We clean dust from surfaces after building work has finished, including the rooms and fittings you want ready for everyday use again. Tell us about tools, packaging and building waste still present so these are not confused with cleaning dust.

Area
What we clean
Empty interiors
We clean empty cupboard and drawer interiors when requested. Please remove packaging, tools and contents first, keeping any retained supplies clearly identified.
Appliance exteriors
We remove dust from appliance fronts and handles around the newly fitted kitchen. Oven and fridge interiors can be added separately when you ask for a price.
Kitchen floor
We clean the available kitchen floor and reachable edges around the installed units. Heavy-material removal and moving fitted appliances are separate tasks.

Fittings and suitable surrounding finishes
Area
What we clean
Basins
We clean the basin bowl, rim, taps and surrounding ledge, working on ordinary splashes and bathroom residue.
Baths
We clean the inside of the bath, the rim and the areas around the taps. Soap residue and dirt are removed with care for the finish.
Toilets
We clean the toilet bowl, seat, lid and outside of the fitting. Please include any separate downstairs toilet when listing the bathrooms.
Shower glass
We assess residue on reachable shower glass before cleaning it. Provide coating information and show paint, adhesive or another concentrated mark.
Tiles
We clean reachable tiles for dust and appropriate removable residue. Fresh grout, adhesive or unusual deposits need particular mention before the visit.
Bathroom floors
We clean the bathroom floor and the edges we can reach around the fittings. Clear loose toiletries, bathmats and washing from these areas.
We clean reachable surfaces and available floors in living rooms included after the works. Tell us which furniture and belongings will remain.
Bedrooms
We clean the bedroom surfaces wanted where dust has settled, including available ledges and floor edges. Show any fixed furniture covering part of the area.
Private hallways
We clean the private hallway floor and the room details booked with it. Include the hallway when listing the rooms affected by the building work.
Stairs and landings
We clean private stairs and landings wanted after the project. Give their floor finish and mention remaining materials or other obstructions.
Retained cupboards
We clean the accessible cupboard surfaces you list in retained rooms. Empty interiors need to be made available before internal cleaning is expected.
Room corners
We clean dust and dirt from the room corners we can reach. Please arrange any heavy furniture or stacked materials to be moved before the visit.
After Builders Cleaning
Care for different materials
Dust, residue and the surface underneath
Area
What we clean
New glass
Tell us about any coating or protective film on new glass. We check the glass and the residue before cleaning, using the maker’s care instructions where available.
Fresh paint
Follow the decorator’s instructions about when new paint can be cleaned. We can clean the other finished surfaces while leaving paint that still needs to dry or cure.
Timber
We clean reachable timber surfaces with their finish in mind. Mention existing wear or a newly applied coating before the visit.
Stone
We check the stone and its finish before cleaning. Share any supplier instructions, especially for newly installed worktops or floors.
Concentrated marks
Show paint, adhesive and other particular residue in close and wider views. Removal depends on the material beneath, not just the mark’s appearance.
Damaged surfaces
Point out scratches, chips, loose fittings or missing sealant. Cleaning removes dirt; it does not repair defects left by construction.

Getting the rooms ready
Before the post-build clean
Area
What we clean
Finish dusty work
Tell us when sanding, cutting and other dust-producing work ends. Continuing trades can introduce fresh dust onto surfaces already cleaned.
Clear larger materials
Arrange removal of rubble, heavy supplies and contractors’ equipment where needed. The rooms should not rely on the cleaner moving large materials to reach surfaces.
Empty the areas wanted
Identify retained belongings and clear the items agreed with you. Cleaning storage surfaces is different from sorting or deciding what to discard.
Provide entry
Give us the correct house or flat number and tell us who will open the door. Mention any separately locked rooms or managed entrance before the visit.
Explain available facilities
Tell us beforehand if water or power is unavailable in the rooms being cleaned. We can discuss what is needed for your visit before confirming the appointment.
Pass on care notes
Share installer information for new floors, glass, paint and fittings. Photographs of the rooms and particular residue also help explain what needs cleaning.
After Builders Cleaning
Extra services and unfinished jobs
Ask about these separately
Area
What we clean
Carpet treatment
Ask separately for carpet cleaning if the carpets need more than ordinary vacuuming. List the rooms, stairs and particular marks you want us to look at.
Upholstery cleaning
List any sofa or other fabric item you want treated, with covering information. Furniture in a dusty room does not automatically receive specialist upholstery treatment.
Appliance interiors
Name ovens, fridges and other internal appliance work wanted. Cleaning a fitted kitchen’s surfaces should not leave those additional tasks implied.
Waste removal
Describe larger debris and removal wanted before booking. Taking away heavy waste is different from cleaning available floors, fittings and other room surfaces.
Protective layers
Tell us about remaining films, tape or coverings and who removes them. Their handling may depend on product instructions and the finish underneath.
Repairs and snagging
Please arrange unfinished installation and repairs with the contractor. We clean the finished rooms and can point out a visible problem, but the visit does not replace the builder’s remaining work.
After Builders Cleaning
After-builders cleaning from £29 per hour
The actual rooms and condition help explain the price
Price information
What to tell us
Starting hourly rate
After builders cleaning starts from £29 per hour. Send the rooms and finished work types, with photographs of the current dust, fittings and residue.
A single kitchen or bathroom
Show the room and installed details. A small space can contain many surfaces, so size alone does not explain the work or time needed.
Several rooms
List the renovated and retained rooms wanted, including private stairs or halls. Tell us about furniture and materials that will stay during the clean.
Additional work
Name specialist carpet, upholstery or appliance cleaning separately. Show unusual residue or larger waste so the quotation does not leave those extra jobs unclear.
Questions about after builders cleaning in Harold Wood
Your after builders cleaning questions
Question
Answer
Does a kitchen clean include internal oven treatment?
Ask specifically for the oven interior and send photos of the grease or deposits inside when booking the kitchen clean.
Can the cleaner scrape marks from newly fitted glass?
Send photos of the marks and the glass or coating instructions before booking. Scraping is not suitable for every pane.
Should I mention leftover product containers?
Yes. Show the containers and say what is inside if you know, so we can discuss them before cleaning.
How do I know new finishes are ready to be cleaned?
Ask the installer when the new finishes can be cleaned and request their care instructions before the appointment.
Are current photos better than old listing pictures for a cleaning quote?
Yes. They show the dirt, fittings and building materials left now, rather than the home as it looked before the work.
