The service, locally
After builders cleaning across Hammersmith and Fulham West London
Two-storey Victorian terraces, mansion blocks along the river and new towers at White City and Fulham Reach. At 75.3% flats (ONS Census 2021), the borough's housing mix decides the shape of a post-construction clean here far more than the number of bedrooms does.
Access and parking: Very tight CPZs, red routes on the A4 and Fulham Palace Road, and match-day closures around Craven Cottage and Loftus Road. London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham permits, suspensions and dispensations are arranged and paid for by us, and we work around any live skip or hoarding licence on the street.
Typical works here: new-build handovers and developer sparkle cleans. Access and parking: Very tight CPZs, red routes on the A4 and Fulham Palace Road, and match-day closures around Craven Cottage and Loftus Road.

- 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. Hammersmith and Fulham is outside the Congestion Charge zone.
- London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham 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 Hammersmith and Fulham 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. Say what was done and whether the site was sheeted — that decides the stages and the hours, not the floor area.
- Get a fixed price and a slot in your programmeThe estimate is fixed against the works, the dust level and any add-ons. Parking, permits, ULEZ, HEPA machines, filters and products are already inside it, and we book around your trades rather than across them.
- 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. If dust settles again within 72 hours, we return and put it right free.
Why Hello Services
What a builders clean in Hammersmith and Fulham actually gets you
72-hour re-sparkle promise
Fine dust falls twice, and we say so up front. Walk the property with us at the end, and if anything has settled again within 72 hours, send a photo and we come back to it free.
M-class HEPA extraction, not a domestic vacuum
Plaster and MDF dust is fine enough to pass straight through a household filter and back into the room. Our machines are M-class rated with sealed fine-dust filters, changed between properties.
Finish-safe products and a test patch first
New oak, resin, terrazzo, powder-coated aluminium and freshly painted plaster all fail differently. Nothing stronger than water goes on a new finish without a test patch and the manufacturer's care sheet.
Priced by the works, not by the hour
An hourly rate punishes you for an unprotected site. We quote against what was built and how much dust there is, so a slow job is our problem and the price on screen is the price on the day.
Registered waste carrier for packaging and offcuts
Sheeting, packaging, offcuts and light debris can leave with us under our upper-tier waste carrier registration, with a transfer note issued. Rubble and hazardous material stay with your contractor's licensed route.
Developer handover standard in Fulham
Site induction completed, programme agreed with the site manager, warranty-safe products only, MVHR filters changed, and a photographed room-by-room sign-off for the client file on the morning of handover.
The three stages
Rough clean, main clean then the sparkle
3 stages · 26 checked items · every one of them in Hammersmith and Fulham
Stage 1 — builders' rough clean
2–5 hrsAs the trades finish, before second fix
Get the volume of debris and heavy dust out so the remaining trades are not walking it back through the property. Booked by contractors far more often than by homeowners.
- Loose debris, offcuts and packaging bagged and removed
- Protective sheeting and tape lifted and taken away
- Floors swept and HEPA-vacuumed of bulk plaster and MDF dust
- Plaster splash knocked off floors, cills and ironmongery
- Adhesive labels stripped from glazing, sanitaryware and appliances
- Wet trades' residue cleared from sinks, traps and gullies
- Site made safe and walkable for the next trade
Stage 2 — the main after builders clean
4 hrs – 2 daysOnce all trades are off site
The real work: every horizontal and vertical surface in the property taken top down with HEPA extraction, twice, because fine dust falls again the moment you disturb it.
- Ceilings, coving, cornices and light fittings high-dusted
- Walls wiped or dry-sponged where the finish allows
- Every ledge: door tops, architraves, skirtings, boxing-in, cable ledges
- Radiators front, back and between the fins
- Sockets, switch plates, thermostats and smoke detectors
- Grout haze, silicone smears and paint specks blade-lifted
- New joinery inside and out — cupboards, wardrobes, drawer runners
- New sanitaryware, taps, screens and shower trays
- New appliances de-filmed inside and out, seals and filters
- Window frames, cills, reveals, tracks, trickle vents and drainage channels
- All glass and mirrors cleaned streak-free
- Floors last: correct product for the finish, edges and corners by hand
Stage 3 — the sparkle before handover
2–4 hrsHandover, photography or move-in day
Dust settles twice. The sparkle catches the second fall plus anything the snagging trades brought back, and it is what the client, the photographer or the buyer actually sees.
- Second HEPA pass on every horizontal surface
- Fingerprints off glass, ironmongery, switch plates and appliances
- Chrome, brassware and mirrors polished
- Any snagging-trade dust and boot marks cleared
- Floors re-mopped or buffed to the finish
- Walk-round with you or your project manager, snag list signed off
- Photographs of each room for the client file on request
Not included
- Rubble, plasterboard, tiles and heavy construction waste — that goes with your contractor's licensed disposal
- Asbestos-suspect material of any kind; work stops and you are told immediately
- Skip hire, hoarding licences and highway permits for the works themselves
- Making good: filling, sanding, touching in paint or re-siliconing
- Removing paint or adhesive where the manufacturer says the finish cannot take it
- Scaffold-height external glazing without the correct access equipment
- Garden clearance, spoil removal and landscaping waste
- Commissioning, testing or cleaning inside live electrical or gas equipment
- Anything that risks damaging a brand-new finish — we flag it in writing rather than gamble

