Completing a renovation or construction project is always exciting, but it also leaves behind a fair share of mess.

Why a Builders Clean Requires More Than a Standard Clean
Cleaning after construction work is not just about making a space look tidy. Builders dust is extremely fine and can linger in the air or settle into hard-to-reach places. It can affect indoor air quality and aggravate allergies if not handled properly. Moreover, residue such as paint, plaster and sealants require careful removal without damaging newly installed surfaces.
A professional post-construction clean ensures all surfaces are safe, hygienic, and fit for purpose. At HD Cleaning Ltd, our cleaners are highly trained in post-build procedures and use commercial-grade equipment to remove dust, polish finishes, and protect your renovation investment.

Our after builders cleaning service is designed to leave no stone unturned. Every room is meticulously cleaned, with each surface and fixture receiving the attention it deserves. While every project is unique, here is our comprehensive checklist that guides every job we undertake:
