The service, locally
After builders cleaning in Southfields SW18
Southfields'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 in this 44% flats neighbourhood — and 6% social-rented stock nearby, with 3,815 households on this patch.
Most Southfields bookings follow a rear extension, side return or loft conversion on SW18 jobs — and this being a short walk from Southfields (District), with 56% of Southfields 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: Championship-fortnight parking bans, narrow Grid streets and permit bays.

How the project runs
A builders clean in Southfields 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.
