Dust removed, not moved
Top-down vacuuming and wiping stops dust resettling on cleaned surfaces.
Quoted per job
After builders clean
Building work leaves dust in places you didn't know existed. We clean it out so you can actually start using the space.
- Homes after a kitchen or bathroom refit
- Extensions, loft conversions and refurbishments
- Landlords finishing works before a new let
Clearing up after the trades have gone
Even a tidy builder leaves fine dust behind. It settles on every ledge, inside cupboards, on window frames and in floor joints, and it keeps reappearing until it's properly removed. We work from the top down, vacuuming and wiping each surface so the dust doesn't simply move around the room.
Renovations, extensions, new kitchens and decorating all leave the same problem behind: a layer of fine dust over everything and residue on new surfaces. An after builders clean turns a finished project into a room you can actually use.
We're usually booked once the trades have finished and the debris has gone. Let us know what work was done and when, and we'll plan the clean so the space is ready to use. New floors can be finished on the same visit.
Why book after builders

Prices
After builders clean prices
After builders cleans are quoted individually once we know the type of work, the rooms affected and the floor types.
What affects the price
- Type of building or decorating work
- Amount of dust and residue
- Number of rooms
- Floors, windows and extras
Before we arrive
- Make sure the building work in the cleaned rooms is finished
- Remove large debris, rubble and leftover materials
- Keep power and water on
- Let us know about any newly finished surfaces
Being honest about results
- We remove dust and residue, but we don't remove builders' waste or large debris.
- Paint or adhesive that has cured on delicate surfaces may not come off safely.
- Dust can keep settling for a day or two after works; a follow-up visit can be arranged.
