Copyright (c) 2010 Alison Withers Domestic construction work in a house that's occupied comes with its own special problems for a construction company. Perhaps you're working on a Listed Building, which comes with its own special requirements for the materials you'll need to use. Perhaps there are small children and pets that you'll need to be extra-careful to ensure there are no stray nails or other small bits of residue left behind that could harm them. Of course, you'll have advised them to clear and safely store anything that might get in the way of the work, or at the very least protect items from paint splashes and the inevitable dust. Although most building workers clean up at the end of their day's work, what happens at the end of the job? It's inevitable that after any new build or part build some dust hangs around for a few weeks after completion. To hand over the property to the client with the least amount of inconvenience to them it may be worth using a specialist Builders Clean at the end. Client recommendations, word of mouth or testimonals are the source of many domestic building projects. It could be the detail that encourages them to recommend you to friends and acquaintances considering building and renovation work themselves. If you do consider using a specialist builders clean company, you will want to be assured that they can handle the job to your satisfaction. You'll want them to walk the job with you first to understand how to deal with any specialist materials you may have had to use and you'll need them to be flexible and able to come in at short notice. You'll want to know if they can offer the full range of services that might be necessary including removal of debris and rubbish, cleaning of walls, window sills, skirting boards and lighting fixtures, removal of paint splashes, silicon and labels from glass, ealing and polishing of floors, perhaps chrome, laminated and wooden surfaces, vacuuming, spot cleaning and carpet shampooing, internal and outside window cleaning? For your clients' sakes you may want reassurance that any specialist cleaning products they're using are safe to use in an occupied building, are non-toxic, non-flammable and give off no unpleasant fumes. In a listed building they may need to understand the techniques of treating or cleaning surfaces, such as oiling wood, that can't be done using modern cleaners. Once they've finished you will want a full report of what they've done plus a list of any last-minute items that need fixing or anything they've spotted that's been left unfinished or damaged and you may also want confirmation that they dispose of everything they take away in a safe and environmentally-friendly manner. Although it may sound expensive the small extra investment could ensure your company stands out and help you win more business.
