Victorian, Edwardian and interwar houses in Hale
The council tax list for this part of Hale has 3,240 homes. Of those with a recorded build date, 22.9% are older than 1900, 26.9% went up between 1900 and 1918 and 27.6% between the wars; just 20 homes are from 2015 or later. At the 2021 Census 40.1% of households lived in a semi, 21.3% in a detached house and 26.0% in a terrace, and 82.0% owned their home.
Work on houses of this age is often large: a kitchen and garden room across the back, a loft bedroom with an en suite, rewiring and replastering throughout. The dust from that reaches three or four floors. It lies on the picture rails, the deep window boards and the tops of tall doors, gets behind the old cast-iron radiators and settles on every spindle of the staircase. The crew starts at the top of the house and works down, room by room, and dusts the hall and stairs again at the end because that is where everyone walked.
Hale Station, South Hale and The Downs conservation areas
Three conservation areas lie within 800 m of WA15 8RS: Hale Station, South Hale and The Downs, with nine grade II listed buildings. Parts of The Downs carry a heritage Article 4 Direction, so new windows, doors, roofs, chimneys, porches, gates and walls there are likely to need planning permission. In any Trafford conservation area a house extension, a dormer window or stone cladding needs a planning application, and every piece of tree work has to be notified to the council, protected or not.
Where original features have survived the works, the crew cleans leaded and stained glass by hand, takes care with encaustic hall tiles and old timber, and flags on the walk-round any paint on old glass it cannot remove without risk.
Bathrooms, stairwells and floors on large houses
On a big house the crew grows before the hours do, so a five-bedroom house gets three or four cleaners. Bathrooms are where the extra time goes: each one beyond the first adds about an hour and a half of cleaner time, for the tiles, grout, screens and taps. The crew's ladders reach to about 2 m, so tell the office about a tall stairwell window or a high lantern light when you send photos; anything the crew cannot reach safely is left and pointed out.
Original wood floors that have been sanded and sealed, or new oak laid during the works, are vacuumed and mopped as part of the clean. A deeper clean or a polish is extra: hard floor cleaning is £6 a square metre, or £8 with a polish. Outside glass reachable from the ground or from inside is outside window cleaning, priced by house size.
What a builders clean costs in Hale
A 4-bed Edwardian semi after a full renovation usually takes 4 cleaners for 5 hours: £632 all in, at £30 per cleaner-hour plus £32 for equipment and detergents.

Where there is a drive, the van goes on it. The builder clears the skip, the rubble and the old fittings; Trafford's recycling centres, Woodhouse Lane in Altrincham included, turn away trade waste. Skip and scaffold permits for the borough are on after builders cleaning in Trafford. Crews also cover Altrincham (WA14) to the west and Wythenshawe to the east, which is in Manchester and under Manchester City Council's rules.

Anything else? Ring 07418 351088.
Can the crew reach the top of a tall stairwell?
The crew's ladders go to about 2 m. Anything higher that cannot be reached safely is left and pointed out, so photos of the stairwell help the office plan.
Can you polish the original floorboards after the works?
Yes, as an add-on: a hard floor deep clean is £6 a square metre and clean and polish £8 a square metre. The builders clean itself vacuums and mops them.
Do we have to move out for the clean?
No. Someone can stay in one room while the crew works through the rest of the house, as long as the builders have finished.
How far ahead should we book?
Book once the builder gives you a firm finish date. About a week's notice is usually enough, and Fridays and weekends fill first.
