After Builders Cleaning in Brough

We provide after builders cleaning in Brough, Elloughton and the villages around them, removing the fine dust, plaster residue, paint splashes and sticker marks left once building work is finished. We clean for new-build homeowners who want a proper clean before they unpack, for families who have just had an extension or new kitchen fitted, and for landlords and small builders who need a property ready to hand over.

Moving into a new build

Developers normally arrange a clean before handing over a new home, but it is not always as thorough as you would like, and fine dust from plastering, sanding and cutting can carry on settling for weeks. It sits on top of door frames, inside kitchen cupboards, along skirting boards and in window tracks, and it reappears on floors a day after you mop. We work from the top of each room down with HEPA-filter vacuums, then wipe and wash surfaces so the dust is removed rather than moved around. We also clean window glass and frames inside, peel off protective film and label residue from fittings, and wipe down radiators and sockets. This is far easier while the house is still empty, so if you can, book it for the gap between getting your keys and the removal van arriving.

Extensions and renovations in established homes

Plenty of homes in Elloughton, Welton, North Ferriby and South Cave have been extended or remodelled over the years, and the work rarely stays in one room. Even when the builders have sheeted off the work area, dust finds its way through the rest of the house. We clean the new space and the rooms around it, remove paint and plaster spots from glass, sills and sanitaryware, and wash hard floors. Kitchen refits deserve a special mention, because dust gets inside new cupboards and drawers, onto extractor hoods and behind appliances, and it is far better to clean these before you fill them with food and crockery. Our guide to removing paint and plaster dust explains why it needs a careful approach, and our after builders cleaning checklist sets out what to expect on the day.

Timing and a fixed quote

The best time to book is once all trades have finished, including flooring and decorating. Because the amount of dust varies so much from job to job, we price from photos or a quick look at the property and confirm a fixed quote before we start. Some customers add a lighter second visit a few days later, once the last of the dust has settled. If you are living in the house while work carries on, we can clean the finished rooms first so you have somewhere dust-free to retreat to. If carpets went down before the work finished, we can also arrange carpet cleaning in the same visit. Builders and developers with projects closer to the city can use our after builders cleaning in Hull.
