What Is Included In A Builders Clean Step-By-Step

The final builder's clean is, without a doubt, the most important step in the final stage of any construction project.

Construction work takes months, and leaves behind all sorts of debris, dust, pain splashed, dirt — you name it.

That's why getting professional cleaning services done before handing over a new or renovated home is crucial.

You don't want to dampen months of hard work on the construction site by handing over a property to the new owners that's anything less than high quality.

Synergy Four Services are leaders in builders clean services in Canberra, ACT.

Whether you're a residential builder, commercial builder, cleaning contractor or a homeowner who needs a deep and thorough clean at the end of a building project, they've got you covered.

Understanding a Builders Clean: Why It’s Essential

Builders cleaning services and commercial cleaning services tackle two different messes, and the standard of your service depends on making the right choice.

Where a commercial cleaning service keeps places like retail stores and schools spick and span, a builders clean specifically targets the types of messes that construction work leaves behind.

Think: removing construction dusk, washing hard floors, scrubbing the window sills and frames, deep cleaning kitchen appliances, door frames and light fixtures.

Builders cleaning services remove all traces of construction work, and clean the new build ready for its new owner. It requires specialised skills and adherence to workplace health and safety standards.

Builders Clean Step-By-Step Process

Step 1: Removing Construction Debris and Dust

Our builders cleaning services always start with a top to bottom removal of the construction materials that are left behind, and any dust and debris left over after the building process.

Our cleaning team have high standards for our work, meaning from the window tracks and door frames to the light fixtures — we make sure the site is free of dirt, debris and rubbish.

Step 2: Cleaning of All Surfaces and Fixtures

After the initial clean-up, we start on the cleaning of all surfaces on the property.

This includes:

  • Wiping down light switches, door handles, and window sills.
  • Removing paint splatters from hard surfaces and fixtures.
  • Sanitising kitchen appliances, light fixtures, and interior windows.

A comprehensive builders clean ensures a spotless property every time.

Step 3: Interior Windows and Glass Cleaning

Windows are the enemy of any construction site.

Construction dust and paint splashes build up during the building work, so our cleaning team makes sure to leave all glass surfaces polished a streak-free.

The window frames, the window tracks, the
interior windows — we're all over it.

Step 4: Hard Floor and Carpet Cleaning

Floors are dirt, mud, dust and stain magnets.

That's why our cleaning team make sure to:

  • Sweep and mop hard floors, removing any construction debris.
  • Deep clean the carpet, eliminating dust and stains.
  • Scrub tiles, vinyl and any other hard surfaces.

Step 5: Sanitisation of High-Touch Areas

A high-standard builders cleaning service prioritises good hygiene.

Like with any other service in the cleaning industry, our professional cleaners thoroughly disinfect:

  • Light switches and door handles.
  • Kitchen appliances and countertops.
  • Bathroom fixtures and hard floors.
  • Living areas.
  • Any other high-touch area in the new build or renovation project.
