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?

Cleaners can collect keys from a key safe, neighbour or estate agent (within a ten-minute walk of the property).

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.

The two guys that came to clean were very efficient and thorough. Even though I had not booked an oven clean with the my after build clean, they still cleaned the oven and also accommodated my other requests.

My flat went from covered in builders dust and quite chaotic to sparkling clean and in order. Really lovely people, too. Thank you so much :) this took a lot of stress out of the final day of renovating before we move in.

Mario and Jennifer were amazing! So polite and friendly, nothing was too much trouble, they really went above and beyond to get everything absolutely perfect and were super adaptable to what I needed. Honestly couldn't have imagined better service. The flat is now looking brilliant, and I felt so reassured by their lovely can-do attitude too. What total stars!
