After builders cleaning guides
A builders clean removes the fine dust and the marks the trades leave: dust off every surface from the ceiling down, windows, frames and sills inside, paint and plaster splashes lifted from glass, tiles and fittings, labels and protective film off the kitchen, bathrooms and windows, inside every press and drawer, and the floors vacuumed and washed to suit their finish.

A few quick taps: the clean your job needs, what it costs and how long it takes. Contact details come last, and only if you want a fixed price.
One builders clean of a three-bed house, after a new build: €350 to €700.
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.
Common questions

An after builders clean costs €150 to €400 for an apartment, €350 to €700 for a three-bed house and €350 to €1,200 for four bedrooms or more. The full three-stage clean of a new build (rough, builders and sparkle) runs €500 to €750 for a three-bed house.

What does an after builders clean include?
A builders clean removes the fine dust and the marks the trades leave: dust off every surface from the ceiling down, windows, frames and sills inside, paint and plaster splashes lifted from glass, tiles and fittings, labels and protective film off the kitchen, bathrooms and windows, inside every press and drawer, and the floors vacuumed and washed to suit their finish.
When should I book an after builders clean?
Book it for once the last trade has left and the snag list is done, not before: every trade that comes back brings dust with it. On a new build, the rough clean goes in as the trades finish, the builders clean after the snags, and the sparkle clean a day or two before you move in.
How long does it take?
A team usually takes 6 to 10 hours on a house, once every trade has finished. A room or two takes a few hours, and an extension with the rooms beside it most of a day.
