The service, locally
After builders cleaning across Tower Hamlets Central London
8% of Tower Hamlets dwellings are flats (ONS Census 2021), which shapes the work: flats mean single-room refits, containment in communal areas and waste that has to leave through a lift within permitted hours.
Typical works here: warehouse and shell conversions. Access and parking: Tower blocks with goods-lift booking, Canary Wharf estate permits, and CPZs across Bethnal Green and Bow.

6–8 hrs on site · 2 cleaners
- Some protection, some not. Plaster and MDF dust on every horizontal surface, paint specks on glass and ironmongery, grout haze on new tiles, silicone smears and sanding dust in the carpet pile. Two passes minimum, because dust falls again.
- Congestion Charge and ULEZ both apply at this address — both are already inside the band above.
- London Borough of Tower Hamlets permits and bay suspensions are arranged and paid for by us, not added to your invoice.
- 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 Tower Hamlets 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.
