Builders cleans for Moruya new builds, renos and fit-outs
Moruya is a working town, and a fair bit of what gets built here isn't a knock-down rebuild on the beach. It's a shop fit-out on Vulcan Street, a consulting room or office near the hospital precinct, a granny flat out toward the river flats, or a reno on an older home in town. Capital Coastal Cleaning does the post-construction clean on all of it, the stage where the trades have finished and the place still has plaster dust on every ledge, paint flecks on the glass and silicone smears around the wet areas. We're a small, Indigenous-owned Batemans Bay team, Tyson, Shanice and Lisa, police-checked and fully insured, and we run down the highway to Moruya and out to Moruya Heads as one trip. We've been doing this since 2023 and we serve the whole Eurobodalla coast, from Durras in the north down to Moruya.
A builders clean isn't a regular house clean done harder. It's taking a site from broom-swept to handover-ready, and that's what we turn up to do. We bring our own gear, low-tox products and the patience the job needs, because a half-done builders clean shows up the moment the new owner runs a finger along a window track.
What the granite-country dust does to a Moruya site
The thing that catches a lot of builders out in Moruya is the dust. This is granite country on river flats, and that fine grit gets into everything on a site, then settles back down again an hour after you think you've finished. Plaster sanding dust mixes with it and you get a film that wipes back onto window tracks, skirtings and the tops of door frames as soon as the air moves. It's the same river-flat condition that has the floors and tracks on every Moruya job needing regular attention, only worse on a fresh build because the dust is everywhere at once.
So we don't do a single wipe-down and call it done. We work top to bottom, knock the dust off the high ledges, vacuum it up rather than chase it around with a cloth, then come back through the tracks and frames a second time once everything has settled. Window tracks and aluminium frames on a Moruya build need that extra pass, because the river-flat grit packs into the corners and a quick once-over leaves it sitting there for the new owner to find. We also get up onto the architraves, cornices and the tops of the cupboards, the spots a rushed clean skips, because that's exactly where the dust comes back from.
Glass, frames and finishes to a handover standard
On a new build or a reno the glass is usually the giveaway. Paint overspray, silicone fingerprints, plaster splatter and stickers left on the panes. We scrape and detail the glass both sides, clean the frames and the tracks, and pull the protective film and tape off the windows and fittings. Moruya gets enough westerly weather coming up the river valley that you want the glass actually clean at handover, not just smeared clear enough to look alright on a still day. Sandy feet and the salt that drifts in off the coast are hard on glass once a place is lived in, so it pays to hand it over spotless.
We work through the silicone and grout in the new bathrooms and kitchen, pull the building muck out of the new sinks and basins, wipe down the inside of every cupboard and drawer, and clean the new appliances inside and out. Light fittings, switches, power points, vents and the tops of the doors all get done. Skirting boards, door frames, handles and the laundry get the same going-over. The job is finished when the place is ready to be photographed or handed straight to the owner, not when we've run out of time.
Shop and office fit-outs near Vulcan Street and the hospital precinct
Commercial work is a bigger part of what we do in Moruya than further up the coast, because the main-street businesses around Vulcan Street and the offices near the hospital precinct mean there are always fit-outs going on. A retail or office fit-out clean has its own rhythm. It often needs to be done after hours or over a weekend so the business can open clean on the Monday, and the Saturday markets crowd in the centre of town means a shopfront needs to look sharp the moment the doors open.
We can stage the clean around your handover or opening date, do the rough clean while the last trades are still finishing, then come back for the detail and final clean once the site is clear. Floors, glass shopfronts, joinery, fixtures, wet areas and the back-of-house all get the same handover-standard finish a home would. We work in around your other trades and your trading hours so the fit-out clean doesn't cost you a day you can't afford to lose, and we're open seven days if the only window you've is a weekend.
Rough, detail and final, timed to your handover date
A proper builders clean runs in stages and we book it that way. The rough clean clears the bulk of the rubble dust, stickers and debris so other trades can keep working. The detail clean is the slow, careful pass, glass, frames, tracks, wet areas, joinery and all the fiddly bits. The final clean is the day-of-handover going-over that deals with the fresh dust that always reappears between the detail clean and the keys changing hands.
Tell us the handover or settlement date and we work back from it. We know the run to Moruya and out to the Heads, so we plan the trip down and the access around your other trades rather than turning up and getting in the way. If the date shifts, as building dates do, we shuffle with you instead of charging you for the trouble.
For a quote or to lock in a handover date, call us on 0479 184 498. We're open seven days, we use low-tox products, and we hold a 5.0 rating from 110 Google reviews across the Eurobodalla.
Builders cleans, end of lease and the busy Moruya rental market
Plenty of Moruya builds aren't for the owner to move into, they're investment and rental stock for a local market that keeps our bond cleans steady. If a new build or a renovated place is about to go on the rental, we can take it from builders clean straight through to rent-ready, and if it's an exit clean you need instead, that's done to the agent standard, the REINSW exit standard, with our bond-back guarantee, a free re-clean within seventy-two hours if the agent flags the cleaning. A builders clean and a bond clean are different jobs, and we'll tell you straight which one your place actually needs rather than charging you for both. The same goes for a holiday let or Airbnb getting its first changeover after a reno, we can set it up clean and ready for guests.
