Builders Cleaning: What to Expect

Dazzle 'n Co Team·2025-02-01·5 min read

If you've recently completed a new build or a major renovation, you'll know that construction leaves behind a lot more mess than just a few paint splatters. Plaster dust, adhesive residue, sawdust, paint overspray, and general debris can be found in every corner — and standard cleaning simply won't cut it.

That's where a professional builders clean comes in.

What is a Builders Clean?

A builders clean (also called a post-construction clean or new build clean) is a specialised cleaning service designed to transform a construction site into a pristine, move-in-ready space. It requires specific tools, techniques, and products that go far beyond regular cleaning.

What's Involved?

A thorough builders clean typically includes:

Dust Removal

Construction dust is the number one challenge. Fine plaster and concrete dust settles on every surface — walls, ceilings, floors, fixtures, and inside cupboards. Our team uses HEPA-filtered vacuums and microfibre cloths to capture and remove all traces of construction dust.

Window Cleaning

Windows and glass are often covered in paint splatters, adhesive residue, and dust. We clean all glass surfaces inside and out, including window frames, tracks, and sills.

Surface Cleaning

Every surface gets attention:

  • Benchtops and cabinets wiped clean
  • All fixtures polished
  • Light switches and power points cleaned
  • Door handles and hinges wiped
  • Floor Cleaning

    Different floor types require different approaches:

  • Tiles — mopped and grout cleaned
  • Timber — vacuumed and mopped with appropriate products
  • Carpet — vacuumed thoroughly (steam cleaning available)
  • Bathroom & Kitchen

    Brand new fixtures still need a thorough clean:

  • Toilets, sinks, and showers sanitised
  • Kitchen appliances cleaned inside and out
  • Tapware polished and water spots removed
  • Exterior Areas

  • Balconies and outdoor areas swept and cleaned
  • Garage floors cleaned
  • Entry areas presented immaculately
  • Why You Need a Professional Builders Clean

  • Specialised equipment — Construction residue requires professional-grade tools and products.
  • Health and safety — Construction dust can contain harmful particles. Proper removal is essential.
  • Time efficiency — Our team can complete what would take you days in a single visit.
  • Protect your investment — Improper cleaning can damage new surfaces and finishes.
  • When to Book

    We recommend booking your builders clean as soon as you have a projected completion date. For large projects, 1-2 weeks notice is ideal, but we can often accommodate shorter timelines.

    We work directly with builders, developers, and homeowners — and we understand tight handover schedules.
