Frequently asked questions

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

Svetlana was punctual, very efficient and left the flat looking sparkling and shiny. She quickly learned to use the steam mop and also adhered to our request to use it without steam in the bedrooms. She was easy to communicate with and deftly moved stuff and cleaned behind and underneath them. Would highly recommend her and hope she can do a a regular shift with us.

Rashidat made her way here on a rainy bank holiday and got right to work doing a deep clean of our house after we had moved a lot and it was in quite a dirty state. We're very grateful for her work and working around the various children and family members here to prepare for a new baby. Thanks very much Rashidat.
