After Builders Clean in Lee, SE12

We cover every address in SE12, with this being a short walk from Lee (Southeastern) — and The Manor House and its gardens a few streets away, and we clear the thing a normal clean cannot touch: fine construction dust that has settled into every ledge, track, fin and fibre in the property on the Lee rounds.

- Basic DBS-checked teams
- Since 2019

The service, locally
What a builders clean covers in Lee SE12
Lee's side returns and rear extensions leave the same four problems every time — track grit in the new bifolds, plaster dust in the old rooms, mortar splash on the patio and haze on the new floor for Lee (SE12) addresses, with 60% owner-occupation locally — and 6,151 households on this patch.
Most Lee bookings follow a rear extension, side return or loft conversion on Lewisham bookings, with 18% social-rented stock nearby, which means the dust has travelled through the whole house rather than sitting in one room.
Typical works here: rear extensions, side returns and loft conversions. Access and parking: Driveways on many streets; Lee High Road is a red route with short bays.

How the project runs
A builders clean in Lee 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.

After Builders Cleaning reviews from Greater London customers
Sardar and his assistant Shaheen did an amazing job cleaning my apartment including deep cleaning the kitchen , bathrooms, wooden floors as well as carpets ! They were detailed , efficient , quick and left the flat looking fabulous ! Highly dependable - would love to work with them 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 →
The team arrived on time, phoned me beforehand and got to work straight away after discussing the priorities. They worked extremely hard, were pleasant, polite and have done a great job cleaning the whole flat. I am recommending the service to others because it is just what people need.
