Settled dust
Describe rooms affected by sanding, cutting or drilling, including adjacent spaces. Accessible ledges, frames and fittings may hold settled dust. Sensitive equipment and ventilation components need separate consideration.
FOR YOUR PREMISES
A cleaner finish after the trades leave
Arrange the clean when dust-producing work is finished. Explain the refurbishment, remaining residue and reopening date, with care information for new finishes and a clear site-access plan.

THE RIGHT BRIEF
Building dust can reach adjacent rooms and settle again while cutting, drilling or sanding continues. Describe the work and which trades remain. Identify ledges, doors and fittings affected by dust. Sensitive equipment and ventilation components may need a separate contractor. Adhesive, paint and cement residue should be described individually; removal depends on the surface and cannot be assumed to be ordinary wiping.

PLAN THE WORK
Separate settled dust, new finishes and glass from contractor clearance. If reopening is phased, identify the boundaries between cleaned rooms and remaining work.
Describe rooms affected by sanding, cutting or drilling, including adjacent spaces. Accessible ledges, frames and fittings may hold settled dust. Sensitive equipment and ventilation components need separate consideration.
Identify new stone, coated metal and glazing. Describe adhesive, paint or cement marks individually and share care instructions. Residue removal depends on the surface; aggressive scraping should not be assumed suitable.
Arrange removal of rubble, offcuts, packaging and large waste by the responsible contractor. Confirm safe access and completed electrical work. Potentially hazardous dust or materials require appropriate specialist assessment.
Give a realistic completion date and flag any remaining trades. Where the building opens in stages, mark boundaries and keep cleaned rooms protected. Allow time for drying and inspection before staff or customers return.
HOW IT WORKS
Send the works schedule and photographs of affected surfaces.
Check dust removal and residue treatment as separate tasks.
Have the contractor remove tools and waste before the final clean.

BEFORE THE VISIT
Agree who removes rubble, offcuts and packaging. Cleaning is not a substitute for the builder’s site clearance. Confirm that exposed hazards and unfinished electrical work have been dealt with. Share care instructions for new finishes, and obtain the appropriate specialist assessment where hazardous materials are suspected. If the building opens in stages, keep the boundary between works and cleaned rooms clear.
PRICES & QUOTATIONS
Explain the refurbishment work, dust spread and surfaces affected by residue. Photographs of paint, grout or adhesive help show where an assessment is needed. Quote final cleaning separately from waste clearance and any later clean after further trades. New glazing with construction residue needs an assessment of coatings and safe access. See commercial window cleaning.

GOOD TO KNOW
Questions about settled dust, new finishes and glass.
Describe exactly what remains. Dust-producing work can quickly undo cleaning, so finishing it first is usually the more practical sequence. A phased clean requires clear room boundaries.
Discuss it separately. Arrange who clears rubble, packaging and offcuts before the cleaning appointment; site clearance should not be assumed part of the visit.
Send photographs and material information. The residue and finish need consideration before removal is agreed, and some marks may not be safely removable by general cleaning.
