Floor area and layout
The size of the space and how it's divided decide the work. Open retail and a partitioned office of the same area are not the same job.
Commercial Post-Construction Cleaning Company for fit-outs, before handover
Construction dust is the fine kind. It's inside light fittings, on top of ductwork, in the window tracks and behind door frames, and it keeps resettling after the first pass. Add grout haze, paint specks, adhesive and protective film, and a normal clean won't get a fit-out to handover. This does.
- A full crew for the whole fit-out
- Scope and rate agreed first
- Trade-grade dust extraction
- Re-cleaned after dust resettles
When a fit-out is ready for a handover clean
Building dust doesn't settle in one pass. If you're seeing these, the space isn't ready to hand over yet.
-
Fine dust that keeps coming back
You wipe a surface and it's grey again by the next day. Construction dust sits on every ledge and inside fittings, and it needs a top-down clean to actually clear rather than move around.
-
Protective film still on the glazing
Film and labels on windows, doors and fixtures. Left in the sun they bake on, so they come off cleanly now and fight you later.
-
Paint specks and adhesive on finishes
Overspray on frames, glue lines on floors, sealant smears on tile. These are detail work, done by hand, not something a mop touches.
-
Grout haze dulling new tile
A cloudy film left across new tile and stone after grouting. It doesn't sweep off, it needs the right remover for the floor so the finish actually shows.
-
Debris behind fixtures and in voids
Offcuts, dust and packaging left in ceiling voids, riser cupboards and behind fixtures. It draws pests and fails an inspection before the visible areas do.
-
A handover or opening date set
A client walkthrough or opening on the calendar is the usual trigger. The clean has to land just before it, not weeks earlier when dust is still settling.
What the service includes, and what it does not
The second list is the one that prevents disputes, it is usually in small print, or not written at all.
-
Construction waste removed first
Offcuts, sacks and leftover material go first, because there is no point cleaning on top of rubble.
-
Cement dust off every surface
We work from the ceiling down, since cement dust settles back onto anything below if we start at the floor.
-
Paint and cement spots scraped
Each spot comes off with the tool its surface can take, so marble and glass are not scratched.
-
Glass and shopfront adhesives
Stickers, adhesive residue and protective tape removed, then the glass polished until nothing is left on it.
-
Grout haze off the tile
The dull film left by grouting is lifted with a dedicated product so the real tile colour shows.
-
New washrooms and kitchens
Sanitaryware and new surfaces cleared of installation residue and filler before anything is used for the first time.
Not included
- Hauling away construction rubble or bulk debris
- Removing paint or adhesive where it would damage the finish
- Fixing construction or snagging defects
- Work needing licensed trades, electrical, plumbing, sealing
If a stain or mark won't lift without harming the surface, we stop and show you rather than force it. We flag it at the visit and, where a trade is needed, point you to the right one.
How a handover clean actually runs
The order protects the finishes. Detail the glass before the dust is down and you clean it twice. This is the sequence.
-
1
Walkthrough and protect finishes
We go through with your site contact, note what's finished and fragile, and agree what can and can't be touched. Scope and rate are fixed before we start.
-
2
Coarse debris and dust first
Offcuts, packaging and the bulk of the dust are cleared before any detailing, so fine work isn't done on top of grit.
-
3
Top-down detailing
Ceilings, high ledges, ducting and frames come next. Anything dislodged falls, so the high level is done before the surfaces below.
-
4
Glass, fixtures and fittings
Film and labels off, glass and frames cleaned, light fittings and joinery detailed inside and out.
-
5
Floors to the finish, last
Adhesive and paint spots off, grout haze cleared, then the floor cleaned and finished for its material, done last so nothing re-coats it.
-
6
Touch-up before handover
We walk the space with you before the crew leaves, and because building dust resettles, we re-clean the surfaces that need it on the same visit.
What decides the price
We do not publish a fixed figure, because cases genuinely differ. These are the factors we ask about, so you know where your job sits before you call.
