The service, locally
What a builders clean covers in Lewisham SE13
Much of SE13 is new-build and regeneration stock in this 75% flats neighbourhood — and this being London Borough of Lewisham territory, with a median age of 35 in this neighbourhood, so most of our work near Lewisham is handover-standard: de-filming, de-labelling, MVHR filter changes, balcony channels and a photographed room-by-room sign-off for the client file.
Work in Lewisham 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 Lewisham bookings — and 32% owner-occupation locally, with 33% of SE13 homes being privately rented.
Typical works here: new-build handovers and developer sparkle cleans. Access and parking: Roundabout red routes, market-day loading limits and booked lifts in the towers.

How the project runs
A builders clean in Lewisham 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.
