Builders cleans.

Initial, final and sparkle, staged around your trades and signed off before handover.

How we work

A clean you never have to think about again.

A builders clean is not one clean. It is three: initial after the trades rough out, final once caulking and detail trades finish, and a sparkle pass in the days before handover. We stage all three around your program, so no clean gets undone by the trade that follows it.

Every job runs under a working supervisor who walks the site against the scope with your site manager. Anything raised gets fixed on the spot, not added to a defects list.

You get a before and after photo report at completion. If your client finds something we missed, we come back and fix it at no cost.

FAQ

Straight answers.

What is included in a builder's clean?

A full builders clean covers every detail including internal areas, joinery, fixtures, glazing, bathrooms and floors. We remove dust, paint overspray, grout haze, adhesive and construction residue, leaving the site ready for inspection or handover. The exact scope is confirmed in writing before we start.

Do you offer both builders and final cleans?

Yes. We handle both builders cleans after trades and before defects, as well as final or sparkle cleans for presentation before handover. We also provide pre silicone cleans to prepare surfaces for caulking.

Do you include window cleaning?

Yes. Internal and external window cleaning can be added to your package. This includes glazing, frames, tracks, balustrades, mirrors and shower screens.

Are you a franchise or independent?

We’re a fully independent Australian owned business. That means consistent crews, direct communication with the team actually doing your work, and no franchise fees diluting service quality. Everything is reinvested into our crews, training, and equipment.

Who do you usually work with?

We primarily work with builders, project managers, site supervisors and developers across multi residential developments, commercial fitouts, display home villages, retail, and large scale residential projects. We’re set up for both one off engagements and ongoing partnerships.

Where do you service?

We operate across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth, plus regional areas by arrangement.

What do you need from me to quote?

Just the basics: site address, scope (initial, final, sparkle or combination), approximate square meterage or number of dwellings, expected handover date, and any access notes. The more detail you can provide, the more accurate the quote.

How long until I can get a price?

We aim to return detailed quotes within 24 hours. For complex multi stage projects we may schedule a quick site walk to make sure pricing is accurate and scope is locked in.

Do you use subcontractors?

We operate primarily with our own trained crews. Where additional capacity is needed for a specific project, we work only with vetted, insured operators who meet our standards, and we manage the work directly so quality stays consistent.

Can you handle high or hard to reach areas?

Yes. Our team is certified for working at heights with appropriate equipment for high rise window cleaning, facade detailing, scaffolding access, and EWP operation, anything from low rise residential to high rise commercial.

Do you work after hours or weekends?

Yes. We schedule around your handover dates, including evenings, weekends, and overnight shifts where required. This is often necessary on tight handover timelines or in occupied buildings where day time access is limited.

What qualifications and tickets does your team have?

All crew members hold current White Cards (CPCCWHS1001). Where work involves heights, EWPs or specific equipment, the relevant tickets and licences are maintained for those operators. Documentation is available on request.

Are you insured and compliant?

Yes. We hold full public liability insurance and workers compensation cover. Certificates of currency are available before site mobilisation. We operate to current WHS standards and can provide SWMS on request.

Do you offer re cleans or maintenance cleans?

Yes. After handover, we can return for spot recleans before walkthroughs or inspections, as well as ongoing maintenance cleans for display homes, sales centres, and occupied builds. Pricing is per visit or as a package.

Do you take care of waste or debris?

Yes. As part of a builders clean we collect and consolidate construction waste, packaging and protective materials for removal. Bulk debris removal or skip coordination can be quoted separately if required.

Can you work around other trades?

Absolutely, we do this every day. Our crews coordinate directly with site supervisors and other trades to work in sequence, leaving completed zones spotless without interfering with active work areas. Clear communication is part of the service.

What safety measures do you follow on site?

All crews wear full PPE (high vis, hard hats, safety boots, eye and hand protection), follow site specific SWMS, and complete inductions where required. We use only WHS approved chemicals and follow safe handling procedures.

Do you handle caulking as well?

Yes. We offer caulking as a standalone service or combined with your builders clean, internal silicones, external sealants, and recaulking of existing work. See our Caulking page for full details.

Can you work on finished or occupied sites?

Yes. We can work in completed, occupied, or partially occupied spaces with discretion, uniformed crews, controlled access, low noise equipment where needed, and scheduling that minimises disruption to residents or staff.
