Interwar and post-war semis round Sharston
The council tax list for the statistical area round M22 9HD holds 4,140 homes. Of those with a recorded build date, 48.1% went up between 1919 and 1939 and 30.7% between 1945 and 1972; only about 210 are from 2015 or later. At the 2021 Census, 43.1% of the 7,105 households in Sharston ward lived in a semi, 26.2% in a terrace and 23.0% in a flat (21.3% in purpose-built blocks).
Houses of that age have brick walls under plaster and plain ceilings, so most of the dust a refurbishment leaves is new: gypsum from walls that were skimmed, brick dust where a wall came out, sanding dust from new doors and skirting. It settles on window boards, on top of the doors and inside every new kitchen unit. The crew works from the top of each room down and dusts twice, because the fine stuff comes down again after the first wipe.
47.3% of Sharston households rent from a social landlord and 37.0% own their home. A house got ready for the next tenant usually has empty rooms, and empty rooms clean faster.
Longley Lane: the plasterboard tip and trade transfer station in Sharston
The one Manchester recycling centre that takes plasterboard is in Sharston. Longley Lane (M22 4RQ) accepts plasterboard a householder took out, and up to five 900 mm by 600 mm sacks of DIY rubble and hardcore a visit. Those rules are for residents' own work. Plasterboard or rubble removed by a builder you paid is business waste, and no household site in Greater Manchester will take it.
Also at Longley Lane, on Leestone Road, the waste transfer station takes trade waste for a fee by the tonne, with a 500 kg minimum charge, so a builder clearing a Wythenshawe kitchen has somewhere close to tip it. Visitors need a hard hat, safety glasses, hi-vis, gloves and boots. Cement-bonded asbestos a householder removed can go to the transfer facility there, double wrapped, with proof of address; asbestos a contractor removed is refused everywhere in Greater Manchester.
The crew takes none of it away. Book the clean for after the skip has gone and the last bag has left the house.
New homes planned at Wythenshawe Civic Centre
The national brownfield register lists several Civic Centre plots for new homes within 1.5 km of the middle of the census area: the Shell site for 529 homes, Brotherton House on Cornfield Road for 305 and the old Barclays data centre site for 229. None had planning permission on the register when we checked, and the hospital site is listed for 370 homes on the same terms.
When flats like these are finished, the clean before the keys go over is a light one. Dust sits inside the cupboards and on top of the wall units, there is film and a label on every pane, and plaster smears round the sockets. The crew takes labels and paint flecks off new glazing where they will come off, and paint and labels off new windows explains how far that goes.
What a builders clean costs for a Wythenshawe semi
The sum is £30 per cleaner-hour plus £32 for equipment and detergents, with the hours agreed before the day.
- 3-bed semi after a new kitchen: 2 cleaners for 5 hours, £332 all in
- the same semi after a loft conversion, now a 4-bed: 3 cleaners for 4 hours, £392
- 2-bed flat redecorated between tenants: 2 cleaners for 3 hours, £212
The kitchen takes most of the time. Every cupboard and drawer is cleaned inside and out once it is empty, the worktops and splashback are washed, and the appliances are wiped outside. Cleaning a new kitchen or bathroom covers the tiling and sealant, and our prices has every size.
Crews also work north of the Mersey in Didsbury and over the Trafford boundary in Sale (M33), where Trafford Council sets its own permits. Skip, scaffold and parking fees for the city are on the rest of Manchester.

Anything else? Ring 07418 351088.
Can I take old plasterboard to Longley Lane?
Yes, if you took it out yourself: Longley Lane is the only Manchester recycling centre on the plasterboard list. Plasterboard a paid builder removed is business waste, so it goes in the builder's skip or to the trade transfer station.
Can you clean a Wythenshawe house while we still live in it?
Yes, once the work in the rooms to be cleaned is finished and the trades have left. The crew does not move personal belongings, food or crockery, so clear those rooms first. The smallest job is £212 all in.
Does the builders clean include the garden or the front path?
No. The builders clean is inside the house, with balconies swept. A patio or path can be jet washed as an add-on at £4 a m².
How much notice does a crew need in Wythenshawe?
About a week's notice is usually enough. Fridays and weekends go first, so send the builders' finish date and any moving date when you book.
