Kitchen
A new worktop and surrounding cabinets need their materials noted, with cleaning limited to the agreed accessible detail.
Belgravia · Reception rooms after the decorators leave
Reception rooms after the decorators leave.
Plan where furnishings will return after the clean.
Painted panelling introduces more ledges than a quick view across an empty room suggests. For your Belgravia enquiry, describe the adjoining reception rooms. Ask the decorator which coatings are ready for contact cleaning.

Illustrative renovation scene; no customer job or measured result is represented.
Build your brief
A few specifics make the scope easier to discuss.
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.

Painted panelling introduces more ledges than a quick view across an empty room suggests.
This Belgravia planning example centres on redecorated reception rooms. Painted panelling introduces more ledges than a quick view across an empty room suggests. The useful inspection route follows the adjoining reception rooms, with attention to panel tops and recessed details.
Ask the decorator which coatings are ready for contact cleaning. Keep any care notes for freshly painted panelling available when discussing the visible marks.
Nominate a keyholder who can open every agreed room. Plan where furnishings will return after the clean.
Room-by-room brief
A new worktop and surrounding cabinets need their materials noted, with cleaning limited to the agreed accessible detail.
Bathroom floor care follows the material, while new coatings and seals need their own instructions.
Look at door frames and floor edges before returning bedroom furniture to its position.
The room may retain furniture; explain which surrounding surfaces remain reachable for the requested cleaning.

A scoped quote
From £29/ hour

| Whole-property renovation | Quote after the room scope is reviewed | Released spaces and connecting routes |
| Commercial refurbishment enquiry | Discuss premises before a quote | Building restrictions and release dates |
Based on Alesta’s published after builders cleaning rate. Building waste removal is quoted separately.
Start with the work
The project choice helps separate cleaning considerations. Alesta still needs the room condition and access details.
Keep the renovation schedule beside the cleaning list so unfinished work is not mistaken for a released area.
Beyond the work zone

Do not let the room name decide the dust boundary.
Doorways, exposed shelves and floor junctions offer different clues about where the work left deposits. Include the affected ones in the enquiry.
Give concrete examples of the detail you want included; this makes the discussion more useful than asking for everything to be spotless.
A revised works programme should prompt a review of the cleaning date, rather than an assumption that nothing changes.
The dust route
Treat each zone as a prompt when explaining what your renovation affected.
External shelves and sill tops can reveal deposits missed from the doorway.
The doorway joins two cleaning zones; describe dust on both sides.
Point out visible deposits on the fixtures, rather than adding an undefined deep-clean request.
The exit route may need attention even where no building work occurred.
Different issues / different scope
| Post-build issue | Example | How it is approached |
|---|---|---|
| Fine dust | Fine material along the room perimeter | Identify the material before selecting suitable cleaning. |
| Loose cleaning remnants | Small deposits left across affected surfaces | Confirm inclusion instead of assuming site clearance. |
| Adhesive or labels | A label mark on an installed fitting | Installer information may be needed before treatment is agreed. |
| Paint, plaster or cement spots | Visible spotting after wet trades | Treatment depends on the underlying surface and residue. |
| Protective film | A fitting still wearing its protective layer | Ask the installer and Alesta before treating this as waste. |
Two separate jobs
List the surface tasks still required after tools and loose materials have been removed.
If materials still occupy the room, discuss clearance independently and establish what will be accessible.
Discuss building waste disposal ↗Different project briefs
Explain how the apartment will return to use and which routes carried tools.
Name the worktop material and coating before discussing fitting residue on cabinetry.
A newly fitted bathroom needs coating and sealant information with its room list.
Group the agreed rooms by readiness, not only by floor level.
Explain what was refurbished and who can approve the relevant room priorities.
Ask whether the particular fit-out can be accommodated rather than assuming a contractor agreement.
A useful distinction
Builder stage
Cleaning stage
Protect the new finish

Illustrative surface review.
A cleaning brief should name what lies beneath the residue.
Describe existing scratches or discolouration before the visit. A finishing clean addresses agreed residue; it does not refinish an installed surface.
Different products can reach cleaning readiness at different times.
Identify whether a specialist finish changes the proposed cleaning method.
Glass and coated metal require their own residue assessment.
At a glance
Who is planning the handover?
Share your practical return-to-use plan without assuming the visit includes unrelated domestic tasks.
Identify the person releasing the property and separate renovation priorities from other letting requirements.
Describe remaining trades and site access, then ask about project coordination; contractor arrangements require confirmation.
Glass after renovation

Do not assume the room clean includes every glass surface. List window requirements alongside the access details.
Flag construction deposits before agreeing window work; a harsh treatment may not be suitable for the glass or coating.
Plan separate window cleaning ↗Service-area planning
Use the map to locate the Belgravia 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.
Before the appointment
Identify the released area first. Then separate removable deposits from unfinished work and any requirements outside ordinary cleaning. Painted panelling introduces more ledges than a quick view across an empty room suggests.
Describe the route inside as well as the street address. Narrow circulation or stored materials may affect what is practical even where the rooms themselves are clear. Nominate a keyholder who can open every agreed room.
Loose deposits may be straightforward to discuss, while a bonded mark can need another assessment. Neither should be treated without knowing the finish. Ask the decorator which coatings are ready for contact cleaning.
A protected room may have exposed details that need attention. Explain what you can see rather than assuming either complete exclusion or a whole-home clean. Here, inspect the adjoining reception rooms.
A final figure needs a scope review even though the starting rate is published: from £29/hour, with cleaning materials and equipment included.
Work release is a practical question. Identify which spaces are free of tools, ready for cleaning and no longer awaiting dust-producing tasks.
Do not leave bulky packaging inside an undefined cleaning request. Describe the amount and access for removal, then agree the surface work independently.
Ask about these separately and identify the relevant surfaces. Window access, carpet treatment and construction deposits may need different arrangements, with availability confirmed directly.
Allow the scope to be confirmed before relying on a handover time. New finishes must also meet their own care requirements. Plan where furnishings will return after the clean.
Safety for the finish can limit removal. Ask what sort of additional assessment is appropriate instead of demanding a harsher method.
Your project / the final clean
Tell Alesta where the project stands and which surfaces need attention. Timing and price follow an agreed brief.
