After the Trades Leave

Cleaning after renovations, fit-outs and building work

Renovations can leave more behind than visible rubbish. Fine dust settles on ledges, cabinetry, skirting boards, frames, fixtures and floors. New fittings may have fingerprints and surface marks, while windows, cupboards and corners need detailed attention before the property is occupied or handed over.

We help with:

Kitchen and bathroom renovations
Room extensions and full-home renovations
Newly built homes and pre-handover presentation
New shops, retail spaces and commercial fit-outs
Rental property refurbishments and pre-occupancy cleaning
After-builders cleaning following completed, safe building work

Builders and tradespeople welcome: we can discuss one-off handover cleans and repeat cleaning requirements for suitable projects.

FAQ

Post-Renovation Cleaning Melbourne – Frequently Asked Questions

What is post-renovation cleaning?

Post-renovation cleaning is a detailed clean performed after renovation or building work to remove settled dust, dirt, fingerprints and ordinary surface residue from suitable accessible areas, so the finished property is ready for use or handover.

Is post-renovation cleaning the same as builders cleaning?

The terms overlap. At Panthara, post-renovation cleaning focuses on cleaning finished residential and commercial spaces after building work. Larger new-build and builder handover projects are assessed and quoted according to their scope.

How much does post-renovation cleaning cost in Melbourne?

At Panthara, suitable smaller post-renovation jobs start from $380 for up to 4 cleaner-hours, subject to assessment, with additional cleaning time at $80 per extra cleaner-hour. Larger homes, new builds, builders cleaning and more detailed properties are quoted individually based on condition, size and requirements.

Can you clean newly built houses and shops?

Yes. Panthara has experience with completed new homes, shops and builder-arranged cleaning projects. Send us your project details and we can assess the work and provide a quote.

Do you remove paint, cement or adhesive marks?

Standard cleaning does not automatically include specialist residue removal. Tell us about any paint, grout, cement, silicone or adhesive marks so we can assess whether the work can be safely included or needs a specialist service.

When should I arrange the cleaning?

Ideally after construction, sanding and other dust-generating work is finished, the site is safe, and trades have completed their final tasks. A clean booked too early may need repeating.

Do you bring your own cleaning products and equipment?

We bring products and equipment appropriate for the agreed standard cleaning work. Renovation dust and sensitive finishes may require specialised methods or equipment, which must be confirmed before booking.
