A flat awaiting its next use
An unfurnished flat offers access to edges that may later be hidden. Tell Alesta whether it will still be empty when the proposed visit takes place.

Bow After Builders Cleaning
Find the clear perimeter after flooring work
A clear brief for putting furniture back.
Floor replacement often moves furniture into the very spaces needed for the final clean. For Bow, describe the accessible perimeter, new finish and storage arrangement so the visit is planned around the real room condition.
- Name the exposed skirting and floor corners.
- Share care information for replacement floor finish.
- Identify where furniture has been moved.
- Arrange practical access after tools leave the rooms.

Identify before treating
Not every visible mark is a cleaning deposit
| What is visible | Observation | Decision required |
|---|---|---|
| Accessible dust | exposed skirting and floor corners | List the exposed detail for the quotation. |
| Ordinary cleaning remnants | Light material beside fittings | Confirm inclusion among the surface tasks. |
| Possible sticky residue | Labels or marks beside replacement floor finish | A suitable method and inclusion both need agreement. |
| Hardened fitting deposits | Isolated spots near the exposed skirting and floor corners | Safe removal cannot be assumed from appearance. |
| Remaining protective layer | Film around newly fitted detail | Agree handling with suitable care information available. |
Different work leaves different detail
Match the enquiry to the project condition
A recently installed kitchen
Kitchen detail should distinguish accessible fronts from the contents and interiors of cupboards. List additional work explicitly before the quotation is agreed.
Cleaning around new fittings
A bathroom brief can include the agreed tiles, sanitaryware and suitable flooring. Flag new seals before the method or date is settled.
A wider room list
Whole-property scope needs the route between rooms as well as their names. Include the spaces used for equipment and material removal.
A landlord’s work list
If an agent holds the keys, provide a contact who can clarify new finishes and remaining works. Access and scope are separate pieces of information.
Business-space availability
An office enquiry needs more than a room count. Provide the handover contact and ask Alesta whether the particular project can be accommodated.
At your Bow property
Find the clear perimeter after flooring work
Start at exposed corners and follow the skirting line.
Explain where furniture has been moved and which route remains clear. Do not assume heavy items will be repositioned as part of a finishing-clean quotation.
Coordinate any final decorating with the floor’s readiness. Returning trades can change both access and the dust level after an initial tidy.
Review the reachable perimeter and the agreed surfaces before furniture is redistributed. Note any blocked areas rather than describing them as completed.
Quoting the Bow work
The hourly guide needs a defined scope
From £29/ hour
The published service includes cleaning equipment and materials. Check the applicable rate and tasks with Alesta before proceeding.
The final figure needs the actual property condition. Do not read the starting rate as an all-inclusive project price.
| Room brief | Price basis | What informs the quote |
|---|---|---|
| One affected space | Starts at £29/hour; confirm tasks | Condition of the exposed skirting and floor corners |
| New room fittings | Discuss work from £29/hour | Readiness of replacement floor finish |
| A multi-room brief | Total to follow the room brief | Room access before putting furniture back |
| Proposed commercial work | Availability and scope to agree | Suitability and property condition |
Based on Alesta’s published after builders cleaning rate. Bulky material needs separate pricing.
Questions for this project
Planning the Bow finishing visit
How can I make the scope clearer?
Use exposed skirting and floor corners as a starting point and explain which adjoining surfaces were affected. The quotation should follow the actual room condition.
What access information is needed after furniture was moved for flooring?
Tell Alesta where the items stand now and which edges remain visible. A room cleared for the installer may no longer be clear on the proposed cleaning day. Do not assume the visit includes moving heavy pieces back and forth; agree the reachable floor and detail around the actual arrangement.
How should surface uncertainty be described?
Identify replacement floor finish and provide the applicable care notes. An unknown finish should remain a question rather than receive an assumed treatment.
Does the scope stop at the doorway?
Explain where dust appears outside the original work area. Alesta can discuss that extension without turning exposed skirting and floor corners into an unlimited whole-home brief.
Is there one price for every property?
The hourly figure begins at £29 and includes equipment and cleaning materials. Confirm what the quote covers before treating it as a budget for the property.
Should the floor clean happen before the last decorating touch-up?
Explain the remaining touch-up and the flooring product’s readiness guidance before setting the order. Later decorating can affect a surface that has already been cleaned. The useful sequence depends on those facts, and cleaning should not be expected to repair marks sealed into the floor’s finish.
Does the cleaning quote include disposal?
The contractor’s remaining materials need a different agreement from dust removal. Explain what is left before the visit is planned.
What if another cleaning service is needed?
Ask about the actual glass faces or carpet areas wanted. Confirmation of the extra work is needed before relying on it.
When should I plan the next property task?
Ask about timing with the full brief rather than selecting a fixed slot from the page. Different fittings and deposits create different workloads.
When might specialist advice be needed?
Do not equate every remaining spot with overlooked dust. Damage or difficult residue on replacement floor finish may require another professional decision.
Describe the Bow work
Begin with the work that has finished
Describe the project through a category if useful, but do not assume all suggested tasks are included.
Full renovation
Explain what is complete and what still needs a trade. The cleaning plan should reflect that actual stage, not only the original renovation schedule.
Inspect the affected route
Where to look beyond the exposed skirting and floor corners
Follow the deposits into adjoining spaces.
