Optional Services


Berkshire Cleaning offers optional services as an add on to our existing end of tenancy cleaning services. These services are considered by ourselves to be extended maintenance however, they could fall under the responsibilty of the tenant or the landlord depending on the circumstances. 

Our standard end of tenancy cleaning services covers as much cleaning as possible however, when materials and sufaces need to be renewed or when extensive repair and cleaning work is required then, this work will fall under the category of optional services which, will need to be booked as an extra to our standard cleaning checklist.

If you require any of the services listed on this page then please specify this work when contacting us. We don't guarantee the removal of the following in our standard checklist and will not complete any of this work unless we were specifically requested. The following services are subject to extra charges and our terms and conditions.

The optional services you can book as an add on to our exisiting services includes the following:

Odour Removal

Nicotine - This could include nictione (tar) odour removal due to smoking damage. We can supply cost effective services for the entire removal of the smell of nictione from your property. Cost will depend entirely on the circumstances.

Curry/Grease - Curry odour and grease damage can occur when the hob extractors in a property have been neglected and haven't been cleaned on a regular basis. We don't guarantee the removal of curry odour in our standard end of tenancy cleaning however, it can be booked as an optional add on due to the this work being labour intensive.  

NB: If you would like to book our end of tenancy cleaning services and have extensive curry grease damage then please notify us first. Failure to do so could result in a refusal to complete the agreed work. If the build up of grease on the extractor is enough to cause a drip on the extractor and surrounding surfaces then we deem this as excessive.

Pet Odour - We can remove pet odour from dogs and cats that has been left in a property after the occupants have vacated. This problem can sometimes put of new tenants and stop them from taking on a property. We don't guarantee the entire removal in our standard checklist. Please contact us for more information.

Mould Removal

Wall Mould - The responsibilty for the removal of mould is debatable in the property services industrty. Wall mould can develop from damp, past problems, lack of heating and lack of ventilation. Mould usually requires specialist treatment after basic cleaning. Please contact us for more information.

Silicone Sealant Mould

This mould can permeate the silicone sealant around the basin and bath due to poor quality building materials or the extractor not functioning or not being used by the occupants. This problem requires the removal and replacement of the sealant with a better quality mould resistant silicone. Unfortunately we do not offer the replacement of sealant around glass windows, you will need to speak to a UPVC specialist to correct this.

Grout Mould/Staining

Grout staining can occur in the bathroom around the bath and basin splashback and in the kitchen behind the hob or the sink splashback. In some cases bleaching this surfaces won't work and stratching the surfaces of the grout can damage and remove it, rendering the tiles weak. We offer the service of re-grouting using grout or a grout pen as an add on the our existing cleaning surfaces.
