Handover cleans in the new blocks by Imperial Wharf and Chelsea Creek
Council tax records for this corner of SW6 put 32.9% of the homes with a recorded build date in the years 2000 to 2014 and another 26.7% (about 1,720 homes) in 2015 or later. The council's brownfield register lists sites for new homes nearby, among them the land between Fulham Gasworks and the railway at Chelsea Creek, given permission in 2019.
In a new flat, protective film is still on the window frames, the glass carries stickers and the odd paint fleck, and the shower room has silicone smears and a haze of grout on the porcelain. Fine dust from the last fix sits in the extract vents, on top of kitchen units and along the skirting. The crew takes it in order: high surfaces first, then cupboards inside and out, then glass, then floors, with the balcony swept at the end.
Most of these flats are light work. A 2-bed with nothing but final-fix dust usually takes 2 cleaners for 3 hours: £212 all in. A developer handing over several flats can send the list with photos and the office prices each one; shop units on the ground floor of a block come under commercial after builders cleaning.
The gasworks and the older streets of Sands End
The Imperial Gas Works opened here in 1823 to make town gas, and its Gasholder No 2 is now listed at Grade II*. Sands End and Imperial Square and Gasworks are both conservation areas, and Imperial Square itself is a group of two-storey cottages built in the 1870s as tied homes for the gas company's workers.
A quarter of the homes in this part of the ward were built before 1900. Refurbishing one of those means plaster dust in cornices, grit packed into sash window boxes and old floorboards that want a damp cloth, never a soaking. The crew lifts paint flecks from glass where they will come off and says on the day if a mark will not.
Parking, loading and waste for a job in SW6
The council's trader permit only covers weekdays from 9am to 5pm, so a Saturday clean in Sands End needs a resident's visitor session or a space in the block's own car park. In a managed block, book the goods lift and the loading bay with the concierge before the day and send us the building's rules; the crew carries vacuums, ladders and detergents in, so a lift matters.
Builders' waste is the builder's, and the firm has to use an authorised carrier. A resident with a van can take their own DIY waste to Cringle Dock, across the river in Battersea, after telling the waste authority they are coming. Offcuts, boxes and spare tiles need to be out of the flat before the crew starts.
What a builders clean costs in a Sands End flat
87.5% of households in Sands End ward live in flats and 61.7% of all households are in purpose-built blocks, so most jobs here are flats. A 1-bed after a refurbishment takes 2 cleaners for 3 hours: £212 all in. A 3-bed duplex or house after a full renovation or a new basement is 3 cleaners for 5 hours at £482. What a builders clean costs shows the add-ons and how the cleaner-hours are counted.

Anything else? Ring 07418 351088.
Can you clean a new-build flat in Sands End before the buyer moves in?
Yes, once the snagging trades have finished. The crew removes film and labels from glazing, cleans the kitchen and bathroom fittings and vacuums the dust out of vents and cupboards. Labels off new windows, and paint flecks where they will come off, are part of the standard clean.
Do you clean the outside of the glass on a riverside balcony?
Only where it can be reached safely from inside, and it is priced as an extra. The inside of every window, frames, sills and tracks are included.
How much notice do you need for a clean in Sands End?
About a week is usually enough. Fridays and weekends book up first, so a Saturday handover is worth fixing early, along with the lift and loading bay.
Will the crew deal with grout haze on new porcelain tiles?
On wall tiles and in the shower, the crew lifts haze and silicone smears where they will come off, with the right product for the surface. Haze across a whole tiled floor is grout residue on new floors, the hard floor deep clean, an extra at £6 a m².
