After Builders Cleaning

The post-project clean that lifts fine plaster dust and paint splatter, so a freshly finished room finally looks the part.

The after builders clean explained

After builders cleaning is the final step that turns a finished project into a finished room. Construction and renovation work leaves a layer of fine dust that settles into every surface, plus paint flecks, adhesive marks, sticker residue and debris that ordinary cleaning struggles with. This service is built for exactly that, bringing a newly worked space up to a move-in standard.

It can be a one-off after a single room or a whole-house job after a larger renovation. Tell us the size of the area and what work has been done, see a fixed price upfront and book a cleaner equipped for post-construction cleaning.

FAQs

After builders clean FAQs

Common questions about booking a after builders clean with Clearmate.

Why is after builders cleaning a specialist job?
Construction dust is extremely fine and settles repeatedly, so it needs the right method and equipment to remove properly rather than just move around. Specialist teams also know how to lift paint, adhesive and grout haze without damaging new finishes.
When should the clean happen?
Ideally once all the dusty work is finished and tools have been cleared. Booking too early means dust resettles. Tell your cleaner what stage the project is at and they'll advise on timing.
Can you handle a whole-house renovation?
Yes. After builders cleaning scales from a single decorated room to an entire refurbishment. Tell us the size of the job and we'll book a cleaner equipped for it.
Is this different from a deep clean?
It overlaps, but post-construction work focuses on fine dust and builders' residue rather than everyday grime. For a renovated home, an after builders clean is the right starting point.
How much does after builders cleaning cost?
After builders cleaning has a fixed price based on the size of the space and its condition. You'll see the price as you choose your options, before you pay.
How does Clearmate work?
Choose the clean you need and tell us a little about your home. We work out a clear price as you go, so you see exactly what you'll pay. Pick a date, pay securely online, and a trusted, vetted cleaner is booked in. Your booking is confirmed straight away.
How much does a cleaner cost?
It depends on the clean. Regular and one-off home cleaning is priced by the hour, while deep cleans, end-of-tenancy, after-builders, carpet and oven cleaning have a fixed price based on the size of your home. Either way, you see the exact price before you pay, with no hidden fees.
Are your cleaners insured?
Yes. Every Clearmate cleaner is vetted and insured, so you can book with complete confidence. If anything isn't right, get in touch and we'll put it right.
What if I'm not happy with the clean?
Tell us within 72 hours and we'll put it right, normally by sending your cleaner back to sort out anything that was missed, at no extra charge. Just reply to your booking confirmation email or get in touch, and we'll arrange it quickly.
Do I need to provide cleaning products and equipment?
For home cleaning, please have your everyday equipment ready, such as a vacuum, mop and bucket, plus your usual products and cloths, so your cleaner can work the way you like and use anything particular or eco-friendly you prefer. Specialist cleans like oven, carpet and after-builders come with the professional products and equipment the job needs. If you'd prefer your cleaner to bring products for a standard clean, just add a note when you book.
Can I book a one-off clean, or only regular visits?
Both. Book a one-off deep clean, end-of-tenancy or after-builders clean, or set up a regular weekly, fortnightly or monthly visit. Choose the frequency that suits you when you book.
How quickly can a cleaner start?
Often within a few days, and sooner when there's availability. Tell us when you'd like the clean (as soon as possible, this week, next week or flexible) and we'll book a cleaner who can match your timing.
What if I need to change or cancel my booking?
Plans change. You can reschedule or cancel your booking, and we'll let you know our notice window when you book. Just get in touch and we'll sort it out.
Is my booking backed by a guarantee?
Yes. Every clean comes with the Clearmate guarantee: if something isn't right, let us know within 72 hours and we'll arrange a free re-clean to make it good. Our cleaners are vetted and insured too, so you can book with confidence.
