Post-construction sparkle cleans, snagging cleans, and final handover cleans for new-build sites, refurbishments, and commercial fit-outs — to a standard that lets sales, marketing, and clients move in straight away.
Construction projects end the day they finish — and the gap between dusty site and showable building is whatever your builders clean delivers.
We deliver post-construction sparkle cleans, builders cleans, and final handover cleans across Bristol and the South West — for housebuilders, commercial developers, and fit-out contractors. To a standard that lets your sales team photograph, your client move in, or your tenant trade from day one. Every Clean Bees builders clean is carried out by directly-employed, trained operatives who understand construction-site protocols. Our teams work with full PPE, RAMS and COSHH documentation, and can coordinate access and sequencing with principal contractors and project managers — because timing, safety, and access requirements on live sites are fundamentally different from a standard commercial clean. Construction dust is finer and more pervasive than ordinary dirt: it settles in cavities, embeds in surfaces, and requires HEPA-filtered vacuums and industrial-grade equipment to remove completely. General contractors applying domestic-grade techniques to a post-construction environment rarely achieve the standard required for client handover, leaving residue that triggers snagging, delays occupation, or forces a second-pass clean at additional cost. Clean Bees scope covers HEPA vacuuming throughout, internal glass cleaned clear of splatter and protective film, kitchens and bathrooms sanitised to a presentation finish, floors treated appropriately to surface type, and sticker and label removal from all fittings and glazing. Each visit is documented with timestamped photo evidence through our client portal, giving developers and project managers a clear completion record without a site visit.
Most projects need more than one type of clean, delivered in sequence as the programme allows. Clean Bees covers all three stages of post-construction cleaning — initial builders clean, final sparkle clean, and post-handover visit — under a single contractor, removing coordination overhead and maintaining a consistent standard throughout. We scope each project individually based on size, programme, handover requirements, and the finish your client, sales team, or tenant expects. Typical scope covers:
Need something specific not listed here? We'll discuss it at your free site survey.
Our operatives hold the British Institute of Cleaning Science (BICSc) Cleaning Operators Proficiency Certificate — trained to handover bar, not domestic-clean bar.
Handover cleans completed on 6+ unit residential developments across BS3, BS5, and BS13. We scale teams to match the programme — from single-unit fit-outs to multi-block schemes.
Dust returns. We can come back for snag-clean visits as the snagging list closes — most clients run a rolling schedule until practical completion.
RAMS-documented, CSCS-card-holding crews. Dust-control PPE issued per HSE construction dust guidance. Full coordination with principal contractor.
Construction timelines slip. Standard lead time from contract sign-off to crews on site is 48 hours — built for the reality that handover dates move.
Sales and marketing teams see units cleaned and signed-off ready for photography or viewings — timestamped photo evidence through our client portal, without a site visit.
“Really impressed with Clean Bees. We hired them for a builders clean and the standard of work was excellent. They tackled everything from top to bottom and the results were spot on. A reliable, professional team — wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing a post-build clean in Bristol.”
“We've been extremely impressed with the cleaning service. The team is reliable, thorough, and consistently delivers a high standard. Communication is excellent, and the added reporting system with photos gives great peace of mind that everything is being completed properly.”

A builders clean is the initial post-construction clean to remove dust, debris, packaging, and residue. A sparkle clean is the final clean before handover, bringing surfaces to a presentation-ready finish.
Yes. We deliver both stages, giving you one contractor across the full post-construction cleaning process with continuity of standards.
As early as possible is best, especially for larger sites or tight handover windows. Contact us with your programme and we will confirm availability and dates.
Yes. We work with developers, main contractors, fit-out contractors, and project managers, and understand construction project requirements and communication.
We handle projects from single-unit fit-outs and apartment conversions through to larger commercial developments and multi-unit residential schemes.
Yes. Our teams use equipment and products suited to post-construction dust, adhesive residue, paint splashes, and protective film removal.
Yes. Through our client portal, each stage is logged with photo evidence and timestamps, giving project managers and developers clear completion records.

A builders clean covers the full scope of a post-construction environment: all surfaces and cavities HEPA-vacuumed and wiped down, internal glass cleaned clear of splatter and protective film, kitchens and bathrooms sanitised and polished, hard floors treated to surface type, and stickers and labels removed from all fittings and glazing. External areas are typically out of scope unless agreed separately.
Duration depends on the size and complexity of the project and the standard required at handover. A single-unit apartment typically takes half a day to a full day; a multi-unit residential scheme or commercial fit-out is scoped as a multi-day programme with team sizes matched to the timeline. Clean Bees provides a programme plan at the quotation stage.
No. A deep clean is an intensive clean of an existing operational space. A builders clean is specifically designed for post-construction environments, addressing construction dust, adhesive residue, paint splatter, and protective film removal using specialist equipment and products not used in routine commercial cleaning.
The initial builders clean should take place after all construction trades have completed their work and before furniture, equipment, or soft furnishings are installed. This allows unobstructed access to all surfaces. The sparkle clean follows once all fit-out is complete and the site is ready for handover or occupation.
Yes. Our teams operate to full construction-site protocols including site-appropriate PPE, RAMS and COSHH documentation, and induction procedures as required by the principal contractor. We are experienced in coordinating with site managers and working within the constraints of an active programme.
