Who is planning the handover?
Different contacts bring different project details

A managed-property enquiry should specify access, completed works and the intended handover, not assume a tenancy package.
Builders & contractors
Set out the work release dates and access needs before relying on cleaning as part of a contractor schedule.
Chiswick / the specific room brief
A ground-floor project connects several living areas
Kitchen dust may reach the family seating space even when no fitting took place there.
This Chiswick planning example centres on family-home ground-floor renovation. Kitchen dust may reach the family seating space even when no fitting took place there. The useful inspection route follows the ground-floor kitchen and living spaces, with attention to timber trim and connected-room ledges.
Include visible deposits beside retained furnishings without assuming their treatment is included. Keep any care notes for new timber trim available when discussing the visible marks.
Identify a clear route on the ground floor before the visit. Decide which rooms need to return to ordinary household use first.
Room-by-room brief
Connect each room with its intended next use
Kitchen
Tell Alesta which external kitchen surfaces are affected and where additional residue needs assessment; avoid an undefined appliance checklist.
Bathroom
The bathroom list should identify grout residue rather than treating every pale deposit as loose dust.
Bedrooms
Wardrobe interiors require discussion if the work affected them; the room label alone does not include everything.
Living areas
Explain the dust boundary across connected living areas, including any special surface-care notes.
A scoped quote
Price the work that remains
From £29/ hour
The cleaning service includes its materials and equipment; confirm the applicable rate before the appointment proceeds.
The final figure needs the material, access and detail information. Additional services such as waste or specialist treatment are not assumed.
| Project | Pricing basis | What to describe |
|---|---|---|
| Smaller refurbishment | From £29/hour; scope confirmed | Room condition beyond the floor area |
| Kitchen or bathroom work | From £29/hour; scope confirmed | Installed surfaces and any fitting marks |
| Whole-property renovation | Quote after the room scope is reviewed | Condition across the complete room list |
| Commercial refurbishment enquiry | Confirm suitability before pricing | Premises condition and suitability questions |

Planning beyond the trades
A practical sequence for the released rooms
Work completed
Make remaining deposits and obstructions clear.
Detailed clean
Follow the material-aware room priorities.
Final review
Compare completed detail with the agreed priorities.
Bring the room back into the plan
Arrange the next stage around the reviewed areas.
Pictures represent planning stages and should not be read as customer evidence.
Start with the work
What has changed inside the property?
Select the work closest to yours to organise the enquiry. A selection does not confirm the full scope or availability.
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
Follow deposits rather than room labels
Include the quiet corners in the discussion.
The final removal of tools can leave a different trail from the installation itself. Check the exit route as part of the enquiry.
Give concrete examples of the detail you want included; this makes the discussion more useful than asking for everything to be spotless.
Tell Alesta about unfinished tasks instead of assuming the clean covers deposits created afterwards.
The dust route
Look beyond the centre of the renovated floor
A property inspection may reveal different priorities from those pictured here.
Ledges & surfaces
Include the exposed tops and lips you want considered in the surface list.
Frames & edges
Room edges often need a deliberate check after the larger surfaces look clear.
Fittings & fixtures
Radiator edges and accessible fittings should be part of the agreed room discussion.
Floors & adjoining rooms
The exit route may need attention even where no building work occurred.
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 | Method and reach follow the surface list. |
| Loose cleaning remnants | Unbonded residue in accessible cleaning areas | It can belong to cleaning, unlike construction waste. |
| Adhesive or labels | A label mark on an installed fitting | Installer information may be needed before treatment is agreed. |
| Paint, plaster or cement spots | Bonded spots beside completed work | No promise is made that every bonded mark will lift. |
| Protective film | A covered face on a new component | Identify the product and discuss appropriate handling first. |
Two separate jobs
Two enquiries may be needed after the build
Fine dust and reachable edges
The relevant task is cleaning reachable room features, not collecting the materials left beside them.
Building-waste questions
Timber offcuts and building materials are different from dust. Ask about a separate clearance scope.

