At a glance
A quick guide to the final clean
- Where does the price discussion start?
- Use £29 per hour as the published starting guide only; the condition and proposed cleaning time still need agreement.
- Does the scope depend on accessibility?
- Cleaning detail is agreed around the affected rooms; the presence of a kitchen or bathroom does not imply an unlimited checklist.
- Can cleaning follow straight after painting?
- Confirm both clear access and surface readiness before the visit; construction completion alone is not enough information.
- Are all construction spots removable?
- Explain construction spotting separately; safe handling depends on the surface and cannot be promised from a general description.
- What about materials still in the room?
- No. Describe timber, boards and packaging separately so collection can be considered independently.
- Can the clean follow kitchen fitting?
- Identify what needs cleaning around the new installation; additional interior, specialist or window requirements need explicit agreement.
- What if the work was only repainting?
- Decoration can leave a finishing task of its own. Explain the affected detail and make sure the coating permits cleaning.
- How much time should be allowed?
- Alesta discusses the required work before confirming timing rather than promising a standard slot for every property.
- What should I say about window work?
- Discuss internal and external requirements distinctly. Building marks require assessment before any treatment promise.
- What preparation helps the finishing clean?
- Make room edges reachable by clearing tools and loose materials before the cleaning visit.
Different project briefs
Notting Hill: choose the relevant project detail
A refitted kitchen
Check the connection to the adjoining room when describing kitchen dust.
A renovated bathroom
Identify glass, fittings and tile residue individually in the bathroom request.
The whole-home room schedule
Group the agreed rooms by readiness, not only by floor level.
Letting after refurbishment
Keep agent requirements separate from the renovation-cleaning scope for review.
A fit-out needing confirmation
Ask whether the particular fit-out can be accommodated rather than assuming a contractor agreement.
Beyond the work zone
A protected room still deserves a check
Include the quiet corners in the discussion.
Compare low edges with accessible ledges; a quick glance across the floor may not show the full distribution of settled dust.
The surface list should make clear what can be reached. Appropriate cleaning methods follow those conditions, not a blanket treatment.
A room released for cleaning should not also be scheduled for another dusty installation.
A scoped quote
Agree the scope before treating a rate as a total
From £29/ hour
Confirm the rate applicable to the enquiry; cleaning equipment and materials form part of the service.
Explain the room sizes, access and finishes before expecting a total. Specialist issues and building materials need their own scope.
| Project | Pricing basis | What to describe |
|---|---|---|
| Smaller refurbishment | From £29/hour; scope confirmed | Decorated areas and remaining deposits |
| Kitchen or bathroom work | From £29/hour; scope confirmed | Separate glass or residue requirements |
| Whole-property renovation | Individual quotation for the renovation | Dust spread and obstructions |
| Commercial refurbishment enquiry | Quotation after requirements are confirmed | Coordination needs requiring confirmation |
Based on Alesta’s published after builders cleaning rate. Building waste removal is quoted separately.
Glass after renovation
Separate frame dust from deposits on glazing
Describe frames separately where they carry dust while the glass has bonded construction marks.
The deposit and glass finish both matter. Some construction marks may need separately assessed treatment.

Notting Hill / the specific room brief
A joinery-led finishing brief
Shelf edges, cabinet fronts and the floors below deserve attention after fitted joinery work.
This Notting Hill planning example centres on interior work with new joinery. Shelf edges, cabinet fronts and the floors below deserve attention after fitted joinery work. The useful inspection route follows the rooms connected by the internal stairs, with attention to bespoke cabinet surfaces and shelf edges.
Ask for the joiner’s coating guidance before attempting stubborn fitting marks. Keep any care notes for bespoke cabinet finishes available when discussing the visible marks.
Describe the stairs between rooms, not just the floor number. Review accessible external joinery before shelves are filled.
The dust route
Follow surfaces, edges, fittings and routes
Use the illustration to organise questions, not as an inclusive service checklist.
Ledges & surfaces
Look along flat ledges, not only at surfaces directly beneath the building work.
Frames & edges
A fitted room has edges behind and beside units that need an access check.
Fittings & fixtures
Include external detail on agreed fixtures without assuming specialist treatment.
Floors & adjoining rooms
Track deposits into connecting spaces and ask for those areas to be priced explicitly.
