After builders and post-construction cleaning in Taunton and Somerset
Building work leaves fine dust on every surface, even in rooms the builders never went into. An after builders clean clears the dust, the plaster and paint marks and the sticker residue, so the new work looks the way it should.
We clean extensions, renovations, new kitchens and bathrooms, loft conversions and new build homes in Taunton, Wellington and across Somerset.

Builders' cleans for trades and developers
We work with builders, developers and site managers who need a property ready for handover. Tell us the handover date and the stage the site is at. We can clean once the trades finish, and again just before handover if dust has settled.
Cleaning after an extension or renovation at home
Dust from sanding and plastering keeps settling for days. We clean from high to low. Ceilings and light fittings come first, then walls, woodwork and windows, and the floors come last.
We clean inside the new cupboards and drawers too, because dust gets in there.
What we need on site
We need running water, power and the trades finished in the rooms we are cleaning. We don't remove rubble or building waste, so please have that cleared before we arrive.
- The size of the property
- How much dust and residue there is
- Access to the site
- Your handover date

Questions people ask
Not answered here? Send Mel a message on WhatsApp.
When should we book you in?
Book us for the day after the last trade finishes. Dust keeps settling while work goes on, so a clean done too early has to be done again. Give us your handover date and we work back from it.
Do you take rubbish away?
No. We don't remove rubble or building waste. We bag up the dust and debris from our own cleaning.
Do you bring equipment for heavy dust?
Yes. We bring vacuums suited to fine building dust, plus scrapers and cleaners for paint, plaster and sticker residue.
Can you work to a handover deadline?
Yes. Tell us the date when you ask for a quote. If the job is large, we send more of the team.
How much does an after builders clean cost?
It depends on the size of the property, how much dust and residue there is, access to the site and your handover date. Photos help us quote, so send them on WhatsApp.
Do you clean new build homes before people move in?
Yes. We clean new builds for developers before handover, and for buyers before moving day.
Which areas do you cover?
Taunton, Wellington, Chard, Bishops Lydeard, Cotford St Luke, North Curry, Kingston St Mary, Trull, Blagdon Hill, the Quantocks and the villages near them.
