After builders cleaning in Heaton Chapel

We quote on the build, not a Stockport average: from £160 for a single room / bathroom refit, from £280 for a kitchen or extension, from £480 for a whole-house renovation. Every after-builders price includes HEPA vacuums, ladders up to 3.5m, waste bagging and a settle-down return within seven days.

Construction dust is fine enough to stay airborne for hours. Wash surfaces once and the property greys over again by the next morning. We dust down from ceiling to skirting, let the building settle, repeat the pass, then wet-clean. On Heaton Chapel jobs stair spindles, nosings and the underside of the new handrail is where the second pass earns its money.

Budget around 15 crew hours for a local single-storey extension — usually two to three cleaners. Half a day per room, one to two days for a whole-house refurbishment is the rule of thumb.

Ideally the day after the last trade leaves. Book it earlier and you pay to remove dust that a single further cut or sanding will replace. Locally the crunch is October, when single-storey rear extensions and knock-throughs into the old kitchen completions cluster — give us a week's notice that month and the date is yours.

Yes — SK4 end to end, and we cross into Heaton Moor, Heaton Norris, Heaton Mersey, Reddish, Burnage on the same rate. There is no travel charge anywhere in Stockport.

Yes, with blades and solvents chosen for the glazing type. We check for coatings first — scraping coated or toughened glass marks it permanently, and on Heaton Chapel jobs honed limestone and marble that etches under acidic descalers is the finish we most often have to protect from a rushed subcontractor's approach.

We bag and stack waste as standard and issue a waste transfer note when we remove it. Bulk removal is quoted alongside as a clearance job so you get one invoice, and disposal follows Stockport Council's rules for the SK4 postcodes.

Operatives working live sites hold CSCS cards, wear full PPE and are inducted before they start. Every cleaner is ID-checked, reference-checked and DBS-screened, and each job carries £1m public liability cover. We can supply method statements and the schedule of insurance with any Heaton Chapel quote that needs them on file.

Within seven days we come back and re-dust every horizontal surface, re-polish glass and re-vacuum floors for the fines that drop once the heating and ventilation start running. About 61% of Heaton Chapel clients use it, and it is included in the price rather than sold as an extra.

Yes, at the same fixed price. Fit-outs and commercial units in Stockport are routinely cleaned overnight or across a Sunday so trading resumes on time. Tell us about site compounds where the water and power are still on the temporary board at booking and we plan the shift around it.

We plan for it. Stockport Council sets the permit, skip and loading rules here, so tell us at booking whether there is a compound, a driveway, a permit bay or nothing at all. Walk-in distance and kit-carrying time are priced up front, never added afterwards.

Tell us within 72 hours and we return and put it right at no cost — separate from the settle-down visit. About 98% of our Stockport builders cleans pass the client walk first time, and the rest are usually a single surface.
