Commercial builders cleaning

A builders clean of a shop, office or unit after a fit-out is usually priced per m²: €2 to €5 per m², about €300 to €750 for 150 m². High ceilings, lots of glazing and out-of-hours work add to it. It's usually done the day or night before handover or opening.

What it covers

  • Dust at high level: ducts, cable trays, light fittings, the tops of partitions and doors.
  • Glazing and shopfronts inside, with film and labels off.
  • Toilets, showers and kitchenettes.
  • Floors to suit their finish: vinyl, carpet tiles, tiles or polished concrete.
  • Signage and fittings left as the client should see them.

Step 1 of 7

What needs cleaning?

Pick the job: the clean, the price and the time follow from it.

How the estimate is worked out

The ranges are what Irish cleaning companies charge for the same clean: the lowest to the highest figure for a home of that size, or per m² for a commercial unit. A smaller home's three-stage clean is its builders clean plus a sparkle clean. Use it to plan with: the company fixes the price after seeing the job or photos of it.

Working to a handover

The team is sized to the floor area and the date, and can work at night or at a weekend. On a live site, the main contractor may ask the cleaning team for Safe Pass cards, insurance and a method statement before they start: ask for them when you book.