How much building residue is left
Light dusting after a careful fit-out is quicker than heavy grout haze, overspray and adhesive across every surface. We note the state at the visit.
Finish types on floors and glass
Natural stone, polished concrete and delicate glazing need specific products and more careful handling than standard tile.
Handover timing and access
Whether the trades are fully out, and when you need the space, decide how the work is scheduled, including a re-clean once dust has settled.
Add-ons on the same visit
Duct cleaning or floor polishing done in the same visit costs less than separate trips, because access and setup are counted once.
Send the floor area, the finishes involved and a few photos of the state it's in, and you get an estimated rate and duration before you commit.
General clean, or a handover clean?
A general clean and a post-construction clean are different jobs. The difference is what's being removed and the order it's done in.
Construction dust
Wiped once, resettles overnight
Top-down, then re-cleaned as it settles
Grout haze and overspray
Left, or scrubbed at the finish
Lifted with the right product per surface
Protective film and labels
Baked on if left too long
Removed before they set
High ledges and voids
Missed without access
Reached and cleared top-down
Finish safety
Risk to stone, glass and joinery
Products matched to each finish
If it's not right
Falls on the contractor
Redone on the same visit
Why us for this work specifically
A full crew arrives together
We send a crew, so a whole fit-out is brought to handover in a coordinated visit rather than dragged across days while dust keeps settling.
Dust extraction, not just wiping
Trade-grade extraction pulls fine building dust out of ledges and fittings instead of pushing it around the space.
Finishes matched to product
Stone, glazing and joinery each get the product suited to them. The clean that damages a new finish costs more than it saved.
Built around your handover
We schedule the clean and the re-clean around your opening or client walkthrough, so the space lands ready on the day it matters.
Our work
Photographs from real jobs carried out by the crew.
The job doesn't close before you sign off
The commitment is simple enough to keep: we don't leave before your site contact has walked the space and said what they think.
- A walkthrough with your contact before the crew leaves
- Surfaces that resettle with dust are re-cleaned on the same visit
- The agreed rate is what's paid, any addition is priced before it's done
- If the crew is running late, you hear it before the slot, not after
Three written commitments
You know the price before we start
We look at the job and agree the figure before any work begins, and nothing is added to it afterwards. If the scope changes during the visit we stop and ask you before carrying on.
A handover walk before we leave
At the end of the visit we walk the place with you. Anything you point at is redone in the same visit, not booked for another one, and at no extra cost.
We keep the time, and tell you if we cannot
We arrive when we said we would. If that becomes impossible you hear it before the appointment rather than after, because waiting without knowing how long is worse than a delay you were told about.
Questions before you book
Can you clean while the trades are still finishing?
We can do a first pass, but the full handover clean works best once the trades are out, because ongoing work puts dust straight back. Where the schedule overlaps, we plan the sequence with your site contact and build in a re-clean before handover.
Do you remove construction rubble?
No. Hauling bulk debris and rubble is a separate job with its own equipment and disposal. We clear the dust, offcuts and packaging tied to the clean, but skip loads and heavy waste removal aren't part of it. We say so at the visit.
Will every paint spot and mark come off?
Most do. Adhesive, overspray and grout haze usually lift with the right product for the surface. But where a mark won't come off without damaging the finish, we stop and show you rather than force it, you decide, and we flag it before you pay.
Can you remove grout haze from natural stone?
Yes, with a product matched to the stone. Natural stone and polished surfaces are sensitive to the wrong remover, so we test on a hidden area first and check the result before treating the whole floor.
Do you clean the air ducts after a fit-out?
Yes, and after construction it's worth doing because fine dust gets pulled into the system. It's a separate service, see Air Duct Cleaning, and doing it on the same visit saves a second setup.
When should the handover clean be booked?
Close to your handover or opening, not weeks before, because building dust keeps settling after the trades leave. We usually schedule the main clean once trades are out and a touch-up just before the walkthrough.
