After Builders Cleaning
Establish when the site is ready for a cleaning visit
| Before the appointment | Information needed | Practical response |
|---|---|---|
| Trade completion | Tell us about any remaining sanding, cutting, painting or installation work, including work in a room connected to the area you want cleaned. | We discuss whether the appointment should follow that work or whether only a clearly separated finished area can be addressed. A requested handover date does not make ongoing dust-producing work compatible with a final clean. |
| Room clearance | Explain what materials, tools, protective coverings and larger waste remain in the rooms. Photographs help distinguish a cleaning task from a space that is still functioning as a worksite. | The agreed areas need practical access. Removal of building waste, heavy materials or contractors’ equipment is not silently added to the cleaning brief; responsibility for making those areas available should be settled first. |
| Entry and utilities | Provide the correct entrance, floor level and access contact. State whether water and electrical access are available and whether any part of the property is isolated or unfinished. | We assess the proposed work against the actual conditions. An incomplete installation or inaccessible room is raised before proceeding, rather than treated as a detail that the cleaner can resolve independently. |
After Builders Cleaning
Separate cleaning residues from unfinished building work
| Issue found | What happens within the cleaning service |
|---|---|
| Unidentified material or debris | Describe unusual dust, debris or containers before the visit. We do not treat unknown materials as ordinary household dirt or assume they can be handled within a general cleaning appointment. A concern requiring identification or specialist assessment must be resolved before the affected area is included, rather than hidden inside a broad after-builders checklist. |
| Repairs and snagging | Loose fittings, damaged paint, missing sealant and scratched glass are different from surface dirt. The cleaning visit can identify a visible limitation relevant to its work, but it is not a contractor’s snagging survey or repair service. We keep those issues distinct so a building defect is not presented as a removable cleaning mark. |
| Protective films and coverings | Tell us which coverings remain and who is responsible for removing them. A protective layer may have installation instructions, adhesive limitations or an unfinished surface beneath it. We do not remove every film or sheet on the assumption that it is cleaning waste; any agreed removal needs to be appropriate to the surface and condition. |

Move from dust removal to detailed room finishing
| Sequence element | Purpose | Completion boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Accessible upper surfaces | We address reachable settled dust on the surfaces listed in the brief before completing lower details. The room layout and installed fittings determine the practical route. | High voids, sealed ducts and inaccessible structural spaces are not assumed to be included. We identify where the agreed cleaning stops instead of using a room name to imply every concealed surface has been treated. |
| Fittings and horizontal details | Doors, reachable ledges, switches where suitable, skirtings and other specified details are worked according to their material and condition. Dust is dealt with in a controlled manner rather than simply moved from one surface to the next. | Fresh paint, delicate finishes or loose fittings can change what is appropriate. Where further action could damage a new installation, we discuss the limitation and leave the relevant item for the responsible trade if necessary. |
| Floors and exit route | The suitable floor areas are completed after the agreed accessible details, with attention to corners and edges that can be reached. The exit route is considered so completed sections are not needlessly crossed. | Heavy furniture and stored materials restrict the available floor. Their removal or movement requires agreement; cleaning exposed floor space should not be reported as cleaning beneath items that remained fixed or inaccessible. |
After Builders Cleaning
Allocate work according to what was renovated
| Renovated space | Task focus | Details to specify |
|---|---|---|
| New or refurbished kitchen | Accessible worktops, cupboard faces, fittings and suitable floors can be included according to the brief. We check the readiness of the installed finishes before addressing visible dust and marks. | List cupboard interiors and appliances individually if they are required. Packaging, installation debris and a cooker that has been used during building work represent different tasks and should not disappear into a single instruction to clean the kitchen. |
| Bathroom installation | The agreed sanitary fittings, reachable wall surfaces and floor are reviewed for dust and suitable removable residue. Newly fitted joints and finishes need particular attention to readiness. | Ask the installer about curing or product restrictions and pass that information on. A cleaner should not decide that freshly applied sealant is ready for unrestricted treatment simply because the rest of the room appears complete. |
| Living rooms, bedrooms and connecting halls | We identify the rooms affected, the accessible details and their floor finishes. The plan can distinguish a room rebuilt throughout from one where trades only passed through. | Carpet extraction, upholstery treatment and specialist fabric work are separate services when requested. Ordinary removal of building dust from accessible room surfaces should not imply that every soft furnishing has received a specialist clean. |

