️ The Situation
Mr. and Mrs. Patel had recently completed a full internal renovation of their home in central Durham. The works included:
Replastering and repainting all walls and ceilings
Installation of a brand-new kitchen and bathroom
New laminate flooring throughout the ground floor
Removal of an old fireplace and structural modifications in the living room
Although the builders had finished their work on schedule, the entire property was left coated in a thick layer of dust. There were dried paint spots on the windows and doors, grout haze in the bathroom, and footprints across the newly laid flooring.
With friends visiting for the weekend, the Patels needed a rapid, thorough, and specialist clean—and contacted us based on a recommendation.

Customer Testimonial
“We were honestly shocked by how much mess was left behind after the builders packed up. There was dust in places we didn’t even think to look. After Builders Cleaning Company were brilliant from start to finish. They turned up on time, worked non-stop, and left the house looking pristine. Every surface gleamed, and even the smell of dust was gone. Worth every penny – we’d definitely use them again.”
