Kew · The extension meets the original house at a cleaning boundary
After Builders Cleaning in Kew: Extension Handover
The extension meets the original house at a cleaning boundary.
Plan the transition back into the original living space.
The connecting doorway is worth checking even if the main work stayed inside the extension. For your Kew enquiry, describe the extension and adjoining original room. Separate dust on the frame from building residue on glass.
- Include glazing surrounds and connecting floor edges in the surface notes.
- Separate dust on the frame from building residue on glass.
- Confirm that internal access is clear of the final construction materials.
- Plan the transition back into the original living space.

At a glance
Ten decisions before the visit
- What rate is published for the service?
- Expect a scope discussion, not a fixed package from the room count. The service starts from £29/hour.
- Where does the finishing clean focus?
- Cleaning detail is agreed around the affected rooms; the presence of a kitchen or bathroom does not imply an unlimited checklist.
- What makes the property ready for cleaning?
- Discuss any returning trades. The best sequence avoids cleaning immediately before more dust-producing work.
- Can hard deposits be treated like dust?
- Explain construction spotting separately; safe handling depends on the surface and cannot be promised from a general description.
- Can packaging be left for the cleaners?
- No. Describe timber, boards and packaging separately so collection can be considered independently.
- Does kitchen installation need a separate room brief?
- Yes, subject to surface readiness and agreed tasks. Name worktops, coated panels and visible installation residue.
- Does a small paint project count?
- Tell Alesta which rooms were decorated and when; care guidance still governs contact with the new coating.
- Is the visit a standard number of hours?
- There is no reliable fixed time without the brief; describe accessible surfaces, finish requirements and the amount of dust.
- Can external windows be arranged too?
- Separate glazing from general room dust in the enquiry; unusual access and bonded deposits affect the scope.
- How should the access route be prepared?
- Set aside fragile belongings and remove obstructions; boards or rubble need separate arrangements.
Different project briefs
Kew: choose the relevant project detail
A refitted kitchen
A kitchen brief should separate ordinary dust from bonded installation marks.
A renovated bathroom
The bathroom can be installed yet still waiting for a product’s drying period.
Multiple spaces ready for review
Use a room schedule to distinguish dust removal from specialist residue questions.
An agent-managed handover
Explain what was refurbished and who can approve the relevant room priorities.
Premises access to assess
Ask whether the particular fit-out can be accommodated rather than assuming a contractor agreement.
Beyond the work zone
Look along the route the trades used
Walk the carrying route before finalising the list.
Compare low edges with accessible ledges; a quick glance across the floor may not show the full distribution of settled dust.
The surface list should make clear what can be reached. Appropriate cleaning methods follow those conditions, not a blanket treatment.
A later sanding visit can undo the sequence. Mention returning trades before arranging the clean.
A scoped quote
Price the work that remains
From £29/ hour
Alesta includes materials and equipment for the cleaning; the current price still needs confirmation.
Explain the practical workload before accepting a total. Separate window requirements and unusual residue need their own consideration.
| Project | Pricing basis | What to describe |
|---|---|---|
| Smaller refurbishment | From £29/hour; scope confirmed | Decorated areas and remaining deposits |
| Kitchen or bathroom work | From £29/hour; scope confirmed | Care notes for recently fitted items |
| Whole-property renovation | Quote based on the released areas | Dust spread and obstructions |
| Commercial refurbishment enquiry | Availability and scope need review | Premises condition and suitability questions |
Based on Alesta’s published after builders cleaning rate. Building waste removal is quoted separately.
Glass after renovation
A window enquiry starts with reach and material
Describe frames separately where they carry dust while the glass has bonded construction marks.
Flag construction deposits before agreeing window work; a harsh treatment may not be suitable for the glass or coating.
Plan separate window cleaning ↗Start with the work
What has changed inside the property?
Choose the relevant work type, then provide its actual condition when enquiring; the interactive options are planning prompts only.
Full renovation
Start with a room-by-room walk-through. Dust in adjoining spaces matters even where those rooms received no new fittings.
Kew / the specific room brief
The extension meets the original house at a cleaning boundary
The connecting doorway is worth checking even if the main work stayed inside the extension.
This Kew planning example centres on living-space extension completion. The connecting doorway is worth checking even if the main work stayed inside the extension. The useful inspection route follows the extension and adjoining original room, with attention to glazing surrounds and connecting floor edges.
Separate dust on the frame from building residue on glass. Keep any care notes for new glazing surrounds available when discussing the visible marks.
Confirm that internal access is clear of the final construction materials. Plan the transition back into the original living space.
The dust route
Map accessible detail before counting rooms
These zones describe a planning approach rather than measured rooms or customer premises.
Ledges & surfaces
Point out high and low resting surfaces that remain accessible after the project.
Frames & edges
Perimeter detail includes low junctions as well as the frame above a door.
Fittings & fixtures
Point out visible deposits on the fixtures, rather than adding an undefined deep-clean request.
Floors & adjoining rooms
Explain how dust reached neighbouring rooms; suitable floor care follows the material underneath.
