Canary Wharf · Two upgraded rooms, surface-specific care
Two upgraded rooms, surface-specific care
A clear brief for using both upgraded rooms.
Kitchen and bathroom upgrades can leave delicate stone and glass beside ordinary settled dust. For a Canary Wharf apartment, identify those surfaces and arrange the concierge and lift details before the finishing visit.

The image is illustrative and does not depict a customer job.
Describe the Canary Wharf work
The work type helps start the brief. Alesta still needs to know what remains and which areas can be reached.
Start with the spaces affected and explain how they connect. The dust boundary can differ from the work boundary, while finishes may need different treatment.
Inspect the affected route

Dust patterns do not always match room names.
Inspect accessible ledges around both rooms and the route between them. Loose deposits can be scoped separately from isolated marks on stone or glass, which need closer assessment.
The enquiry should follow the dust that is visible, not merely the contractor’s work-room label. Agree any adjoining areas explicitly.
Tell Alesta if a trade must return to the agreed rooms.
At your Canary Wharf property
Separate widespread dust from isolated deposits on stone or glass.
Confirm concierge entry and any lift booking needed for equipment. Share the flat number and the contact who can clarify access if the building procedure changes.
Ask whether either installer still needs to return and whether all finishes are ready. The completion of one upgraded room does not release the other automatically.
Review the two room briefs individually, including any glass work agreed separately. Remaining specialist residue or fitting defects should be recorded without implying a guaranteed removal result.
Quoting the Canary Wharf work
From £29/ hour
Materials and equipment are included for the cleaning service. The hourly starting figure does not replace an individual quotation.
Access and materials can change the cleaning plan. Mention unusual requirements so they are not assumed included in the hourly guide.
| Project scope | How quoted | Detail needed |
|---|---|---|
| One affected space | £29/hour starting guide only | Condition of the kitchen and bathroom connecting ledges |
| A refitted wet room | Discuss work from £29/hour | Readiness of stone and glass finishes |
| Whole-property scope | Condition-based quotation required | Room access before using both upgraded rooms |
| Proposed commercial work | Enquiry reviewed before pricing | Premises and attendance requirements |
Based on Alesta’s published after builders cleaning rate. Collection of building materials requires its own quote.
A sequence, not a completion guarantee

Establish which spaces can be reached on the day.

Address the named deposits and suitable floor areas.

Note surfaces that remain outside the agreed access.

Separate the next property task from the completed clean.
The sequence is explanatory; the images do not promise an outcome.
Draw the cleaning boundary
These categories organise the conversation. They do not promise that every pictured detail is included.
Dust may be visible on exposed ledges after the central floor looks tidy; name those needing attention.
A threshold can connect dusty and relatively protected areas; describe both conditions.
Reachable fixture exteriors may form part of the agreement; special treatments need a separate decision.
Check the passage beyond the work area and ask whether affected floor sections should be included.
Identify before treating
| Deposit | Location | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Dry surface dust | kitchen and bathroom connecting ledges | Check which surfaces can be cleaned safely. |
| Minor loose residue | Non-bulky cleaning residue | Treat as cleaning only where included in the scope. |
| Labels or adhesive | Labels or marks beside stone and glass finishes | Check what the installer says about the material. |
| Hard construction spots | Isolated spots near the kitchen and bathroom connecting ledges | Some spots need a specialist decision. |
| Factory film | Film around newly fitted detail | Film may have a specific release instruction; ask first. |
Keep clearance outside the dust brief
Surface work can be planned once the required areas are accessible. Clearing a stock of building supplies is another responsibility.
Large packaging and building materials need a distinct agreement, even when clearing them first would help the cleaning sequence.
Ask about separate building waste collection ↗Different work leaves different detail
A flat enquiry should give the usable entrance and the affected rooms. A locked or obstructed area cannot be assumed available just because its renovation has finished.
Describe the floor at the kitchen entrance as well as the fitted units. Dust from the work may reach surfaces beyond the new cabinetry.
Sanitaryware can carry both loose deposits and installation damage. Explain what is visible without assuming every mark is safely removable.
Whole-property scope needs the route between rooms as well as their names. Include the spaces used for equipment and material removal.
The person arranging a rental-property clean should explain what work was completed. Previous occupation marks may not belong to the post-build scope.
Commercial suitability must be checked for the specific premises. Explain the proposed work and site access before expecting a contractor arrangement.
Check the conditions for arrival
Before the clean
For the appointment
Name rooms, not an unlimited checklist
A kitchen list should identify new finishes and visible residue, not merely say deep clean. Cabinet interiors require explicit discussion.
Reachable sanitary detail may be included by agreement. Ask specifically about shower glass or other work beyond the named surfaces.
Name the bedroom finishes recently changed and any dust beyond those areas. This gives a clearer brief than an identical checklist for every room.
Check the room boundary where trades passed through. Name any living-area deposits that should be priced beyond the main renovation zone.
A finish is not just a colour

