Different issues / different scope
A surface mark is not always a dust problem
| Post-build issue | Example | How it is approached |
|---|---|---|
| Fine dust | Settled deposits on exposed horizontal detail | Include the affected locations in the scoped tasks. |
| Loose cleaning remnants | Small surface deposits after the work | Coverage depends on the agreed cleaning tasks. |
| Adhesive or labels | Adhesive visible on a new surface | Ask about inclusion after the material has been assessed. |
| 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 | This is not automatically part of a cleaning visit. |
Different project briefs
Brentford: choose the relevant project detail
A refitted kitchen
List new fittings alongside their care notes, not under one generic surface label.

A newly fitted bathroom needs coating and sealant information with its room list.
Multiple spaces ready for review
Separate the released rooms from areas still occupied by tools or materials.
Cleaning after rental improvements
Give the keyholder details alongside the rooms released after works.
Enquiring about fit-out cleaning
Alesta must confirm suitability for the premises and any requested project coordination.
Brentford / the specific room brief
A kitchen replacement within shared-building access
External cupboard detail and the journey to the apartment both affect the visit.
This Brentford planning example centres on apartment kitchen replacement. External cupboard detail and the journey to the apartment both affect the visit. The useful inspection route follows the apartment kitchen and access corridor, with attention to coated panels and cupboard bases.
Flag protective film rather than assuming removal is part of ordinary cleaning. Keep any care notes for coated kitchen panels available when discussing the visible marks.
Confirm lift rules and usable space for carrying equipment. Agree cabinet surface priorities before the kitchen is stocked again.
A scoped quote

Before the appointment
Questions about planning the Brentford clean
Where should I start with this Brentford cleaning brief?
Build the request around the surfaces that need attention before normal use resumes. Additional rooms and services should be named rather than implied. External cupboard detail and the journey to the apartment both affect the visit.
How can I make the cleaning route clear?
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. Confirm lift rules and usable space for carrying equipment.
How do you approach the new surfaces?
Describe the coated panels and tell Alesta whether protective film remains. Film removal should be agreed with reference to the installer’s guidance, not assumed to be ordinary dust cleaning. Any scratches or fitting defects should be identified separately.
Should I include the space beyond the work area?
Another room is relevant when it shows renovation effects, but the quotation must include it explicitly. Explain the affected detail. Here, inspect the apartment kitchen and access corridor.
Why does the final quote need property details?
A final figure needs a scope review even though the starting rate is published: from £29/hour, with cleaning materials and equipment included.
Should I mention the remaining installation work?
A later contractor attendance may affect the proposed room priorities. Raise it before agreeing the timing and avoid assuming repeat cleaning is included.
What if bulky packaging is still present?
Construction waste needs its own access and quantity information. Keep it outside the cleaning-rate assumption.
Can building residue on glass be guaranteed to lift?
No blanket promise applies to hardened deposits on glass. Tell Alesta where the marks are and request a separate glazing assessment. A suitable cleaning method must account for the glass finish as well as the material attached to it.
How should drying guidance affect my schedule?
Check the kitchen supplier’s instructions for newly applied finishes before selecting a date. If a coating is not ready for cleaning, explain that when discussing the available areas. Stocking the cupboards should be coordinated with the agreed surface work, not used to rush drying.
What if a difficult mark is still visible?
A remaining mark may belong to the finish rather than loose dirt. It should be identified instead of subjected to an aggressive method just to force a result.
Start with the work
Select a starting point for the room brief
The project choice helps separate cleaning considerations. Alesta still needs the room condition and access details.
Full renovation
For extensive works, note the sequence in which areas become available. Match cleaning priorities to released surfaces and their care requirements.
Beyond the work zone
Look along the route the trades used
Check where the last tools were carried out.
The final removal of tools can leave a different trail from the installation itself. Check the exit route as part of the enquiry.
The brief should describe reach and material as well as dust level, allowing suitable removal methods to be discussed.
A revised works programme should prompt a review of the cleaning date, rather than an assumption that nothing changes.
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
Inspect the line where floors meet skirting and where door frames meet the wall.
Fittings & fixtures
Radiator edges and accessible fittings should be part of the agreed room discussion.
Floors & adjoining rooms
Connect the room being cleaned with the passage used during the renovation.
Two separate jobs
Two enquiries may be needed after the build
Agreed surface-cleaning detail
Use the clean to address the exposed surfaces affected by works, with the specific detail agreed before attendance.
Items obstructing the route
A waste enquiry should explain both what remains and how it can leave the property. Keep that separate from surface cleaning.
Discuss building waste disposal ↗A useful distinction
Make the final-stage sequence practical
Builder stage
Close the dusty work
- Check that the installer has completed the relevant area.
- Keep construction storage away from the agreed room access.
- Keep recently applied coatings subject to their care guidance.
Cleaning stage
Release the room detail
- Give the team a clear room list and entry arrangement.
- Flag existing damage so it is not mistaken for dirt.
- Check the scoped work before preparing the next stage.
Room-by-room brief
Make the room list useful for a quotation
Kitchen
List external units, worktop material and floor edges. Appliance exteriors or additional internal detail need explicit discussion.
Bathroom
Record the bathroom’s new materials and any curing instructions alongside the proposed fixture and floor tasks.
Bedrooms
Describe exposed frame and floor deposits before adding any storage-interior requirement to the proposed work.
Living areas
A clear living-area brief distinguishes construction deposits from unrelated household cleaning.
Protect the new finish
Separate dirt from a damaged finish
Illustrative surface review.
A stubborn spot does not justify a harsher method.
Installer instructions help establish what contact cleaning is appropriate. Where guidance is missing, flag that uncertainty rather than guessing the product.
Paint & sealants
Ask the decorator when the coating can be cleaned, not only when it feels dry.
Stone, timber & tiles
Describe the coating as well as the material wherever possible.
Metal, glass & cabinetry
Record installation marks on new fittings before discussing their removal.
From renovation to room use
Close one stage before opening the next
Work completed
Check which rooms are genuinely available.
Detailed clean
Work through scoped surface and floor tasks.
Final review
Compare completed detail with the agreed priorities.
Coordinate the next step
Plan furnishing once the scoped review is complete.

