Our post-construction cleaning services

From first-stage builders cleans through to final handover and vacant unit reinstatement, every clean is tailored to your site, programme and final inspection requirements.

  • Builders Clean. First-stage rough clean during or after construction, clearing dust, debris, plaster residue and construction waste to leave the site clean, workable and ready for inspection.
  • Sparkle Clean. Final-stage detailed clean that brings the property to full handover standard, with windows, fixtures, floors, kitchens and bathrooms taken to a showroom finish.
  • Phased Site Cleaning. Recurring cleaning delivered in coordinated stages that track your construction programme, planned around trade access and phased or sectional handover milestones.
  • Void & Reinstatement Cleaning. Deep clean of vacant or handed-back units after works or occupancy, returning the space to a lettable, inspection-ready standard for check-out and re-letting.

Every clean is scheduled, tracked and quality-checked through our CleanManager platform, with photographic evidence and completion reporting available on request.

DBS-checked operatives. COSHH compliant. Method statements and RAMS provided where required.

How We Work

Every post-construction project is different, so we plan each one around your site, your programme and your handover date.

01. Enquiry and Assessment

We start with a conversation to understand the size of the site, the scope of work and your handover deadline. For larger or more complex projects we carry out a site visit so we can assess the work properly and plan around other trades.

02. Planning and Preparation

We confirm the scope, the team size and the number of days required. Where needed, we produce method statements and RAMS specific to your site, so everything is in place before we arrive.

03. Delivery

Our work is led on site by an experienced supervisor who briefs and manages the team throughout. We can clean once the site is clear of other trades, or work in coordination with an active build, whatever suits your programme.

04. Final Walkthrough and Handover

Before our team leaves, a final walkthrough is carried out to confirm the site meets our standard and yours. The space is checked and recorded on completion, and nothing is signed off until it is ready for inspection or handover.

Who is it for?

We work across both commercial and residential projects, with most of our work supporting developers, contractors and commercial sites.

  • Property developers preparing units for handover or sale
  • Main contractors and builders completing projects
  • Commercial businesses upgrading or fitting out premises
  • Landlords after refurbishment work
  • Homeowners after major renovations or extensions

As a Living Wage Employer focused on local employment, working with Optimum supports the social value and ESG commitments increasingly expected on development projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

The cost of a post-construction clean varies depending on property size, the level of dust and debris, and the type of work completed, whether that is a renovation, an extension or a full new build. The number of cleaners and days required also affects the final figure. We provide free, no-obligation quotes over email or phone, and a site visit for larger or more complex projects.