Illustrated material assessment.
Cleaning does not correct installation damage.
Give the stone type and glazing details, including coatings or installer restrictions. Safe removal of paint, cement or adhesive cannot be promised merely because a surface is newly installed.
Check the newest application before planning the method.
Describe the real material rather than its colour or effect.
Ask about labels before assuming their removal.
Brief answers, clear limits
Prepare a conversation, not a booking
Describe the work without assuming a fixed package.
The options cannot assess stone coatings or glazing marks. Add their details in direct discussion; this private summary does not send information, create a booking or determine a price.
Supply the stone and glazing details directly. The broad controls cannot assess their coatings or resistant deposits.
Talk through the room list: 020 3608 3976Make the responsible contact clear
Keep the kitchen and bathroom material notes separate, even if they are being handed over together. Stone, glass and newly sealed edges should not inherit one assumed cleaning method.
A managing contact should identify remaining trade work before arranging handover. Cleaning does not certify the construction project.
Describe the proposed handover stage without treating this page as a contract offer. Availability and coordination must be checked.
Glazing is an explicit request

Identify bathroom glass and apartment windows as distinct requests, with any coatings or hard deposits noted. Concierge entry and lift arrangements help access but do not determine which glass treatment is suitable.
Identify installation residue separately from general dust on glass. Safe removal and its inclusion must be confirmed.
Ask about the window scope ↗Address and access
The map indicates the Canary Wharf service area, not an office address. Provide the actual property and access details when asking about availability.
If the address differs, visit the main after builders page and confirm availability.
Questions for this project
Use kitchen and bathroom connecting ledges as a starting point and explain which adjoining surfaces were affected. The quotation should follow the actual room condition.
Explain who can open the agreed areas and where equipment must pass. Access to kitchen and bathroom connecting ledges should not depend on moving unmentioned materials.
Any uncertainty about stone and glass finishes belongs in the enquiry. More aggressive removal is not a substitute for understanding the finish.
A neighbouring room may need attention even without new fittings. Describe its condition alongside kitchen and bathroom connecting ledges and agree the additional work.
No fixed total follows from the hourly guide. Alesta publishes from £29/hour and includes cleaning equipment and materials; the proposed tasks still need agreement.
Explain any returning trades before arranging the appointment. New deposits after the visit are not automatically covered by the earlier scope.
Discuss waste separately, especially if it obstructs the planned work. The hourly cleaning guide is not a collection price.
Either can be requested, but they are additional scopes with their own access and availability checks. Resistant glazing marks need assessment as well.
Allow the visit to be discussed around the property, with remaining trades identified. This page does not promise a universal number of hours.
Where ordinary cleaning is unsuitable for stone and glass finishes, specialist advice may be needed. Complete removal of all building marks is not an assurance.
Canary Wharf / next conversation
Bring the room priorities and any uncertain marks to the first conversation. The aim is a clear scope rather than an assumed standard package.
