Builders cleaning across Greater Sydney, run as two stages: a rough clean that strips bulk debris and airborne construction dust, then a detail sparkle clean that takes the property to handover standard. Fine silica dust from cutting and grinding is removed with HEPA-filtered vacuums rather than swept, in line with the crystalline silica duties in the NSW WHS Regulation 2017. Grout haze, silicone smears, adhesive labels, protective film and paint drips come off glass and tiles with scrapers and safe solvents. All teams hold White Cards, are police-checked and $20M insured. From $400.
Quick Answer
After builders cleaning in Sydney costs $35–$55 per hour, with most jobs quoted as a fixed package. A typical post-renovation home (3 bedrooms) costs $400–$800; a larger 4–5 bedroom property with heavy dust and paint splatter runs $800–$1,200. Commercial fit-outs are scoped individually — a single-floor office averages $600–$1,500. A minimum call-out fee of around $200–$250 applies to small jobs.

The two-stage method exists because a single pass cannot work. Fine dust that has settled inside cornice returns, on top of door frames and in the tracks of sliding windows keeps falling for hours after the first disturbance; clean the floor first and you clean it again. Stage one, the rough clean, strips bulk debris, offcuts, packaging and protective coverings, HEPA-vacuums from ceiling level down, and removes the heavy deposits — cement and render splatter, tile adhesive, expanding foam, silicone smears, plaster dust and construction adhesive. This is also when defects surface: a scratched panel or a chipped tile is invisible under dust and very visible after it.
Stage two, the sparkle clean, happens once trades are genuinely finished. Glass is scraped and polished inside and out including frames, tracks and reveals; grout haze is removed with an acid-based haze remover rather than water; protective film, adhesive labels and barcode stickers come off appliances, tapware, glass and mirrors; joinery is cleaned inside and out including the top of overhead cupboards; light fittings, downlight rims, exhaust fans, air vents and switch plates are detailed; bathrooms and kitchens are sanitised to move-in standard; hard floors are damp-mopped and buffed. The distinction matters when comparing quotes: a “builders clean” priced at half the market rate is almost always one pass.
Anywhere concrete, brick, tile, render or engineered stone has been cut, ground or drilled, the residual dust contains respirable crystalline silica. Under the NSW WHS Regulation 2017 the workplace exposure standard for RCS is 0.05 mg/m³ over eight hours, and NSW has additionally banned the fabrication of engineered stone from mid-2024. The practical consequence for a builders clean is simple and non-negotiable: dry sweeping and standard shop vacuums are not acceptable controls, because both re-aerosolise the exact particle size that causes silicosis. We use H-class HEPA-filtered vacuums and wet methods, with respiratory protection where the residue load warrants it. A contractor who arrives with a broom and a domestic vacuum is creating an exposure incident on your site, under your principal contractor duty.
All our teams hold a current General Construction Induction card (White Card) issued under the WHS Regulation, so they can be inducted onto an active site without holding up your programme, and we work to a site-specific SWMS where the clean overlaps with live construction work.
Floor area is a weak predictor on its own. The variables that actually set the number are: glazing area — a house with full-height glass and stacker doors can be 40% of the total labour on its own; whether protective film was used, and how long it has been baking on, since sun-cured film and adhesive residue are slow to remove; the state of handover from trades, because a site where painters have masked properly and tilers have sponged their own grout is a fraction of the work of one where they have not; tile and stone finish, as honed and textured surfaces hold haze and grout residue far more stubbornly than polished; access and services — no power, no water, no lift, or a live site with restricted hours all add time; and the deadline, since compressing a two-day job into an overnight turnaround means putting three crews on it.
Typical Sydney ranges: a 3-bedroom post-renovation home $400–$800; a 4–5 bedroom new build with heavy dust $800–$1,200; a single-floor commercial fit-out of 200–400m² $600–$1,500; larger multi-level fit-outs and apartment blocks scoped per project. A minimum call-out of around $200–$250 applies to small or urgent jobs.

After builders cleaning covers everything left behind by the construction or renovation team: fine construction dust removed from all surfaces including inside cupboards, light fittings, exhaust fans, air vents, and skirting boards; paint splatter, silicone residue, grout haze, adhesive stickers, and protective film removed from glass, tiles, and joinery; all windows cleaned inside and out; bathrooms and kitchens cleaned and sanitised to handover standard; hard floors swept, mopped, and buffed; carpet vacuumed and spot-cleaned. The result is a property clean enough to hand over or move into immediately.
A typical 3-bedroom residential renovation takes 6–12 hours with a two-person team — usually one full day. A larger 5-bedroom new build may require two days. We run a two-stage process: a rough clean first (removing bulk debris and dust) followed by a detail sparkle clean. Large commercial fit-outs are scoped with a dedicated team and a delivery timeline agreed before work starts. Pro Clean Corp provides accurate timeframes after a free on-site assessment.
A regular clean maintains a clean property — it does not deal with construction by-products. After builders cleaning requires specialist equipment, chemicals, and techniques to remove cement splatter, grout haze, silicone residue, construction adhesive, paint drips, and fine silica dust that penetrate surfaces and are impossible to remove with standard mops and cloths. All Pro Clean Corp after builders staff hold White Card certification for construction site access and are trained on safe silica dust handling protocols.

A builders clean is usually the first job on a new tenancy — most clients roll straight into a recurring commercial cleaning Sydney programme once the fit-out is handed over, staffed by the same commercial cleaners Sydney team. For warehouse, factory and plant construction, the handover clean sits with our industrial cleaning Sydney division. Residential renovations that also need a bond clean should see end of lease cleaning, and heavily glazed builds often add a dedicated window cleaning visit.
