After Builders Cleaning in Brentwood

After Builders Cleaning in Brentwood

What is included in an after builders clean in Brentwood?

An after builders clean removes the dust and marks that building work leaves on every surface. We clean walls, skirting boards, light fittings, vents and sills, wipe every cupboard and drawer inside and out, clean internal windows and frames, lift paint splashes and tape residue where they come off safely, and finish the floors.

We work from the top of each room down, because dust falls as you go. In a new kitchen that means the tops of wall units first, then the doors, the insides of the drawers and the worktops, and the floor last. In a refitted bathroom we take the grout haze off new tile, polish the taps and clean the shower screen. Packaging, offcuts and small debris are bagged and cleared; skips and large construction debris need arranging separately with your builder or a waste company.

When should you book a builders clean after an extension or loft conversion?

Make your booking for the builders clean once every trade has finished, not just the main builder. Decorators, electricians fitting covers and flooring fitters all make fresh dust, so a clean done in between usually has to be done again. If the work runs late, tell us and we can look at a new date.

On a Shenfield or Hutton extension the last visit is often the floor going down or the final coat of paint. If you need to move back in before the flooring arrives, some people book a clean of the rooms they'll use now and a second, lighter clean once the work is finished. A clean floor also makes snags easy to spot before you sign off with your builder.

Why does builders dust keep settling after the work is done?

Plaster and sanding dust is so fine that it hangs in the air and drifts into places you can't see: inside cupboards, behind drawer runners, in window tracks and inside extractor and air vents. Wiping the obvious surfaces isn't enough, because it falls out of those hidden spots for days afterwards.

That's why our cleaners open every cupboard, run along the window tracks and clean the vent covers as part of every after builders clean. Loft conversions are a good example: the dust from cutting into the roof travels down the stairs into rooms that were never touched. If something we cleaned isn't right, tell us within 24 hours and we'll come back and clean it again.

How much does after builders cleaning cost in Brentwood?

After builders cleaning in Brentwood starts from £179. The final price depends on the property size and the renovation work done, so a single bathroom refit costs less than a whole house after a loft and extension. Click Get a quote, tell us about the work, and we'll send you a price.

It helps to tell us how many rooms were worked on, whether the house is empty or lived in, and anything delicate, such as exposed beams or old brick in a village cottage. The more we know, the better we can plan the right number of cleaners and the time it will take. If the property is a rental changing tenants rather than a renovation, an end of tenancy clean may suit you better, and we'll tell you which cleaning service fits.
