- Since 2019
- Priced by the works and the dust — fixed before we arrive

The service, locally
What a builders clean covers in East Dulwich SE22
Extensions and loft conversions around Dulwich Park push dust through the whole house on this side of Southwark — and 58% owner-occupation locally, with 25% of SE22 homes being privately rented, so a SE22 builders clean here is never just the new room: the original kitchen, the hallway, the stairs and every radiator in between are inside the quote.
Most East Dulwich bookings follow a rear extension, side return or loft conversion on the streets near Dulwich Park, with 43% of homes here being flats — and 57% of East Dulwich homes being houses, 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: Narrow terraced streets, resident bays and side returns too tight for a Luton.

- 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 East Dulwich 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
Ana and her team cleaned performed a deep clean of our 3 bedroom home in London after we’d sold it, prior to the new buyers moving in. Ana was a pleasure to deal with, very communicative and personable. They did a great job, and the new buyers and I were pleased with the result. Thanks… Read in full →
Great service - Ricardo and Rueben were absolutely fantastic, arrived on time, did a thorough job cleaning the entire flat leaving it immaculate, would highly recommend!
They did a thorough job and were flexible - rather than doing tasks that didn’t need doing ( although they were on the quote) they were willing to clean other things instead. They were polite, friendly and respectful.
