Post construction cleaning in Nairobi: cleaners removing dust from windows and floors in a new apartment

The last day of a building project is rarely clean. Fine cement dust coats every surface, paint splashes dot the windows, grout haze dulls new tiles and stickers cling to glass and fittings. Builders usually sweep up, but that is not the same as cleaning. Before anyone moves in, takes photos or hands over keys, the property needs a proper post-construction clean.

This page explains what post-construction cleaning involves, how we stage it, what it costs and how to book it at the right time in your project.

Cleaning

What our post construction cleaning in Nairobi covers

  • Dust removal. Fine cement and plaster dust vacuumed and damp-wiped from walls, ceilings, sills, cupboards and fittings.

  • Doors and fittings. Doors, handles, switches, sockets and light fittings cleaned.
  • Debris. Small offcuts, packaging and builders’ rubbish bagged for removal.

Cleaning

The three stages of construction cleaning

  1. Rough clean. First, after the main building work, we remove large debris and heavy dust so finishing trades can work.
  2. Final clean. Next, when trades have finished, we clean every surface, remove stickers and films and scrub floors.
  3. Touch-up clean. Finally, just before handover or move-in, we remove dust that has settled again and polish glass and fittings.

Small renovations may only need the final and touch-up stages. Larger projects benefit from all three.

Why builders’ dust is hard to clean

Cement and plaster dust is extremely fine. Dry dusting simply moves it into the air, where it settles again an hour later. Wet cloths turn it into a paste that smears. Therefore our team first vacuums with fine filters, then damp-wipes with clean water and a mild cleaner, changing cloths and water often. As a result, surfaces stay clean rather than streaky.

Removing paint, grout haze and stickers

New tiles often have a dull grey film from grout. We remove it with a suitable haze remover, matched to the tile type. Paint drops on glass come off with a scraper held at the right angle, which avoids scratches. Stickers and protective films leave glue, which we remove with a gentle adhesive remover. However, we test each product on a small area first, especially on natural stone, wood and coated glass.

Post construction cleaning in Nairobi for developers

Developers selling or letting new apartments need units that look perfect for viewings and photos. Our post construction cleaning in Nairobi can cover a whole block, floor by floor, with a team sized to your deadline. We can also clean show flats, common areas, lifts, stairwells and parking. Moreover, we can return for touch-up cleans before each handover, so buyers receive spotless units.

Renovations in occupied homes

When you renovate a kitchen or bathroom while living at home, dust spreads into every room. In that case, we clean the renovated room thoroughly and then the rest of the home, including wardrobes, curtains and sofas where dust settles. In addition, we can clean air vents and ceiling fans, which often blow dust around for weeks after the builders leave.

Common problems

Safety on construction sites

Post-construction sites can still have hazards: loose cables, sharp edges, wet paint and unfinished stairs. Therefore our teams wear safety shoes, gloves and dust masks, and they agree a safe working area with the site manager before they start. They also follow any site safety rules. For general workplace safety, see the Ministry of Labour. Construction debris must be disposed of legally, and the National Environment Management Authority regulates waste in Kenya.

Cleaning

How to prepare for a post-construction clean

  • Make sure all trades have finished in the areas to be cleaned.
  • Ensure water and electricity are connected.
  • Remove large rubbish, offcuts and leftover materials, or ask us to arrange removal.
  • Tell us about delicate finishes, such as natural stone, wood or special coatings.
  • Agree access times and parking for our van with the site manager.

Cleaning before photos and viewings

Developers and agents often photograph new units for listings as soon as they are finished. Dust, stickers and smudged glass show up clearly in photos, and buyers notice. Therefore we time the touch-up clean for the day before the photographer arrives. On the day, our team can return for a quick dust and glass polish, switch on lights and open curtains, so every room looks bright. Similarly, before open days, we clean the show flat and common areas in the morning, so the first visitors see the property at its best.

Office fit-outs

New offices often move in the week the fit-out ends. As a result, there is little time between the last contractor and the first staff member. Our team can work over a weekend to clean desks, partitions, glass, carpets and kitchens, so the office is ready on Monday. After that, our regular office cleaning can take over.

Floors after construction

New floors need care. Fresh grout should cure before heavy scrubbing, and some sealed floors need a specific cleaner. Therefore we ask the contractor about curing times and floor treatments. For tiles and terrazzo, we use scrubber machines with soft pads. For wooden floors, we vacuum and damp-mop only. Getting this right protects the investment in new flooring. If a floor needs a protective sealer after cleaning, we will tell you, so your flooring contractor can apply it before the furniture arrives.

Windows and frames

Window tracks fill with cement, sand and plaster during construction, which stops sliding windows working smoothly. So we vacuum the tracks, scrub them and wipe the frames. Then we clean the glass inside and outside where safe to reach. For high windows on apartment blocks, see our window cleaning service.

Why choose our post construction cleaning in Nairobi

A new home or office should feel new, not dusty. Our teams bring the right vacuums, scrapers, haze removers and machines, and they know how to clean new finishes without damaging them. Consequently, developers, contractors and homeowners rely on our post construction cleaning in Nairobi to get properties ready on time.

Working with your contractor

The best results come when cleaning is planned with the building schedule. Ideally, the contractor tells us the expected finish date two weeks ahead. Then we book the team, agree the access hours and confirm which trades will still be on site. On the day, our supervisor walks the property with the site manager and notes any snags, such as paint splashes that need a painter rather than a cleaner. Afterwards, we share a short report with photos, so the contractor can close out the snag list before handover. This simple coordination avoids the common problem of a clean property being dusted again by a late trade.

Finishing a project soon? Send the floor area and finish date, and we will plan the clean around your handover.
