What is included
Removal of cement film, grout haze, paint splashes and fine construction dust, so a new or renovated property is ready to live in. Builders' dust is not household dust. It is fine, alkaline and abrasive, it settles for days after the trades leave, and it scratches glass and stone if it is wiped dry. We remove it in the right order, with vacuum extraction first and wet cleaning second, and we treat cement, grout and paint residue with the correct remover for each surface.
- Crews sized to the handover programme
- Unit by unit checklist and sign off
- Common areas included
- Daily progress reporting
How it works
The same method on every job, so the result does not depend on who is on shift.
- Site visit and written quotation. A supervisor visits, measures and records every room, surface and extra. The written quotation that follows sets out the scope, with no hourly meter and nothing added on the day.
- Protect and prepare. Lifts, floors and furniture are protected and delicate finishes are logged on a surface register before any product is opened.
- Dry before wet, top before bottom. Dust is lifted with HEPA filtered vacuums from ceilings and fittings downwards. Each zone is then wet cleaned with chemistry matched to its finish.
- Detail work and floors. Tracks, switches, skirtings, handles and glass are finished by hand. Floors are machine scrubbed last so nothing is walked back in.
- Inspection and report. The supervisor signs all fourteen checks, photographs the result and sends you the report within the hour.

Developer Handover Cleaning in Al Maqtaa: what we plan for
Al Maqtaa and Bain Al Jessrain take their name from the stretch of mainland between the Maqta and Mussafah bridges, along Khor Al Maqta. Qaryat Al Beri holds the Shangri La Residences and The Souk, while the streets behind are lined with large private villas of four to seven bedrooms, many near embassies and government offices, alongside gated compounds such as Urban Oasis.
The creek and the mangroves keep humidity high along the shore, and waterfront homes see mineral spotting on glass and corrosion on metal railings. Further inland the villas collect sand from open plots, and the hard water scales heaters and shower glass. Villas here often have two majlis rooms, marble floors and heavy drapes. Marble is cleaned with a pH neutral product and microfibre, never acid, and drapes are vacuumed and steamed in place. In the waterfront residences, glass and frames are rinsed before cleaning to remove salt and mineral film.
Shangri La Residences need clearance through building management, with lift and loading bay times agreed. Private villas are reached directly, and compounds register the crew at the gate. Any outside work that needs consent is identified at the site visit.
What your quotation depends on

How long does developer handover cleaning take?
Typically agreed at the site visit and planned around your trading hours. The time for your property is confirmed with the quotation.
When should post construction cleaning be booked?
After all trades have finished, snagging is complete and the AC has been commissioned. If trades return after the clean, dust returns with them.
Do you remove paint and cement from glass and tiles?
Yes. Paint splashes, cement film, grout haze, silicone and adhesive are removed with blades, pads and removers selected for the surface so nothing is scratched or etched.
Does dust come back after the clean?
Fine dust keeps settling for a few days as the AC runs. We clean AC grilles during the visit and can schedule a short follow up dusting. For heavy dust we recommend AC duct cleaning before you move in.
