- ULEZ applies here and is inside the band above. Barnet is outside the Congestion Charge zone.
- London Borough of Barnet permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, not added to your invoice.
- Includes the 72-hour re-sparkle promise: if dust settles again before handover, tell us within 72 hours and we come back to it free.
How the project runs
A builders clean in Barnet from programme to sign-off
- Tell us the works, not just the bedroomsA single kitchen refit, a rear extension, a loft, a whole-house refurb or a new-build handover are different jobs.
- Get a fixed price and a slot in your programmeThe estimate is fixed against the works, the dust level and any add-ons.
- Stage 1 while the last trades finish, if you need itContractors usually book a rough clean so the site stays workable: debris and sheeting out, floors HEPA-vacuumed, labels off, everything safe for second fix and snagging.
- Stage 2 — the full post-construction clean, top downOnce the site is clear, a DBS-checked team works ceiling to floor with HEPA extraction: high dusting, ledges, joinery, glass, sanitaryware, appliances, then floors last — twice over, because fine dust falls again.
- Stage 3 sparkle, walk-round and the re-sparkle promiseWe come back for a sparkle pass on handover, photography or move-in day and walk the property with you against a snag sheet.

Add-ons and local costs
What can change the price in Barnet and what never does
| Add-on | From | Time |
|---|---|---|
| Builders' waste and packaging removal | £90 | |
| Post-construction carpet extraction | £55 | |
| External window and frame clean | £75 |
- Parking, permits and highway bays
- Every new block requires booked goods lifts and loading bays; estate roads are gated. Any permit, bay suspension or dispensation in London Borough of Barnet's zone is arranged and paid for by us. If a hoarding licence is still live on the street we work around it rather than asking you to move it.
- Waste — what we can and cannot take
- Packaging, sheeting, offcuts and light debris go with us under our waste carrier registration and you get a transfer note. Rubble, plasterboard, asbestos-suspect material and anything hazardous stays with your contractor's licensed disposal route.

Where construction dust hides in Barnet homes
Radiator fins, backs and the wall behind them
Plaster and sanding dust falls straight into a radiator and then gets blown around the room the first cold evening on the Colindale rounds, with The former Hendon Aerodrome and Colindale Gardens a few streets away.

About the borough
Barnet in context
London's largest borough by population — semi-detached suburbia, Hampstead Garden Suburb and green belt at the top.
1930s semis with bay windows, mock-Tudor detached houses, garden-suburb Arts and Crafts homes and new towers at Colindale. On ONS Census 2021 figures the borough holds 148,917 households with a median age of 37.3, 53.7% owner-occupied and a dwelling split of 47.4% flats to 52.5% houses — the mix that decides what gets built here and how a builders clean is scoped.
