Post-construction and post-renovation clean-up
When building or renovation work finishes, it leaves behind a particular kind of mess that normal cleaning won't shift: fine construction dust that settles into every surface, paint and adhesive splashes, grout haze, sticker and protective-film residue, and debris in places a routine clean never reaches. A proper post-construction clean is methodical and top-down:
- Debris and waste removal — clearing leftover building and demolition material.
- Full dust removal — vacuuming and wiping every surface, because fine dust resettles unless it's properly lifted rather than just disturbed.
- Paint, glue and sticker removal — taking splashes, adhesive and protective film off glass, tiles and fittings.
- Hard-to-reach and forgotten areas — above and inside cabinets, behind and under fittings, window frames, sills and tracks, skirtings and the tops of doors.
The goal is a home that's genuinely move-in ready, not one where dust keeps reappearing for weeks. This pairs naturally with our standard deep cleaning service for the regular cleans that follow.
Marble polishing and crystallisation
Marble and natural stone are everywhere in Dubai homes, and they can't be brought back with a mop — restoring a dull, scratched or stained marble floor is a machine process. Done properly it's a multi-stage job:
- Grinding — removing scratches, stains and lippage and levelling the surface with progressively finer diamond abrasives.
- Honing and polishing — refining the surface through the grits to develop clarity and shine.
- Crystallisation — a chemical-and-machine process that hardens the surface and lifts it to a deep, durable gloss.
- Sealing — protecting the finished stone against future staining and water ingress.
This is what restores original shine and elegance to a tired marble floor, and it's the right finish after construction dust and foot traffic have dulled it. For ongoing protection between polishes, see our marble sealing service.
High-level, façade and hard-to-reach cleaning
Some cleaning is specialised because of where it is, not just what it is. We handle high-level and hard-to-reach work that's beyond a standard clean — high glass, atrium and stairwell glazing, façade cleaning on glass and stone elevations, and the awkward high surfaces in double-height spaces. This work needs the right access and method to be done safely and effectively, and it's the kind of job a regular cleaning visit simply isn't equipped for.
Why specialised cleaning is a different trade
The gap between routine cleaning and specialised cleaning is real, and it's about equipment, method and surface knowledge. A maid service is built for regular upkeep — surfaces, floors, bathrooms — and does that well. But construction dust needs proper extraction and a top-down system or it just redistributes; marble needs diamond grinding and crystallisation machinery and an understanding of stone, or you risk damaging an expensive floor; and high-level work needs the right access and safety method. Using a general cleaner for these jobs tends to mean either a disappointing result or, worse, damage to a costly surface. Matching the right method and machine to each surface is the whole point of a specialised service, and it's why these jobs are quoted and carried out differently from a standard clean.
How special cleaning fits the rest of your home
Specialised cleaning usually bookends other work, so it connects across our services:
Indicative pricing
Specialised cleaning is priced per project because a post-construction clean, a marble-polishing job and high-level façade work are very different in equipment and time; marble polishing in particular is generally costed by area (per square metre). The figure depends on the surface, the area, its condition and the access required. These are indicative only; we provide a fixed quote after a free site visit, and all pricing is subject to +5% VAT.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't a normal cleaner handle post-construction cleaning?
Because construction dust and residue behave differently from everyday dirt. Fine building dust settles into every surface and, unless it's properly extracted and lifted top-down, ordinary cleaning just disturbs it so it resettles for weeks afterward. On top of that there's paint and adhesive to remove from glass and tiles, grout haze, protective-film residue, and debris in places a routine clean never reaches. A post-construction clean uses a methodical system and the right equipment to leave a home genuinely move-in ready, which is a different job from regular upkeep that a standard maid service isn't set up for.
How is marble polishing different from just cleaning the floor?
Cleaning removes surface dirt; polishing restores the stone itself. A dull, scratched or stained marble floor can't be brought back with a mop because the problem is in the surface of the stone, not on top of it. Restoration is a machine process: diamond grinding to remove scratches and level the surface, honing and polishing through finer grits to build clarity, crystallisation to harden the stone and lift it to a deep gloss, and sealing to protect it. It needs proper machinery and an understanding of natural stone, which is why it's a specialised treatment rather than part of a normal clean.
Do you remove paint, glue and stickers left after building work?
Yes, that's a core part of a post-construction clean. Building and renovation work routinely leaves paint splashes, adhesive residue, grout haze and protective film or stickers on glass, tiles, frames and fittings, and these need careful removal so they don't damage the surface underneath. We take them off methodically along with the full dust removal, including the hard-to-reach and forgotten areas like the tops of cabinets, window tracks and behind fittings, so the finished result is properly clean rather than superficially tidy.
Can you clean high glass, façades and hard-to-reach areas?
Yes. We handle high-level and hard-to-reach cleaning that's beyond a standard visit, including high and atrium glazing, stairwell and double-height glass, and façade cleaning on glass and stone elevations. This kind of work needs the right access and method to be carried out safely and effectively, which is exactly why a regular cleaning service isn't equipped for it. We assess the access required on the site visit and scope the job so it's done properly and safely rather than improvised.
How much does specialised cleaning cost in Dubai?
Specialised cleaning is priced per project because a post-construction clean, a marble-polishing job and high-level façade work differ greatly in equipment and time, and marble polishing in particular is usually costed by area, per square metre. The figure depends on the surface, the area involved, its condition and the access required, which is why we assess before quoting. These are indicative figures only; we provide a fixed quote after a free site visit, and all pricing is subject to +5% VAT.
