The service, locally
What a builders clean covers in Brockley SE4
SE4's period stock rewards patience over pressure — plasterwork dry-brushed from a pole, joinery vacuumed out before it is wiped across SE4 — and this being London Borough of Lewisham territory, with 70% of homes here being flats, and newly oiled floors treated with exactly what the finisher specified and nothing else.
Refurbishment work in Brockley is restoration as much as construction: original plaster, joinery, glass and floors that cannot be replaced if a product marks them around Brockley (Overground), with 30% of SE4 homes being privately rented.
Typical works here: period whole-house refurbishments and conservation-area work. Access and parking: Steep hills, long front paths and conversion flats up two or three flights.

- 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 Brockley 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.

After Builders Cleaning reviews from Greater London customers
Nicole and Marius were amazing - quick, efficient and they did a great job cleaning our flat after building work finished. It’s clear they really knew their stuff! Would 100% use again.
The service and results were very good. We gave them a probably harder job than others for a small apartment deep clean that was still cluttered by the many belongings of the person living in it. They took to the job well, worked hard over many hours and produced very acceptable results. The only issue… Read in full →
Excellent service, would highly recommend. They were on time, professional and friendly. They went above and beyond to clean the entire apartment, the windows, all surfaces, even the ceilings and every appliance and fixtures. You want a job done well, give it to these guys!
