Sophie’s After Builders Cleaning Service Craghead – County Durham
After Builders Cleaning Case Study – Craghead, County Durham
Location: Craghead, County Durham
Property Type: 2-Bedroom End-Terrace House
Cleaning Duration: 1 Day (2 Cleaners)
Date Completed: May 2025
Background
Mr. Matthews had recently completed a full renovation of a 2-bedroom end-terrace home in Craghead, which he had just purchased as a first-time buyer. The project included re-plastering the entire property, fitting a new kitchen and bathroom, installing laminate flooring downstairs, and repainting all rooms. While the tradespeople had completed the renovation to a good standard, they left behind a significant amount of dust, dried plaster on windows and skirtings, adhesive film on fixtures, and builder debris throughout.
With his move-in date fast approaching and no time to carry out the cleaning himself, Mr. Matthews contacted our After Builders Cleaning Company in Craghead for a one-day, deep cleaning service to prepare the house for occupancy.
What We Cleaned
Our cleaning team focused on thorough dust removal, surface polishing, and delicate residue removal from new fixtures and finishes.
️ Kitchen
- Removed thick dust from all cupboard interiors and tops of units
- Cleaned adhesive and protective film from oven door and extractor fan
- Polished stainless steel sink and taps
- Mopped laminate flooring and detailed corners where dust had gathered
- Wiped sockets, splashback tiles, and new skirting boards
️ Living Room
- Removed dried paint spots and plaster flecks from newly painted skirtings
- Hoovered and damp-mopped laminate flooring using non-abrasive solution
- Cleaned internal windows and removed marks from glass and frames
- Wiped down light switches, sockets, and door frames
Bathroom
- Removed grout haze and silicone smears from new wall tiles
- Polished mirror, taps, and shower screen
- Sanitised all fixtures including basin, toilet, and bath
- Cleaned extractor fan vent and ceiling edges
️ Bedrooms
- Dust removal from top to bottom — walls, radiators, skirting, and window ledges
- Cleaned inside new built-in wardrobes
- Polished glass panes and hoovered floor space
- Removed minor builder marks from door handles and architraves
Hallway & Stairs
- Vacuumed carpeted stairs and wiped bannisters
- Removed dust from stair skirting and understairs cupboard
- Cleaned entry door interior and treated lingering building odours with air neutraliser
- Challenges Faced
- Fine plaster dust had settled on freshly painted surfaces and needed to be cleaned without damaging the paintwork
- Sticky residue from protective plastic on new fixtures required solvent-based, surface-safe removal
- Time-sensitive job as furniture delivery was scheduled for the following morning
- Despite these factors, our team completed the entire clean by 5:00 PM, leaving the property spotless and ready to move in.
Customer Testimonial
“I didn’t realise how much mess would be left after the renovation, and I was running out of time before moving in. The team came in and absolutely smashed it. They cleaned places I wouldn’t have even thought of — inside cupboards, light fittings, door frames — everything was gleaming. Super professional, friendly, and hardworking. I’d definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone in Craghead or nearby.”
— Mr. Jordan Matthews, Craghead, County Durham
