Why SN Cleaning Services · After builders cleaning
We tell you how many cleaners and how long
Most after builders cleans are sold at a fixed price for the size of the property. What you don't see is how long the cleaner actually stays. With us you know before we start: how many cleaners are coming and how many hours they will spend in your home. After builders cleaning is about time, and we give it the time it needs.

We understand
Builders' dust is on every centimetre
This surprises a lot of people. Even when the builders have left the place fairly tidy, an after builders clean takes more time than a dirty house. The dust is everywhere, on every centimetre. Professional products, good equipment and experience help a lot when there's paint to remove, but they can't speed up the dust. It just needs time.
Many cleaning companies see after builders cleaning as a money making job. They give you a fixed price, send someone for a couple of hours and keep the margin. That's not how we work. I haven't met a company that spends more time on an after builders clean than we do. If we charge the same as someone else, we always spend more time.
You've waited a long time for the work to finish. When you walk back in, you should be looking at what's new and enjoying it, not starting to clean.
What we do differently
What's different when you book us
-
You know the team and the hours
Before we book, we tell you how many cleaners are coming and how long they will spend. You know exactly what you're getting.
-
Extra time agreed with you first
If the builders have left a complete mess and the job needs more time, we talk to you and agree the extra time, and the extra cost, before we carry on.
-
Our show up guarantee
We have systems in place so our cleaners arrive on the day and at the time you booked. If something outside our control happens, your clean is still done within 12 hours, or it's free. An afternoon booking, for example, would move to first thing the next morning.
-
Our satisfaction guarantee
If someone checks the property after we leave and finds a spot we missed, we come back and put it right, completely free.
-
Cleaners with an eye for detail
After builders cleaning needs a really sharp eye for detail. Cleaners who mostly do regular cleans can be brilliant in a home they know, but in my experience they don't perform well here. We train our own team for it.
-
Professional products and equipment
Where paint or mess has been left behind, the products you use, the equipment and the experience of the cleaner make a big difference. Our team works with professional grade products.

Trusted by landlords and construction companies
I started as a cleaner myself and built SN Cleaning Services from there, and we've been cleaning for 12 years. In the last couple of years we've worked with landlords and with construction companies who hand finished homes back to their clients. A good construction company doesn't want to give a client a dusty house, so they send them to us.
“I had a great experience with SN Cleaning Services! They arrived right on time; the service was excellent—thorough and efficient. I’m happy with the results and would recommend!”
“Cleaning service is reliable and efficient. Excellent work from Amelia. Receive weekly confirmation by text of next cleaning date. Happy to recommend Silvia Nedeva and her team.”
“Great service, pleasantly surprised. I was so worried but they did a really good job.”
FAQs
Your questions about after builders cleaning, answered
How much does an after builders clean cost?
After builders cleaning starts from £179. Before you book, we tell you how many cleaners are coming and how long they will spend, and you see your price.
Why do you tell me how many cleaners and how many hours?
Because after builders cleaning is about time. A fixed price for the size of the property tells you nothing about how long someone will actually spend in your home. We want you to know what you're getting.
The builders left the place tidy. Why does it still take so long?
Even a tidy site takes time, because the dust is on every centimetre. Products, equipment and experience help with paint and heavy mess, but they can't speed up the dust. It just needs time, so we give it that time.
What if the builders left a complete mess?
Then the job might need more time than we planned. If that happens, we talk to you and agree the extra time, and the extra cost, before we carry on.
Will you add extra time without asking me?
No. Any extra time is agreed with you first.
Can you deal with paint left behind by the builders?
Yes. Where paint has been left behind, the professional products and equipment we use, and the experience of our cleaners, make a big difference.
How do you spend more time than other companies?
Many companies send someone for a couple of hours and keep the margin. We don't. I haven't met a company that spends more time on an after builders clean than we do, and if we charge the same as someone else, we always spend more time.
How many cleaners will you send?
It depends on the size of the job, and it's all about performance. We usually only send a team for jobs of 6 plus hours. On a short job, two cleaners lose time settling in at the start and finishing at the end, and that adds up to almost an hour.
Can I have just one cleaner?
Yes. We recommend one cleaner for up to 8 hours. Over 8 hours anyone gets tired and the work suffers, so for longer jobs we send a team.
Do you work with construction companies?
Yes. We work with construction companies who hand finished homes back to their clients. A good construction company doesn't want to leave a client with a dusty house.
My builder's quote didn't include cleaning. Can I book you separately?
Yes. Construction companies often work to a tight budget, and cleaning is often left out of it. We offer one off after builders cleans directly to their clients, so you can come home to a clean house.
Do you work with landlords?
Yes. We work with landlords as well as homeowners and construction companies.
What is your show up guarantee?
We have systems in place so our cleaners arrive on the day and at the time you booked. If something outside our control happens, your clean is still done within 12 hours, or we do it for free.
What happens if something goes wrong on the day?
We don't just cancel. We still handle your booking and get it done within 12 hours. If your clean was booked for the afternoon, for example, it would move to first thing the next morning.
How do you make sure your cleaners turn up?
We check on our cleaners early in the morning and again late in the afternoon, so we know they're on track.
What if I find a spot you missed?
If you or anyone else checks the property after we leave and finds a spot we missed, we come back and put it right, completely free of charge.
Can any cleaner do an after builders clean?
In my experience, no. After builders cleaning needs a sharp eye for detail. Cleaners who mostly do regular cleans get used to the same homes and the same routine, and many areas an after builders clean needs are never touched on a regular clean.
Are your cleaners your own team?
Yes. Every cleaner is part of our own trained, insured and DBS checked team. We never send random people.
How do you train your cleaners?
We look for people who are happy and open to learn, rather than people with years of habits. Everyone has a trial first. Then they work alongside one of our cleaners, usually for 2 to 4 weeks. For the first one to two months working on their own, we check their work at least 3 times a week.
Do you bring your own products and equipment?
Yes. Our team brings professional grade products and the equipment the job needs.