Chiswick: choose the relevant project detail
Rooms released in an apartment
A flat’s room count does not show the detail around its fitted surfaces.
A refitted kitchen
Name the worktop material and coating before discussing fitting residue on cabinetry.
A renovated bathroom
Identify glass, fittings and tile residue individually in the bathroom request.
The whole-home room schedule
Use a room schedule to distinguish dust removal from specialist residue questions.
Rental rooms following renovation
Explain what was refurbished and who can approve the relevant room priorities.
A fit-out needing confirmation
Commercial suitability must be checked; describe premises and coordination needs before assuming availability.
A useful distinction
Check the handover between trades and cleaners
Builder stage
Close the dusty work
- Identify any dusty task still on the schedule.
- Arrange for materials to be cleared from accessible surfaces.
- Ask the installer when new finishes permit cleaning.
Cleaning stage
Release the room detail
- Agree the accessible surfaces before the visit is arranged.
- Separate fitting marks from ordinary surface dust.
- Keep unresolved surface issues distinct from cleaning tasks.
Protect the new finish
Let the surface guide the cleaning decision
Illustrative surface review.
A cleaning brief should name what lies beneath the residue.
Point out delicate details during the scope discussion. Preserving a new coating matters more than attempting an aggressive removal method.
Paint & sealants
Different products can reach cleaning readiness at different times.
Stone, timber & tiles
Name the actual material; a stone-effect surface is not necessarily stone.
Metal, glass & cabinetry
Glass and coated metal require their own residue assessment.
At a glance
The practical questions, answered briefly
- Is there a fixed property price?
- A final quotation needs the property details. Alesta publishes a starting hourly rate of £29, rather than one universal total.
- Which surfaces can form the brief?
- Only the areas agreed for cleaning are covered. Name surfaces, fittings and adjoining spaces that the renovation affected.
- What should happen before cleaners arrive?
- Discuss any returning trades. The best sequence avoids cleaning immediately before more dust-producing work.
- What happens with paint splashes?
- The underlying coating sets the limit. Any difficult deposit should be flagged before cleaning is agreed.
- What about materials still in the room?
- Rubble and bulky materials require a separate waste discussion. The finishing clean does not automatically clear a site.
- What should a kitchen handover brief say?
- A refitted kitchen can be included after discussing material readiness, accessible surfaces and the actual post-work deposits.
- What if the work was only repainting?
- Yes. Describe the dust and accessible detail, then confirm that paint is ready for cleaning under its instructions.
- Does a smaller flat always take less time?
- The relevant factors include material care, reachable surfaces and how far dust travelled beyond the work zone.
- How is glass after building work handled?
- Windows are an additional discussion, particularly where exterior access or hardened marks are involved.
- What must the contractor take away?
- Prepare entry and internal access so the specified details can be reached without moving building supplies.
Build your brief
Draft a scope note before calling
A few specifics make the scope easier to discuss.
Entering details here only organises your brief. Contact Alesta separately to discuss suitability and a quote.
The proposed clean still needs confirmation against the property, especially where difficult residue or separate collection is involved.

Separate frame dust from deposits on glazing
A window list needs height and face information, not simply the number of windows in the room.
Construction marks need a separate assessment of suitable treatment; a glazing clean is not an unlimited removal guarantee.

Questions about planning the Chiswick clean
Where should I start with this Chiswick cleaning brief?
A useful first account separates the completed installation from the deposits now visible. List the rooms being offered for cleaning and note any work that will happen later. Kitchen dust may reach the family seating space even when no fitting took place there.
How can I make the cleaning route clear?
Include the part of the journey between the entrance and the work area. Internal obstacles can matter even in an otherwise empty property. Identify a clear route on the ground floor before the visit.
Should I provide the installer’s care instructions?
The material needs to be identified before selecting a method. Share any installer instructions and distinguish bonded marks from loose dust; some treatments may be unsuitable or separately quoted. Include visible deposits beside retained furnishings without assuming their treatment is included.
How do I decide where the cleaning boundary ends?
Follow the evidence across thresholds and ledges. The additional room should be named in the enquiry so time and access can be considered. Here, inspect the ground-floor kitchen and living spaces.
Are cleaning materials included in the starting guide?
The published guide begins at £29/hour, with cleaning equipment and materials included. The figure is not a total for the property: condition, access and required detail still need review.
How should a staged renovation be planned?
A separate room can be complete while trades still use its doorway. Discuss the full route before deciding whether the sequence is workable.
What if bulky packaging is still present?
First distinguish surfaces requiring cleaning from items requiring removal. The latter need an independent waste enquiry.
Can I add a separate carpet requirement?
Yes, ask about carpet cleaning as a separate requirement. Identify the carpeted rooms and what affected them, so availability and suitable treatment can be discussed. The general renovation clean does not automatically include this additional work.
Can a handover date determine the cleaning duration?
The time depends on more than room count. Allow the discussion to cover fittings and access as well as any product-specific drying requirements. Decide which rooms need to return to ordinary household use first.
Can further treatment be needed after dust removal?
A mark can be an installation issue rather than removable residue. Cleaning should not be used to disguise that distinction.
