subject: Hand Over A Sparkling Clean Home Renovation Job With A Specialist Builders Clean [print this page] If the owners are living in the property while the work's going on a construction company needs to pay special attention when doing a renovation or extension job.
Perhaps you're working on a Listed Building, which comes with its own special requirements for the materials you'll need to use.
Perhaps there are small children and pets that you'll need to be extra-careful to ensure there are no stray nails or other small bits of residue left behind that could harm them.
Of course, you'll have advised them to clear and safely store anything that might get in the way of the work, or at the very least protect items from paint splashes and the inevitable dust.
Although most building workers clean up at the end of their day's work, what happens at the end of the job?
Inevitably after any new build or part build a certain amount of dust hangs around for a few weeks after the job's done.
To hand over the property to the client with the least amount of inconvenience to them it may be worth using a specialist Builders Clean at the end.
Client recommendations, word of mouth or testimonals are the source of many domestic building projects. It could be the detail that encourages them to recommend you to friends and acquaintances considering building and renovation work themselves.
If you do consider using a specialist builders clean company, you will want to be assured that they can handle the job to your satisfaction.
You'll want them to walk the job with you first to understand how to deal with any specialist materials you may have had to use and you'll need them to be flexible and able to come in at short notice.
Can they offer the full range of services that might be needed including removal of debris and rubbish, cleaning of walls, skirting boards, window sills and lighting fixtures, removal of paint, silicon, and labels from glass, sealing and polishing of floors, polishing of chrome, laminated and wood surfaces, vacuuming, spot cleaning and shampooing of carpets and internal and external window cleaning?
If they're using specialist cleaning products you may want to be sure, for your clients' sake, that they're safe to use in an occupied building, are non-toxic, non-inflammable and give off no unpleasant fumes.
In a listed building they may need to understand the techniques of treating or cleaning surfaces, such as oiling wood, that can't be done using modern cleaners.
At the end you'll want a full report of what they've done and a list of any last-minute items that need fixing, anything they've spotted that has been left unfinished or damaged, and you may also want to know that they dispose of everything they take away in a safe and environmentally-friendly way.
It may sound like a lot but that little extra investment could make your company stand out from the rest and help you win more business.
