What you are booking

What this is

Post-construction cleaning in Abu Dhabi removes the fine dust, debris and residue left after a renovation, fit-out or new build, so the property is ready to live in, lease or hand over. The team works top down — ceilings, light fittings, AC vent covers, walls and frames, then glass, fixtures, cabinets and finally floors — using vacuums before any wet cleaning so plaster and cement dust is lifted, not smeared. Because the job needs our equipment, it is booked on the with-materials rate only, AED 35 per cleaner per hour including VAT, with a minimum of 2 cleaners for 3 hours each. Photos of the site help us plan the team and hours before we arrive.

  1. Send photos and the scopeRooms, floor area, what work was done and when it finished. We confirm the team size and expected hours from the photos.
  2. Debris checkLarge debris, offcuts and packaging should be removed by the contractor first. The team removes light debris and dust, not construction waste.
  3. Dry dust removal, top downCeilings, fittings, vent covers, walls, frames and ledges are vacuumed and dry-dusted first.
  4. Detail cleaningGlass and frames, sockets and switches, cabinets inside and out, sanitary ware and tiles — paint splashes and residue removed where the surface allows.
  5. Floors last, then inspectionFloors are vacuumed, then washed, often more than once, and the team leader walks the property with you.

Sites We Clean

Renovated apartments

Usually 2–3 cleaners for 4–6 hours, depending on how much of the flat was worked on.

Villas after renovation or extension

Three or four cleaners for most of a day; very dusty sites sometimes need a second visit after the dust settles.

New-build handovers

Protective films, labels and residue removed, plus a full dust-down before the owner moves in.

Offices and retail fit-outs

Timed around the contractor's snagging so the space is clean for opening day.

How Much Does Post-Construction Cleaning Cost?

Post-construction cleaning is charged at AED 35 per cleaner per hour with our materials and equipment, VAT included, with a minimum of 2 cleaners for 3 hours (AED 210). The without-materials rate is not offered for this service because it depends on our vacuums and equipment. The total depends on the size of the site and how much dust and residue the works left.

  • Floor area and number of rooms
  • Type of work done — sanding, tiling and plastering leave far more dust than painting
  • Paint, grout or cement residue on glass, tiles and fixtures
  • Whether the contractor has already removed debris
  • Number of windows and glass partitions reachable from inside
  • Whether a second, lighter visit is needed once remaining dust settles

How Long Does It Take?

A renovated apartment usually takes 4–6 hours with 2–3 cleaners; a villa can take a full day with a larger team. Fine dust keeps settling for a day or two after heavy works, so on big jobs we sometimes recommend a short follow-up visit rather than one very long day.

Common Post-Renovation Problems

Fine plaster and cement dust

It settles on every surface and inside cupboards. Vacuuming before wet cleaning stops it turning into a film.

Paint splashes on glass and tiles

Fresh splashes are removed carefully with the right tools; hardened paint on delicate surfaces is tested on a small area first.

Grout haze on new tiles

A light haze can be removed; heavy residue left by the tiler may need the contractor to return.

Dust in AC vents

Vent covers are cleaned. If the AC ran during the works, AC duct cleaning is worth booking so dust is not blown back out.

Before the Clean

  • Make sure all trades have finished in the rooms to be cleaned
  • Have large debris, offcuts and packaging removed
  • Keep water and electricity connected
  • Turn off the AC during the clean if the ducts have not been cleaned
  • Send photos so the right team size is booked

After the Clean

Run the ventilation and keep windows closed on dusty days for the first week. If the AC ran during the works, book AC duct cleaning next. Carpets, curtains and sofas that were in the property during the works are best cleaned separately — they are priced per item.
