The service, locally
What a builders clean covers in Westminster and Whitehall SW1
Period refurbishments in Westminster and Whitehall are restoration jobs: original cornices, sash boxes, re-finished boards and old glass that a wrong product ruins permanently, with 5% of Westminster and Whitehall homes being houses.
Refurbishment work in Westminster and Whitehall is restoration as much as construction: original plaster, joinery, glass and floors that cannot be replaced if a product marks them on the streets near The Palace of Westminster — and 95% of homes here being flats, with The Palace of Westminster a few streets away.
Typical works here: period whole-house refurbishments and conservation-area work. Access and parking: Security cordons, camera-controlled streets and pre-notified vehicle access on many roads.

How the project runs
A builders clean in Westminster and Whitehall 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.

The team arrived on time, phoned me beforehand and got to work straight away after discussing the priorities. They worked extremely hard, were pleasant, polite and have done a great job cleaning the whole flat. I am recommending the service to others because it is just what people need.
