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 am pleased to say that Uzo was excellent! Polite, friendly, professional and efficient. Bonus was that she was chilled out about the dogs and cat! After being messed around with 7 different cleaners (some good, some not so good) I hope Uzo stays - she's great 👍🏽🥰

Efficient, thorough, hard working and friendly. Very pleased with Aneta's first clean. Also great that she wasn't phased by working around the pets (2 dogs and a kitten!) She is now my 4th cleaner so hopefully I'll retain her and have some consistency for a while.

Clara was not able to perform the task given to her. She said this is due to her health condition (post surgery pains) therefore she promise I would not be charge on this occasion but I have been charge £71 for no work done. I will like to cancel every contract I have with housekeep until further notice. Many thanks.

Valeria was excellent cleaner. She knows what to do 10 over 10. Very quick and gave me quality work. I cannot ask for more. God bless her. I did not have any money at home to give her tip.
