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.

I had the pleasure of having Adrian as my house cleaner for the first time, and I feel incredibly lucky to have found him. Adrian went above and beyond in every aspect of his job, setting a standard of cleanliness and professionalism that is truly commendable. Although it was my first time using Adrian, he showed an unparalleled dedication to not just meeting, but exceeding expectations. His attention to detail is remarkable and, it's evident that Adrian takes great pride in his work (even attending to the toilet rolls). While Adrian has exceptional cleaning skills, he is also professional. He was easy to communicate with, understanding what needed to be done, making the entire process seamless and hassle-free. Also, his friendly and positive attitude lifted the environment. I look forward to working with Adrian again.

Overall it was great! But the oven's top part wasn't clean. I think it was missed because you normally don't look at the top part. The bottom part was cleaned properly!
