In depth
New build cleaning, from first fix to handover
A new build is never just dusty — it's plaster dust in the ventilation, cement residue on tiles, paint spots on glazing, adhesive on frames and packaging in every room. Our new build cleaning is delivered in phases to match your build programme, so each clean happens at the right moment and the final sparkle clean leaves a property that photographs properly and passes a buyer's or client's walk-through.
The initial clean clears debris, packaging and heavy construction dust; the fine clean details surfaces, kitchens, bathrooms, glazing and fixings; and the sparkle clean is the handover finish — polished surfaces, streak-free glass, floors finished and everything presented. We work around snagging and re-clean after trades have been back in, because a clean that's undone by the next contractor isn't a clean.
We clean plots, whole streets and refurbishments for developers, builders, site managers, estate agents and self-builders across Peterborough and Cambridgeshire, and we're used to working to programme — evenings, early starts and weekends included when a completion date is tight.
Why customers choose Gleamo for this
- Phased cleans — initial, fine and sparkle — timed to your construction programme.
- Industrial HEPA vacuums and dust extraction, not domestic kit that re-circulates plaster dust.
- Snag-aware: we re-clean areas after trades have been back, so the handover finish stands.
- Multi-unit and whole-development pricing, with a per-plot cost you can budget from.
- Site-ready teams with insurance, method statements and a named contact for the site manager.
- Photographed handover condition so developer, agent and buyer all see the same finish.
What affects the price
- Floor area and storeys — the biggest single driver of cleaning hours per plot.
- Which phases you need — initial, fine, sparkle, or all three across a programme.
- Number of units — whole streets and developments attract multi-unit pricing.
- Finishes in the property — large glazed areas, tiled bathrooms and hard floors take longer to detail.
- Site conditions — active sites with other trades need staged visits and re-cleans.
- Working hours — out-of-hours and weekend cleans to protect a completion date are priced accordingly.
Optional extras
- External window clean
- Carpet clean post-handover
- Garden & external tidy
