1. Confirm handover and access
Ask the builder or site manager to confirm relevant work is complete, the area is released, access is authorised and utilities are available if needed. Coordinate any remaining trades and agree who removes tools, offcuts and construction waste.
2. List rooms and included tasks
Record each room and accessible surface to be cleaned, such as agreed floors, fixtures, joinery and reachable glass. Note optional items such as cupboard interiors, appliance interiors or balconies separately. Check that finishes are ready for the proposed method.
3. Identify residue and material limits
Describe visible paint, grout, adhesive or other residue before quoting. Suitability depends on surface, cure time and manufacturer instructions; removal can damage finishes and may require specialist assessment. Cleaning does not inspect or repair building defects.
4. Separate hazards and specialist work
Do not disturb suspected asbestos, silica-containing dust, chemical spills, sharp building debris, exposed wiring or unstable structures. Notify the site contact and use appropriately qualified specialists for hazards, trade work, repairs and waste handling.
5. Confirm quote and close-out
Agree on access, schedule, written inclusions, exclusions, equipment and how variations are approved. After cleaning, walk through the agreed scope with the responsible contact and record any follow-up items for the builder or relevant trade.
