Builders Clean
Post Construction Cleaning For Handover in Christchurch
Our Builders Clean is designed for newly built homes and renovation projects that require a detailed, high-standard clean before final handover.
Construction projects naturally leave behind fine dust from plaster, timber, and other building materials. This dust settles across all surfaces - often in areas that are not immediately visible. Our process focuses on removing this residue thoroughly and carefully, ensuring the home feels complete, clean, and ready to be presented.
A Thorough, Detail-Focused Clean
We approach each project with precision and care, working through the home from top to bottom to ensure no detail is missed.
Particular attention is given to areas where construction dust commonly settles, including high surfaces, internal fittings, and hard-to-reach spaces. Our goal is to deliver a finish that reflects the quality of the build itself.
