Post-construction and sparkle cleans that get your site handover-ready, delivered to deadline by employed teams with the equipment to handle the job properly.
Trusted by 150+ properties across Bristol and the South West
A builders clean is one of the most important cleans a building will ever have. After weeks or months of construction, fit-out, or refurbishment work, the site needs to go from building site to occupiable space, often to a tight deadline and to a standard that satisfies developers, clients, or incoming tenants.
Clean Bees provides professional builders cleans and sparkle cleans across Bristol and the South West. Whether you’re handing over a new office fit-out, a residential development, a refurbished retail unit, or a newly built commercial property, we have the team, the equipment, and the experience to get it done properly and on time. We work directly with developers, contractors, property managers, and project managers, and we understand that on a construction project, the schedule does not move for anyone.
What’s Included in Our Builders Clean Service
Every post-construction clean is different depending on the type of build, the scale of the project, and the handover standard required. We typically offer two stages:
Stage 1 — Builders Clean
The initial clean after construction is complete but before snagging and final inspection. This removes the bulk of construction debris, dust, and mess.
- Removal of construction dust and debris
- Cleaning of all hard surfaces, floors, and walls
- Internal window frames and glass (construction residue)
- Sanitising of newly fitted kitchens, bathrooms, and toilets
- Clearing of packaging materials and waste
- Vacuuming of carpets and soft furnishings if fitted
- Cleaning of skirting boards, architraves, and woodwork
Stage 2 — Sparkle Clean
The final clean immediately before handover, inspection, or occupation. This brings the building to a presentation-ready standard.
- Deep clean of all surfaces to a streak-free finish
- Internal glass and mirrors to a spotless standard
- Kitchen appliances, fixtures, and fittings
- Bathrooms and en-suites to show-home standard
- Final floor clean and polish
- Touch-up of any areas missed or marked during snagging
Need both stages, or just one? We’ll discuss exactly what’s required at your free site survey and quote accordingly.
Why Developers & Contractors Choose Clean Bees
Experienced, well-equipped, and deadline-focused, because on a construction project, timing is everything.
Deadline-Focused Delivery
We understand that handover dates are fixed and the pressure is real. We’ll agree a programme with you in advance and deliver to it, without needing to be chased as the date approaches.
Properly Equipped Teams
Builders cleans require more than standard cleaning equipment. Our teams arrive with the tools and products needed to tackle construction dust, adhesive residue, paint splashes, and post-build debris properly.
Two-Stage Capability
We can deliver both the initial builders clean and the final sparkle clean, giving you a single contractor to manage across both stages and continuity of standards throughout.
Photo-Verified Completion via XOTA
Every stage of the clean is logged with photo evidence and timestamps in our XOTA client portal. Project managers and developers have secure access to completion records, useful for handover documentation and sign-off.
Employed, Not Contracted
All our cleaning staff are directly employed and managed in-house. On a time-critical project you need people who show up, not agency workers who might not.
Fully Insured
Comprehensive public liability and employer’s liability insurance in place across all our services, essential when working on active construction or development sites.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a builders clean and a sparkle clean?
A builders clean is the initial post-construction clean that removes dust, debris, packaging, and construction residue. A sparkle clean is the final clean immediately before handover or occupation, bringing every surface to a presentation-ready, streak-free finish. Many projects require both stages.
Can you do both the builders clean and the sparkle clean?
Yes, we can deliver both stages, giving you a single contractor across the whole post-construction cleaning process and continuity of standards between stages.
How far in advance do we need to book?
As early as possible is always better, particularly for larger sites or tight handover windows. Get in touch when you have a programme and we’ll confirm availability and agree dates that fit your schedule.
Do you work directly with developers and main contractors?
Yes, we work with developers, main contractors, fit-out contractors, and project managers. We’re used to the requirements and communication style of a construction project environment.
What size of projects do you handle?
We work on projects of varying sizes, from single-unit fit-outs and apartment conversions to larger commercial developments and multi-unit residential schemes. Each is quoted individually based on scope.
Do you have the right equipment for post-construction cleaning?
Yes, builders cleans require specialist equipment and products to deal with construction dust, adhesive residue, paint splashes, and protective film removal. Our teams arrive properly equipped for the job.
Can you provide photo evidence of completion?
Yes, through our XOTA client portal, every stage of the clean is logged with photo evidence and timestamps. Project managers and developers have secure access to these records, which can be used as part of handover documentation.