Treat residues according to the surface beneath them
| Surface or mark | Assessment and treatment boundary |
|---|---|
| Glass with visible residue | State where the glass is located, what material appears on it and whether protective coatings or films are present. We consider the condition before proposing work. Not every post-construction mark is removable soil, and aggressive scraping should not be assumed to be suitable merely because a window has been newly installed. |
| Painted and decorated surfaces | Fresh decoration may need time before it can tolerate cleaning, and different finishes respond differently. We work from the actual readiness information and visible condition. A paint splash on a hard fitting is assessed separately from damage to a newly painted wall; the objective is appropriate cleaning, not correction of every decorating defect. |
| Stone, tiles and timber | Identify floor and worktop materials where known and explain any contractor care instructions. A product suitable for one hard surface may be unsuitable for another. We avoid treating grout haze, adhesive, polish and general dust as interchangeable problems, and discuss marks that fall beyond a safe, agreed cleaning approach for the finish. |

Use the renovation details to define the quote
| Quotation subject | Price and quotation information |
|---|---|
| Starting hourly rate | After builders cleaning is listed from £29 per hour. The scope depends on the property, its condition and the work agreed. Tell us the completed trade activities, affected rooms and accessible surfaces so the quotation can describe the intended cleaning, rather than apply an hourly figure to an undefined renovation project. |
| Extent and condition | Photographs and approximate room dimensions help show dust levels, residue, fittings and remaining contents. Explain whether the whole property needs attention or only a completed part. A small bathroom installation and a full internal refurbishment can involve very different cleaning briefs even if both are described as work after builders. |

Renovation-cleaning questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| How should fabric treatment be separated from settled-dust cleaning if large furniture blocks the requested cleaning area? | List any carpet or upholstered item needing separate assessment, with its covering information, dimensions and marks described clearly. Show where retained furniture sits relative to the completed works and settled-dust areas. Removing suitable settled dust from a room is different from automatically including extraction or specialist upholstery treatment. The renovation clean should not presume permission to relocate substantial possessions or contractors’ equipment. |
| How should access through an occupied part of the property be arranged if the home has its own entrance beside a shop? | Show the permitted route and the private areas that must remain undisturbed while the finished work areas are reached for cleaning. Separate the completed residential project from the shop or business still operating nearby. The appointment needs actual access instructions rather than an assumption that every room in the building has been vacated. A domestic renovation enquiry does not establish permission to work within the adjoining premises. |
| How should coverings that must stay in place be identified if reaching the surfaces would disturb private storage? | Name the protective layers that remain and explain the contractor’s instructions before the surrounding finished areas are assessed for cleaning. Show the surfaces affected by settled dust around the storage that must remain untouched. The request should not imply permission to strip every film or expose a surface that is not yet ready. Post-work cleaning should not become an assumed clearance or reorganisation of private papers and belongings. |
| How should different contractor notes enter the cleaning brief when plans and everyday room names do not match? | Identify the finished tasks and relevant care instructions, separating them from work awaiting contractor completion. Identify the completed work areas with clear descriptions that match the contractor’s project information. Conflicting project notes should be clarified before they become assumptions about the requested cleaning scope. A usable cleaning list needs the actual renovation boundary rather than relying on inconsistent room names. |
| Which project photographs describe the current cleaning need when boxes still occupy some of the requested space? | Send current views of the released areas alongside any earlier image needed to explain a change. Describe the remaining packaging and identify who is responsible for making the finished area accessible. The proposed work should reflect current residue, access and readiness rather than an outdated construction stage. Post-renovation cleaning should not be booked on the assumption that all stored materials are cleaning waste. |

| Your actual service brief | Tell us which building work was completed, the rooms affected and whether other trades are still on site. Include the full postcode, the correct entrance and photographs of the selected areas. Identify shared spaces or another person who controls access so the requested work stays within the authorised property boundary. |
| Arranging a practical visit | Share your preferred date and any handover, operating or occupancy constraint. A requested time becomes an appointment after the selected work, entry arrangements and availability have been agreed. Tell us about changes to the rooms, items or access before extending the original brief. |
