After Builders Cleaning in Wickford

After Builders Cleaning in Wickford

What's included in a builders clean?

We work from the top of each room down, removing fine dust from light fittings, door tops, frames, skirting boards, radiators and sockets, then inside cupboards, drawers and wardrobes. Cleaning windows on the inside is part of the job: glass, frames, sills and tracks, with stickers and labels removed. Paint splashes and plaster spots are lifted from glass, tiles and hard floors wherever it's safe.

In kitchens and bathrooms we clear grout haze and adhesive from new tiles, silicone smears and dust inside new units and appliances. Floors are vacuumed and washed, usually twice, because dust keeps settling out of the air, and every surface gets a final wipe before we leave.

Should I book the clean before or after snagging?

After. Book the clean once every trade has finished and the paint is dry, but before furniture and carpets go back in. If snagging repairs are still to come, wait for them, or the new dust will undo the work. Asking your builder for the date the last trade leaves makes it easy to book us for the next day.

We need electricity and water on. Builders' waste should be cleared before we arrive; if you're paying someone to take it away, check their waste carrier licence on the Environment Agency register, because you can be held responsible if your waste is fly tipped.

How long does an after builders clean take?

That depends on the size of the property and how much dust the work produced. One room after a new kitchen or bathroom may take a few hours, while a whole house after an extension or full refurbishment usually needs a team for most of the day. Tell us what work was done and send photos when you ask for a quote so we can plan the right team.

Self employed cleaner or cleaning company: who should do it?

Plenty of people find a self employed cleaner for an after builders clean through word of mouth or local services listings. Whoever you use, check they're insured, ask how many people will come and whether they have professional equipment for removing fine dust and paint splashes. Families and carers organising work for an elderly relative often prefer a company that can do the whole job and come back if anything's missed.

SN Cleaning Services is based in Brentwood and cleans homes across Wickford, Basildon and the rest of Essex. Every cleaner is part of our own team, trained by us, insured and DBS checked.

Which other cleaning services in Wickford can be booked with a builders clean?

Plenty of homeowners combine the after builders clean with another service, because the dust from building work rarely stays in one room. A move in clean or a one off deep clean of the rest of the house gets everything to the same standard, and our cleaners in Wickford can add oven cleaning when you book, carpet and upholstery cleaning for soft furnishings that sat through the work, and internal window cleaning with polishing of glass, mirrors and chrome. If the property is a rental, end of tenancy cleaning gets it ready for the next tenant, and once you've settled in, regular domestic cleaning keeps it that way.

Our cleaning prices depend on the property size and the work done, so the price for a two bedroom flat after a new bathroom is very different from a four bedroom house after a full refurbishment. Every clean follows a checklist: we descale new taps and showers, wipe away building materials residue, and finish with a proper top to bottom clean. We're a professional cleaning company for homes only; commercial cleaning is handled by our sister company, SN Clean.

How much does after builders cleaning cost in Wickford?

After builders cleaning in Wickford starts from £179. Your price depends on the size of the property and what the work left behind, and Get a quote shows it before you book. If anything isn't right afterwards, tell us within 24 hours and we'll come back and clean it again free of charge.

Carpets usually take the worst of the dust, so you can add professional carpet cleaning from £49, and upholstery cleaning from £69 for furniture that stayed in the house during the work.
