Three stages of construction cleaning
1. Rough clean
During the build. Debris, offcuts and packaging are removed, floors swept and heavy dust taken down so trades can work safely and see what they're doing.
2. Builders clean
Once the trades have mostly finished. Every surface is vacuumed and wiped, paint and plaster splashes are removed from glass and fittings, and floors are cleaned to their final finish.
3. Sparkle clean
The final clean before handover. Glass is polished, stainless steel buffed, protective films removed, and sanitaryware and kitchens finished to occupier standard. The goal is a building the client walks into and doesn't notice anything to snag.
Why builders' dust needs specialist cleaning
Plaster and cement dust is fine enough to settle again for days after it's disturbed. It needs HEPA-filter vacuums and damp-wiping from the top down, and often a second pass a day later. Rushing it is how handovers end up with a dusty film on every surface by the first morning.
After handover
Many fit-out projects move straight onto a regular office cleaning contract. We can take the building from final clean to day one without a gap.
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a builders clean and a sparkle clean?
A builders (or rough) clean removes debris, packaging and heavy dust while trades are still on site. A sparkle clean is the final detailed clean before handover. Glass, fittings and floors are finished so the space is ready for the client or occupier.
Do you work to contractors' site rules?
Yes. Our teams follow your site induction, PPE and permit requirements, and we can supply method statements and risk assessments before starting.
Can you work to a tight handover date?
Yes. Sparkle cleans are often booked for the last 48 hours before handover. Let us know the programme early and we'll schedule a team around the snagging.