Different issues / different scope
Describe what remains, not just how it looks
| Post-build issue | Example | How it is approached |
|---|---|---|
| Fine dust | Loose surface dust beside fitted units | Method and reach follow the surface list. |
| Loose cleaning remnants | Ordinary dust rather than bulky materials | Discuss the extent alongside the other surface work. |
| Adhesive or labels | An unidentified mark beneath a label | Identify both coating and deposit; treatment needs confirmation. |
| Paint, plaster or cement spots | Visible spotting after wet trades | Assess first; complete removal may damage the finish. |
| Protective film | A covered face on a new component | Identify the product and discuss appropriate handling first. |
Two separate jobs
Keep waste collection outside the dust brief
Agreed surface-cleaning detail
Focus the cleaning request on fittings, edges and floors that are available for the visit.
Materials requiring collection
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
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.
- Review drying advice for each newly coated material.
Cleaning stage
Confirm the reachable areas
- Set out which rooms and connections belong in the clean.
- Flag existing damage so it is not mistaken for dirt.
- Discuss the completed cleaning against the original brief.
Room-by-room brief
What each affected space needs you to explain
Kitchen
Tell Alesta which external kitchen surfaces are affected and where additional residue needs assessment; avoid an undefined appliance checklist.
Bathroom
Explain where deposits remain on sanitaryware and tiles, keeping difficult marks and fresh seals clearly identified.
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
Read care instructions before the first wipe
Illustrative surface review.
Manufacturer guidance matters more than a finish looking dry.
An unknown coating calls for a question before a cleaning method. Explain the visible issue and avoid promising yourself that every mark can disappear.
Paint & sealants
Follow the product-specific drying instructions before arranging contact cleaning.
Stone, timber & tiles
Describe the coating as well as the material wherever possible.
Metal, glass & cabinetry
Explain which faces of the fitted units are accessible for the agreed clean.
Before the next property stage
A practical sequence for the released rooms
Work completed
Record the surfaces affected by the completed works.
Detailed clean
Address the identified deposits within the agreed work.
Final review
Keep specialist residue questions separate.
Plan the room’s next stage
Arrange the next stage around the reviewed areas.
Pictures represent planning stages and should not be read as customer evidence.
Build your brief
Draft a scope note before calling
Use the questions to collect the essentials.
Use the summary as a note for a conversation; nothing is submitted and no appointment or quotation is created.
A room count cannot decide suitability. Discuss the real surface condition and any extra tasks after preparing the note.
Discuss the brief: 020 3608 3976Who is planning the handover?
Who can release the rooms for cleaning?
Homeowners
Bring your material notes and next-use priorities to the enquiry, especially where new finishes need care.
Landlords & property managers
Pass on access instructions and the renovation brief, with any additional property-management requirements clearly labelled.
Builders & contractors
Commercial or contractor requirements should be confirmed directly, rather than inferred from residential examples.
Service-area planning

Questions about planning the Notting Hill clean
Where should I start with this Notting Hill cleaning brief?
Start with what is still present: loose dust, fitting marks or materials awaiting collection. These are different questions and should not be combined into an assumed package. Shelf edges, cabinet fronts and the floors below deserve attention after fitted joinery work.
What access note should accompany my enquiry?
Explain how the team will reach the work area and who can admit them. Any building restrictions should be discussed before fixing the visit rather than discovered on arrival. Describe the stairs between rooms, not just the floor number.
Should I provide the installer’s care instructions?
Loose deposits may be straightforward to discuss, while a bonded mark can need another assessment. Neither should be treated without knowing the finish. Ask for the joiner’s coating guidance before attempting stubborn fitting marks.
How do I decide where the cleaning boundary ends?
Rooms outside the work zone can be discussed if deposits reached them. They are not automatically included, so name the affected surfaces and ask for the additional area to be scoped. Here, inspect the rooms connected by the internal stairs.
Are cleaning materials included in the starting guide?
Alesta advertises a starting hourly rate of £29 and includes materials and equipment. Confirm the current rate and the actual work before treating the guide as a quote.
Can another trade visit follow the clean?
A separate room can be complete while trades still use its doorway. Discuss the full route before deciding whether the sequence is workable.
Does cleaning include leftover materials?
The hourly cleaning guide does not absorb waste collection. Identify what needs taking away and arrange the relevant scope before it blocks surface access.
How should extra glass or carpet work be requested?
Do not fold extra services into a vague whole-property instruction. Keep carpet and glazing needs visible in the scope discussion.
Does the starting rate imply a fixed-length visit?
There is no standard duration for every property. Give the intended next use and the actual condition; drying instructions for finishes remain separate from the cleaning timetable. Review accessible external joinery before shelves are filled.
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.
Your project / the final clean
Discuss the rooms connected by the internal stairs
Tell Alesta where the project stands and which surfaces need attention. Timing and price follow an agreed brief.