Inspect the skirting line and corners left exposed after the floor was fitted. Areas concealed by moved furniture should be identified before they are included in expectations.
Tell Alesta which coverings have already been removed and which surfaces are exposed. Their previous protection does not prove they are clean now.
Keep remaining work visible in the scheduling conversation.
Draw the cleaning boundary
A cleaning boundary needs more than walls
Use the room diagram to spot missing questions; it is not a measured customer floor plan.
Accessible ledges
Check accessible tops and lips beside fitted items, including surfaces not obvious from the doorway.
Room boundaries
Look at the junctions beside fitted items rather than relying on the room’s overall appearance.
Installed items
Describe the accessible fixture detail and any recently applied coatings before methods are selected.
Connecting routes
Check the passage beyond the work area and ask whether affected floor sections should be included.
Keep clearance outside the dust brief
Do not combine cleaning with assumed clearance
Surface cleaning
Agree dust and fitting detail as cleaning tasks, with any resistant residue separately assessed.
Materials awaiting removal
If waste blocks access, resolve its removal before assuming the entire room can be cleaned. Disposal is separately scoped and priced.
Ask about separate building waste collection ↗Check the conditions for arrival
Work finished and cleaning-ready are different checks
Before the clean
Release the affected spaces
- Release the agreed areas from active renovation tasks.
- Explain any obstruction that cannot be cleared beforehand.
- Check readiness with the relevant installer or decorator.
For the appointment
Confirm what can be reached
- Identify where furniture has been moved.
- Identify the finish underneath each difficult mark.
- Discuss any unresolved residue before the next stage.
Name rooms, not an unlimited checklist
Give each affected space its own description
Kitchen
Describe the fitted items and the care notes available for them. The kitchen’s overall size does not establish its cleaning workload.
Bathroom
Reachable sanitary detail may be included by agreement. Ask specifically about shower glass or other work beyond the named surfaces.
Bedrooms
Name the bedroom finishes recently changed and any dust beyond those areas. This gives a clearer brief than an identical checklist for every room.
Living areas
Living areas may contain retained furniture beside new fittings. Describe the exposed surfaces without assuming treatment of the furniture itself.
A finish is not just a colour
Check replacement floor finish before treatment
Illustrated material assessment.
Readiness and residue are separate questions.
Get the new floor’s cleaning instructions from the installer. Dust lying on top and a mark within the finish are different issues, and cleaning is not a remedy for fitting defects.
Recently applied finishes
Ask when contact cleaning is permitted, not just when paint feels dry.
Identify each material
Keep floor and tile guidance available for discussion.
Coated and fitted detail
Give the condition of exposed cabinet faces.
A sequence, not a completion guarantee
Four stages to discuss before handover
Release the work area
Describe the actual completion state of the rooms.
Clean the agreed detail
Match the surface approach to its material and condition.
Discuss what remains
Note surfaces that remain outside the agreed access.
Plan the next activity
Separate the next property task from the completed clean.
No measured result is represented by the stage images.
Brief answers, clear limits
Check the main limits before proceeding
- What is the Bow starting rate?
- Use £29 per hour as the starting guide, with scope and current rate checked before booking.
- Which detail can be included?
- Reachable dust deposits and relevant kitchen or bathroom detail can be discussed before quoting.
- When can the visit happen?
- The room must be released and reachable; a completion date alone is not enough.
- What about bonded residue?
- Hard spots require assessment; they are not interchangeable with loose dust.
- Does the rate cover disposal?
- Construction waste needs its own quote and access description.
- What about new kitchen fittings?
- Kitchen work can be discussed after readiness and surface condition are clarified.
- Should paint readiness be confirmed?
- The brief can follow decorating without implying that every splash is safely removable.
- Can size alone set the schedule?
- The page does not promise a universal slot for every refurbishment.
- Are window extras automatic?
- Window work requires confirmation of availability and the particular scope.
- What must be removed beforehand?
- Explain remaining materials rather than assuming the team will relocate them.
Prepare a conversation, not a booking
Make the room requirements easier to explain
Collect the project basics before contacting Alesta.
Use the floor-work description, then add the blocked-edge information directly. The tool cannot plan furniture movement, send an enquiry, reserve a slot or calculate a total.
Identify the exposed perimeter on the visit day. Furniture displaced by flooring can change the proposed scope.
Talk through the room list: 020 3608 3976Make the responsible contact clear
Keep access and decisions connected
Homeowners
Explain where the furniture went during flooring work and where it will be on the cleaning day. A perimeter hidden by stored items cannot simply be treated as part of an empty room.
Landlords & property managers
A managing contact should identify remaining trade work before arranging handover. Cleaning does not certify the construction project.
Builders & contractors
The relevant contractor contact should identify material restrictions and obstructions. Alesta must confirm the arrangement before it is relied on.
Glazing is an explicit request
Distinguish glass cleaning from hard-residue treatment
Before requesting window work, explain where furniture moved for the floor replacement is now stored. A pane blocked by those items is not equivalent to one in the cleared part of the room.
The type of mark and any glass coating matter before treatment. Do not assume scraping is appropriate for a newly fitted pane.
Ask about the window scope ↗Address and access
Discuss availability at the Bow address
The Bow location helps identify the enquiry, but access still depends on the building. No local office is implied.
For another property, contact Alesta about the service before assuming attendance.
