Builders cleans on the north side of the bay
Maloneys Beach is a small, quiet beach community, and the building work that goes on here tends to match it. We aren't talking about big subdivisions and rows of project homes. It's mostly one block at a time, a knock-down rebuild on a sandy lot, a second storey added to an old beach shack, or a tired holiday house gutted and refitted so the owners can let it out. When the trades finish, someone has to turn that building site back into a home, and that's the part we handle.
A builders clean is the last job before a place is handed over, lived in or photographed for a rental listing. It means getting the construction dust off every surface, scraping paint and silicone off the glass, clearing plaster splatter and sawdust out of every track and corner, and leaving the whole place ready to walk into. In a tucked-away pocket like Maloneys Beach, where there's no big trade base around the corner, having a local crew who can get here quickly to do that final clean makes the difference between a build that finishes on time and one that drags.
Sand and salt make the dust worse here
Building dust is bad enough on its own. On a sandy, salty block at Maloneys Beach it's worse. The fine concrete and plaster dust settles, and then the salt air and the sand that blows in off the beach mix straight through it. You end up with a gritty film on the new windows and a haze on the freshly painted walls that an ordinary wipe just smears around. We see it on nearly every site this close to the water.
That's why we do the glass properly rather than giving it a quick once over. New windows and shower screens get the silicone beads and paint flecks picked off first, then a proper clean so the salt and dust film comes off and doesn't come straight back. The same goes for the floors. Fresh tiles, new floorboards and new carpet all hold building grit, and on a beach home that grit has sand mixed through it, so we vacuum hard and detail the edges and the door tracks where it all collects.
Getting a holiday let ready to list
A lot of the building work at Maloneys Beach is owners doing up a place so it can earn its keep as a holiday let through the warmer months. A reno is no good as a short stay if there's still grout haze on the splashback and plaster dust in the wardrobe when the first guests turn up. The handover clean and the get-it-guest-ready clean are really the same job for these owners, so that's how we treat it.
We finish the build clean to the point where the place could be photographed and listed the same week. That means the kitchen and bathrooms are fully detailed, the new appliances have their stickers and protective film peeled off and wiped down, the windows are clear so the light and the beach come through in the photos, and there's no trace of the trades left in the cupboards or the laundry. If you want, we can roll straight into the changeover side of things once the place is up and running, since holiday turnovers through here are a regular part of our week.
Rough, detail and final to a handover date
We work a build clean in stages so it lines up with how the job actually runs. The rough clean happens once the trades are mostly out, clearing the bulk of the rubble, dust and offcuts so the place is safe and workable. The detail clean is the careful pass, glass, frames, tracks, skirting, the tops of doors, switch plates, the spots that hold dust you don't notice until the light hits them. The final clean is the day before handover, the fresh once over that gets it spotless for the keys to change hands or the photographer to arrive.
Maloneys Beach is an easy run from our base in Batemans Bay, just over the north side of the bay, so hitting a fixed handover date is straightforward for us. If the date moves, which it usually does on a build, we're close enough to move with it without it blowing out your timeline. You tell us the handover day and we work backwards from it.
A local crew, low-tox products, fully insured
Capital Coastal Cleaning is an Indigenous-owned local business, started in 2023 by the owner Tyson, and run by a small team, Tyson, Shanice and Lisa. You get the same faces on your build, not a different subbie each visit, which matters on a site where you want people who know what they're doing around new finishes. We're police-checked and fully insured, and we use low-tox products, which is worth knowing on a fresh build where new paint, sealants and finishes are already off-gassing without us adding harsh chemicals on top.
We're open seven days, which suits builds that finish on a Friday for a weekend handover or a quiet, near-empty community like Maloneys Beach where the owner might only be down on the weekend to take the keys. We hold a 5.0 rating from 110 Google reviews across the Eurobodalla coast, and we'd rather earn the next one than coast on it. If you want to talk through a build clean here, call us on 0479 184 498.
