Sophie’s After Builders Cleaning Service Durham – County Durham
After Builders Cleaning Case Study – Durham City Centre, County Durham
Location: Durham City Centre, County Durham
Property Type: 2-Bedroom Apartment (Top Floor, Lift Access)
Cleaning Duration: 1 Day (3 Cleaners)
Date Completed: May 2025
Project Background
Mr. and Mrs. Patel recently completed a high-end renovation of their top-floor apartment in the heart of Durham City Centre. The work included new oak flooring, a fully fitted open-plan kitchen, custom-built wardrobes, and a full bathroom upgrade. The apartment is located in a listed building, which added complexity to the project due to older fixtures and delicate surfaces.
Although the builders had cleared away most of the bulky debris, the entire property was coated in fine plaster dust, paint splashes, and leftover adhesive residue. With furniture arriving the next day, the Patels contacted our Durham-based after builders cleaning team for a deep, detailed clean on short notice.
What We Cleaned
Our team carried out a comprehensive top-to-bottom clean, tailored specifically to the needs of a post-construction urban apartment.
Kitchen / Living Area (Open Plan)
- Removed fine dust from exposed beams, open shelving, and kitchen cabinetry (inside & out)
- Polished new countertops, induction hob, and integrated appliances
- Carefully removed paint flecks from hardwood floors without scratching the finish
- Cleaned skirtings, sockets, and chrome fittings
- Cleaned floor-to-ceiling windows and removed adhesive from new glazing
Bathroom
- Removed silicone residue and grout haze from new tiles and bath edges
- Polished chrome taps, shower fittings, and towel radiator
- Sanitised the floor, toilet, sink, and newly installed vanity unit
- Cleaned wall tiles to a streak-free shine and removed dust from extractor fan grille
️ Bedrooms
- Deep dusting of skirting boards, custom wardrobes, and coving
- Vacuumed and damp-mopped hardwood flooring with appropriate finish-safe solution
- Polished fitted mirrors and removed protective film from wardrobe glass
- Cleaned internal windows and cleared debris from window tracks
Final Touches
- Removed packaging debris and leftover builder tape from doorframes
- Applied air-neutralising treatment to freshen up indoor spaces
- Completed a full quality inspection walk-through with the client
- Challenges Faced
- Apartment access was restricted to lift only, requiring efficient logistics for equipment
- Delicate new wood flooring required specialist cleaning products
- Time-sensitive clean with limited daylight hours due to top-floor location and narrow city access
- We completed the entire clean within the one-day deadline, ensuring the apartment was ready for move-in and professional photography the following morning.
Customer Testimonial
“The team did an outstanding job! We were really concerned about the fine dust getting into everything — even inside the cupboards and wardrobe tracks. But nothing was missed. They treated our new finishes with care and worked quickly but professionally. The apartment looked absolutely immaculate by the end. It really took the pressure off, especially with our furniture delivery coming the next day.”
— Mr. & Mrs. Patel, Durham City Centre
