First-stage builders cleaning
Builders Clean in London
We deliver first-stage builders cleans for developers, main contractors and fit-out teams across London, clearing construction dust, debris and waste during and after the works. It is the rough clean that strips a site back so it can be inspected, snagged and taken through to a final sparkle clean.
✓ Fully insured✓ COSHH compliant✓ RAMS available
What our builders clean covers
A builders clean removes the bulk of the dust, debris and residue left by construction, getting the site to a clean, workable state.
- ✧Construction Waste & Debris Removal. Offcuts, packaging, plasterboard and general construction waste cleared from floors, units and communal areas so the site is safe to move through and inspect.
- ✧Heavy Dust Removal. Settled construction and plaster dust removed from floors, walls, ledges, frames and high-level surfaces, including the corners and voids where it gathers.
- ✧Residue & Splash Removal. Plaster, adhesive, paint splashes, sealant and stickers lifted from floors, glass, frames and fittings, ready for the detailed finish that follows.
- ✧Floor Preparation. Hard floors swept, vacuumed and washed down to clear grit and residue, protecting finishes and preparing them for the final sparkle clean.
- ✧Sanitary & Kitchen Rough Clean. Newly installed kitchens, washrooms and sanitaryware wiped down and cleared of dust, protective film and construction residue.
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 site is different, so we plan each builders clean around the stage of the works, the access available and how it fits with your other trades.
01. Enquiry and Assessment
We start with a conversation about the size of the site, the stage of the works and the volume of dust and debris involved. For larger or more complex sites we carry out a site visit so we can assess the scope and plan around other trades.
02. Planning and Preparation
We confirm the scope, the team size and the number of days required, and produce site-specific method statements and RAMS where needed, 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 clear waste, strip out the dust and lift residue, working in coordination with your programme and other trades on site.
04. Final Check and Sign-Off
Before our team leaves, we check the site against the agreed scope to confirm it is clear and workable. The clean is recorded on completion, ready for snagging or the next stage of cleaning.
