End of Build Cleaning: What to Expect After a Melbourne Renovation

Completing a renovation is exciting, but the state of the property afterwards is anything but. Builders leave behind cement dust, plaster residue, paint splatters, silicone smears, and construction debris that normal cleaning simply can't handle. A professional after builders clean is the essential final step before you can enjoy your new space.

Why You Need Professional After Builders Cleaning

Construction dust is incredibly fine and gets everywhere, including inside cupboards, air conditioning ducts, electrical outlets, and behind appliances. It contains silica particles that can irritate lungs and damage electronics. Regular household cleaning tools aren't designed to handle it.

Our after builders cleaning team uses industrial vacuums with HEPA filters, commercial grade cleaning solutions, and specialist tools to remove every trace of construction residue.

What's Included in a Builders Clean

Stage 1: Rough Clean

• Remove all construction debris, packaging, and leftover materials
• Sweep and vacuum all surfaces including ceilings, walls, and floors
• Remove large paint splatters and cement droppings
• Clean out cupboards, wardrobes, and storage spaces

Stage 2: Detail Clean

• Detailed cleaning of all fixtures and fittings
• Window cleaning including frame tracks and sills. Our window cleaning service ensures streak free results
• Remove adhesive residue, sticker marks, and protective films from new appliances and windows
• Clean new tapware, removing plumber's putty and fingerprints
• Mop and polish all hard floors
• Vacuum and carpet clean any soft floor coverings

Stage 3: Final Inspection Clean

• Touch up clean after the builder's final inspection
• Address any snag list items related to cleaning
• Final presentation clean ready for occupancy

Costs

After builders cleaning costs depend on the scope of renovation and property size:

• Bathroom renovation clean: $200 to $400
• Kitchen renovation clean: $300 to $600
• Full house renovation clean (2-3 bed): $600 to $1,500
• New build complete clean (3-4 bed): $1,500 to $3,500

Timing

Book your builders clean after all trades have finished but before furniture delivery. Allow 1 to 3 days depending on property size. If your builder is still completing minor works, coordinate access to avoid freshly cleaned areas being dirtied by late-stage trades.

Air Quality After Renovation

Construction dust lingers in the air for days after building work finishes. Having your air conditioning ducts cleaned after a renovation prevents dust cycling through your HVAC system for months. This is especially important for households with asthma or allergy sufferers.
