Frequently asked questions

Why do I need a specialist clean after renovation or building work?

Renovation and building work often results in lots of dust throughout your property. An after builders clean is designed to remove that before you move back in, so you can be comfortable when you return to the property.

What’s the difference between regular cleaning and after builders cleaning?

After builders cleaning is more thorough than regular cleaning, and requires specialist equipment. The after builders service removes high levels of dirt and dust from your surfaces, plus the exterior of your kitchen appliances and white goods. Your cleaners will also deep clean the inside of your windows, the outside of cupboards and your skirting boards, to ensure that all dust and dirt is removed.

What kind of paint spillages can be removed?

Your cleaners can try to remove small amounts of paint from windows, provided there is no risk of causing damage.

Your cleaners will not remove paint spillages from flooring, due to the risk of further damage. We would recommend you discuss any spillages with your builder.

How do I pay?

We take a card payment when you book. We accept Visa, Mastercard and American Express payment cards.

How can I arrange access if I’m not at home?

We can collect keys from a key safe, a neighbour or your estate agent (within a ten minute walk of the property). Just let us know where the keys will be in the ‘Any other details?’ section of the booking form.

How long does an after builders clean take?

It usually takes your cleaning team 3-5 hours to complete an after builders clean.

What equipment do cleaning teams bring?

The cleaning team will bring everything they need for your after builders clean, including all products and a vacuum cleaner.

How does the Housekeep Guarantee work?

If we miss anything, let us know within 72 hours and we’ll come back and reclean it for free.

Upton Park (E6)

Abdu proved to be an great help at home today to ensure that everything was clean and tidy. He worked tirelessly to make sure that every room was cleaned. From dusting the furniture to vacuuming the carpets and mopping the floors, Abdu's hard work paid off in a big way, leaving the house looking sparkling clean. It's clear that he takes great pride in his work, and his efforts did not go unnoticed. In fact, his clean was so good that it made everyone feel more relaxed and at ease in the home. We are grateful for Abdu's dedication and commitment to keeping our living space clean and comfortable. His willingness to go above and beyond is truly appreciated.
