- 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. Greenwich is outside the Congestion Charge zone.
- Royal Borough of Greenwich 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 Greenwich 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.

|---|---|---|
| Builders' waste and packaging removal | £90 | |
| Post-construction carpet extraction | £55 | |
| External window and frame clean | £75 |
- Parking, permits and highway bays
- Steep streets towards the abbey, wide estate roads and new blocks with booked lifts. Any permit, bay suspension or dispensation in Royal Borough of Greenwich'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.

Reviews from Greenwich customers
My first time using this company for a moving in clean & I could not have been more impressed. Timely arrival, Dara & team were amazing, and they did a super job for me. When they'd finished my flat looked brand new & smelled so clean! I look forward to working with them again in… Read in full →
Hello Services did a great job cleaning my new flat in Greenwich London before I move in. Professional, friendly and efficient. Thank you to Dara and a great team! Will be using you guys again for end of tenancy clean on current flat! Charlotte V.
The cleaners arrived on time and did a very good job. They worked very hard. Unfortunately, they damaged a blind in the bedroom and left without telling me. Fortunately my son was able to repair the blind. If they had told me about the blind I would have given them a 10!
