What's Included

Builders cleaning addresses the specific contamination left by construction and finishing trades. We systematically work through the space, removing dust, debris, and residues to leave surfaces clean and ready for occupation.

Construction Dust Removal

Fine construction dust penetrates everywhere during building works. We remove plaster dust, brick dust, cement dust, sanding dust, sawdust, and MDF dust from all surfaces. Industrial HEPA vacuums capture fine particles that standard vacuums recirculate. We vacuum floors, skirting boards, window sills, ledges, light fittings, and any horizontal surface where dust settles. High-level cleaning addresses dust on tops of doors, architraves, and ceiling fixtures.

Dust is removed from cupboards, wardrobes, and storage units. We clean inside kitchen units, bathroom cabinets, and any fitted furniture. Air vents, extractor covers, and radiators are cleaned to remove accumulated dust.

Paint and Residue Removal

Decorating leaves paint splatter on windows, floors, and fittings. We remove paint spots, overspray, and drips from glass, tiles, sanitaryware, and other surfaces using appropriate scrapers and solvents. Emulsion and gloss paint are treated with suitable products that won't damage underlying surfaces.

We remove adhesive residue from tape, protective films, and stickers. Labels on windows, appliances, and sanitaryware are removed. Silicone smears around bathrooms and kitchens are cleaned. Grout haze on tiles is polished off. Cement residue and plaster splashes are carefully removed from finished surfaces.

Windows and Glass

Window cleaning on new builds and refurbishments requires attention to construction contamination. We clean all glass inside and out, removing protective film residue, paint spots, plaster splashes, and label adhesive. Window frames, sills, and tracks are cleaned. We use scrapers and specialist glass cleaning products to achieve streak-free results without scratching.

Internal glazing, including glass partitions, balustrades, shower screens, and mirrors, is cleaned to the same standard.

Floor Cleaning

Floor finishes require careful cleaning after construction. Hard floors, including tiles, wood, vinyl, and stone, are thoroughly vacuumed and then cleaned with appropriate products for the surface type. We remove paint spots, adhesive marks, and grout residue. Protective coverings and tape marks are addressed. Floors are left clean and ready for use or for the client's own floor treatment.

Carpeted areas are deep vacuumed using HEPA equipment to remove fine construction dust embedded in fibres. Professional carpet cleaning can be added if required for heavily soiled carpets.

Kitchen Cleaning

New kitchens and refurbished kitchen areas are cleaned thoroughly. We clean the inside and outside of all cupboards and drawers, removing dust and debris from the installation. Worktops are cleaned and sanitised. Splashbacks and tiles are cleaned, with grout haze removed. Sinks and taps are cleaned and polished. Appliances are cleaned externally; internal appliance cleaning is available as an add-on.

We remove protective films from appliances, worktops, and sinks. Labels and stickers are removed. Kickboards and plinths are cleaned. Extractor hoods and filters are cleaned where accessible.

Bathroom and Sanitaryware Cleaning

Bathrooms require detailed cleaning after installation. We clean all sanitaryware, including toilets, basins, baths, and showers, removing protective films, labels, and installation residues. Tiles are cleaned, and grout haze is polished off. Shower screens and enclosures are cleaned. Taps and fittings are polished.

Bathroom cabinets and vanity units are cleaned inside and out. Mirrors are polished. Extractor fans are cleaned. Floors are thoroughly cleaned, including behind toilets and in corners. Silicone lines are wiped clean of any residue.

General Areas

Throughout the space, we clean all doors and door frames, removing dust from tops, edges, and panels. Architraves and skirting boards are wiped throughout. Light switches, sockets, and consumer units are carefully cleaned. Light fittings are dusted and cleaned. Radiators are cleaned, including behind those that are accessible. Built-in furniture, shelving, and storage are cleaned inside and out.

We remove cobwebs from corners and ceilings. Ceiling roses and coving are dusted. Any marks on painted walls are spot-cleaned where possible without damaging decoration.

Project Types

New Build Developments

We provide builders cleaning for new build residential developments from single houses to large apartment blocks. Our teams work through multiple units efficiently, maintaining consistent standards across the development. We coordinate with site programmes, supporting phased handovers and sales launches. Show homes and marketing suites receive particular attention to create the best impression for purchasers.

Commercial Fit-Outs

Office fit-outs, retail fit-outs, restaurant fit-outs, and commercial interior projects require thorough post-construction cleaning before client handover. We clean CAT A and CAT B fit-out completions, working to tight programmes as businesses prepare to occupy new premises. Our teams are experienced in commercial environments and understand contractor requirements.

