The service, locally
After builders cleaning in New Cross SE14
Period refurbishments in New Cross are restoration jobs: original cornices, sash boxes, re-finished boards and old glass that a wrong product ruins permanently, with this being London Borough of Lewisham territory.
Refurbishment work in New Cross is restoration as much as construction: original plaster, joinery, glass and floors that cannot be replaced if a product marks them for New Cross (SE14) addresses — and this being a short walk from New Cross (Overground, Southeastern), with Goldsmiths, University of London a few streets away.
Typical works here: period whole-house refurbishments and conservation-area work. Access and parking: September student turnover, New Cross Road red route and narrow permit-only streets.

- 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 New Cross 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.
