The service, locally
After builders cleaning in Catford SE6
New-build completions in Catford are cleaned to developer sparkle standard — warranty-safe products only, site induction completed on Lewisham bookings, with 33% one-person households here — and a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood, and the final pass booked for the morning of handover rather than the week before it.
Work in Catford is mostly handover-standard: developer sparkle cleans, plot completions and post-snagging visits with a programme, a site induction and a client walk-round at the end on the streets near The Catford Cat — and 62% of homes here being flats, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood.
Typical works here: new-build handovers and developer sparkle cleans. Access and parking: South Circular red route, shopping-centre service yards and permit bays behind.

How the project runs
A builders clean in Catford 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.
