Post-construction cleaning is far more intensive and specialized than a regular house clean. It involves removing fine plaster dust, sawdust, paint splatters, adhesive residue, protective films, and construction debris that settle into every corner, crack, and surface.

Regular cleaning maintains an already-clean home, while post-construction cleaning transforms a builder-finished space into a truly move-in-ready home. We use specialized tools like HEPA-filtered vacuums, heavy-duty scrapers, and commercial-grade products designed to tackle construction residue that standard cleaning can't handle.

Think of it this way: regular cleaning is maintenance; post-construction cleaning is transformation.

No, we specialize in final post-construction cleaning after all renovation work is complete.

Here's why:

Safety First: Active construction sites pose safety risks with ongoing trades, power tools, and moving materials. We want to protect our team and ensure we can work safely and thoroughly.

Best Results: Cleaning during active construction is pointless—new dust and debris are created immediately. Our deep clean is most effective when all work is finished, so we can transform your space once and do it right.

Construction Companies Handle Interim Cleaning: Most builders do light cleaning and debris removal as they go. This is typically included in their scope of work.

When to Book Us: Call us when:

✅ All trades have finished and left

✅ All installations are complete (cabinets, appliances, fixtures)

✅ No more dust is being created

✅ Builder has removed all tools, materials, and bulk rubbish

✅ You're ready for the final transformation!

The Result? We can work efficiently, safely, and deliver the pristine, move-in-ready finish you're paying for—without interruption or contamination from ongoing work.

Pro Tip: Even if your builder says "we'll clean it," we still recommend booking us. Builder cleans typically remove bulk debris but don't address fine dust, adhesive residue, or the detailed work needed for true client-ready presentation.

Timing depends on property size, renovation scope, and how dusty the space is:

Typical Timeframes:

1–2 bedroom unit: 5–7 hours

3 bedroom home: 6–10 hours

4–5 bedroom home: 8–14 hours

Major renovation or full build: 12–20+ hours

What affects timing:

● Amount of dust and debris

● Whether it's a partial reno or full build

● Number of rooms and bathrooms

● Special requirements (polishing, extra detailing)

● Team size (2 cleaners finish faster than 1)

We'll give you an accurate time estimate when we quote your job. Our goal is thorough, not rushed—we don't leave until it's perfect!

Not at all! Most of our post-construction clients aren't on-site during the cleaning.

Here's how it works:

If you're NOT present:

● Provide access (key, lockbox, or gate code)

● We'll text/call when we arrive and when we finish

● We send progress photos during the clean

● Final inspection walkthrough scheduled separately (at your convenience)

If you ARE present:

● You're welcome to stay, check progress, or point out priorities

● Some clients prefer being there for the final walkthrough

● We can answer questions and show you what we've done

Either way works perfectly! We're fully insured and police-checked, so you can trust us with access to your property.

Great question! Here's how to prepare for your final post-construction clean:

✅ MUST DO:

● Ensure all construction/renovation work is 100% complete

✔ All trades finished and equipment removed

✔ No more dust is being created.

✔ All installations are completed (cabinets, appliances, and fixtures).

● Remove any tools, ladders, or equipment left by builders

● Ensure we have clear access to all areas

● Provide keys, codes, or access instructions

● Turn on water and electricity

● Let us know about any delicate or valuable items

✅ Helpful (but optional):

● Remove any furniture you don't want us working around

● Point out any areas needing extra attention

● Take your own "before" photos for comparison

❌ You DON'T Need To:

● Do any cleaning yourself (that's our job!)

● Provide equipment, products, or supplies (we bring everything!)

● Move heavy furniture (we work around it)

● Stress about the mess (we've seen it all!)

TIMING YOUR BOOKING:

⏰ Best Time to Book: As soon as you have a tentative completion date from your builder

⏰ When We Can Start: Only after:

● Final building inspection passed (if applicable)

● All trades completely finished

● Builder has done their clean-up (removed tools, materials, bulk rubbish)

⏰ Our Tip: Book us for 3-7 days after your builder's estimated finish date. This buffer accounts for typical trade delays while securing your spot in our schedule.

📞 Not sure if you're ready? Send us photos and we'll advise if it's too early or if we can start!

Absolutely! We're trained specifically to work with new installations and finishes.

Our team:

● Uses appropriate products for each surface type (we never use harsh chemicals on delicate finishes)

● Tests products in inconspicuous areas first

● Follows manufacturer guidelines for new appliances and fixtures

● Uses soft microfiber cloths (not abrasive materials) on polished surfaces

● Takes extra care around freshly painted walls, new flooring, and custom cabinetry

We've cleaned hundreds of newly renovated homes—protecting your investment is our priority. If you have specific concerns about particular materials or finishes, just let us know in your quote request!

Yes! Removing paint splatters, adhesive residue, sticker marks, and protective films is included in our post-construction service.

We remove:

● Paint splatters from tiles, glass, and hard surfaces

● Adhesive residue from windows, benchtops, and floors

● Stickers and labels from appliances and fixtures

● Protective plastic films from windows and surfaces

● Caulk and grout smears

● Plaster and drywall dust (the worst offender!)

Using:

● Specialized scrapers and tools

● Safe solvents for stubborn adhesives

● Techniques that won't damage surfaces

Note: Extensive paint removal from very porous surfaces (like raw timber) may require additional time and could incur extra charges. We'll let you know during quoting if this applies.

We clean external vents, grilles, and filters as part of our standard service. This includes:

● Wiping down vent covers and grilles

● Vacuuming visible dust from vent openings

● Replacing or cleaning accessible air filters

For internal ductwork cleaning (inside the duct system), this requires specialized equipment and is considered a separate service. If you need full duct cleaning, we can recommend trusted local specialists, or you can arrange this separately with an HVAC professional.

Most post-construction cleans don't require internal duct work unless the renovation was extensive or the ducts were directly exposed to construction.

Our service includes removing light construction debris like:

● Offcuts and small materials

● Packaging, cardboard, and wrapping

● Sawdust and shavings

● Small amounts of leftover materials

However, we don't handle:

● Heavy building materials (bricks, timber, metal)

● Large quantities of rubbish requiring skip bins

● Hazardous materials (asbestos, chemicals, oils)

● Furniture or appliances for disposal

Best practice: Ensure your builder completes a "builder's clean" (removal of bulk materials and rubbish) before we arrive. This allows us to focus on the detailed cleaning that makes your space truly ready.

If there's significant rubbish remaining, let us know when requesting your quote—we may need to adjust timing or pricing, or recommend a rubbish removal service first.

Our standard post-construction package focuses on interior spaces, but we absolutely can include exterior areas!

Included in standard service:

● Windows cleaned inside

● Interior balcony/patio doors and frames

Available as add-ons:

● Exterior window cleaning (outside glass)

● Balcony and patio deep clean

● Outdoor entertaining areas

● Garage cleaning

● External door and frame cleaning

Just let us know what exterior areas you'd like cleaned when requesting your quote, and we'll include it in your custom price. Many clients add exterior windows and balconies—it makes a huge difference!
