The last job before the keys change hands
A builders clean in Sydney is the difference between a new apartment that looks finished and one that looks like the trades just left. Fine dust on every ledge, paint spots on the glass, stickers on the appliances and grout haze on the tiles all need to go before owners, buyers or tenants walk through.
We do post construction cleaning and after builders cleaning in Sydney for builders, developers and renovators, from single homes to full apartment buildings. For new strata buildings we also do the handover clean of the common areas, so the building is ready for the first owners and the new owners corporation.
New building handover clean
For a new building, the handover clean covers every apartment plus the lobby, corridors, lifts, car park and bin rooms. Corridor carpets can be steam cleaned before handover with our commercial carpet cleaning. We can stage it floor by floor to match your handover dates and defect inspections. When the building moves into regular cleaning, our strata cleaning team can take over with the same scope.
What's included
| Stage | What we do |
|---|---|
| After the trades | Dust, paint spots, stickers and packaging residue cleaned off every surface the trades left behind |
| Dust | Vacuum and wipe dust from ceilings to skirting, inside cupboards, drawers and wardrobes |
| Glass and frames | Remove stickers, paint spots and dust from windows, frames, tracks and mirrors |
| Kitchens and bathrooms | Clean appliances inside and out, remove stickers and film, clean tiles, grout haze and fittings |
| Floors | Vacuum and mop, remove paint and plaster spots, clean tile grout lines |
| Fixtures | Wipe light switches, power points, doors, handles and handrails |
| Common areas (new buildings) | Lobby, corridors, lifts, car park, bin rooms and stairs |
Not included: waste removal of any kind, and repair of paint or defects (we flag anything we notice for your site manager).
How often
| Stage | When |
|---|---|
| Rough clean | After trades finish and before final fit-off |
| Final clean | Before practical completion or inspection |
| Touch-up clean | Before handover or settlement, after defects are fixed |
Not every job needs all three stages. A small renovation might only need the final clean.

Why builders clean quotes vary so much
Builders clean prices vary because the job varies. A renovation with one bathroom is very different from a 60-apartment building with three handover stages. The main things that change the price are the number and size of rooms, how much construction dust and paint is left, whether glass and tracks need sticker and paint removal, and how many stages you need.
We price from a site visit, not a guess, and we write the stages into the quote so your site manager can plan around them. If defects work happens after our final clean, we can come back for a touch-up clean before handover.
- Ask whether inside cupboards, drawers and window tracks are included.
- Ask how many stages are priced, and what a touch-up clean costs.
- Ask whether common areas are included for a new building.

Questions we get asked
What is the difference between a builders clean and a regular clean?
A builders clean removes construction dust, paint spots, stickers, film and grout haze from every surface, including inside cupboards and tracks. A regular clean keeps an already clean space tidy.
Can you clean a full apartment building floor by floor?
Yes. We can stage the handover clean to match your inspection and settlement dates.
Do you clean the common areas of a new building too?
Yes. Lobby, corridors, lifts, car park and bin rooms are part of the new building handover clean.
Can you send insurance and safety documents before we start on site?
Yes. Request the pack from our insurance and compliance page. Our cleaners complete your site induction first.
Do you remove stickers, film and grout haze?
Yes. Stickers, protective film, paint spots and grout haze come off glass, appliances, tiles and fittings.
How soon after the trades finish can you start?
As soon as the area is safe to work in and power and water are on. Tell us your target handover date and we'll plan back from it.
