After Builders Cleans

Swift's after builders cleaning service is comprehensive and includes removal of all construction debris, dust extraction from all surfaces (including hard-to-reach areas), detailed cleaning of fixtures and fittings, window and glass cleaning, sanitization of bathrooms and kitchens, floor cleaning and treatment, paint/plaster/adhesive spot removal, air purification, and final inspection. For commercial properties, we also include specialized services such as HVAC duct cleaning, elevator shaft cleaning, and treatment of communal areas. Our cleaning protocols can be tailored to your specific requirements and property type.

The duration of an after builders clean varies significantly depending on property size, construction complexity, and level of debris. A standard residential property might take 1-2 days, while larger commercial spaces could require several days or even weeks for comprehensive cleaning. Swift deploys appropriately sized teams with specialized equipment to optimize efficiency without compromising quality. During our initial assessment, we'll provide you with a detailed timeline based on your specific project parameters. For urgent occupancy requirements, we can implement accelerated cleaning protocols with larger teams working in coordinated shifts.

Construction dust requires specialized handling due to its pervasive nature and potential health impacts. Swift employs a multi-stage approach, beginning with HEPA-filtered industrial vacuums to capture airborne particles. We then implement a top-to-bottom cleaning methodology, starting with ceilings and light fixtures and working downward to prevent dust redistribution. Specialized microfiber cleaning systems capture rather than spread fine particles. For particularly challenging environments, we may deploy air scrubbers to continuously filter the environment during cleaning. Our technicians are trained in dust containment protocols to prevent cross-contamination between cleaned and uncleaned areas.

While we handle the comprehensive cleaning process, there are a few preparatory steps that help optimize our service efficiency. Ideally, all construction work should be fully completed, including paint touch-ups and snagging items. Large construction debris should be removed, and the site should have functioning utilities (water and electricity). Any sensitive items or equipment that will remain on site should be identified and protected. Access arrangements should be confirmed in advance, including parking for our vehicles and teams. Our operations team will provide you with a pre-cleaning checklist specific to your project when you book our services.

Swift utilizes professional-grade cleaning products specifically formulated for post-construction environments. Our product selection balances powerful cleaning capability with environmental responsibility. For different surfaces and materials, we use appropriate specialized cleaners - including pH-neutral solutions for natural stone, non-abrasive cleaners for glass and polished surfaces, and industrial degreasers for removing construction adhesives and residues. We prioritize low-VOC formulations to minimize indoor air quality impacts. Additionally, we employ mechanical cleaning methods such as steam cleaning where appropriate to reduce chemical usage. All our products are compliant with current health and safety regulations.

Absolutely. Swift specializes in rapid-response after builders cleaning services designed to meet tight handover deadlines. We understand that time is often critical in property development, with each day of delay potentially impacting revenue and client relationships. Our nationwide network allows us to quickly mobilize appropriately sized teams with all necessary equipment. For particularly urgent projects, we can implement multi-shift cleaning operations working around the clock. We also offer phased cleaning programs for larger developments, allowing gradual handover of different building sections. Early engagement with our planning team helps us optimize resource allocation for your specific timeline requirements.
