Homeowners
Keep the door installer’s outstanding adjustments beside your cleaning list. A frame can need dust removal while the leaf still needs a fitting correction, and the two should not be signed off as one task.

Putney After Builders Cleaning
New doors, clear thresholds
A clear brief for moving between finished rooms.
New internal doors bring a different finishing brief from a whole-flat strip-out. For a Putney renovation, include the frames, adjacent flooring and carrying route, while keeping paint readiness and fitting defects separate from cleaning.
- Name the doorways and floor corners.
- Share care information for painted door leaves.
- Explain entry through common parts.
- Check the latest finish is ready before contact cleaning.

Make the responsible contact clear
Keep access and decisions connected
Landlords & property managers
A managing contact should identify remaining trade work before arranging handover. Cleaning does not certify the construction project.
Builders & contractors
Describe the proposed handover stage without treating this page as a contract offer. Availability and coordination must be checked.
At your Putney property
New doors, clear thresholds
An opening has two sides; describe dust in the spaces it connects.
Explain the route through the building’s common parts and who can admit the team. Shared entrances are access information, not permission to add communal cleaning to your flat’s scope.
Ask whether any trimming or drilling remains before setting a date. Returning to adjust a door can create new debris at an opening that was already cleaned.
Walk through the agreed doorways at the end and distinguish residual surface marks from the operation of the doors. The latter is not a cleaning sign-off.
Name rooms, not an unlimited checklist
Give each affected space its own description
Kitchen
Explain the kitchen surfaces affected by fitting: external cabinetry, reachable fixtures and flooring. Worktop material and any extra appliance detail should be specified.
Bathroom
Flag the surfaces most recently installed in the bathroom. A visible spot is not proof that a safe routine removal method exists.
Bedrooms
List reachable ledges and floor margins in affected bedrooms, with any specialist surface questions kept explicit.
Living areas
In the living area, identify dust at the new doorway and any exposed ledges beyond it. Furniture may limit the route or the reachable perimeter. The room brief should describe those actual surfaces without silently adding upholstery care, heavy-item relocation or unrelated household tasks.
Quoting the Putney work
The hourly guide needs a defined scope
From £29/ hour
Check the current rate for the work described. Equipment and cleaning materials are part of the published service information.
The final figure needs the actual property condition. Do not read the starting rate as an all-inclusive project price.
| Room brief | Rate guide | Detail needed |
|---|---|---|
| A smaller project | Hourly starting rate: £29 | Condition of the doorways and floor corners |
| Kitchen or bathroom installation | Hourly guide from £29 | Readiness of painted door leaves |
| A broader interior project | Price depends on the specified tasks | Room access before moving between finished rooms |
| Commercial suitability check | Availability and scope to agree | Release arrangements and access |
Based on Alesta’s published after builders cleaning rate. Disposal is not part of this hourly guide.
A sequence, not a completion guarantee
Make the finishing sequence explicit
Release the work area
Confirm remaining trade attendance before fixing the sequence.
Clean the agreed detail
Address the named deposits and suitable floor areas.
Discuss what remains
Discuss the remaining residue rather than promise universal removal.
Plan the next activity
Separate the next property task from the completed clean.
No measured result is represented by the stage images.
Describe the Putney work
Begin with the work that has finished
The options cannot establish every surface or deposit involved. Treat them as guidance for a more specific enquiry.
Full renovation
For a complete refurbishment, identify the priorities within each room rather than expecting a single identical checklist everywhere.
Inspect the affected route
Where to look beyond the doorways and floor corners
Check what remained exposed during the works.
Door fitting can leave evidence on both sides of an opening. Inspect the nearby skirting and floor corners rather than treating the freshly installed leaf as the only affected surface.
The enquiry should follow the dust that is visible, not merely the contractor’s work-room label. Agree any adjoining areas explicitly.
Do not confuse a planned completion date with actual readiness.
Draw the cleaning boundary
Four ways to describe the affected space
The actual room condition determines the brief. The drawing cannot confirm access or surface suitability.
Accessible ledges
Check accessible tops and lips beside fitted items, including surfaces not obvious from the doorway.
Room boundaries
Explain which room edges can be reached without relocating furniture or building supplies.
Installed items
Explain the visible deposits on fittings while keeping installation defects separate.
Connecting routes
The carrying route may cross materials with different care requirements; describe each transition.
Identify before treating
Separate ordinary residue from specialist questions
| Issue described | What to identify | Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| Light particulate deposits | doorways and floor corners | Describe coverage through the affected room. |
| Minor loose residue | Light material beside fittings | Confirm inclusion among the surface tasks. |
| Possible sticky residue | Labels or marks beside painted door leaves | Describe the fitting before asking for adhesive removal. |
| Plaster and paint spots | Isolated spots near the doorways and floor corners | Safe removal cannot be assumed from appearance. |
| Unremoved covering film | Covering on a new surface | Identify the item and confirm the scope separately. |
Keep clearance outside the dust brief
Keep building material outside the dust scope
Surface cleaning
A finishing visit addresses the named room detail rather than taking over the contractor’s removal list.
Materials awaiting removal
A waste enquiry should explain volume, weight and collection access. The cleaning quotation cannot substitute for those details.
Ask about separate building waste collection ↗Different work leaves different detail
Different projects call for different questions
Rooms within a shared building
For a flat between occupants, identify a contact who knows the condition inside. Key collection alone may not answer questions about recently installed surfaces.
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.
The bathroom finishing brief
A bathroom brief can include the agreed tiles, sanitaryware and suitable flooring. Flag new seals before the method or date is settled.
The multi-room project
Identify different floor products across the property. A common completion date does not make the same cleaning method suitable everywhere.
Before property handover
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 first
Discuss the actual commercial task directly with Alesta. Contractor coordination is not assumed simply because the project is called a refurbishment.
Check the conditions for arrival
Confirm the room can receive the visit
Before the clean
Release the affected spaces
- Confirm the room is no longer scheduled for dusty work.
- Keep spare fittings outside the agreed working area.
- Keep care instructions beside the room details.
For the appointment
Confirm what can be reached
- Explain entry through common parts.
- Flag resistant deposits before choosing a cleaning method.
- Discuss any unresolved residue before the next stage.
A finish is not just a colour
Check painted door leaves before treatment
Illustrated material assessment.
The deposit cannot be assessed without the finish.
A painted door needs its finish identified before marks are tackled. Chips, rubbing edges and alignment problems belong with the installer; a cleaning request should describe deposits rather than assume they are removable dirt.
Recently applied finishes
Ask when contact cleaning is permitted, not just when paint feels dry.
Identify each material
Describe the real material rather than its colour or effect.
Coated and fitted detail
Separate protection film from ordinary settled dust.
Brief answers, clear limits
A concise guide to scope and readiness
- What is the Putney starting rate?
- Use £29 per hour as the starting guide, with scope and current rate checked before booking.
- What surfaces should I describe?
- Scope follows surface condition and access, including the room edges identified in the enquiry.
- What comes before cleaning?
- The room must be released and reachable; a completion date alone is not enough.
- Will every spot disappear?
- No. A safe method depends on the deposit and the material beneath it.
- Can rubble be left behind?
- No automatic rubble collection is included; request separate disposal arrangements.
- What about new kitchen fittings?
- Name the installed finishes and visible deposits when asking about kitchen detail.
- Does new paint affect the date?
- Decorating can be discussed once the coatings permit cleaning; flag any resistant paint spots.
- What determines the time?
- No fixed duration applies; the material, condition and reachability determine the workload.
- Are window extras automatic?
- Additional window cleaning may be considered with access and residue assessed.
- Can tools remain in place?
- Remove obstructions before expecting the full agreed area to be accessible.
Prepare a conversation, not a booking
Describe the project with these planning choices
Collect the project basics before contacting Alesta.
Describe door-fitting effects through the room choices, then explain the actual openings when contacting Alesta. The controls cannot inspect painted leaves and do not submit a booking or calculate a quotation.
Door numbers do not describe the accessible detail. Explain both sides of affected openings and any remaining fitting adjustments.
Talk through the room list: 020 3608 3976Glazing is an explicit request
Ask about the actual window faces wanted
Where the door project includes glazing, explain whether you mean an inset panel or a separate window. New frame paint and any glass coating should be identified before the additional work is agreed.
A resistant spot can require a different decision from routine glass cleaning. Protecting the pane and coating limits what may be attempted.
Ask about the window scope ↗Address and access
Discuss availability at the Putney address
This is an enquiry page for Putney. Confirm the property address and practical access directly; the map is not a business-location claim.
If the address differs, contact the main service team before assuming attendance.

