- Some protection, some not. Plaster and MDF dust on every horizontal surface, paint specks on glass and ironmongery, grout haze on new tiles, silicone smears and sanding dust in the carpet pile. Two passes minimum, because dust falls again.
- ULEZ applies here and is inside the band above. Croydon is outside the Congestion Charge zone.
- London Borough of Croydon 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 Croydon 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.

- Parking, permits and highway bays
- Tram-line crossings, narrow terraced streets and permit bays near the tram stops. Any permit, bay suspension or dispensation in London Borough of Croydon'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.

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 streets near Ashburton Park, with Ashburton Park a few streets away.
