that sells it — she has never once let us down, and the office always answers the phone.
I manage eleven rentals around Reading. Sparkle handle every changeover and I have not had a single deposit dispute over cleanliness since we moved to them. The photo reports are worth the fee on their own.
Our office of forty is cleaned overnight and we arrive to a genuinely fresh space every morning. Invoicing is clean too — one monthly PO, no creeping add-ons.
We put Sparkle in front of vendors before every photography appointment. Properties present better and, frankly, they make us look organised.
Six of us in a shared house and none of us fancied the end-of-year clean. They did the lot in a day and the whole deposit came back. Split six ways it was nothing.
Same-day turnarounds, linen sorted, and a photo of every room before check-in. My cleanliness rating has sat at 5.0 for eighteen months.
Booked a deep clean after our extension. The dust was everywhere and I genuinely did not think it could come back. Two cleaners, six hours, house like new.
Clinical setting, so standards matter. Method statements were with us before day one and the audit trail has passed two CQC inspections.
Moved out on a Friday, check-out on the Monday, full deposit back. They even re-did the oven when the clerk queried it, no argument.
