What an after builders clean actually includes
A real after builders clean isn't a hoover and a wipe. It's a three stage process: rough dust removal, detailed clean, final polish. Every surface, every track, every vent.
What's not included
Skip grade rubble, heavy debris and structural offcuts are typically a separate removal job not part of the clean. Surface debris and packaging can be removed where requested.
How to spec the job properly
Give the cleaning company: floor area in square metres, number of rooms, whether builders are fully finished, and whether the property is occupied or empty. A good company will visit before quoting on anything over £500.
