Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1

What is included in post construction clean-up services?

Accepted Answer

Post construction clean-up removes all visible debris, fine dust from every surface, adhesive residue, and marks left by trades. We clean inside cabinets, wipe down walls and skirting boards, detail windows and frames, and vacuum and mop all floors until the property is ready for handover or inspection.

Question 2

How is this different from a standard end-of-lease clean?

Accepted Answer

Standard cleaning assumes a property is already liveable. Post construction clean-up addresses fine plaster dust, silicone smears, tile adhesive, and trade residue that regular cleaning products and methods cannot shift. It's a deeper, more technical clean designed for newly built or renovated spaces.

Question 3

When should I book post construction clean-up during my build?

Accepted Answer

Book once all trades have finished and the site is locked up, but before your final inspection or handover. This ensures no tradies track dust back through after we leave. For renovations, we typically attend after cabinetry installation and painting are complete.

Question 4

Do I need to be on site during the clean?

Accepted Answer

Not unless you prefer to be. Many builders and homeowners provide access instructions and leave us to it. We'll call or message if any questions come up during the clean. A final walkthrough can be arranged if you'd like to inspect with us afterwards.

Question 5

Is post construction clean-up safe for new surfaces?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We use cleaning methods and products appropriate for each surface type. Timber, stone, glass, painted walls, and polished concrete are all treated carefully. Our team understands which products work best without marking or dulling new finishes.

Question 6

How long does a post construction clean usually take?

Accepted Answer

Timeframes depend on property size and the level of dust and debris. A standard apartment or townhouse might take four to six hours. Larger homes or heavily soiled sites may require a full day or a team of cleaners working simultaneously. We'll provide a time estimate during your site discussion.

Question 7

Will you move furniture or appliances to clean behind them?

Accepted Answer

We clean all accessible areas. If appliances are installed and can be safely moved without causing damage, we'll work around them. For fixed cabinetry and built-ins, we clean all exposed surfaces thoroughly. Specific requirements can be discussed when booking.

Question 8

Do I need to provide water or power on site?

Accepted Answer

Access to water and power is helpful, but we carry long hoses and leads if connections aren't yet live on site. For new builds where utilities may not be connected, we can discuss alternative arrangements beforehand.

Question 9

Is construction dust harmful if not properly removed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Fine dust from plasterboard, timber, and engineered stone contains particles that remain airborne and can affect indoor air quality. Professional removal using filtered vacuums and damp wiping techniques ensures these contaminants are properly cleared, not just moved around.

Question 10

Do you offer post construction clean-up for commercial properties?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We clean offices, retail spaces, and commercial fit-outs across NSW and ACT. The same attention to detail applies — fine dust removal, surface detailing, and final presentation ready for occupation or client handover.
