Case Study
New-Build Residential Development – Montrose
We supported a multi-plot residential development requiring phased builders and sparkle cleans ahead of scheduled handovers. Working to tight deadlines, we delivered structured cleans plot-by-plot, coordinated around ongoing snagging works, and ensured each unit met presentation standards before inspection.
The result: smooth handovers, fewer last-minute issues, and a reliable cleaning partner the site team could depend on.
Builders & sparkle FAQs
