FAQs
How is an after builders clean different to a normal clean?
Renovation leaves fine plaster and dust settled on every surface, plus paint splatter, sticky residue and often a heavier amount of debris than a standard clean handles. We work top-to-bottom to lift dust before it resettles, rather than just wiping visible surfaces.
Do you remove paint splatter and plaster dust?
Yes — paint splatter on floors, sanitaryware and glass, plus plaster dust in corners, on skirtings and light fittings, are all part of a standard after builders clean.
Can you clean a new build before we move in?
Yes — new build sparkle cleans are one of our most common after builders jobs, covering window tracks, kitchen cabinets inside and out, and removing manufacturer stickers and protective film.
Do you clean windows and window tracks after building work?
Yes — internal windows and tracks are included, since builders' dust and sealant residue collect heavily in tracks and sills.
How soon after the builders leave can you come in?
Ideally at least a day after all dust-generating work — sanding, cutting, tiling and skimming — has finished, with the property closed up rather than still being worked in. Cleaning earlier usually means a second visit once the last dust settles.
Do you charge more for heavy renovation dust?
After builders cleans are quoted after photos rather than off a standard price list, since dust levels and the scope of works vary a lot job to job — you'll always get a fixed price before we book.
Do carpets need cleaning after building work?
Usually, if they were down while the trades were in. Fine dust and boot traffic press grit deep into the pile, which vacuuming alone won't lift — hot-water extraction does, and we can quote it alongside the builders clean.
Can you clean an occupied house mid-renovation?
Yes, though it's normally better value to wait until the dusty trades are done. If you need the living areas usable in between, tell us which rooms matter and we'll quote a partial clean instead of the whole property.
Do you cover new build sites outside Barnsley?
Yes — Barnsley (S70–S75) is our core patch, and we take renovation and new build work across Rotherham, Wakefield, Sheffield and Doncaster where the schedule allows.
Why builders dust needs a proper deep clean
Plaster and construction dust is extremely fine and settles into everything — light fittings, cupboard interiors, window tracks and skirting boards — long after visible surfaces look clean. A standard domestic clean often just moves this dust around, so it resettles within a day or two.
It also behaves differently to household dust when it gets wet. Damp-wiping plaster dust smears it into a thin cement-like film on satin paintwork, matt tiles and glass, which is much harder to remove than the dust was. That's why every surface here is taken back dry first — filtered vacuum and dry passes — before anything wet is used.
Room-by-room order we work in
- High level first: coving, door tops, frames, picture rails and pendant fittings
- Extract vents, smoke alarms and radiator tops, fins and the wall behind
- Skirtings, sockets, switches and thermostat surrounds
- Glass, then frames, then window tracks and trickle vents
- Kitchen and bathroom units inside, on top and underneath, including runners and hinge recesses
- Sealant and silicone residue lifted off new tiles, screens and sanitaryware
- Floors vacuumed with a filtered vacuum, then washed as the final pass
New build sparkle cleans
A new build handover clean is detailing rather than heavy cleaning — nothing has been used, so the work is protective film, sticker adhesive, manufacturing dust and sealant residue on brand-new surfaces that mark easily.
- Protective film and stickers removed from appliances and fittings
- Kitchen cabinets cleaned inside and out before first use
- Window tracks cleared of sealant residue and dust
- Floors given a final wash once all dust-generating work is finished
Post-renovation clean or a new build sparkle clean?
- Occupied renovation: dust has spread into lived-in rooms, so wardrobes, soft furnishings and carpets are part of the job
- New build handover: no soiling, but every surface is unmarked and needs careful film, adhesive and residue removal
- Extension or single room: usually the cheapest option, and often paired with a carpet clean in the adjoining room
- Both are quoted from photos, so you know the price before anyone turns up
Timing your after builders clean
Book at least a day after the final dust-generating trade — sanding, cutting, tiling or skimming — has left, with the property closed up rather than still being worked in. Dust keeps falling for a day or two after the noise stops, so cleaning too early means the property looks finished for about 24 hours and then greys over again.
A fitter coming back for a handle, filter or light switch doesn't undo a clean, so don't hold the whole job up for small snagging. If you're unsure, send us the trades' finish date on WhatsApp and we'll tell you the sensible day to book.
