Pricing guide

Quotes typically combine a callout fee, hourly labour charged at a regional rate, and a materials/disposal allowance. Overall cost is driven by the finish level requested, how much trade rubbish needs clearing, and site access; premium handover and heavy-debris jobs are usually more labour-intensive and may increase the quoted range.

  • Level of finish requested

    Showroom-quality or detailed handover cleans typically require more time, slower hand finishing and specialist consumables than a standard clean.

  • Amount of trade debris

    Sites with significant loose rubble or trade rubbish usually need extra passes, rubbish clearing and higher disposal allowances.

  • Site access and ease of entry

    Restricted access, multiple levels or difficult entry typically increases the time operatives need to complete the job.

  • Materials, consumables and equipment hire

    Standard quotes usually allow for common consumables, while specialist products or hired equipment can increase the scope.

  • Timing and after-hours attendance

    Work scheduled outside normal hours or requiring immediate attendance typically attracts higher rates and affects the final quote.

Frequently asked questions

What does a builders clean usually include?
A standard builders clean is typically a post-construction tidy using common consumables to make the site ready for handover. If you request a premium handover, providers usually include slower, hand-finished detailing, polishing and grout brightening as a quoted upgrade.
Do cleaners remove bulky trade rubbish?
Many cleans cover removal of smaller trade waste, but sites with significant bulky debris are usually quoted under a heavy-debris profile to allow for extra clearing and disposal. Very large items or skips may need third-party removal and are often treated as a separate cost item.
Is a licence required to carry out a builders clean?
General cleaning work is typically an unlicensed service. However, removal or handling of regulated hazardous materials, such as suspected asbestos, usually requires licensed specialists and is generally excluded from a standard clean.
How long will the clean take and when can it be done?
Duration usually depends on property size, finish level and the amount of debris to clear, with premium and heavy-debris jobs typically taking longer than standard cleans. Scheduling outside normal business hours or needing rapid turnaround may also affect timing and the quoted rate.
