Post-Construction Cleaning in Oslo — from builders' dust to handover
When the building is finished but no one can move in yet — that's where we come in. We remove construction dust, adhesive residue, paint splatter and sanding dust so the property is ready for handover.
A builders' clean is not ordinary cleaning. Construction dust settles in ventilation grilles, rubber seals, cornice corners and beneath skirting boards. Adhesive residue on skirting boards won't shift with standard cleaners. Paint splatter on glass has to be scraped off without scratching. It takes specialist kit and a team that does this every week — which is exactly what we have.
We often work alongside joiners, electricians and painters in the final phase. We can coordinate directly with the site manager so you have one point of contact, not three. We provide a handover protocol you can attach to the final sign-off with the building owner.

What's the difference between a builders' clean and ordinary cleaning?
A builders' clean is about removing construction-related residue — dust in ventilation, adhesive, paint, sanding powder. It requires specific techniques (scraping without scratching, rubber-free cleaners that leave no residue) that aren't part of routine cleaning. If an ordinary cleaner attempts a builders' clean, you won't get a clean building.
Do you come before or after furniture is installed?
Preferably before. Furniture and textiles attract construction dust — if we go in first, the result lasts. Where needed, we can do a combined builders' clean and move-in, but it's usually more expensive because we have to work around the contents.
Can you start while some trades are still on site?
Yes, and in the final phase it's common. We'll work around a painter or electrician when it makes sense — but it's a balancing act: too much overlap means double work. We'll map out the sequence during the site survey.
Do you provide documentation for mortgage inspections or handovers?
Yes. We produce a handover protocol with a room-by-room checklist, signed and dated. Banks and property sellers accept it as evidence the builders' clean has been completed.
