Why After Builders Cleaning is Essential

After builders cleaning is essential because the vast and varied debris generated by building works requires an expert, meticulous approach to ensure the site is thoroughly cleared and safe before handover. Liquid or solid, large or small, the dust and debris generated by building works is extensive, ranging from gypsum, brick dust, cement, and stone, through to insulation fabric, metal swarf, plastics, and chemicals. Cleaning up this aftermath requires specialist knowledge and tools.

It's vitally important to clean the whole area thoroughly before handing the site back. All surfaces should be meticulously cleared of larger debris before vacuuming and cleaning surfaces back to their best using a range of specialist equipment and powerful cleaning chemicals.

One aspect of a professional after builders' clean that is often overlooked is the ability to clean high-level areas such as girders, gantries, and wall tops. Airborne dust will often settle high up out of sight, only to reappear months later. By using specialist access equipment and having industry-trained technicians, high-level cleans are readily cleaned to the same standards as more accessible areas.

Our After Builders Cleaning Services

With over 50 years of experience in after building work cleans, Rentokil Specialist Hygiene are nationwide experts in restoring your building post-construction. Our range of after building cleaning services include:

Removal of construction dust and debris: Whilst most heavy materials such as brick and stone is removed by the builders, some surprisingly large pieces of rubble and debris are usually present that require removal before cleaning in ernest can begin. We will ensure that debris is safely and legally removed before physically removing dust from floors, walls and other surfaces.

Cleaning of floors, walls, and ceilings: Working from top to bottom, floors, walls and ceilings are cleaned of adhesives, sawdust, and everything else that has become attached during construction and renovation. Often at this stage, our expert technicians will employ specialist chemicals and removal methods according to what building rubbish remains.

High-level and duct cleaning: High level cleaning is essential if further dust issues are to be avoided in the future. Safely accessing, and removing dust from, high level areas such as wall tops and ledges requires specialist equipment and knowledge, both of which we have in abundance. 

Any ventilation systems will also likely have been affected as they are often left running during renovation works and filters can quickly become overloaded with the excessive levels of dust. A full system clean post-building works is vital to avoid costly repairs or poor ventilation in the future. Our industry accredited Air Hygiene Technicians are experts in air handling and duct cleaning services, working to sector guidance such as TR19 to ensure your systems are healthy and working effectively.

Window and glass cleaning: Bringing sparkle back to the cleaned interior and exterior of your building is a final step in the post building work clean. With our pure water systems, we can remove dust and grease from windows and facades before leaving a streak free finish.

Sanitisation of kitchens, bathrooms, and offices: Apart from the obvious aesthetic reasons to clean up after building work, the need to remove respiratory irritants such as gypsum dust and destroy any bacteria and mould that may have become established on surfaces is an important step in delivering a clean and safe environment. We use cutting edge disinfection technology such as micro-droplet fogging technology, and powerful disinfectants, to effectively clean surfaces and destroy pathogens, leaving a hygienic indoor environment.

    An after builders clean refers to the removal of dust, debris, and everything else left behind after building work has been carried out on a property.


  • What do you call cleaning after construction?

    When buildings are constructed, a wide range of materials can be generated during the process, including swarf, dust, and plastics. These need to be removed regularly throughout the construction phase to keep the site safe and tidy.

    This depends entirely on the size of the job and extent of the clean. For a no obligation quote contact Rentokil Specialist Hygiene as your after builder cleaning specialists.


  • Are contractors supposed to clean up after themselves?

    Of course, but the reality is that tight time frames, budgets and schedules often mean that cleaning after the work is complete is an afterthought. That's why employing a specialist cleaning company to take care of it professionally is always a good idea.


  • What does a builder's clean consist of?

    Once the large amounts of waste such as bricks and rubble are removed, a builders clean consists of manually removing all traces of the build to leave the site looking pristine and ready for occupancy.


  • When should you do post construction cleaning?

    Post construction cleaning, and post renovation cleaning, is best carried out immediately after completion to avoid delays in getting the property open, however timing is crucial as it's not always practical, or possible to start too soon without disrupting the construction team. We will work with you to time the build around your building schedules.
