Professional Post-Construction Cleaning Services in Glasgow & Edinburgh
Consistent, trusted, and meticulous builder-dust removal tailored to your Scottish property. Our post-construction protocol uses commercial HEPA H-class vacuums (99.995% efficient at 0.3 microns), tack-cloth wiping, and a top-down, room-by-room methodology. New builds, extensions, renovations & refits — handed over ready to furnish. From £295 with a 7-day re-clean guarantee.
The Maundy Clean Standard for Post-Construction Cleaning
After builders, tradespeople, or a renovation project, your home is often left coated in fine plaster dust, silica particles, and paint overspray that ordinary vacuuming simply spreads around. At Maundy Clean, our post-construction cleaning service goes far beyond a quick “hoover and mop” — we use HEPA H-class filtration (the same standard used in asbestos removal), tack-cloth particulate capture, and a strict top-down, room-sealed protocol to lift every trace of construction debris from your home. In a world where everyone is living busy lives, the thought of removing fine plaster and silica dust from every drawer, duct, and light fitting in your limited spare time can be overwhelming. Our vetted 2-person HEPA-trained team transforms the necessity of post-build cleanup into a seamless, premium experience — built on the Maundy tradition of care, meticulous service, and a higher standard of hygiene for the Scottish home.
More than just a tidy-up.
A genuine baseline reset for your home, delivered by people who actually know it.
Post-construction cleaning is the most under-estimated stage of any build. Builders typically hand over a property that has been 'builder-cleaned' — a quick sweep, a once-over with a mop, and the assumption that the homeowner will finish the job. The result is a property that looks clean but isn't. Plaster dust coats the inside of kitchen cabinets. Cement residue clings to window frames. Paint spots freckle hardwood floors. Adhesive residue ghosts the bath edge. Silicone overspray hazes the shower glass. Move into a property in this state and you'll be finding construction dust for the next two years — every time you open a drawer, every time the heating kicks on, every time a window lets in a draft.
Our post-construction protocol is fundamentally different from regular domestic cleaning. We work top-down, room-by-room, with a HEPA H-class commercial vacuum (99.995% efficient at 0.3 microns — the same standard used for asbestos removal). The methodology is critical: vacuum first (remove dry dust), then tack-cloth wipe (capture fine particulate), then wet-wipe with a degreaser (remove adhesive, paint, and silicone residue), then dry-buff (prevent water marks). Each room is sealed with polythene sheeting during cleaning to prevent cross-contamination. Ducts, vents, and extract fans are vacuumed with a soft-brush attachment. Light fittings, switches, and sockets are detailed with a dry microfibre — never wet.
We work with homeowners, builders, property developers, and architects. For new-build handovers, we typically come in 5-7 days after the final fixings — once the dust has settled but before furniture arrives. For extensions and renovations, we clean the affected rooms plus a 5-metre buffer zone to capture dust tracked into adjacent areas. For full refits, we follow the same protocol as new builds. We do not handle hazardous waste (asbestos, lead paint, treated timber offcuts) — that requires a licensed contractor. We do handle the rest, including paint removal from glass, adhesive residue from floors, and the deep dust that hides in every cavity.
PVG-checked team, £5m public liability, and a 7-day re-clean guarantee on every post-construction clean we complete.
Why Homeowners Across Scotland Trust Maundy Clean After Building Work
Maundy Clean is a local, premium cleaning specialist focused on building high-trust relationships with our clients across the Central Belt. Every post-construction job is delivered by a vetted, uniformed, PAYE-employed crew — not subcontracted out — and is built on “local, personal, and affordable” care, alongside a technical protocol that genuinely captures construction dust rather than redistributing it around your home.
Fully Vetted & Uniformed Technicians
We are a professional company that employs our own staff; we are not an agency. Every post-construction cleaner is fully trained in our HEPA H-class protocol, Disclosure Scotland PVG-checked, £5m public-liability insured, and carries official Maundy Clean identification for your total peace of mind. They arrive in uniform, on time, with a team leader who runs the handover inspection with you.
HEPA H-Class Vacuums — The Asbestos Standard
Unlike standard vacuums that blow fine construction dust back through the exhaust, our commercial HEPA H-class vacuums capture 99.995% of particles down to 0.3 microns — the same standard used for asbestos removal. Plaster dust, cement dust, timber dust, and silica dust are all captured, not redistributed. The difference is immediately visible when sunlight hits the room.
Eco-Friendly & Family Safe
Your family's health is paramount. We supply all our own professional-grade equipment and use only certified child-safe and pet-safe products where wet-cleaning is required — plant-based degreasers, food-safe sanitisers, and pH-neutral stone cleaners. Tack-cloth particulate capture replaces wet-wiping wherever possible, preventing the dust-to-paste conversion that smears construction dust across surfaces.
The MaundyClean 3-Step “Hassle-Free” Process
We have made our booking experience straightforward and helpful, with a 30-second instant quote tool and a same-day callback promise. From quote to handover in under a week.
