What Does a Builders Clean Include After Renovation?

What Is a Builders Clean?

A builders clean is a specialised cleaning service completed after building or renovation work.

Its purpose is to remove the dust, debris and construction residues left behind during the building process so the property is clean, safe and ready for use.

These cleans are commonly required for:

• Newly built homes • Renovated kitchens or bathrooms • Commercial construction projects • Property handovers • Recently completed extensions

Builders cleans are typically scheduled once the site is trade complete and ready for final presentation.

Why Builders Cleans Are Different

Construction work produces fine dust that settles on almost every surface, including areas that may not be immediately visible.

Standard cleaning methods are often not sufficient to remove this dust properly.

Builders cleans usually require:

• Detailed dust removal from all surfaces • Cleaning inside window tracks and frames • Removal of construction residue and protective stickers • Careful cleaning of cabinetry and fixtures • Detailed cleaning of kitchens and bathrooms

The goal is to remove the dust and residue safely without damaging new surfaces.

What Is Typically Included in a Builders Clean?

While the exact scope may vary depending on the project, a builders clean often includes the following tasks.

Dust Removal

Construction dust settles on surfaces throughout the property.

This includes:

• Walls • Doors and door frames • Skirting boards • Light fittings • Window frames • Shelving and cabinetry

Removing this dust properly requires a careful process to prevent it from spreading further through the space.

Window and Glass Cleaning

Windows and glass surfaces are often covered in dust, fingerprints or protective film after construction.

A builders clean may include:

• Cleaning interior glass• Silicone, concrete, building residue • Removing stickers or adhesive residue • Cleaning window tracks and frames

Kitchen and Bathroom Cleaning

Kitchens and bathrooms require detailed cleaning to remove dust and residue from newly installed surfaces.

This may include:

• Cleaning cabinetry inside and out • Wiping benches and splashbacks • Removing dust from fixtures and fittings • Cleaning sinks, taps and basins • Cleaning showers, tiles and toilets

Floor Cleaning

Floors often collect large amounts of construction dust and debris.

Builders cleans may include:

• Vacuuming construction dust • Mopping hard floors • Removing fine dust from edges and corners

Special care is taken when cleaning new flooring to avoid damage.

When Should a Builders Clean Be Scheduled?

A builders clean should only be scheduled once the site is ready for cleaning.

This typically means:

• All trades have finished their work • No construction materials or tools remain on site • Power and water are available • The property is safe to access

If trades are still working in the space, additional dust and debris may be created, which can affect the final result.
