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.

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

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.

I booked an end of build clean on Friday, to happen early on a Sunday morning. My cleaners texted me in the morning to confirm when they would arrive and were extremely prompt. They did a fantastic job of removing all traces of dust and have left my house spotless and ready to move into. I am really happy with the standard of their work, their communcation and the Housekeep service.

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!
