Post-construction cleaning in Setagaya, Tokyo
A careful final clean for house renovations and low-rise apartments in Setagaya, quoted per project before the visit.
A home, not a building site
In Setagaya the typical request is a detached house or a floor of a low-rise apartment where the family is about to move back in, or has been living through the work. That means the final clean is judged by the people who will touch every surface: children on the floor, an elderly parent in the bathroom, a new owner who will open every cabinet. We treat the checklist accordingly, starting with the places that are used most, and we write the report so that a homeowner who is not in construction can follow it.
Whole-house renovations and partial ones
The job may be a full renovation of a house, a new kitchen, a replaced bathroom, a re-laid floor, or an extension. For a partial renovation we clean the area that was worked on and the route the builder’s crew used through the rest of the house, where fine dust usually settles. Tell us which rooms were touched and which were not, and we will price only what is needed rather than a whole house you do not need cleaned.
Dust travels farther than the work
Sanding, cutting and demolition leave fine dust that moves into rooms nobody worked in, onto shelves, window sills, curtain rails and the tops of doors. We remove construction dust and fine dust from these surfaces and wipe frames, doors, built-in cabinets and fixtures. We also clean windows, glass and sashes, and remove protective film, curing tape, stickers and labels from new fittings. Floors are swept, vacuumed and damp-mopped last, so that dust brought down from above is collected too.
Kitchen, bathroom and toilet replacements
New kitchens, bathrooms and toilets arrive wrapped in film and often carry fresh sealant at the joints. We peel the film and labels, clean the surfaces and fixtures, and wipe fresh silicone smudges from tile and glass with surface-safe methods. We do not repair a bead of sealant that the installer laid, and we do not remove cured paint or adhesive; if a mark looks permanent we tell you after inspecting it, not before.
Access, parking and the neighbours
Residential streets can be narrow, and parking near a house is not always available. Tell us where our crew may leave a vehicle, how we enter the house, whether shoes are removed indoors and whether the neighbours should be told. Setagaya is inside the 23 wards, so there is no travel charge. Pets, small children and anyone with allergies should be mentioned in your first message, so that we choose suitable products.
Landlords and low-rise apartments
Owners of low-rise apartment buildings often renovate a vacant unit between tenants. We clean the unit to the point where the agent can photograph it and the next resident can move in, and we can quote several units together. Because the owner may not be on site, the photo report and checklist are written so that someone who has not been there can follow them.
What we do not do and what we tell you
We do not strip wax or seal floors, use floor polishing machines, clean ducts, remove industrial waste, repair scratches or deal with biohazards. Light debris and offcuts are bagged for your builder’s own disposal. We do not promise to remove damage that is part of the surface, such as a scratched worktop or paint that has cured on timber. If we are unsure, we message you instead of guessing.
The quote, the visit and the follow-up
A renovation clean is quoted per project at a fixed price, from plans, the floor area, photos or a site look. We confirm by message before the visit, and the price does not change on the day. Standard visits are 9:00 to 17:00 and are done by one cleaner with a supervisor, or two cleaners with a supervisor. Cancellation under 24 hours before the visit is charged at 50%. A missed spot reported within 24 hours with a photo is cleaned again free.
Wooden floors and finishes: a gentle approach
Many Setagaya renovations end with new timber floors, which often arrive with a protective film or paper that has to come off before the family walks on them. We remove it, sweep and vacuum, and damp-mop with a method suited to the finish. We do not use floor polishing machines and we do not strip or seal floors. If the finish looks delicate, we tell you what we will use before we start.
Timber, plaster and paint dust
Different trades leave different dust. Cutting timber leaves fine sawdust in corners and on door tops, plastering leaves a pale film on sills and window glass, and paint leaves light splatter near edges. We remove these from surfaces and fixtures and wipe fresh splatter from glass, tile and fixtures with surface-safe methods. Cured paint on timber, or on any surface that was not protected, is not something we promise to remove.
Handover to the homeowner: what you receive
After the visit you receive a photo report and the completed checklist by message, grouped by room, so you can open the kitchen, the bathroom and the entrance and see what was done. If you are the builder, forward it to the owner. If you are the owner, keep it with your records. A missed spot reported within 24 hours with a photo is cleaned again at no extra cost.
