Builders clean or sparkle
The difference, what is included, and when to book each visit.
Builders clean
These are the questions that apply to every visit. A single service, such as plaster dust or glass, has its own answers on that page.

We do not publish a flat rate. A quote uses the room count, whether the dust is light decoration or a full re-skim, how much glass and paint spotting there is, and if you need a second sparkle visit. Stairs, parking, and a flat with no lift change the time. Send photos and the postcode on the form and we price that property, not a generic house.
The builders clean takes construction dust, stickers, and debris once the dusty trades have finished. The sparkle clean is the later detail for glass, units, and floors, after snagging paint. Booking only a sparkle on a house that is still white with plaster dust does not work.
One room, with a vacuum that traps fine dust, is reasonable. A household machine that blows dust out of the exhaust makes it worse. A whole house after skimming usually fails at radiators, tracks, and the tops of door linings.
Plaster dust does not grow back. It falls later from radiators and tracks, or someone sands again. We clean those hiding places. If a decorator returns after us, that new dust is a new visit.
We do not remove asbestos, strip lead paint, hire a skip, repaint, reseal showers, sand floors, jet-wash roofs, or provide a weekly office clean. Light offcuts on the floor leave with the clean. A plot still full of plasterboard needs clearance first.
Where the diary is open we can attend the same week, including a handover date. Same-day depends on what is already booked and whether the plaster is actually dry.
Yes. Houses, plots, and fit-outs are all quoted from the area and the stage of the work. A live site with saws still running is not a finished clean.
Yes. Handovers and fit-outs often fall on a weekend. Put the date in the form.
