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.

Your Complete After Builders Cleaning Checklist

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:

1. Dust and Debris Removal We begin by removing visible debris and layers of dust that collect on:

• Ceilings, coving and cornices.

• Skirting boards, dado rails and wall surfaces.

• Radiators, light fittings and switches.

2. Window and Glass Polishing We professionally clean all glazing elements to remove:

• Dust and dirt from window frames, sills and ledges.

• Smears, fingerprints, sealant and paint splashes from glass surfaces.