At a glance
Before choosing a cleaning date
- Can the room count give a final cost?
- A final quotation needs the property details. Alesta publishes a starting hourly rate of £29, rather than one universal total.
- What belongs in a builders-clean enquiry?
- It is a detailed post-build clean, scoped around access, room condition and surface care rather than floors alone.
- How should the clean fit into the work schedule?
- Use the end of dusty work as the planning point, subject to access and the readiness of new surfaces.
- Will plaster marks definitely come off?
- Loose dust and bonded residue are different. Describe the mark before assuming it fits the standard scope.
- Is waste collection included automatically?
- No. Describe timber, boards and packaging separately so collection can be considered independently.
- What should a kitchen handover brief say?
- List cabinetry exteriors, fittings and relevant floor areas; do not assume internal storage or specialist marks are included.
- What matters after room decoration?
- The scope can follow decoration, provided the finishes have dried appropriately and the tasks are agreed.
- How is timing discussed?
- The duration follows the condition of the agreed areas. Detailed fittings and awkward routes can change the practical workload.
- How is glass after building work handled?
- Request window work separately and describe access. Availability and treatment of construction deposits need confirmation.
- Can tools remain in the cleaning area?
- Set aside fragile belongings and remove obstructions; boards or rubble need separate arrangements.
Build your brief
Use the planner to clarify the work
Start with five practical details about the property.
A scope summary is a starting note, not a booking. The tool does not transmit the answers to Alesta.
Further assessment may be needed for difficult deposits, unusual materials or extras. The planner cannot settle those questions or the final price.
Discuss the brief: 020 3608 3976Who is planning the handover?
Set out the next use and the decision-maker
Homeowners
Tell Alesta where you are still living and what can be made accessible after the works.
Landlords & property managers
Pass on access instructions and the renovation brief, with any additional property-management requirements clearly labelled.
Builders & contractors
Ask Alesta whether the specific project can be accommodated, including any site rules or coordination requirements.
Glass after renovation
Do not turn glazing into an assumed extra
Internal glazing in the cleaning area is a different request from exterior access work. Specify which you need.
Bonded marks are not equivalent to surface dust. Safe treatment must be considered rather than promised.
