The service, locally
What a builders clean covers in Penge SE20
SE20's period stock rewards patience over pressure — plasterwork dry-brushed from a pole, joinery vacuumed out before it is wiped for Penge (SE20) addresses — and a median age of 37 in this neighbourhood, with this being London Borough of Bromley territory, and newly oiled floors treated with exactly what the finisher specified and nothing else.
Refurbishment work in Penge is restoration as much as construction: original plaster, joinery, glass and floors that cannot be replaced if a product marks them across SE20, with 40% of Penge homes being houses.
Typical works here: period whole-house refurbishments and conservation-area work. Access and parking: Steep approaches from Crystal Palace, narrow terraced streets and permit bays.

- London Borough of Bromley 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 Penge 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.

After Builders Cleaning reviews from Greater London customers
Diana and Alex carried out a deep clean for my property prior to new tenants arriving. The actually cleaning was superb and I would highly recommend them. The only downside was the office and booking system. The poor couple had to travel from Wimbledon to sidcup after waiting for the previous client to attend and… Read in full →
