After-builders and post-construction window cleaning in Malta
New glass after building or renovation work is often covered in cement splashes, paint spots, plaster dust and silicone smears. We remove them safely, without scratching the glass, so new windows end up as clear as they should be.
Also called post-construction window cleaning, builders clean windows, cement removal from glass, new glass cleaning.

Who books it
Why new glass needs a different clean
Building work leaves more than dust on glass. Cement and grout splashes, plaster, paint overspray and silicone all bond to the surface, and wiping them with a dry cloth or scraping them off carelessly leaves permanent scratches.
The marks are softened and lifted with the right solutions and a blade used correctly on wet glass, then the glass is rinsed and finished so it dries clear. Frames, tracks and sills are cleaned of the fine dust that building work leaves everywhere.
When to book an after-builders clean
The best time is once the dusty work is finished but before you move furniture in or hold viewings. On a renovation, it is usually the last job before handover.
If painting or plastering is still to come, it is worth waiting, because fresh work will mark the glass again.

Will removing cement and paint scratch the glass?
Not when it is done properly. Splashes are softened and lifted with the right solutions and a blade used at the correct angle on wet glass, not scraped off dry. Toughened and coated glass is treated with extra care.
Can you remove silicone and sealant smears?
Yes. Silicone residue and sealant smears are among the most common marks on new glass, and they are removed as part of the clean.
Should we book before or after moving in?
Before, ideally, once the dusty and messy work is finished. That way the glass is clear for viewings or for moving in, and there is no furniture in the way.
Do you clean the frames and tracks too?
Yes. Aluminium frames, sliding tracks and sills collect fine building dust, and these are cleaned along with the glass. Tell us if the tracks are badly clogged.
