Sophie’s After Builders Cleaning Service Burnopfield – County Durham
After Builders Cleaning Case Study – Burnopfield, County Durham
Location: Burnopfield, County Durham
Property Type: 4-Bedroom Detached House
Cleaning Duration: Full Day (3 Cleaners)
Date Completed: April 2025
️ Project Background
Mr. Rowley had just finished a major home upgrade at his property in Burnopfield. The works included a rear extension to create an open-plan kitchen and dining space, new bi-fold doors, full re-plastering and repainting of the ground floor, and installation of new hardwood flooring throughout. The builders had completed the construction and decorating phase, but the house was left with thick dust, dried paint specks, and debris in corners and crevices.
Mr. Rowley, preparing to have family stay over the following weekend, contacted our After Builders Cleaning Company in Burnopfield for a full deep clean. He was particularly concerned about preserving the finish on his new floors and appliances, while ensuring all dust was removed thoroughly.

Hardwood flooring required careful cleaning to avoid streaking or moisture damage

Sticky residue from protective films and tapes on frames and handles needed safe removal using non-damaging agents
The team completed the clean within a full working day and left the house fresh, clear of construction debris, and ready for reoccupation.
Customer Testimonial
“I was genuinely impressed with how much attention to detail the team showed. After the building work, I felt like everything had a film of dust on it, and I didn’t know where to start. They came in, worked professionally, respected all the new finishes, and left the place absolutely spotless. My floors, especially, were cleaned to perfection — no scratches or residue left at all. I was able to have my family round that weekend without worrying about the mess. Highly recommend this service to anyone in Burnopfield needing a reliable post-build clean.”
