The service, locally
After builders cleaning in Oval SE11
Period refurbishments in Oval are restoration jobs: original cornices, sash boxes, re-finished boards and old glass that a wrong product ruins permanently on the streets near The Kia Oval cricket ground, with Lambeth parking rules in play.
Refurbishment work in Oval is restoration as much as construction: original plaster, joinery, glass and floors that cannot be replaced if a product marks them on the streets near The Kia Oval cricket ground, with 33% one-person households here.
Typical works here: period whole-house refurbishments and conservation-area work. Access and parking: Match-day road closures around the ground, red routes on Kennington Park Road and permit-only side streets.

- London Borough of Lambeth 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 Oval 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.
