After builders cleaning in Tooting SW17

How the project runs
A builders clean in Tooting 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.
