AFTER THE WORK IS DONE
Finished Renovating? There's Usually Cleaning Left to Do.
Whether you've had one room updated or the whole property refurbished, building work has a way of leaving dust behind. The cleaning needed will depend on what's been done and how much of the property has been affected.
A Newly Fitted Kitchen or Bathroom
The new fittings are in place, but there may still be dust on the cabinets, tiles, surfaces and floor. Tell us what needs attention so we can discuss the cleaning required.
Extensions, Plastering & Decorating
Even work in one part of the house can leave dust in places you didn't expect. Let us know which rooms were affected and whether the work has finished.

A CLOSER LOOK AT THE CLEANING
What Can Be Included in an After Builders Clean?
After building work, different parts of a property can need different kinds of attention. Some surfaces collect fine dust, while newly fitted rooms may need cleaning around cupboards, fixtures and flooring.
We'll agree on the rooms and tasks before the visit. The examples below can help you describe what needs cleaning when you request your quote.
Surfaces, Doors & Fittings
Fine dust can settle on shelves, door frames and the smaller details around a room. These are often the areas people notice once the building work is over.
See typical tasks for Surfaces, Doors & Fittings
- Accessible shelves and ledges
- Skirting boards
- Internal door surfaces and frames
- Window sills
- Accessible fixtures and fittings
- Other agreed surfaces affected by settled dust
Kitchens & Fitted Units
Once cabinets, worktops and appliances have been fitted, the surrounding surfaces may still need a careful clean before the room feels ready to use.
See typical tasks for Kitchens & Fitted Units
- Worktops and splashbacks
- Sink and taps
- Accessible cupboard exteriors
- Accessible appliance exteriors
- Accessible tiles
- Floors and other agreed kitchen areas
Bathrooms & Tiled Areas
New bathroom fittings and tiles can be left with dust or marks from the final stages of fitting. The cleaning required will depend on the surfaces and their condition.
See typical tasks for Bathrooms & Tiled Areas
- Washbasins and taps
- Toilets
- Baths and shower fittings
- Mirrors
- Accessible tiled surfaces
- Floors and agreed bathroom fittings
Floors & Finishing Details
Floors, glass and other finishing details can show dust and marks long after the tools have been packed away. Tell us what materials have been installed so the work can be assessed.
See typical tasks for Floors & Finishing Details
- Accessible hard-floor surfaces
- Accessible carpeted areas, where suitable
- Door handles and accessible fittings
- Accessible interior glass, if offered
- Accessible frames and sills
- Other agreed finishing details
The checklist is a guide to the types of cleaning you can ask about. Not every task is included in every job, and some surfaces or marks may need a different cleaning method or specialist service. We'll confirm the scope in your quotation.
IT'S OFTEN THE LITTLE THINGS
The Work Looks Finished. Then You Notice the Dust.
You've waited for the new room to come together. The cabinets are fitted, the decorating is done, and then you spot dust along the skirting boards or on the window sill.
That's why an after builders clean needs to be planned around the work that's taken place. We'll ask about the rooms, surfaces and condition of the property before agreeing what can be cleaned.
- Settled Dust
- Let us know where dust has collected and which rooms were affected by the work.
- New & Delicate Surfaces
- Tell us about new worktops, flooring, tiles or other finishes that may need particular care.
- Finishing Marks
- If there are paint spots, plaster marks or adhesive residue, mention them when enquiring so we can assess whether they fall within the cleaning work available.
BEFORE THE CLEANING VISIT
Is Your Property Ready for an After Builders Clean?
The best time to discuss cleaning is when you know what's left to finish. A little information about the property and the remaining work helps us understand what's practical.
Has the Building Work Finished?
Let us know whether the builders have completed their work or if any trades are still due back.
Are the Rooms Accessible?
Tell us if tools, materials or furniture are still blocking the areas that need cleaning.
What Surfaces Have Been Installed?
New flooring, tiles, worktops and other finishes may need particular care. Include any important details in your enquiry.
Is There Any Leftover Waste?
Let us know about building materials, rubble or other waste still on site. General cleaning and construction-waste removal are different services.
Some Jobs Need Separate Arrangements
Large building waste, hazardous materials, specialist residue removal and work in unsafe or unfinished areas aren't automatically part of an after builders clean. Please tell us about anything unusual before requesting a quotation so we can establish the appropriate next step.

A QUOTE BASED ON THE WORK
How Much Does After Builders Cleaning Cost in Cardiff?
A newly fitted bathroom may need a different amount of cleaning from a house that's just had an extension completed. That's why the cost depends on the work involved, not simply the number of bedrooms.
We'll consider the property's size, the rooms affected, the level of dust and the cleaning tasks requested. Tell us about the project and we'll prepare a quotation for the work we can provide.
Size of the Property
The number and size of affected rooms help determine the amount of cleaning needed.
Type of Building Work
A bathroom refit, kitchen renovation or larger refurbishment can leave different cleaning requirements.
Dust & Surface Condition
The amount of settled dust, marks and the types of surfaces involved can affect the work required.
Access & Additional Work

QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BOOK
After Builders Cleaning FAQs
What does after builders cleaning include?
An after builders clean can cover agreed areas affected by renovation work, such as kitchens, bathrooms, floors, internal doors, fittings and accessible surfaces. The exact checklist depends on the property and will be confirmed in your quotation.
How much does after builders cleaning cost in Cardiff?
The price depends on the property's size, the extent of the building work, the level of dust and the tasks involved. Tell us what work has been completed and which rooms need cleaning so we can prepare a quotation.
Do the builders need to finish before the cleaning starts?
Tell us whether building work has finished and if any trades still need access. We'll review whether the property is ready for the cleaning work requested.
Can you clean just one room after renovation?
You can enquire about a single renovated room, such as a kitchen or bathroom. Let us know the work completed and the cleaning needed so we can check the options.
Do you remove paint, plaster or cement marks?
Please mention any paint splashes, plaster marks, grout haze or cement residue when requesting a quote. Some marks require specialist treatment or may not be suitable for general cleaning, so we'll need to assess the work before confirming what's possible.
Do you take away building rubble or waste?
Construction waste and larger building materials are not automatically included in an after builders clean. Tell us what remains at the property so we can clarify the cleaning scope and any separate arrangements needed.
Can you clean new floors and fitted kitchens?
Tell us which flooring, worktops, cabinets and other finishes have been installed. We'll review the surfaces involved and agree on the cleaning tasks that are appropriate for the property.
How long does an after builders clean take?
The time depends on the number of affected rooms, the amount of settled dust, the condition of the property and the work agreed. We'll consider these details when preparing your quotation.
Is after builders cleaning different from deep cleaning?
Yes. After builders cleaning is intended for properties affected by building or renovation work. A general deep clean is more suited to a home needing extra attention to everyday dirt and grime. If no building work has taken place, our one-off deep cleaning service may be a better fit.
What is a sparkle clean after building work?
A sparkle clean usually refers to a final, detailed clean intended to improve the presentation of a property after the main building work and heavier cleaning have been completed. If you've been asked to arrange a sparkle clean, tell us what stage the property has reached so we can discuss the requirements.
Can landlords or contractors request after builders cleaning?
Landlords, property managers and contractors can enquire about cleaning after refurbishment work. Share the property details, the work completed and any relevant handover date so we can review the requirements.
