Scope
What we clean depends on how far the build got and how much dust has settled, so tell us the stage and we'll match the scope to it.
Stage by stage
Once the builder has cleared rubble and offcuts, we start by knocking down the worst of it: loose plaster, swept-up debris, and the thick dust sitting on floors, ledges, and high surfaces. This rough pass gets the bulk out so the detailed work isn't fighting through a layer of grit.
This is the deep stage. We work top down to remove plaster dust, cement haze, paint specks, silicone smears, and adhesive from glass, tiling, fittings, and hard floors. Fine builders' dust keeps drifting back down for hours, so we let the air settle and go over surfaces more than once rather than wiping a sill that grit just resettles on. A standard domestic clean tends to recirculate this fine dust with an ordinary vacuum and a dry cloth, which is why we use a specialist approach, including HEPA filtration that traps the fine particles instead of pushing them back into the air.
After the dust has had time to settle, we do a final detail pass: polishing glass, mirrors, and chrome, buffing off any last haze, and catching the surfaces that caught fresh dust during the main clean. It helps to allow roughly 24 to 48 hours after the trades finish before this stage, so the bulk of airborne dust has dropped and the finish actually holds.

So there are no surprises, here is what sits outside the standard clean. Several of these can be added on request.
Common problems
Typical timings
These are rough industry guide times, not a fixed quote; heavy dust or a second settling pass can add to them, so we confirm scope and price against a checklist before booking.
| Property size | Typical time |
|---|---|
| Single room after a small job | 2 to 4 hours |
| New kitchen or bathroom fit-out | 3 to 6 hours |
| 1 to 2 bed flat refurbishment | 5 to 8 hours |
| 3 to 4 bed house renovation | 1 to 2 days |
| Large or whole-property new build | 2 days or more, often split |
Pricing factors
No fixed prices. Scope, condition, and access all feed into the final figure.

FAQs
It's from £16 per hour with a minimum booking, which suits a single room or a tidy-up after a small job. For a whole renovation or a new-build we'd rather quote on the job once we know the size and how dusty it is, so you get one figure up front instead of watching the clock.
Builders' dust is fine and it hangs in the air for hours. You wipe a sill, the dust settles back onto it from the curtains and the loft hatch, and an hour later it looks like nobody touched it. On a big job we clean, let it settle, then go back over the surfaces, and sometimes a short second visit a few days later is the honest answer rather than pretending one pass will hold.
No, that's the builder's job and it should be in their contract. We clear dust, haze, paint specks and the mess left behind, not bags of plasterboard, tile offcuts, or a skip's worth of debris. If there's still building waste on site when we arrive we can only work around it, so it's worth chasing the builder first.
We're careful with brand-new fittings. Plaster and silicone come off glass and stone with the right pads and a bit of patience, not a blade dragged across dry. Tell us what's just been fitted so we treat it gently.
Once the trades are done and tools and materials are off site. We can't clean properly around someone still cutting tiles or with paint pots open, and fresh dust from ongoing work undoes what we've done.
No, we cover the inside. Exterior render, brickwork, driveways, and outside windows aren't part of an after-builders clean. If you want outdoor glass or a patio sorted we can quote that as a separate job, but it's not included by default.
Yes, running water and mains power need to be on. We use vacuums and electric kit, and we need water for rinsing haze off glass, tiles, and floors. If either is still being connected, let us know when you book so we can plan the visit around it.
Builders' dust is far finer than household dust and it gets everywhere. An ordinary vacuum and a dry cloth tend to lift it and push it straight back into the air, where it resettles within the hour. We use HEPA filtration that traps the fine particles, work in stages, and wash haze off rather than smearing it, which a standard domestic clean isn't set up to do.