Instant 30-Second Quote
Use our online price calculator to receive a simple, fixed-price quote based on your property size and construction type — new build, extension, renovation, or refit. From £295 for a single room, £595 for a typical 3-bed property. No pushy sales call, no waiting 24 hours for a callback. The price you see is the price you pay.
Professional Site Preparation
We match you with a local 2-person HEPA-trained team who fits your schedule. On arrival, each room is sealed with polythene sheeting over the doorway (taped top and sides, weighted bottom) to prevent dust migrating to cleaned rooms. Furniture and fittings in adjacent rooms covered with dust sheets. We operate a secure key-safe system if you can't be on site.
Enjoy a Spotless Sanctuary
Walk into a space that looks, smells, and feels genuinely clean — not just ‘builder-cleaned’. We hand over with a room-by-room inspection walk-through together: any missed areas re-cleaned on the spot. Backed by our 7-day re-clean guarantee — if you find anything within 7 days, we return free of charge.
From quote to first clean in 48 hours.
No pushy sales calls. No multi-week onboarding. Just a clear, four-step path to a cleaner home.
Site survey & quote
On-site survey to assess scope: square footage, room count, construction type (new build, extension, refit), and any hazardous materials requiring a licensed contractor. Fixed-price quote within 48 hours. Honest advice on expected results — heavy paint spills on hardwood may require sanding beyond our scope.
Site preparation & room sealing
We seal each room with polythene sheeting over the doorway (taped top and sides, weighted bottom) before cleaning. This prevents dust from migrating to cleaned rooms. Furniture and fittings in adjacent rooms covered with dust sheets. Ducts and vents sealed until the final HEPA vacuum pass.
Top-down HEPA vacuum & tack-cloth wipe
Top-down methodology: ceiling, light fittings, walls, windows, frames, sills, doors, skirtings, then floors. HEPA vacuum first, tack-cloth wipe second. Paint, adhesive, and silicone residue removed with correct chemistry. Kitchen and bathroom cabinets detailed inside and out.
Floor restoration & handover inspection
Floors vacuumed, wet-mopped (if appropriate for material), and dry-buffed. Duct covers and vent plates refitted. Final room-by-room inspection with the client — we walk through together, identifying any missed areas. Missed areas re-cleaned on the spot. Satisfaction guaranteed before we leave site.

HEPA H-class vacuum — top-down, room-by-room
Commercial HEPA H-class vacuum (99.995% efficient at 0.3 microns). Top-down methodology: ceilings, light fittings, walls, windows, frames, sills, doors, skirtings, then floors. Each room sealed with polythene sheeting during cleaning to prevent cross-contamination. Ducts, vents, and extract fans vacuumed with a soft-brush attachment.
Tack-cloth wipe down — fine particulate capture
After vacuuming, all non-porous surfaces wiped with a tack-cloth (a resin-impregnated cloth that captures fine dust without water). Critical for kitchen cabinets, wardrobes, and shelving — where ordinary wet-wiping turns dust to paste. Tack-cloth captures the dust rather than spreading it.
Paint, adhesive & silicone residue removal
Paint spots removed from glass with a razor scraper at 30° angle (won't scratch glass). Adhesive residue removed from floors with the correct solvent (different chemistry for vinyl, hardwood, tile, and stone — wrong solvent damages the finish). Silicone overspray hazed from shower glass with a specialist silicone remover.
Kitchen & bathroom deep detail
Inside every cabinet and drawer vacuumed and tack-wiped. Sink, taps, and waste detail-cleaned (limescale removed, chrome polished). Toilet descaled and sanitised. Bath and shower glass polished streak-free. Mirror edges detailed — adhesive and silicone residue common here. Tiles and grout wiped down.
Window, frame & sill detail
Windows cleaned inside and out with a squeegee and pure-water system (no chemical haze). Frames detailed — paint spots, plaster, and adhesive removed from every corner. Sills vacuumed and wet-wiped. Tracks (the channel the window slides in) vacuumed with a crevice tool and brushed out — a magnet for construction dust.
Floor restoration & final buff
Hardwood floors: vacuumed, tack-wiped, then buffed with a dry microfibre pad to remove fine dust and reveal the finish. Tile and stone: vacuumed, wet-mopped with a pH-neutral cleaner, then dry-buffed. Carpet (if newly laid): HEPA vacuumed in two directions to lift trapped dust. Vinyl and LVT: vacuumed, wet-mopped, dry-buffed.
Add-ons available on any visit: oven cleaning, fridge clean-out, inside cabinets, laundry folding, ironing, pet area sanitisation, window interiors, and more — all bookable from your client portal.

Semantic Interlinking: Specialist Solutions for Every Stage
While our post-construction cleaning hands your property over genuinely clean, Maundy Clean offers specialized “reset” services for major property milestones. The same trusted, PVG-checked team can step up when life changes — from a deep clean before moving in to a seasonal refresh months later.
