The problem

The handover date is set, the home is not presentable yet

At handover the buyer, tenant or client does not look at the structure, they look at the windowsill. A paint splash on the glass, a sticker on the tap or a layer of dust in a kitchen drawer become snagging points, and every point is another trip back to the project. A good builders clean removes those points before anyone writes them on a list.

Cement, sealant and glue on tiles and frames only come off with the right product per material, not with force
Protective film left on too long leaves adhesive on aluminium and uPVC
Fine construction dust sits in cupboards, on ledges and in window and sliding door runners
Handing over one home after another needs a fixed order, not separate cleaning visits
When you need it

Who we do builders cleaning for

Most requests come from people handing over more than one space at a time. Private renovators are just as welcome.

Contractors handing over a new-build home or a row of homes
Property developers needing a new-build handover clean per unit or per floor
Housing associations after renovation or major maintenance, home by home
Office and shop renovations before the tenant moves in
Private owners after their own renovation, before the furniture comes back
How it works

How a handover clean works with us

We plan back from your handover date, not forward from the day the contractor leaves.

1

Video and handover date

Send a short video of the space, photos of the tricky spots if you like, the m² or number of units and the planned handover date. Above 200 m² we can also visit the project.

2

Fixed price per job

Within 2 hours by email. One fixed amount for the job, with what is included written out point by point below it. Never an hourly rate, so you know where you stand beforehand.

3

Planning around the handover

After accepting you pick a preferred moment and our planner confirms it. With several units we set an order, so each home is clean on the day it is handed over.

4

Final clean and walk-through

We work top to bottom and back to front, towards the door. Then we walk it with the site manager, so any point is solved on the spot.

What we do not do in builders cleaning

We do not remove building waste or rubble: bulk debris goes in the contractor’s skip, we only take the film and stickers we remove ourselves. We do not work at height, so no scaffolding, lifts or roofs, only from the floor, a small step ladder or the ground. We do not sand or varnish. And honestly: after the final clean a small amount of fine dust may still settle, as it is still in the air and in the installations. We put that in the terms as well.

Pricing

What builders cleaning costs depends on

We charge per job, never per hour. What sets the price is best seen on a video: how much residue is left and how large the area is.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does builders cleaning cost?
It depends on the area and how much residue is left. You get a fixed price per job by email within 2 hours, based on a short video and the m².
Can you clean several homes in a row for handover?
Yes. Give us the number of units and the handover dates and we set a fixed order, so each home is clean on its handover day.
Can you work while other trades are still on site?
Yes, as long as the space we clean is finished. Work may continue elsewhere in the building. If someone drills or sands in the same room after our clean, that dust comes back, so plan us last in that room.
Is a new-build handover clean different from one after a renovation?
A new build has more film, more stickers and more fine dust in new cupboards. After a renovation in a lived-in home the focus is more on splashes and dust in the surrounding rooms. The approach differs, the fixed price per job does not.
Do you remove building waste?
No. Bulk waste and rubble go in the contractor’s skip. We only take what we remove ourselves from the windows, frames and appliances.
Why no hourly rate?
Because at handover you want to know the cost in advance. With a fixed price per job the risk of it taking longer sits with us, not with you.

Is your handover date set?

Send a short video of the space, the m² and the handover date. You get a fixed price by email within 2 hours.
