How much mess will be made?
The amount of dust, waste material and spill will vary according to the work at hand.
We take great care to ensure that we cover all areas that our staff are working in with clean dust sheets or tarpaulins in order to protect the surfaces or items beneath.
During the course of the day, our staff will have multiple clean up stops as required to make sure they are working in a safe and clean environment.
At the end of each day, our staff will have a full clean up, ensuring all rubbish is removed, surfaces are cleaned and floors are hoovered and cleared of any spoil.
We will always check with the customer that they are happy with the condition of the room/area we have been working in before we leave site for the day.
