Construction dust is microscopically fine and clings to every horizontal surface, including the inside of light fittings and the tops of skirting boards. After-builders cleaning is a specialist three-pass process — gross debris, fine dust, then a polish-and-finish pass — to leave a refurb ready for handover or move-in.
