The service, locally
What a builders clean covers in Purley CR8
Extensions and loft conversions around Purley Rotary Field push dust through the whole house on CR8 jobs, with 64% owner-occupation locally — and 10% social-rented stock nearby, so a CR8 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 Purley bookings follow a rear extension, side return or loft conversion on the Purley rounds — and 7,502 households on this patch, with this being London Borough of Croydon territory, 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: Steep hill roads with sharp turns; driveways on most residential streets.

- 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 Purley 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.
