Post-construction cleaning can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re preparing a home after a renovation or handling a new build, our expert team ensures that your space is ready for immediate occupancy—spotless, safe, and dust-free.
How we clean: step-by-step approach
Our post-construction cleaning process is thorough, systematic, and designed to tackle the toughest cleaning challenges left after construction. Here’s how we get the job done:
- Debris removal: We begin by removing all large debris, leftover materials, and construction waste. This includes scrap materials, plastic coverings, packaging, and other waste that accumulates during the building process.
- Surface cleaning and dusting: Our team then moves on to cleaning all surfaces, ensuring that every corner is free of dust and dirt. We use high-efficiency vacuum systems and microfiber cloths to prevent dust from resettling. Special attention is paid to areas where fine construction dust tends to accumulate, such as:
- Skirting boards
- Windowsills
- Light fixtures
- Ceiling fans
- Vents and ducts
- Floor and wall cleaning: Post-construction work can leave marks, stains, and dirt on your floors and walls. We use appropriate cleaning methods depending on the type of flooring:
- Tile or stone floors: Mopping and scrubbing with safe, non-abrasive cleaners.
- Carpets: Professional vacuuming, followed by deep cleaning for embedded dust.
- Wooden floors: Gentle cleaning to avoid scratches or damage.
- Window and glass cleaning: All windows, mirrors, and glass partitions are cleaned and polished to remove smudges, fingerprints, and any adhesive residue from construction materials. We ensure that the glass is streak-free and spotless.
- Sanitisation of kitchens and bathrooms: We provide a detailed clean of kitchen and bathroom spaces, focusing on removing grout, leftover construction debris, and sanitizing sinks, bathtubs, toilets, and other high-touch surfaces. We ensure all plumbing fixtures and appliances are clean and ready for use.
- Final touches: We perform a final walkthrough to address any remaining spots or imperfections. From door handles to light switches, we make sure no detail is overlooked.