Questions for this project
Planning the Putney finishing visit
How can I make the scope clearer?
Explain the deposit and its location around doorways and floor corners, including anything you cannot identify. That separates ordinary dust from a question needing assessment.
What does the team need to know about entry?
Explain who can open the agreed areas and where equipment must pass. Access to doorways and floor corners should not depend on moving unmentioned materials.
How should surface uncertainty be described?
Describe the actual coating or material behind the visible residue. With painted door leaves, safe treatment must be established rather than promised.
What if dust reached a protected area?
Explain where dust appears outside the original work area. Alesta can discuss that extension without turning doorways and floor corners into an unlimited whole-home brief.
When is the actual cost confirmed?
Alesta’s service starts from £29/hour and includes cleaning equipment and materials. For door-related work, explain the affected openings and nearby surfaces before accepting a quotation. The hourly guide is not a price per door and does not include fitting corrections or an assumed whole-flat clean.
Should all dusty work end first?
Explain any returning trades before arranging the appointment. New deposits after the visit are not automatically covered by the earlier scope.
How should construction materials be described?
The contractor’s remaining materials need a different agreement from dust removal. Explain what is left before the visit is planned.
Should carpet requirements be stated in advance?
Ask about the actual glass faces or carpet areas wanted. Confirmation of the extra work is needed before relying on it.
How should the intended handover be explained?
The proposed return or delivery date is useful context, not a guarantee. Alesta needs to consider the real scope and any drying restrictions.
What if a resistant deposit remains?
Some deposits cannot be treated safely without risking painted door leaves. Record the issue separately instead of assuming a stronger product must solve it.
