Quick answereStreet! Cleaning works as a subcontracted cleaning crew for general contractors and construction companies in Tokyo and the surrounding prefectures. We take on the final cleaning of an interior once the trades have left, quote it per project at a fixed price from plans, floor area or photos, and hand back a checklist with photos so your site manager can sign off. Send us the drawings or a few photos and we reply within one hour.

Where our work fits in your schedule

On most projects the final clean is the last package to be released, and it is often squeezed between the last trade leaving and the owner’s inspection. We plan around that. Tell us which floors or rooms are free of other trades and which are still closed, and we agree an order of work that does not clean the same surface twice. If a trade is still finishing in one area, we start in the part that is ready and leave the rest until it is released. Standard visits run 9:00 to 17:00, and out-of-hours work can be agreed when your sequence needs it.

What the crew does on your project

Our crew removes construction dust and fine dust from surfaces, sills, frames, shelves and fixtures, wipes down walls, doors and built-in cabinets, and cleans windows, glass and sashes. We take off protective film, curing tape, stickers and labels, wipe fresh sealant or silicone smudges and light paint splatter from glass, tile and fixtures with surface-safe methods, and clean kitchens, bathrooms, toilets and washrooms. Floors are swept, vacuumed and damp-mopped, vents and grilles are wiped on the surface, and light debris and offcuts are collected into bags for the site’s own disposal. We finish with a detail pass against a checklist.

Working with your site manager

One person on our side stays in contact with your site manager by message. Before the visit we confirm access, keys or entry codes, loading and lift arrangements, where our equipment can be kept and who signs off at the end. We bring all products and equipment ourselves. If the manager changes the order of rooms on the day, we adjust. When we notice something that looks like a trade defect rather than dirt, we flag it with a photo so that it goes onto your punch list instead of being wiped over and forgotten.

A fixed price per project

Cleaning for contractors is quoted per project at a fixed price. We can quote from the drawings and floor area, from photos, or after a short look at the site. The quote states which rooms and surfaces are included, so that it lines up with the scope in your own subcontract documents. The price is confirmed by message before the visit and does not change on the day. If another area is released later and the scope grows, we quote that area separately and agree it before we start.

Sizing the team to the building

A single flat or a small shop is handled by one cleaner with a supervisor. Larger interiors use two cleaners with a supervisor, and for large projects the team is sized to the job, so a multi-floor building is not treated like a single room. When you send the floor area and layout, we tell you the team we propose and why. A supervisor is present on every visit and is the person who walks the checklist with your manager at the end.

Checklist, photos and the punch list

After every visit we send a photo report organised by room, together with the completed checklist. Contractors use it as evidence for the client and as a reference if a point is questioned later. If something was missed and you report it within 24 hours with a photo, we re-clean it at no extra cost. Items that are damage rather than dirt, such as scratches or cured paint, are reported separately so that the responsible trade can deal with them.

What is outside our scope

Clear limits make a subcontract easier to run. We do not do wax stripping and sealing, floor polishing machines, HVAC duct cleaning, industrial waste removal or hauling, exterior high-rise or gondola work, removal of cured paint or adhesive damage, scratch repair or biohazard work. We do not promise to remove damage that is part of the surface. If your package includes one of these, tell us early and we will say plainly whether we can help or whether another specialist is needed, rather than guess.

Area, language and payment

We serve the 23 wards of Tokyo and Kanagawa, Saitama, Chiba, Ibaraki, Tochigi and Gunma. Outside the 23 wards the travel cost is stated before the booking is final. Requests are accepted at any hour and answered within one hour, in English or Japanese, which helps when your client or design team is overseas. Business customers receive an invoice and normally pay by bank transfer; credit card, PayPay and cash are also accepted. A cancellation less than 24 hours before the visit is charged at 50%.

Handling variations and late changes

Contractors rarely finish on the drawing as first issued. A tenant requests another partition, an owner adds a storage room, or a floor is released earlier than planned. Tell us by message when the scope changes and we respond within one hour with the effect on the quote, stated as an addition to the existing fixed price. We never fold a change into the original price silently, and we never begin an added area before you have agreed to it. That keeps the subcontract tidy for your cost control and for the final account with the client.
