Post-construction cleaning in Olechów, Lodz

Olechów and Janów are the part of Lodz where most new flats are being built. A unit handed over by a developer looks clean until light falls across it at an angle; then you see gypsum dust on every plane, film on the window profiles and adhesive residue on the screed.

Before or after the handover

Almost every buyer asks this and the answer is clear: cleaning is done after the handover protocol is signed, not before. During the handover you are looking for defects, and a clean floor with washed windows tends to hide them rather than reveal them. Dust on a sill is not a defect of the unit, but a scratch on the glass hidden under dirt certainly is.

What the building crew leaves behind

• gypsum dust in every crevice, including sockets and grilles
• protective film on window and door profiles
• adhesive and mounting tape residue
• mortar on the sills and in the corners
• marks from work boots on the screed
• stickers and labels on the glass and on the appliances

What it costs

6 zł per square metre, with a minimum order of 200 zł. A fifty-metre flat is 300 zł. Windows with film and mortar are counted separately at 50 zł per sash; in new buildings there are also large balcony glazings with two and three sashes each.

Screed and flooring

In developer standard there is usually bare screed underfoot, and then there is no point protecting or polishing the floor: we collect the dust and wash the surface. If the flooring has already been laid by a fit-out crew, the situation is different: we do not remove adhesive from panels and parquet with caustic products, because they would destroy the surface along with the stain.

The order of work

From top to bottom and from the furthest room towards the exit, with the floor always last. A water-filter vacuum collects the dust before it can spread; working dry, the same layer comes back onto sills that have just been wiped.

Where we travel

Olechów, Janów, Widzew-Wschód, Zarzew and the new developments along Rokicińska. Travel is included in the price of the service. Please tell us whether the lift is already working in the building and whether there is access to water; in freshly completed developments this varies.

What we do not do

We do not remove rubble, cartons or packaging, we do not enter a construction site before the unit is handed over, we do not remove scratches from glass and we do not work at height outside the interior of the flat.

Frequently asked questions

Will you take the film off the windows?

Yes, that is part of the service. Film left in the sun for months can leave adhesive marks; we point that out before starting.

How long does it take?

A two-room flat takes six to eight hours, usually for two people.

Do water and electricity need to be on?

Yes, both have to be working in the unit.
