Sophie’s After Builders Cleaning Service Coundon – County Durham
After Builders Cleaning Case Study – Coundon, County Durham
Location: Coundon, County Durham
Property Type: 3-Bedroom Semi-Detached House
Cleaning Duration: 1 Day (2 Cleaners)
Date Completed: May 2025
Project Overview
Mrs. Harris recently underwent a complete home renovation of her 3-bedroom semi-detached house in Coundon, including a new kitchen extension, refurbished bathroom, full redecoration, and updated flooring. The builders had completed the structural work and fitted all new fixtures, but a significant amount of dust, paint splashes, and construction debris remained.
With her family preparing to move back in and the furniture arriving the following day, Mrs. Harris urgently needed a deep after-builders clean. Our After Builders Cleaning Company was contacted to provide a professional and thorough clean to ensure that the house was in pristine condition and ready for occupation.

Challenges Faced

The job was time-sensitive, with only one day available before the family was scheduled to move back in
Despite these challenges, our team was able to finish the cleaning within the same day, leaving the house sparkling clean and ready for the client’s next steps.
Customer Testimonial
“I honestly can’t believe how great the house looks! After the builders finished, I thought I’d have to spend days cleaning up the mess myself. The team came in and worked their magic in just one day. They tackled all the areas I’d never even thought to clean, and everything was spotless by the end. The kitchen, floors, and bathroom look like they were just installed. It’s so nice to be able to move in without worrying about cleaning. I highly recommend their services to anyone in Coundon or nearby!”
