What changes the price?
- How many rooms the dust reached, and the bathrooms and kitchen

- Cupboards and units you want cleaned inside
- Whether the home is empty or furnished
- Booking for today or tomorrow: providers can add a surcharge (by default +50% same day, +25% next day)
Where these prices come from
Every figure is a price a provider listed to a customer on the Cleanifiq results page, October 2025 to October 2026, for requests that asked for this service alone. “Typical” is the median; “most quotes” is the middle 80%. A city or a home size appears only once at least 10 customers asked for it, and the figures are refreshed every month.
After builders cleaning prices: your questions
- On Cleanifiq, after builders cleaning quotes are typically £167.00 in Glasgow and £210.00 in Edinburgh, from 89 requests, October 2025 to October 2026. A single refitted room costs less, a whole renovated house more.
- Yes. A new build is usually handed over with fine dust on every surface and inside the cupboards, which is the same work as after a renovation. Book the after builders clean before you move in, while the rooms are empty.
- No. Waste removal is not part of the service: your provider cleans dust and small debris. Rubble, offcuts, packaging and skips go with your builder or a registered waste carrier.
- A deep clean removes household grime. An after builders clean removes what the work left behind: fine dust on every surface, paint spots and plaster splashes. If both apply, book after builders and add the appliances you want cleaned inside.
- No. Cleanifiq charges customers no booking fee: the price a provider quotes is the price you pay. Same-day or next-day dates can carry a surcharge the provider sets, and it is shown in the quote.