Refurbishments and Renovations

Refurbishment projects-whether commercial office refurbishments, retail refurbishments, or residential renovations-generate construction contamination throughout the space. We clean affected areas thoroughly, addressing dust migration into areas beyond the immediate works. For phased refurbishments, we can clean completed sections while works continue elsewhere.

Domestic Renovations

Homeowners undertaking extensions, loft conversions, basement conversions, or kitchen and bathroom installations need builders cleaning to restore their home after work is complete. We provide the same professional service for domestic projects, removing construction dust and debris so homes are livable again. Our after-builders cleaning service is popular with homeowners who want their property properly cleaned before the builder leaves the site.

Heritage and Listed Buildings

Works to listed buildings and heritage properties require careful cleaning that respects original features. Our teams understand the need for appropriate cleaning methods and products on historic surfaces. We work with the care these buildings deserve.

Cleaning Phases

Rough Clean

The initial rough clean removes bulk debris and heavy dust accumulation while finishing trades are still working. This is typically done after plastering and before decoration begins, or between construction phases. Rough cleaning makes the site safer and more pleasant for the following trades. This is not a final clean but prepares the space for completion works.

Builder's Clean / First Clean

The main builders clean happens after all trades have finished, but before snagging inspection. This comprehensive clean removes construction contamination throughout, preparing the space for client viewing. Most construction projects require at least this level of cleaning. It addresses all the tasks described in our 'What's Included' section.

Sparkle Clean / Final Clean

The sparkle clean is the final polish before handover or occupation. After snagging works are complete and any making good has been done, the sparkle clean addresses any new dust or marks, touches up the previous clean, and ensures the space is pristine for the client. This is often a lighter clean focused on presentation perfection.

Show Home / Marketing Clean

Show homes, show flats, and marketing suites require exceptional presentation to support sales. We provide detailed cleaning to show home standard, ensuring every surface is perfect for photography and viewings. Ongoing maintenance cleaning can be arranged to keep show properties pristine throughout the sales period.

How It Works

1. Site Visit and Assessment

We visit the site to assess the scope of work, current condition, and any specific requirements. For larger projects, this may involve walking the site with your project manager or site manager. We note access arrangements, programme constraints, and coordination requirements with other trades.

2. Quotation and Documentation

We provide a detailed quotation based on the site assessment, specifying what's included and pricing. For contractor clients, we supply risk assessments, method statements, and any documentation required for your project files. We can work to your specification or propose our standard scope.

3. Programme Coordination

We agree timing that fits your construction programme. Cleaning dates may need to flex as programmes adjust-we accommodate changes where possible and keep you informed of our availability. We coordinate with site management on access, working hours, and any concurrent activities.

4. Site Induction and Mobilisation

Our operatives complete your site induction before starting work. We bring all equipment and products needed-no reliance on site facilities unless agreed. Teams arrive with appropriate PPE and CSCS cards. We sign in according to site procedures and coordinate daily with site management.

5. Cleaning and Sign-Off

We work systematically through the space according to the agreed scope. Supervisors check quality throughout. On completion, we walk the site with your representative if required to confirm satisfaction. We address any snags promptly. You receive confirmation that cleaning is complete.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does builders cleaning take?

Duration depends on the size and condition of the space. A one-bed apartment typically takes 4-6 hours for a main clean. A three-bed house takes 6-10 hours. Commercial spaces are assessed individually. We provide time estimates with our quotation and can increase team size to meet tight deadlines.

Do your operatives have CSCS cards?

Yes. Our builders cleaning operatives hold CSCS cards and are competent to work on construction sites. They complete site-specific inductions as required and work in accordance with site rules and CDM requirements.

Can you work to our construction programme?

Yes. We understand that cleaning is programme-critical and coordinate our work to meet your completion dates. We can adjust dates if programmes change and scale resources to meet tight deadlines. Early engagement helps us plan for your requirements.

Do you provide method statements and risk assessments?

Yes. We provide project-specific risk assessments and method statements as standard. RAMS documentation is available for your project files. We respond to contractor health and safety requirements and complete pre-qualification questionnaires.

What's the difference between builders cleaning and deep cleaning?

Builders cleaning specifically addresses construction contamination, including plaster dust, paint splatter, adhesive residue, grout haze, and installation debris. Deep cleaning addresses accumulated dirt in occupied properties. The techniques, equipment, and products differ. Properties that have had building work need builders cleaning; properties needing a thorough refresh need deep cleaning.

Can you clean domestic renovations as well as commercial projects?

Yes. We provide builders cleaning for domestic projects, including extensions, loft conversions, kitchen installations, and whole-house renovations. Homeowners receive the same professional service, removing construction dust and debris so the home is livable after works are complete.
