Builders cleaning in Alcobendas: what's included & how long

Post-construction cleaning in Alcobendas normally takes one to two working days for a two-bedroom flat and two to four days for a larger chalet, at an indicative rate of €6-12/m² depending on dust and heights. A proper builders clean covers fine construction dust on every surface, paint and adhesive residue, grout haze, windows, frames and tracks, and a final detail clean of kitchens and bathrooms, so the property is ready to live in or hand over.

What's included in a builders clean in Alcobendas

This is a deep, methodical clean carried out after building, painting or refurbishment work, not a standard domestic clean. We work from the top down and from the back of the property to the exit, so dust is not redistributed as we go.

• Removal of construction dust from ceilings, walls, skirting boards, door frames, radiators, sockets, switches and light fittings.
• Fine dust inside cupboards, wardrobes, drawers, kitchen units, extractor hoods and appliance housings.
• Paint spots, adhesive and silicone residue, tape marks, sticker residue and grout haze on tiles, glass, frames, worktops and sanitaryware.
• Bathrooms descaled and sanitised, including shower screens, taps, drains and tiles.
• Interior windows, frames, sills, runners and balcony glass, plus interior glazing of terrace doors where reachable.
• Kitchen cleaned inside and out: cupboards, worktops, sink, splashback, oven, hob and extractor.
• Floors vacuumed with fine-dust filtration, then washed and dried; a final detail check before we leave.

Not included as standard: removal of builder's rubble, paint tins or bulky waste, exterior facade cleaning, and any repair, plastering or painting work. We can tell you what needs a specialist before the clean so nothing holds up your move-in date.

How long does it take?

Timings below are typical for Alcobendas and the surrounding north-west of Madrid, assuming two or three cleaners and a property that has been finished (paint dry, plumbing connected):

• 1 bedroom, 50-70 m²: half a day to one day.
• 2-3 bedrooms, 80-120 m²: one to two days.
• Chalet or duplex, 150-250 m²: two to four days.
• After demolition work, or with double-height ceilings and large glazing: add roughly one day.

Heights and heavy dust are the two things that most often change the estimate, which is why they are built into the indicative range rather than fixed in advance.

Local factors that affect the job in Alcobendas

Madrid's dry climate, combined with underfloor or central heating running for long periods, produces very fine dust that settles again on surfaces you have just wiped, and a thin film of lime that builds up quickly in bathrooms. That is why we vacuum first with fine-dust filtration, then wash, then re-wipe wet areas last. In gated urbanisations and buildings with a portero, community rules on building and cleaning hours, lift protection and rubbish routes also matter: we plan access and timings with the portería in advance so the clean is not interrupted halfway through.

Alcobendas has a mix of new-build and refurbished homes, including the chalets around La Moraleja, and we see the same pattern across the region, from new build and reformas in the south (Fuenlabrada, Getafe) to larger properties in the north-west (Pozuelo, Las Rozas). Many of our clients are English-speaking residents and holiday-home owners, including expats in Salamanca, Chamberí, Pozuelo and La Moraleja, so the whole job, from the first call to the final walkthrough, can be handled in English.

Getting the best result on the day

• Leave water and electricity connected, and tell us if any of the works are still unfinished.
• Have keys or access codes ready, and warn the portero or administrator that a cleaning team is coming.
• Keep the property empty of furniture where possible; cleaning an empty flat is faster and more thorough.
• Point out any delicate finishes: microcement, natural stone, matt lacquer, brushed brass or hidden drainage.

Frequently asked questions (Preguntas frecuentes)

How much does post-construction cleaning cost in Alcobendas?

Indicatively €6-12/m² depending on dust and heights. The exact price depends on the size in square metres, the number of windows, how much dust there is and whether scaffolding or high-reach work is needed.

Can you clean before the furniture arrives?

Yes, and it is the best moment. Cleaning an empty property takes less time and reaches inside cupboards, skirting boards and corners of the bathroom properly. If the furniture is already in, we clean around it, but expect a slightly longer visit.

Do you remove builder's rubble and leftover materials?

No. All rubble, paint tins, offcuts and bulky waste must be removed before we start, as part of the works contract. We clean the dust and residue that remains after that clearance.
