When to book your builders clean
- After the trades finish: book once the building work is complete, so fresh dust doesn’t settle on a finished clean.
- Before handover or move-in: renovations, extensions, new homes, offices and larger commercial builds.
- Book ahead: a few weeks’ notice gives you the best choice of dates. We can sometimes arrange a clean at short notice.
- On the day: move furniture or stored items that would get in the way, and give us access details such as keys or codes.

Renovated an older home? Settle the asbestos question before the clean
A builders clean deals with light construction dust and debris on floors, sills and surfaces. Asbestos is a separate job.
In the ACT
WorkSafe ACT says any property built before 2003 must be assumed to have asbestos. A business refurbishing a home must make sure asbestos likely to be disturbed is identified and removed before the work starts. That is not the homeowner’s responsibility, and WorkSafe ACT says homeowners should feel comfortable to question the tradespeople doing their renovation.
In Victoria
The Victorian Government’s asbestos hub says a home built or renovated before 1990 likely contains asbestos. Its advice: don’t drill, sand, cut or use high-pressure water on materials that may contain asbestos, arrange a professional assessment, use a licensed asbestos removalist, and send asbestos waste only to a place authorised to receive it.
Once the trades have finished, book your clean and tell us what’s left on site.