| Two rooms or a knock-through | £205 | £255 | 4–6 hrs | 2 cleaners | Both rooms plus the corridor the dust travelled down: skirtings, architraves, door tops, sockets and switch plates, radiator backs and fins, window frames, tracks and trickle vents, all glass inside and out where reachable. |
| Rear extension or loft conversion | £265 | £335 | 6–8 hrs | 2 cleaners | New glazing and roof lights de-filmed and blade-cleaned, plaster dust HEPA-lifted from every surface twice, bifold or sliding-door tracks and drainage channels cleared, new floor sealed-finish washed with the correct product, plus the rooms the extension opens onto. |

Add-ons and local costs
What can change the price in Hammersmith and Fulham and what never does
| Add-on | From | Time | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| Builders' waste and packaging removal | £90 | 45–90 min | Offcuts, packaging, protective sheeting and empty tins taken away under our upper-tier waste carrier registration, with a waste transfer note issued. Rubble, plasterboard and hazardous materials are quoted separately. |
| Post-construction carpet extraction | £55 | 40–60 min / room | Dry HEPA passes first to lift sanding and plaster dust out of the backing, then hot-water extraction. Skipping the dry stage just turns dust into a paste — so we never do it the other way round. |
| External window and frame clean | £75 | 1–2 hrs | Reach-and-wash on new glazing, frames, cills and reveals to third floor, including mortar splash and render spray. Above that needs access equipment and a separate quote. |
| Cement and grout haze removal | £60 | 60–90 min | pH-appropriate haze remover with dwell time on new porcelain, natural stone and terrazzo, then a neutralising rinse so the sealer is not compromised. |
| Paint, plaster and adhesive removal from floors | £65 | 60–90 min | Blade and solvent work matched to the floor finish — engineered oak, LVT, resin, tile or stone — with a test patch first. Included on small areas; priced when it is the main job. |
| MVHR and extract filter change | £45 | 30–45 min | Grilles, ducts at the terminal and the unit filters. Construction dust destroys MVHR filters, and leaving them in circulates it around a finished flat for months. |
| Second sparkle visit before handover | £120 | 2–4 hrs | Booked for the morning of the photography, viewing or client handover, after snagging trades have been back. Dust settles twice; this is the visit that makes the photographs work. |
| Patio, path and driveway wash-down | £95 | 1–2 hrs | Jet wash of mortar splash, plaster runoff and tyre marks on new or existing hard landscaping, plus a drain and gully clear. |
| New appliance protective strip and first clean | Included | included | Film, foam, stickers and shipping bolts off, oven interior and racks wiped of manufacturing residue, fridge and dishwasher interiors and seals — inside the price on every after builders clean. |
- Parking, permits and skip bays
- Match-day closures, very tight CPZ hours and narrow streets parked both sides. Any permit, bay suspension or dispensation in London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham's zone is arranged and paid for by us. If a skip or hoarding licence is still live on the street we work around it rather than asking you to move it.
- Waste — what we can and cannot take
- Packaging, sheeting, offcuts and light debris go with us under our waste carrier registration and you get a transfer note. Rubble, plasterboard, asbestos-suspect material and anything hazardous stays with your contractor's licensed disposal route.
- Congestion Charge
- Hammersmith and Fulham sits outside the Congestion Charge zone, so there is no charge to pass on.
- ULEZ and LEZ
- Every Hello Services vehicle is ULEZ- and LEZ-compliant, so there is no charge line on your invoice anywhere in London — including on multi-day fit-out programmes.
- Power, water and lighting on site
- We need a working socket and a cold tap. If the supply is not commissioned yet, tell us at booking and we bring a battery HEPA setup, task lighting and water containers rather than losing half a day.
- Walk-up and stair access
- Lift or ground-floor access here, so no stair-carry allowance is needed in the timing.
- Concierge, goods lift and site sign-in
- No managed-building sign-in needed at most addresses here; tell us at booking if your block runs a contractor induction.
- Working around remaining trades
- If the decorator, electrician or flooring fitter is still finishing, we sequence rooms behind them and hold the sparkle pass until they are off site. The programme is agreed with your project manager, not guessed at.
This housing stock
Where construction dust hides in Hammersmith and Fulham homes
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. Fins are cleared with a purpose-made brush and HEPA extraction rather than a cloth over the front.
Door tops, architraves and boxing-in ledges
Every horizontal edge above eye level is a shelf for fine dust, and it is the one thing a client always runs a finger along. Each ledge is vacuumed first, then wiped, then checked again after the second fall.
Protective film, foam and shipping stickers everywhere
New-build handover is as much a de-filming job as a cleaning one: appliances, glazing, ironmongery, sanitaryware and worktops all arrive filmed and labelled, and adhesive left in sunlight becomes permanent.
MVHR grilles, ducts and unit filters
Construction dust destroys mechanical ventilation filters. Grilles come off, the terminals are vacuumed and the filters are changed, otherwise the flat breathes builders' dust for months.
Balcony glass, channels and the drainage outlet
Balconies collect mortar splash, render spray and site dust, and the channel silts up before anyone has moved in. It is on the developer's inspection sheet as well as on ours.
Underfloor-heated screed, grout haze and new porcelain
Warm new screed bakes grout haze on hard. It needs a pH-appropriate haze remover with dwell time and a neutralising rinse — not a scourer, which marks new porcelain permanently.

