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.

Spotless cleaning again from Drite. From start to finish, she was amazing as usual, and helped clean all items stated on the list of things to do. House looks Immaculate like we'd just moved into a brand new property. I highly recommend her.

She was great! My house was in a very poor state because of my health problems, she was so fast and so strong as an hurricane and she cleaned the house very well. A perfect work. See you soon my Angel!

Antoniya was able to cover a clean when my regular housekeeper was unavailable. Once she was assigned the job I messaged her to let her know about my pet dog as some housekeepers have been uncomfortable with him being loose when they are working. She replied really quickly to confirm that he wouldn't be a problem. She arrived right within the agreed timeslot and was able to take care of the weekly clean quickly and efficiently. I'll be adding her to my favourites in case we need cover in future. She was polite and friendly and did a great job on the flat.

Have used her continuosly for weeks now and she's superb as always. Does an excellent job of cleaning through out the house from the bathrooms, to stairs, landing and the kitchen. Scrubs off all the dirt / stains in very hard to reach areas and even corners you'll barely notice. She's very thorough & meticulous, doesn't just do a touch surface, but will go above and beyond to leave your enitre space as immaculate as possible. She really does a good job. Will highly recommend Drite.
