Quick answer

Post-renovation cleaning at a glance: price, time and what is included

Post-renovation cleaning means a thorough clean after building work. It is also called after-renovation cleaning, post-construction cleaning or a builders clean. The cleaner removes fine dust and debris from every surface. They clean the kitchen and bathroom and take paint and sealant splashes off glass and tiles.

Timing matters. Book it when the builders leave and the building waste is gone. Then the dust stops coming back, and you clean once, not twice.

Plaster dust gets everywhere: on top of door frames, inside sockets and behind radiators. A professional cleaning team can bring a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter, microfibre cloths and the right cleaning products for each floor. Then the dust particles are removed, not just moved around.

What’s included
Building dust off every surface, the kitchen and bathroom, paint and sealant splashes off glass and tiles, and the floors. Cupboards inside on request.
Price
After-renovation cleaning costs €45–€60 an hour. Fine building dust takes more time and better equipment than a normal clean. That is why the rate is higher than for house cleaning, which costs €25–€35 an hour.
How long
It depends on the floor area and the dust. With photos of every renovated room, the cleaner can plan the hours.
When to book
After the builders finish and the building waste is taken away, before your furniture goes back in.

Checklist

What does post-renovation cleaning include? A room-by-room cleaning checklist

The cleaner works from top to bottom. First the dust on the ceiling, high edges and frames, then the walls and surfaces, and the floors last. Two mistakes make a home dirtier: sweeping, which blows fine dust back into the air, and wiping wet before the dry dust is gone, which turns it into a paste. Name the rooms that were renovated and add photos.

Post-construction cleaning checklist

  • Construction dust: vacuumed and wiped off floors, skirting boards, doors, frames, sockets and window sills
  • Kitchen: worktops, cabinets inside and out, the hob and the sink, free of dust and sealant marks
  • Bathroom and toilet: tiles, grout haze, taps, shower glass and the toilet cleaned after the tiler
  • Windows: paint, plaster and adhesive splashes removed from glass and frames, inside
  • Floors: vacuumed and mopped, with the right method for wood, laminate, PVC or tiles
  • Radiators, light fittings, vents and the top of door frames, where fine dust settles

Cleaning cost guide

See the cost guide

After a renovation in Rotterdam: what to plan for

Rotterdam has many post-war and newer flats with a lift, in the centre and on the Kop van Zuid, and 1930s homes in Blijdorp and Kralingen. In a flat with a lift, the cleaner can bring more equipment, such as a HEPA vacuum for fine dust. Ask the building manager whether the lift has to be booked or protected, and say so in your job.

In older homes with wooden floors and stairs, sanding dust gets into the gaps between the boards and onto every step. Add the stairs to your job if the builders worked upstairs.

In new-build flats the renovation is often a kitchen or bathroom. Then the job is mostly grout haze, sealant and dust in new cupboards.

The centre has paid parking. Name the nearest garage or arrange a visitor permit, and plan the clean after the building waste has been collected.

  2. Ask whether they bring a HEPA vacuum cleaner for fine building dust

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about after-renovation cleaning

Short answers to the questions customers ask most before they look for a cleaner.

What does after-renovation cleaning in Rotterdam cost?

After-renovation cleaning costs €45–€60 an hour. Fine building dust takes more time and better equipment than a normal clean. That is why the rate is higher than for house cleaning, which costs €25–€35 an hour.

When should I book after-renovation cleaning?

When the builders are finished and the building waste is gone. If you clean while work is still going on, the dust comes back. Book it before your furniture goes back in.

What is the difference with a deep clean?

Deep cleaning tackles grease, limescale and normal dirt in a home you live in. After-renovation cleaning removes fine building dust, paint and sealant splashes after building work, often in an empty home.

Does the cleaner take away building waste?

Usually not. Building waste, rubble and old materials are for the builder or a waste service. Agree it up front if you want help with small leftovers.

Can paint and sealant be removed from windows and tiles?

Yes, in most cases. The cleaner uses a scraper and products that suit glass and tiles. Mention the splashes in your job and add a photo.

Is renovation dust harmful?

Fine dust from plaster, concrete and drywall can irritate your eyes and airways, and dust from concrete and stone can contain silica. That is why a cleaner removes it with a HEPA vacuum and damp microfibre cloths instead of a broom. Open the windows for ventilation while the work is done.

Should I hire a professional or clean up myself after a renovation?

You can do it yourself, but fine building dust makes it slow, and two mistakes make a home dirtier: sweeping, which blows the dust back into the air, and wiping wet before the dry dust is gone. A professional cleaner works top to bottom with a HEPA vacuum. A flat often takes about one working day.

Is after-renovation cleaning also for offices and shops?

Yes. After building work in an office or a shop the job is the same: dust, paint and sealant gone. Give the floor area and the opening hours, so the cleaning fits around your business.
