After-builders cleaning work in Grafton Street

After-builders work is a different trade to domestic cleaning: fine dust settles for days, and paint, adhesive and plaster need removing without damaging new finishes. It pays well per visit, and builders who find someone who can do it call back on every job.

Dublin has the densest cleaning market in the country, and the most competition for it. Apartment turnovers, short-let changeovers and office contracts run all year rather than in season, which is what makes it possible to build a full week here without travelling far between jobs.

Requests in Grafton Street and the surrounding parts of Co. Dublin go out to professionals who cover the area. You say where you travel, so you are not offered work an hour away.

What comes up in this trade

  • Final clean before a renovation is handed over
  • Dust removal after plastering and sanding
  • Paint and adhesive removal from new glass and tiles
  • Repeat work from the same builders and contractors

What the work needs

  • Dust masks and a vacuum that handles fine debris
  • Care with new surfaces that mark easily
