I have just completed a builders clean on a block of flats, to say the job was a nightmare is an understatment instead of a couple of days it took 12 was not happy at all even though we was on day rates.If ever you do this check first the state and plastics on the window ect.We worked nuts off to get this done as work was stacking up again.There are many things that can and will go wrong on builders cleans make sure the price is right or walk away.Ianp.s just because I like a challenge I have just taken on 2 more jobs a block of houses, then an estate (things I do to get big houses these days is mad).

We have most sites in our area and they pay more than that for sparkles! We have developed an understanding with most site managers we come in LAST. Usually they are pretty straight forward at most a bit of paint removal and the rest is pretty much a standard clean (although the build cleans are a different story - nightmare!). If they send someone in snagging after we have been in then tough. If they want us to come back then that is an extra simple as. We get a site instruction from the site manger requesting an extra clean and then they pay us for an extra clean. A few weeks of this and you will be amazed how the trades suddenly stop taking the mick and dropping crap over everything. A couple of extra cleans and a few counter charges from the developer to the companies concerned soon sorts em out.
WCE your dead right in what you say but. Does not always go to plan. The main problem at the moment with Wimpays is that the units they biuld are timber framed which means 9/10 the windows go in before any brick laying is done. I cannot tell you the meetings ive had with them regarding using better protection. Now where using the roll of protection which the stupid installers roll everywhere and is a sod to remove from the upvc frame. It gets to the point where you feel like jumping of the scaffold lol. Its taking me 2 days to do 28 windows on wimpey site this week.