The standards that earned 6,200 five-star reviews.
Six commitments we make to every recurring client — written into your service agreement, not just our marketing.
HEPA H-class — captures 99.995% of construction dust
Standard vacuums blow construction dust back through the exhaust — you can see it in the sunlight. Our H-class HEPA vacuums capture 99.995% of particles down to 0.3 microns (the same standard used for asbestos removal). Plaster dust, cement dust, timber dust, and silica dust are all captured, not redistributed.
Top-down methodology — dust doesn't return
Bottom-up cleaning means dust from the ceiling re-settles on the floor you just cleaned. Top-down cleaning — ceiling, walls, surfaces, then floors — ensures dust is captured in the right order. Each room sealed during cleaning to prevent cross-contamination. The result lasts, rather than reappearing next week.
Tack-cloth wipe — no dust-to-paste conversion
Wet-wiping dry construction dust turns it to paste — smears across the surface, sets in the grain, and becomes harder to remove. Tack-cloth (resin-impregnated) captures the dry dust first, then wet-wiping removes the residual soiling. Critical for kitchen cabinets, wardrobes, and shelving.
Single-day service for most properties
A typical 3-bed house takes one day with a 2-person team. A 4-5 bed house takes 1-2 days. New-build handovers (4-bed detached, ~150m²) take 1.5 days. We work weekends by arrangement. Handover inspection on the same day — we don't leave site until you've walked through every room with us.
Works with builders, developers & homeowners
We work direct with homeowners, but also sub-contract to builders, property developers, and architects. For developers we provide a fixed per-property rate across a development, with priority booking and consistent quality. For architects we provide snagging-list cleaning as part of the handover package.
Handover inspection & satisfaction guarantee
Before we leave site, we walk through every room with you. Any missed areas re-cleaned on the spot — no return visit, no argument. We provide a written handover checklist (signed by both parties) confirming each room has been inspected. If you find anything within 7 days, we return free of charge.
Loved by Scottish households.
“Two-storey extension handed over 'builder-clean' — looked okay but every drawer was full of dust. Maundy Clean came in 5 days later, HEPA-vacuumed everything, tack-wiped the cabinets, removed paint from the new windows. Two days later we moved in. Six months on, no dust issues at all. Right call.”
“We use Maundy Clean on every unit we hand over. Fixed per-property rate, written standard, 7-day re-clean guarantee. The HEPA vacuum is what sets them apart — most post-build cleaners use standard vacs and the dust comes back. Maundy Clean's protocol genuinely captures it. Snagging-list cleaning included as standard.”
“I specify Maundy Clean in my handover package for clients. Their post-construction protocol is proper — top-down, room-sealed, HEPA H-class. The handover inspection walk-through with the client is gold — saves me a separate site visit. They've never let me down across 14 projects.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before booking a Maundy Clean post-construction clean in Scotland. Still unsure? Call us on +44 7735 322362 — we answer every enquiry personally.
Are windows included in a post-construction clean?
Yes — and they need specialist attention after building work. We clean the inside and outside of every window with a squeegee and pure-water system (no chemical haze), detail every frame to remove paint spots and plaster, vacuum and wet-wipe every sill, and vacuum window tracks (the channel the window slides in) with a crevice tool — a magnet for construction dust. Paint spots on glass are removed with a razor scraper at 30° angle, which won't scratch the glass.
Do I need to provide cleaning supplies or equipment?
No. MaundyClean supplies all of our own professional-grade equipment — including commercial HEPA H-class vacuums (99.995% efficient at 0.3 microns), tack-cloths, razor scrapers, pure-water window system, and eco-friendly solvents. These are already included in your fixed-price quote. You don't need to supply anything; we bring everything required to capture construction dust properly.
What happens if I'm not satisfied with the post-construction clean?
We take pride in our standards. Before we leave site, we walk through every room with you in a handover inspection — any missed areas are re-cleaned on the spot, no return visit, no argument. If you are dissatisfied with any area of your clean, contact us within 7 days and we will provide a free re-clean to make it right. We also provide a written handover checklist signed by both parties confirming each room has been inspected.
When should post-construction cleaning be scheduled?
5–7 days after the final fixings (sockets, light switches, taps). This allows the construction dust to settle completely — scheduling earlier means more dust will appear after we clean. For new builds, we come in just before furniture arrives. For extensions and refits, we clean the affected rooms plus a 5-metre buffer zone to capture dust tracked into adjacent areas. We coordinate with your builder — they'll know when the site is ready.
Do you handle hazardous construction waste?
No. Hazardous waste — asbestos, lead paint, treated timber offcuts, chemical solvent containers — requires a licensed hazardous waste contractor. We handle the cleaning of non-hazardous construction dust, plaster, cement, paint, and adhesive residue. If hazardous materials are present, we will flag them on the site survey and recommend a specialist contractor before scheduling our clean. Safety first, always.
