Sophie’s After Builders Cleaning Service Chilton – County Durham
After Builders Cleaning Case Study – Chilton, County Durham
Location: Chilton, County Durham
Property Type: 3-Bedroom Detached House
Cleaning Duration: 1 Full Day (2 Cleaners)
Date Completed: May 2025
️ Project Background
Mr. Turner had just completed a full downstairs renovation on his home in Chilton, which included knocking down a wall to create an open-plan living space, re-plastering, installing a new kitchen, laying vinyl flooring, and repainting. While the builders completed the structural and decorative work professionally, they left a thick layer of fine construction dust, paint droplets, and sticky residue on floors, fittings, and surfaces throughout the ground floor.
With his return to the property scheduled for the following day, Mr. Turner contacted our After Builders Cleaning Company in Chilton for an urgent, professional clean to restore the home to a fresh, spotless condition.
What We Cleaned
Our team carried out a comprehensive top-to-bottom clean focused on the newly renovated areas, carefully protecting new surfaces while ensuring every detail was addressed.
️ Kitchen
- Removed protective film and adhesive residue from cupboards, oven, and fridge
- Cleaned inside and outside of all cabinets and drawers
- Polished laminate countertops and stainless-steel sink and tap fittings
- Scrubbed tiled splashbacks to remove grout smears and dust
- Mopped and polished vinyl flooring, removing paint flecks and dried plaster
- Cleaned extractor fan and fittings
️ Open-Plan Living Area
- Hoovered and mopped the new floor multiple times to eliminate fine plaster dust
- Wiped skirting boards, door frames, and radiators, removing specks of paint
- Cleaned new bi-fold doors, including runners and glass (inside only)
- Polished sockets, switches, and ceiling light fittings
- Removed dust from above curtain rails and inside window reveals
Hallway & Entry
- Cleaned the newly installed front door (inside) and surrounding frame
- Wiped down all high-touch points including handrails, door handles, and light switches
- Hoovered stairs and hallway carpet
- Dusted internal doors and removed light construction residue from the porch area
️ Bedrooms (Light Clean)
- Vacuumed carpets and cleaned window sills, windows and frames
- Wiped down internal doors, handles, and wardrobe exteriors
Challenges Faced
- Heavy plaster dust had settled in hard-to-reach areas like behind kitchen plinths and in ventilation grills
- Adhesive marks on high-gloss cabinet fronts required gentle solvent-based cleaning to avoid scratches
- Paint flecks on the vinyl flooring needed careful removal to avoid lifting the surface
- Despite the time pressure and the condition of the property, our team completed the entire clean within one working day and left the home fully ready for Mr. Turner to move back in.
Customer Testimonial
“I didn’t realise just how much dust and debris would be left behind after the builders finished. I was overwhelmed looking at the mess, especially on the floors and in the kitchen. The cleaning team were incredible — they showed up exactly on time, got straight to work, and left the house looking brand new. They didn’t miss a single detail. The kitchen was spotless, the floors looked amazing, and I could finally relax knowing everything was clean and safe. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone in Chilton needing a proper post-build clean.”
