The service, locally
What a builders clean covers in Shortlands and Hayes BR2
Extensions and loft conversions around Hayes Common push dust through the whole house on the Shortlands and Hayes rounds — and 48% of Shortlands and Hayes homes being houses, with 33% one-person households here, so a BR2 builders clean here is never just the new room: the original kitchen, the hallway, the stairs and every radiator in between are inside the quote.
Most Shortlands and Hayes bookings follow a rear extension, side return or loft conversion on this side of Bromley — and 24% of BR2 homes being privately rented, with 3,676 households on this patch, which means the dust has travelled through the whole house rather than sitting in one room.
Typical works here: rear extensions, side returns and loft conversions. Access and parking: Driveways and wide roads; the station approach is narrow at peak.

How the project runs
A builders clean in Shortlands and Hayes 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.

After Builders Cleaning reviews from Greater London customers
Fantastic and thorough clean. Nicole and Marius arrived on time with all the equipment needed for the deep clean. The flat looks stunning. This is the second time in a year we have used their services and both times it’s been fantastic. Really was a fantastic service from them and can’t recommend them enough
Sadar came to do the cleaning of all appliances in my house and he did an extremely good job! There were a lot of items and in 4 hours everything was spotless!
Great service! Would definitely use again - Nicole and Marius were AMAZING cleaning our small flat after building work, and the pre-clean communication was good too.
