Why do we not dry sweep construction dust?
Because sweeping fine building dust throws it back into the air, where people breathe it and it settles on everything you just cleaned.
WorkSafe WA's guidance names dry sweeping and compressed air as poor ways to deal with construction dust. So we pick it up wet or with a vacuum, working from the ceiling down, and the room stays clean once it is done.
Much of that dust is crystalline silica, from concrete, brick, tile, grout and render. Silica dust extraction is part of our builders clean where the site needs it, quoted with the rest of the scope.
Site safety rules still apply to us like any other trade. We complete your site induction and follow your site rules and your principal contractor's management plan.
What is in scope, and what sits outside it?
The fourth card is the one most quotes leave vague until invoice day.
How does a site clean run?
Four steps, and the first one is a conversation with your site supervisor.
Contact us-
Step 01
Agree the stage and the scope
Which clean you mean, what trades are still coming back, and what is excluded, written down before anyone is booked.
-
Step 02
Site entry and induction
Your site induction completed and your site rules followed, at a time between 6am and 10pm that keeps us out of the trades' way.
-
Step 03
Top down, dust captured
Ceilings and high ledges first, floors last. Dust goes into a vacuum or comes up wet, because moving it around the room is the thing to avoid.
-
Step 04
Walk it with your supervisor
Photographed by room and signed off on site. Our cleaners don't leave until you're happy with the work.
Which stage of clean do you actually need?
No standard defines these stages, and the names are not used consistently.
Rough clean, builders clean, final clean and sparkle clean are trade vocabulary. Different companies use the same words for different jobs, which is how a builder ends up paying for one clean and receiving another.
So we do not sell you a stage name. We ask what trades are finished, what is still coming back, when your inspection is, and what the site has to look like on the day, then write that down and quote it. If your contract already names a stage, send us the wording and we will scope to that.
What ruins a brand new surface during the clean?
Four mistakes that can leave a permanent mark, and sometimes affect the manufacturer's warranty.
A blade on new glass
Glass makers warn against removing paint spots with razor blades or metal scrapers, because they scratch the surface. Spot cleaning with the right solvent is the safer route.
Brick acid near the windows
Window makers ask for frames and glass to be protected from mortar, brick cleaning acid and plaster, with spills washed off straight away. The acid wash and the window clean need to be sequenced, not run together.
Steam on a new timber floor
Steam can cloud or lift a timber floor finish, and a new finish takes time to harden. We damp mop new timber unless the manufacturer says otherwise.
The wrong cleaner on stainless
Brick acid, bleach and abrasives mark stainless steel. Near the coast, that is how tea staining starts on a brand new kitchen.
Does your contract actually require a final clean?
Worth checking, because the standard wording may not say what you assume.
Standard home building contracts usually define practical completion without mentioning cleaning at all. The obligation often sits in a special condition or a scope of works instead.
The same goes for waste. Site waste is normally the principal contractor's to manage. We take away what our own work generates, and skip bins and site waste stay yours unless we agree otherwise in writing.
Why do Perth builders book us?
Six reasons, one line each.
Dust captured, not relocated
Vacuum or wet pickup rather than dry sweeping.
Manufacturer care followed
No blades on glass, no acid near frames, no steam on new timber.
Scope written, not implied
Stage, inclusions and exclusions agreed up front, so the invoice holds no surprises.
$10 million public liability
Our public liability cover is $10 million. Ask for the certificate for your site file.
Photo sign-off on site
Room by room, dated, before the crew leaves. Useful at inspection time.
We stay until it is right
Our cleaners don't leave until you're happy with the work.
What do Perth site managers say about us?
How is a builders clean quoted in Perth?
No rate card. We quote after seeing the site or its plans, once the scope is set.
What moves the number
Floor area, how many wet areas, how much glass, whether trades are still working around you, and the condition the site is handed over in. A site left swept is quicker than one left loaded.
Crew and timing
A tight handover date can mean a bigger crew for a shorter time, all within our 6am to 10pm day.
What is quoted separately
External glass at height, pressure washing of hardstand, carpet cleaning, and a return visit after defect rectification. Each is its own line.
Send the address, the floor area, the stage you need and your inspection date. A written scope and price follow.
What else gets booked with a site clean?
Sequencing matters on the first three.
Window cleaning
Film off, frames and tracks done, after the acid wash rather than before it. Window cleaning
Tile and grout cleaning
Grout haze off new tile, with the method matched to the material. Tile and grout
Pressure washing
Driveways, paths and hardstand, with the WA water rules checked first. Pressure washing
Carpet cleaning
New carpet after the trades, or a recovery clean if it has copped site traffic. Carpet cleaning
Office and fit-out cleaning
Rolling into a scheduled contract once the tenant moves in. Office cleaning
Strata common areas
New apartment lobbies, lifts and car parks from the first handover on. Strata cleaning
Which parts of Perth do we cover?
New estates, infill, fit-outs and renovations across the Perth metro area, from Joondalup to Rockingham, and Mandurah. Site not listed? Send the address and you will hear back the same day.
Coastal and western
- Scarborough
- Cottesloe
- Fremantle
- City Beach
- North Beach
- Hillarys
- Sorrento
- Trigg
Coastal salt air and beach sand impact properties heavily here. Window tracks, exterior glass, and flyscreens need regular washing to stop salt corrosion.
Central and northern
- Perth CBD
- Northbridge
- Subiaco
- Leederville
- South Perth
- Joondalup
- Morley
- Midland
A mix of commercial high rises, character homes, and modern units. Jarrah floor care and delicate limestone work are common across these areas.
Southern corridor
- Wellard
- Rockingham
- Baldivis
- Cockburn
- Canning Vale
- Armadale
- Kwinana
- Mandurah
Large family properties and industrial facilities. Paved alfresco spaces and bore reticulation mean pressure washing is regularly booked alongside a house clean.
What do Perth builders ask before booking?
How much does a builders clean cost in Perth?
We quote on floor area, wet area count, glass and the condition the site is in, and put the scope in writing so two quotes can actually be compared.
Can you just sweep the site out?
We would rather not. Dry sweeping puts fine construction dust back in the air, so we pick it up wet or with a vacuum instead.
Do you extract silica dust?
Yes, as part of the builders clean. It is picked up wet or by vacuum rather than swept, and quoted with the rest of the scope once we know the site.
What happens if there is asbestos on site?
We stop and tell you. Asbestos removal needs a licensed removalist, and it is not something a cleaning contractor should touch.
Do you take the rubbish away?
We take what our own work generates. Site waste and skip bins stay with the builder unless we agree otherwise in writing.
When should the window film come off?
As soon as the messy trades are finished. Protective film left on for months can leave adhesive behind, so tell us if it has been on a while and we will plan for the harder version.
Why do new window frames need cleaning so often near the coast?
Salt air settles on powder-coated frames, and many window warranties ask for more frequent washing on coastal sites. It is worth flagging to your buyers at handover.
Can you work around the other trades?
Yes. Tell us who is still coming back and we sequence the clean around them, between 6am and 10pm, with a return visit quoted separately if needed.
We stay until it's right
Our cleaners don't leave until you're happy with the work. For end of lease cleans, if you're not satisfied and tell us within 72 hours, we come back and re-clean.
