From building dust to a home that sparkles again
We believe finishing a project should mean more than packing away the tools. Whether we have completed a kitchen, bathroom, extension, flooring project or a larger renovation, we can also help return your home to normal afterwards.
Calico provides post-project cleaning as well as regular domestic cleaning, with a friendly two-person team bringing their own equipment and cleaning materials.
The final part of the project
We always do our best to reduce dust while working in your home. Extraction, careful preparation, protection and dust suppression are used wherever practical.
However, larger building and renovation projects naturally create fine dust. Some of this can continue settling onto surfaces after work has been completed, particularly around skirting boards, doors, window sills, furniture and other horizontal surfaces.
Instead of spending your weekend cleaning after the builders have left, you can ask us to arrange a dedicated post-project clean.
A cleaner finish to your Calico project
Building work should not feel finished only because the last tool has left the house. We want you to be able to enjoy your new space rather than immediately reaching for the vacuum cleaner.
Our cleaning team can work through the home, removing remaining dust and helping bring everything back to a clean, comfortable and presentable condition.
Simple, straightforward cleaning services
Start with a one-off clean after your project or continue with a regular weekly service to help keep your home looking its best.

Tell us what matters this week
We do not believe regular cleaning needs to follow exactly the same rigid checklist every single week.
During a typical two-hour clean, the team can spend around an hour and a half working through the normal household cleaning routine, leaving part of the visit available for something you would particularly like prioritised.
Your priorities can change from one visit to the next.
This week, you might ask us to...
- Give the skirting boards extra attention
- Clean internal windows
- Spend additional time in the kitchen
- Deep-clean the bathroom
- Dust higher surfaces
- Wipe doors and frames
- Concentrate on a particular room
- Tackle an area that has been bothering you
Cleaning without the fuss
Tell us what you need
Let us know whether you require a post-project clean, a regular weekly service or something slightly more involved.
We arrive equipped
Our team brings the cleaning tools and materials needed, helping make the service simple and convenient.
Enjoy your home
We work through the agreed areas and priorities so you can spend more time enjoying your home and less time cleaning it.
Cleaning that works alongside our building services
Post-project cleaning can be added after many of the services we already provide throughout Hampshire.
Need the rubbish taken away too?
Cleaning is only one part of getting your property back to normal after building work.
Calico can also organise waste clearance, rubbish removal and skips, helping take care of both the building waste and the final clean-up.
One team, fewer things to organise
From arranging the building work, to clearing the waste and leaving the house clean, our aim is to make the whole process easier rather than handing you another list of jobs to organise yourself.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a post-project clean cost?
Our post-project cleaning service is charged at £40 per hour. The amount of time required will depend on the size of the property, the type of building work completed and the level of cleaning required.
How much does regular weekly cleaning cost?
Regular cleaning starts from £28 per hour with a minimum two-hour visit. For many average-sized homes, a two-hour regular clean is sufficient. Larger homes or more involved cleaning requirements can be quoted separately.
Do you bring your own cleaning products and equipment?
Yes. Our team can arrive with the cleaning equipment and materials required for the agreed work, so you do not need to supply everything yourself.
Can I ask you to concentrate on something different each week?
Yes. Regular cleaning does not have to be completely rigid. Once the normal cleaning duties have been covered, you can ask us to prioritise particular areas such as skirting boards, windows, doors, bathrooms, kitchens or another area of the home.
Do I have to have building work carried out by Calico first?
No. Although post-project cleaning works particularly well alongside our renovation and building services, you can contact us about cleaning after work completed by another contractor too.
Can you arrange waste clearance as well?
Yes. We can also help organise skips, rubbish removal and waste clearance. This can be combined with cleaning to help return your property to normal after larger projects.
