Our story
Built on a simple idea: businesses deserve a cleaning company they can actually rely on
CQD Cleaning Services Ltd was founded in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire in 2012. The founding principle was straightforward: too many commercial cleaning companies over-promise and under-deliver. Businesses sign contracts, standards slip after the first few weeks, and the client is left chasing a company that has moved on to the next sale.
We built CQD to be different. From day one, we focused on a defined service area — the Thames Valley and Home Counties — rather than trying to cover the whole country. That focus means we can staff every contract properly, respond quickly when something needs attention, and build genuine relationships with the businesses we serve.
Thirteen years later, our average client relationship is over three years. We have cleaned offices, schools, medical practices, retail units, warehouses, gyms, and restaurants. We have grown through referrals, not advertising — because when a business finds a cleaning company they can trust, they tell other businesses.
We are based at Kingsmead Business Park in High Wycombe and serve 28 towns and cities across Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, and the surrounding Home Counties.

What we stand for
Our values
Reliability above everything
We show up. Every weekday, every week, without fail. Our clients run businesses — they cannot afford a cleaning team that cancels. We have cover teams on standby for every contract so your premises are always ready.
ISO certified — independently audited
CQD holds an Integrated Management System (IMS) certified to ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 14001 (Environmental), and ISO 45001 (Health & Safety). Combined with BICSc membership, these are independently audited credentials — not self-declarations. The highest standard in the sector.
People you can trust
Every member of our cleaning team is DBS checked and reference verified before they set foot on a client site. For schools, GP surgeries, and financial services offices, this is non-negotiable — and we treat it that way.
Long-term partnerships
We do not do one-off contracts and disappear. Our average client relationship is over three years. We assign a dedicated account manager to every contract so there is always one person who knows your site, your preferences, and your team.

Where we work

Our service area covers the Thames Valley, the Home Counties, and the M40/M4 corridor — from London in the east to Oxford and Northampton in the north, and Reading and Bracknell to the south. We are based in High Wycombe, which puts us within 45 minutes of every location we serve.
We deliberately do not try to cover the whole country. A focused service area means we can staff every contract properly, respond quickly to issues, and maintain the quality standards our clients expect.
