The post-build job that lands mid-season

Ayia Napa does not stop letting to fix things. A leak gets patched between groups, a Nissi flat gets a fresh bathroom the week before August, a Fig Tree Bay unit is refitted while the booking calendar keeps running. The trades leave, the dust stays, and the keys are already promised to the next guest. That dust is not ordinary house dust. It is plaster, joint compound and fine cement, and it resettles for days inside extractor grilles, along sliding-door tracks, and across the floor that just got laid. A guest turnover will not shift it. This is the clean that runs between the final inspection and the moment the keys move — and because the season never pauses, we run it across Nissi, Protaras, Fig Tree Bay and Pernera through the whole summer.

What a finish-clean covers on a coastal refit

On a refit near the sea the scope is broader than a turnover, and it is shaped by what the builders left behind rather than by a fixed checklist. We chase adhesive residue off new glass and tiles, lift the white film from freshly-grouted floors, clear dust from inside light fittings, and wipe down window channels where salt and cement mix into a grey paste. The worktops and vanity tops fitted last get the same careful pass as the floors fitted first. Nothing gets a quick going-over. The aim is a unit that reads as brand new — not one that reads as just cleaned.

Protecting Nissi glass and new finishes from the coast

The real risk on a post-build clean is not leaving dust behind. It is marking the finish while you take the dust off. New frameless shower screens, sea-view windows and balcony doors on the Nissi front scratch if you look at them wrong, and the salt air means every surface is already slightly abrasive. So we work backwards from the finish. Before any dust is lifted we cover completed marble, stone and timber. Treated tapware and black-anodised fittings get soft cloths only. New glass gets non-scratch method, never a scourer. The brief stays the same whatever the unit: leave every surface exactly as the contractor signed it off, minus the dust.

Quoting a mid-season refit when you are not on the island

Most Ayia Napa owners we work with are not here in summer. They are managing the refit from abroad and need a number they can trust without flying out. For a straightforward finish-clean, photos and a short video walkthrough on WhatsApp are often enough to quote — we tell you straight if they are. For anything where salt air has got at a refit, or where dust has blown through ducting, we prefer to walk the unit first. You get a real number, we get a real plan, and nothing gets rushed to hit a check-in booked before the builders finished. Same-day cover on request when our diary allows, but a finish-clean is the one job we will not hurry — a scratched surface costs more than the clean.

Multi-unit runs along the Cape Greco stretch

A fair share of this work is not one flat. It is a block. A landlord finishing three Nissi units at once, a developer handing over a row of Protaras apartments, an operator fitting out serviced studios between Pernera and Fig Tree Bay. We quote each unit on its own — never a blunt block rate that hides the hardest flat — and run them in sequence so a finished surface is not left gathering dust. When a unit is done, its photo set lands in your WhatsApp thread behind its own front door, so you have a handover record per property.

What it costs and when to get us in

Post-construction cleans are priced from what we see, never off a rate card. As a floor, small apartments usually start from about €45 for a standard clean; a finish-clean after the builders is a separate, higher price and we name the exact figure once we have walked the site or watched your video. The number moves with size, how much sea-view glass there is, and how tight the access is. Get us in early — the day after the last trade leaves is ideal, because salt air bakes dust deeper into tracks and grilles the longer it sits.