About the borough
Hammersmith and Fulham in context
Riverside Fulham terraces, Hammersmith's flyover and offices, and White City's media and university campus. Market gardens and riverside industry, then dense Victorian terracing; the BBC and later Westfield reshaped White City.
Two-storey Victorian terraces, mansion blocks along the river and new towers at White City and Fulham Reach. On ONS Census 2021 figures the borough holds 81,244 households with a median age of 33.7, 33.6% owner-occupied and a dwelling split of 75.3% flats to 24.6% houses — the mix that decides what gets built here and how a builders clean is scoped.
Access sets the day's programme. Very tight CPZs, red routes on the A4 and Fulham Palace Road, and match-day closures around Craven Cottage and Loftus Road. London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham permits, suspensions and dispensations are arranged and paid for by us, and any cost sits inside the quoted price.
Fulham is dominated by recent and ongoing development, so most of our work here is handover-standard: warranty-safe products only, manufacturer care sheets followed on new floors and worktops, and nothing used that would void a developer's snagging cover.

Hammersmith and Fulham after builders cleaning questions, answered
Prices are fixed by the works and the dust level: from £145 for a single-room refit on a protected site to £855 for a 5-bed or new-build fit-out.

Three stages if you need them: a rough clean during second fix, the full post-construction clean once trades are off site, and a sparkle on handover day. The main clean covers ceilings and cornices, every ledge and architrave, radiator fins and backs, sockets and switch plates, grout haze, paint specks and silicone, all new joinery inside and out, sanitaryware, new appliances de-filmed, window frames, tracks, vents and glass, then floors last — twice over.
Rubble, plasterboard and heavy construction waste, anything asbestos-suspect, making good, skip and hoarding licences, scaffold-height external glazing without access equipment, and any product a manufacturer says a new finish cannot take. We publish the full not-included list on every page rather than leave it to small print.
Packaging, sheeting, offcuts and light debris go from £90 a van load under our upper-tier waste carrier registration, with a transfer note issued. Rubble and hazardous material must leave via your contractor's licensed disposal route.
No. Very tight CPZs, red routes on the A4 and Fulham Palace Road, and match-day closures around Craven Cottage and Loftus Road.

Hammersmith and Fulham sits outside the Congestion Charge zone and inside the ULEZ. Our vehicles are compliant and there is no charge on your invoice either way.
With 75.3% of the borough's homes being flats, most bookings here are single-room refits and whole-flat refurbishments, which run three to ten hours depending on the works and how much the site was protected.
Regularly. We complete site inductions, work to a programme, take purchase orders, invoice with VAT and a PO reference, and supply photographic room-by-room sign-off for the client file. Repeat-site and multi-plot rates are agreed in advance.
We expect it to, which is why we walk the property with you and hold a 72-hour window: send a photo and we return to re-sparkle free of charge.