Different issues / different scope
A surface mark is not always a dust problem
| Post-build issue | Example | How it is approached |
|---|---|---|
| Fine dust | Dry dust around accessible room fittings | Identify the material before selecting suitable cleaning. |
| Loose cleaning remnants | Minor loose remnants within the room brief | This is considered within the defined room scope. |
| Adhesive or labels | An unidentified mark beneath a label | Do not assume removal is suitable for the new finish. |
| Paint, plaster or cement spots | Bonded spots beside completed work | Treatment depends on the underlying surface and residue. |
| Protective film | A manufacturer’s film on new cabinetry | Do not remove by assumption; agree the responsibility. |
Two separate jobs
A finished room is not a waste-loading area
Fine dust and reachable edges
Room detail belongs in the clean where agreed, including ordinary dust and suitable accessible surfaces.
Separate waste-removal scope
Explain what bulky items remain before a quote is agreed, so cleaning is not confused with removal.
Discuss building waste disposal ↗A useful distinction
End the dusty stage, then agree access
Builder stage
Close the dusty work
- Confirm which trades are finished and which may return.
- Take tools and loose materials out of the proposed work route.
- Do not schedule contact cleaning on finishes still curing.
Cleaning stage
Prepare access to the surfaces
- Agree the accessible surfaces before the visit is arranged.
- Separate fitting marks from ordinary surface dust.
- Check the scoped work before preparing the next stage.
Room-by-room brief
Four room types, different cleaning detail
Kitchen
Explain where fitting dust remains around the units. Internal storage and specialist marks should not be silently added.
Bathroom
List the sanitary areas being included and mention installation marks before expecting treatment.
Bedrooms
Wardrobe interiors require discussion if the work affected them; the room label alone does not include everything.
Living areas
Name exposed ledges and frame detail before furniture makes them harder to reach.
Protect the new finish
Separate dirt from a damaged finish
Illustrative surface review.
Start with the surface, then identify the deposit.
Separate loose dust from bonded material. Safe treatment depends on both the deposit and the finish, and specialist work may need another quote.
Paint & sealants
Keep newly applied sealants outside cleaning work until their instructions permit it.
Stone, timber & tiles
Provide floor or tile care notes alongside the room list.
Metal, glass & cabinetry
Record installation marks on new fittings before discussing their removal.
Before the next property stage
Four stages between the trades and the next use
Work completed
Confirm work completion before agreeing the cleaning date.
Detailed clean
Follow the material-aware room priorities.
Final review
Review the task list and identify unresolved marks.
Move towards normal use
Move towards the property’s agreed next use.
The sequence is illustrative, not a before-and-after record of the same home.
Build your brief
Organise the details Alesta needs
Keep the initial enquiry concrete and useful.
Use the summary as a note for a conversation; nothing is submitted and no appointment or quotation is created.
The output does not judge surface condition. Discuss its details directly, including separate waste and window requirements where relevant.
Discuss the brief: 020 3608 3976Who is planning the handover?
Choose the person who can agree the room priorities
Homeowners
Explain which rooms you want back in use and keep the renovation tasks distinct from everyday household cleaning.
Landlords & property managers
Pass on access instructions and the renovation brief, with any additional property-management requirements clearly labelled.
Builders & contractors
Describe the proposed coordination without presuming it is offered under a standard contract; project suitability requires direct confirmation.
Service-area planning
Service enquiries for Kew
Use the map to locate the Kew service area, not an Alesta branch. Provide the actual address when asking about access and appointment availability.
For another nearby area, contact Alesta through the main after builders service to confirm coverage and availability.

Questions about planning the Kew clean
Where should I start with this Kew cleaning brief?
A precise account helps avoid two different expectations of the visit. Include access, material notes and the particular finishing priorities. The connecting doorway is worth checking even if the main work stayed inside the extension.
How should entry to the Kew property be arranged?
If someone else controls access, establish their arrangements before requesting a date. Cleaning availability does not override building rules. Confirm that internal access is clear of the final construction materials.
How do you approach the new surfaces?
The aim is appropriate cleaning, not refinishing. Identify the material, explain when it was installed and flag anything the supplier says should not be used. Separate dust on the frame from building residue on glass.
Should I include the space beyond the work area?
The brief can cross the building-work boundary. That should follow the condition observed, not an automatic assumption about the entire property. Here, inspect the extension and adjoining original room.
Why does the final quote need property details?
Use £29 per hour as the starting reference, not a guaranteed project total. Surface condition and practical access help determine the time; cleaning materials and equipment are included.
How should a staged renovation be planned?
If the project schedule changes, raise it before the cleaning date. Ready surfaces, clear access and an end to dusty work all affect the arrangement.
What if bulky packaging is still present?
The hourly cleaning guide does not absorb waste collection. Identify what needs taking away and arrange the relevant scope before it blocks surface access.
Do extras need their own scope?
Describe what the carpet or glazing needs rather than adding a broad “extras” request. Suitability, availability and any residue limitations should be discussed.
What affects the time required at this property?
A proposed handover date helps with planning but does not set the cleaning duration. Accessible detail, dust and materials all affect the work required. Plan the transition back into the original living space.
Can further treatment be needed after dust removal?
Any unresolved surface issue should be identified at review. Further treatment is not automatically part of the original scope.
Your project / the final clean
Discuss the extension and adjoining original room
Describe the completed work and the areas it affected, then ask Alesta to confirm the practical scope for your property.
