The trades sign off.
The dust doesn't.

Practical completion is not handover.

Fine construction dust is patient. It settles on glazing and frames, drifts into trunking and HVAC, powders down onto sanitaryware and skirtings long after the last trade has left site. At practical completion a build looks done. It isn't. The gap between 98% and ready-to-photograph, ready-to-let, ready-to-occupy is the one thing no site diary ever captures — and the one thing a specialist after-builders clean exists to close. We own that last mile between sign-off and handover, so the space you present is the space you promised.

Build with vision. Transform with precision. Hand over without a trace.

An after-builders clean is a process, not a once-over. Here's how we measure "done."

3-Stage

What an after-builders clean actually covers.

Drawn from our Prepare & Present catalogue — scoped to the building, not to a template.

01

After-Builders & Post-Construction Cleaning

The core discipline — stripping a freshly completed build of every trace of the work that made it, from first-fix dust to final sparkle.

Deep Cleaning

Intensive, surface-by-surface attention where ordinary cleaning stops short.

Communal Area Cleaning

Lobbies, stairwells and shared spaces returned to a let-ready finish.

Commercial Premises Cleaning

Offices, retail and workplaces prepared for occupation or fit-out handover.

Specialist Property Cleaning

Non-standard builds and sensitive environments, scoped case-by-case.

Included in a standard after-builders scope Fine dust removal Paint, plaster & adhesive residue Glazing & frames Sanitaryware & kitchens Floors & skirtings Ductwork & fittings Waste removal — packaging & debris

The same site. Two very different days.

Where the last 2% lives — the visible delta between sign-off and handover.
