After the renovation and furniture installation, your new property may still have dust, adhesive residues, paint splatters, and packaging debris. NewHome Clean provides a structured cleaning process designed for new constructions – each area is checked for visible and hidden residues before we finish.

Newly built homes often require more than a standard clean. During the final stages, construction dust settles into window tracks, light fittings, and ventilation grilles. Glue and paint may be left on floors and tiles. Even after furniture installation, packaging materials and protective films can remain. Our method focuses on each type of residue separately, using appropriate techniques for different surfaces.
NewHome Clean specialises in post-construction cleaning for properties across the UK. We understand that a new build is a significant investment, and the condition of the interior should reflect the effort put into it. Our team follows a systematic approach – we assess every room, identify the types of residues present, and apply cleaning processes suited to each material. This includes removal of fine dust, hardened adhesive, paint flecks, and protective wrapping. Each area is inspected before moving to the next stage.
Targeted removal of fine construction dust from all surfaces, ledges, and crevices.
Safe cleaning of glue residues and paint splatters from floors, tiles, and glass.
Collection and disposal of protective films, cardboard, and plastic wraps.
Each section is reviewed after cleaning to confirm no visible residues remain.
After our flat was finished, we were left with so much dust. NewHome Clean came and worked through every room. We could finally see the clean lines of our new home.
The sticky residue from the floor protectors was driving me crazy. Their team removed it without damaging the wood. The process was thorough and methodical.
We were moving in and had no time to clean. They handled everything – from window tracks to skirting boards. The checklist they followed gave us confidence everything was covered.
NewHome Clean’s approach is based on a multi-stage process developed specifically for new build properties. We begin with a pre-cleaning walkthrough to identify all residue types – dust, paint, glue, and packaging. Then we proceed in a defined order: dry removal of loose debris, wet cleaning of surfaces, and final wipe-down of high-touch areas. Each room has its own quality control step where a team member inspects the space using natural and artificial light. This layered strategy helps ensure that no area is skipped.
Timing can affect how easy or challenging the cleaning process becomes. If adhesive or paint is left to cure for a long time, it may require more effort to remove. Similarly, fine dust settles into porous surfaces the longer it sits. In some cases, protective films left on windows can become brittle and harder to peel. We generally recommend scheduling cleaning as soon as possible after furniture installation, but the specific condition of each property influences the approach we use.
Removal of paint splatters, sticker residue, and dust from both sides.
Detailed cleaning of edges, corners, and thresholds where dust accumulates.
Gentle cleaning of bulbs, shades, and recessed lighting without damage.
Thorough cleaning of tiles, grout, sinks, and countertops from construction residue.
A new build property typically contains multiple layers of residues. The first layer is dry construction dust – visible on every horizontal surface. Underneath that, tacky adhesive left over from floor protectors and window films. Then there are paint over-sprays and splashes, often found on trim and glass. Finally, scattered packing materials: cardboard, bubble wrap, and plastic sheeting. Each of these layers requires a different tool and technique. Our process is structured to remove each layer in sequence, minimising the risk of spreading residues across clean surfaces.
NewHome Clean uses a range of equipment selected for new build environments. For fine dust, we use HEPA-filtered vacuums and microfibre cloths that capture particles without scattering them. For adhesive removal, we apply solvents designed for the specific glue type – testing on a small area first. Paint residues are treated with gentle scrapers or specialised cleaners depending on the surface. Our team also uses step ladders and extension tools to reach high ledges and ceiling fixtures. All cleaning agents are chosen to be compatible with the materials commonly found in UK new builds.
We inspect the property and identify residues by type and location.
Remove loose dust and debris using vacuums and brushes.
Apply cleaning agents to adhesive, paint, and stubborn marks.
Each area is checked under light before sign-off.
Before we arrive, it helps to ensure that all personal belongings are secured and that there is clear access to rooms. If you have any fragile items, please let us know. Our team will focus on cleaning surfaces, floors, windows, and fixtures. We do not move heavy appliances unless arranged in advance. The goal is to leave the property in a state that reflects the effort put into the construction – with all visible construction residues addressed. We recommend walking through with our team after completion to see the result.
A systematic approach can help reduce the likelihood of missed spots or cross-contamination. By following a defined sequence of steps, each area receives consistent attention. The use of separate tools for dry and wet cleaning prevents dust from being redistributed. Quality checks at the end of each phase provide opportunities to address any overlooked residues before moving on. This method is not a guarantee of perfection, but it creates a clear framework for achieving a thorough result in new build environments.
You and our team review each room together.
All packaging and debris are removed from the property.
We verify that no residues remain on glass, floors, or walls.
