Every after builders cleaning booking with Cleanny comes with the same promises: a vetted, insured professional; a price you see and approve before anyone arrives; equipment and professional products included; and our written 48-hour re-clean guarantee. We operate across Greater London, Reading, Oxford and Cambridge, seven days a week from 8am to 6pm, and booking online takes about 60 seconds.
Why builders' dust needs a specialist process
Fine construction dust behaves differently from household dust: it hangs in the air for days, works into every gap, and resettles on surfaces you cleaned yesterday. Chasing it with a normal vacuum mostly redistributes it. Our after-builders teams work strictly top-down — light fittings, walls and high surfaces first, floors last — using HEPA-grade vacuums that trap fine particles instead of exhausting them back into the room, with multiple passes on the surfaces that matter. Paint splatter, plaster residue, adhesive marks and protective film are dealt with using careful scraping and appropriate solvents, always tested discreetly on delicate finishes first.
From building site to move-in ready
The finish line of a renovation isn't when the builders leave — it's when you can walk in barefoot, open a cupboard without a puff of dust, and see out of clean glass. That's the standard our teams work to: kitchens and bathrooms detailed and sanitised, insides of cupboards and wardrobes dust-free, windows and frames polished, sockets and switches wiped, floors deep cleaned edge to edge. For major renovations we'll honestly advise whether a second lighter visit a week later is worth it to catch the final settling dust.
Timing, pricing and what we need from you
Book us for one to two days after the trades are fully out, once the heaviest dust has settled. Pricing is from £22 per hour per professional, with a team size and duration estimate confirmed before booking — describe the scale of the works and share photos if you have them for the most accurate quote. Builders should remove debris and heavy waste before we arrive; light packaging and normal bin waste is no problem.

Who books this service?
Our after builders clean clients are homeowners finishing renovations, developers completing projects, and builders who want to hand over a spotless finished job. Whatever brings you here, the outcome is the same: a renovation you can finally enjoy, dust-free and move-in ready — without you lifting a finger.
Preparing for your visit
You don't need to do much. Clear away personal valuables and anything fragile you'd rather handle yourself, let us know about parking, entry and pets in your booking notes, and tell us your priorities — the rooms, marks or areas that matter most to you get tackled first. You're welcome to be home during the clean or to leave entry instructions; every professional is vetted, insured and accountable either way. If anything about the property might affect timing (recent works, heavy limescale, a long time since the last professional clean), mention it honestly at booking so your quote and time estimate are accurate first time.

Why clients stay with Cleanny
Cleaning is a trust business. That’s why we publish our prices instead of quoting “on the day”, vet and insure every professional instead of subcontracting anonymously, and put our guarantee in writing on every booking. If anything about your clean isn’t right, one message within 48 hours brings a team back free of charge. It’s also why the majority of our work comes from repeat clients and recommendations.
Making the results last
After the clean, expect a small amount of residual fine dust to settle over the following days — it's the nature of renovation dust, not a missed clean, and a quick wipe deals with it. Run ventilation generously for the first week, change or clean HVAC and extractor filters that ran during the works, and vacuum with a HEPA filter for the first few weeks. For major renovations, our optional follow-up light visit a week later catches the last of it — then a regular domestic clean keeps your newly finished home exactly as the builders' photos promised.

Good to know
After Builders Cleaning — frequently asked questions
What does an after builders clean involve?
Removing fine construction dust from every surface — walls, woodwork, inside cupboards, light fittings — plus scraping paint and plaster splatter, removing protective film and stickers, polishing glass, and deep cleaning floors, kitchens and bathrooms to a move-in finish.
Why can’t a normal clean handle builders’ dust?
Construction dust is finer than household dust and keeps resettling for days. It needs a methodical top-down process, HEPA-grade vacuums and multiple passes — exactly what our after-builders teams are equipped for.
When should I book — straight after the builders leave?
Ideally 1–2 days after works finish, once trades are fully out. This lets the heaviest dust settle so our clean catches it, instead of dust resettling on cleaned surfaces.
Do you remove paint and plaster splashes?
Yes — careful scraping and appropriate solvents deal with splatter on glass, tiles and hard floors. We’ll always test discreetly first on delicate finishes.
How long does it take?
Depends entirely on the scale of works — a refitted kitchen might take 3–4 hours; a full renovation can take a team a day or more. Describe the project at booking and we’ll quote time and price.
Is one visit enough?
Usually yes with the right timing. For major renovations some clients book a second lighter visit a week later to catch the final settling dust — we’ll advise honestly.
Do you take away rubbish or debris?
We handle cleaning rather than waste removal — builders should remove debris and heavy waste. Light packaging and normal bin waste is fine.
How is it priced?
From £22 per hour per professional, with a team-size and duration estimate confirmed before booking based on your description and photos if you have them.
