The service, locally
After builders cleaning across Ealing West London
5% of Ealing dwellings are flats (ONS Census 2021), which shapes the work: flats mean single-room refits, containment in communal areas and waste that has to leave through a lift within permitted hours.
Typical works here: new-build handovers and developer sparkle cleans. Access and parking: Mixed — driveways in Ealing and Greenford, but Acton and Southall have tight CPZs and busy narrow shopping streets.

- ULEZ applies here and is inside the band above. Ealing is outside the Congestion Charge zone.
- London Borough of Ealing 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 Ealing 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.
