How the project runs
A builders clean in Havering 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.

About the borough
Havering in context
London's most suburban edge — Romford's market and nightlife, Hornchurch's semis and green belt beyond Upminster. Essex market towns and farmland that became commuter suburbia after the LMS and District lines arrived.
Interwar and post-war semis, bungalows in Upminster and new flats around Romford station. On ONS Census 2021 figures the borough holds 101,276 households with a median age of 38.9, 70.5% owner-occupied and a dwelling split of 23.1% flats to 76.7% houses — the mix that decides what gets built here and how a builders clean is scoped.
Access sets the day's programme. Driveways and wide roads throughout; only Romford town centre needs bay suspensions.
