Sophie’s After Builders Cleaning Service Consett – County Durham
After Builders Cleaning Case Study – Consett, County Durham
Location: Consett, County Durham
Property Type: 5-Bedroom Detached House
Cleaning Duration: 1 Full Day (3 Cleaners)
Date Completed: May 2025
️ Project Background
Mr. and Mrs. Wilson had recently completed a large-scale renovation on their family home in Consett. The project included a kitchen extension, new bathrooms, a loft conversion, and full redecoration throughout the property. While the builders did remove the bulk of the rubble and packaging, the house was left in a typical post-construction state: fine dust everywhere, paint spots on flooring, adhesive residue on new windows, and builder footprints in every room.
With the family scheduled to move back in after several weeks of staying with relatives, they needed a fast but meticulous after builders clean to bring the property to a livable, hygienic, and showcase-ready condition. They contacted our After Builders Cleaning Company in Consett to carry out the work.
What We Cleaned
Our team of three experienced operatives carried out a top-to-bottom deep clean, using specialised tools and non-abrasive cleaning agents to protect all newly installed surfaces.
Kitchen Extension
- Removed plaster and dust from all surfaces, including the tops of cabinets and inside drawers
- Polished new quartz worktops and stainless steel appliances
- Removed stubborn adhesive residue from protective plastic films on windows and extractor fan
- Mopped and steam-cleaned tiled floor to remove grout haze and dried builder dirt
- Cleaned pendant lighting and fittings
️ Open-Plan Living/Dining Area
- Hoovered and damp-mopped newly laid oak flooring
- Removed paint flecks from skirting boards, sockets, and door frames
- Cleaned bi-fold doors (inside and out), including frame edges and runners
- Wiped down new radiators and cleaned fireplace mantel
- Cleaned light switches, sockets, and all door handles
Bathrooms (2 New & 1 Renovated)
- Removed grout haze from tiled walls and floors
- Polished mirrors, glass shower screens, taps, and chrome fixtures
- Cleaned inside toilet bowls, under rims, and disinfected sinks and bathtubs
- Removed silicone smears and tape residue from new installations
- Cleaned extractor fans and vanity unit tops
️ Bedrooms & Loft Conversion
- Vacuumed new carpets and removed dust from skirting, wardrobes, and window frames
- Polished internal glazing in the loft conversion
- Cleaned Velux windows and removed labels and residue
- Removed builder boot marks from laminate flooring in the master bedroom
- Dusted shelving, light fittings, and ceiling fans
Entrance, Hallways & Stairs
- Cleaned handrails, bannisters, and stair spindles
- Wiped down the front door, interior glazing, and floor edges
- Hoovered carpeted stairs and removed stubborn fine plaster dust
- Polished brass fixtures and cleaned loft access panel
Challenges Faced
- Heavy dust build-up due to weeks of dry plastering, especially on higher surfaces and coving
- Paint and adhesive residue on brand-new flooring required solvent-based removal — without damaging the finish
- The large property size and number of recently renovated rooms made time management critical
- Despite the complexity, the job was completed in one day, and the family moved in the next morning to a fully clean and refreshed home.
Customer Testimonial
“After such a long renovation, the last thing we wanted to do was clean — and we honestly wouldn’t have known where to start. The team were outstanding from the moment they arrived. They were organised, respectful of the new work, and left every room gleaming. The kitchen alone was worth the booking — they took off every protective film, polished every corner, and the place looked like a show home. Our loft conversion had dust everywhere, and they left it spotless. We were able to move in the next day stress-free. Brilliant service — highly recommend to anyone in Consett!”
— Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, Consett, County Durham
