Cleaning subcontractor for builders in Tokyo
A cleaning contractor that takes the final-clean scope of your project, works to your checklist and reports back with photos.
Where we fit in your subcontract plan
Most builders already have a list of trades with a start and an end. Cleaning belongs at the tail, after the last installer has left and before the client walks the rooms. We take that one line of the plan as a defined scope: the areas, the surfaces and the finish you expect. Because the scope is set out by message before the visit, your site manager knows what is and is not included, and your client sees one consistent result.
What the crew actually does
Our crews remove construction dust and fine dust from surfaces, sills, frames, shelves and fixtures. They wipe walls, doors, fixtures and built-in cabinets, clean windows, glass and sashes, and remove protective film, curing tape, stickers and labels. Fresh sealant or silicone smudges and light paint splatter on glass, tile and fixtures are wiped with surface-safe methods. Kitchens, bathrooms, toilets and washrooms are cleaned, and floors are swept, vacuumed and damp-mopped.
Working around your other trades
We arrive when your supervisor tells us the interior is ready, not before. Standard visits run from 9:00 to 17:00, and out-of-hours work can be agreed if your programme needs it. If a trade is still working in one room, we can ask your supervisor to hold that room back, clean the finished rooms first and return for the rest, as long as this is agreed by message beforehand so the price stays what it was.
What we need to give you a price
Send whatever you have: drawings, the floor area, the number of rooms and floors, photos of the interior, or ask for a site look. We price from plans, floor area, photos or a visit, and we confirm one fixed price per project before the work begins. The price is fixed for the project and does not move because a corner turns out dustier than expected.
Team size
A small interior is handled by one cleaner with a supervisor. A larger one uses two cleaners with a supervisor, and for a large project the team is sized to the job. You do not need to guess the number of people. Describe the interior and we tell you by message how many people we would send, so that you can pass the information on to your own site record.
The checklist and the photo report
Every project closes with a final detail pass against a checklist, and you receive a photo report afterwards for the contractor or buyer. The photos are useful in two ways. They show your client what the interior looked like at handover, and they let your supervisor confirm any point quickly without a second trip to the site.
What we do not offer
We do not strip or seal wax, run floor polishing machines, clean HVAC ducts, remove or haul industrial waste, work on exteriors with gondolas or at height, remove cured paint or adhesive damage, repair scratches, or handle biohazard cases. We also cannot promise to remove damage that is part of the surface. If your scope includes any of these, we say so by message and let you plan another trade for it rather than guess.
If something is missed
If an area was missed and you report it within 24 hours with a photo, we re-clean it at no extra cost. This covers the cleaning scope we agreed, so a clear checklist at the start makes the claim simple for everyone.
Interiors that builders send us
The projects that reach a cleaning subcontractor vary widely: apartment units, detached houses, offices, shops, restaurants and other residential and commercial interiors. The floor plan changes but the sequence stays similar. Dust first, then surfaces, glass and fixtures, then sanitary rooms and kitchens, then floors, and finally the detail pass. Telling us the type of interior helps us choose the team and describe the scope in the words your client uses.
When the scope changes
Scopes move. A room is added, a floor is held back, or the client asks for a second look at a corridor. When that happens, send a message. We answer within 1 hour with a revised fixed price for the changed scope, and nothing extra is added at the visit. This keeps your site record straight, because every change to price and scope is on the same message thread as the original quote.
Following your site rules
Every site has its own rules about entry, shoes, noise, lifts and where materials may be placed. Pass them on in the first message and our crew works to them. If the building management requires a notice or a time slot for work, tell us the details and we plan the visit around it. Our supervisor stays in contact with your site manager by message during the visit, so any question about a room or a surface is settled on the spot instead of after the crew has left.
Contract, payment and coverage
Business customers receive an invoice and can pay by bank transfer, and card, PayPay and cash are also accepted. Cancelling less than 24 hours before the visit is charged at 50%. We serve the 23 wards of Tokyo plus Kanagawa, Saitama, Chiba, Ibaraki, Tochigi and Gunma, and outside the 23 wards travel cost is stated before the booking is final. Requests are accepted at any hour, and we work in English and Japanese.
