Steamtech have cleaned over 200 new build properties including numerous housing estates in Clonakilty, private houses throughout the county of Cork and commercial builds including many new SuperValu shopping centres nationwide.
We prepare a newly constructed or renovated space for occupancy. It goes beyond routine cleaning by addressing the specific mess and dust left behind by construction activities, ensuring a clean and ready-to-use environment.
Key Aspects of After-Build Cleaning:
Thorough Cleaning:
It involves a deep clean from top to bottom, removing construction debris, dust, and other remnants.
Specific to Construction:
It’s designed to tackle the unique challenges of construction sites, including removing drywall dust, paint splatters, and other construction-related messes.
Preparation for Occupancy:
The primary goal is to leave the space clean, tidy, and ready for use, whether it’s a new home, office, or commercial building.
Multiple Phases:
Some cleaning services involve multiple phases, such as rough cleaning to remove large debris, followed by deep cleaning and finishing touches.
Specialized Equipment:
Steamtech utilises specialised equipment to remove very fine construction dust & debris. The machine we use is called a Fein Dustex 35LX.
Why is After-Build Cleaning Important?
Health and Safety:
Removing dust and debris is crucial for improving indoor air quality and preventing health issues.
Aesthetic Appeal:
After-build cleaning ensures the building looks its best, creating a positive first impression for homeowners or occupants.
