The contractors have packed up, but the unit is not ready. Fine cement and sanding dust sits on every ledge, inside cabinets, in window tracks and in aircon grilles, and there are paint spots and tape marks on new finishes. A post-renovation clean is the step between handover and moving in, whether that is a new HDB flat, a condo or an office that has just been fitted out.

Post-renovation cleaning cost in Singapore: the short answer
For homes, published 2026 prices mostly start at about S$300 for a unit under 500 sqft and rise with floor area: roughly S$350–480 for 501–1,000 sqft and S$450–650 for 1,001–1,400 sqft. Larger condos and landed homes run from about S$730 to S$1,650 or more.

Why prices differ for the same size
In the 1,001–1,300 sqft row, one company publishes a flat S$450 and another S$480–580. The gap usually comes down to scope and condition. A range lets the cleaner charge more for heavy cement residue, paint spots or a unit with many built-in cabinets. Helpling notes that additional charges may apply, and Sureclean lists internal fridge or oven cleaning as an extra S$30. Ask what is in the base price before comparing.
Time matters too. A small HDB flat is often done in one working day, while a large condo, landed home or office may take a full day with a bigger crew, or two sessions. Cleanoff, for example, notes that larger condominiums can run across a full day or occasionally two sessions. When you compare quotes, check how many cleaners will come and for how long, because a cheap quote with a small crew may not finish the job.
Post-renovation cleaning for offices, shops and F&B
Commercial spaces are usually quoted per project after a site visit or a look at photos and a floor plan, not from a rate card. Sureclean publishes S$650–2,000 for a commercial post-renovation clean and says renovation dust settles into ceiling grilles, cable trays, blind slats and carpet, so it often needs more than one pass. Commercial Cleaning Guide SG gives about S$0.25–0.50 per sqft as an indicative range.
- Access hours: building management may only allow work at night or on weekends, and lift or loading bay limits add crew hours.
- Handover deadline: a tight opening date may need a bigger crew on the same day.
- Second pass: after the defects walk, contractors often come back to fix items and leave more dust. Ask whether a follow-up clean is in the price.
- F&B kitchens: new stainless steel, hoods and tiled walls need extra detailing before the first service.
If you are budgeting for the whole project, see our office renovation cost guide. When you move out of a leased office at the end of the lease, the cleaning is usually part of the work covered in our office reinstatement cost guide. For regular cleaning once the office is open, see our guide to office cleaning companies.

What drives post-renovation cleaning cost
- Floor area: the main factor, and the basis of most published rate cards.
- How much debris is left: cement dust, paint drips, tile grout haze and adhesive take more time than light dust.
- Fittings and built-ins: more cabinets, glass panels, windows and light fittings mean more detail work.
- Whether the unit is empty: cleaning before furniture arrives is faster and lets the crew reach every surface.
- Timing: urgent, weekend or after-hours slots cost more, especially for offices and shops.
- Add-ons: appliance interiors, carpet, curtains or floor polishing are usually priced separately.
What is usually included, and what is not
A standard post-renovation clean usually covers dust removal from walls, ledges, doors and switches; cleaning inside and outside cabinets and wardrobes; window panes, grilles and tracks; kitchen and bathroom surfaces and fittings; and vacuuming and mopping floors. Check whether these are included:
- removing paint spots, cement stains and protective film or tape;
- cleaning inside the fridge or oven, which some companies charge extra for;
- aircon grille or duct cleaning, which is a different service (see our aircon servicing cost guide);
- disposal of renovation debris, which is usually the contractor’s job, not the cleaner’s;
- carpet shampooing, floor polishing or curtain cleaning;
- a follow-up visit after defects are fixed;
- GST, which may not be in the published price.
How to get an accurate quote
- Send the floor area, flat or unit type and photos of the worst areas on WhatsApp.
- Say whether the space is empty and when the renovation will be fully finished.
- For offices and shops, share the floor plan, building access hours and the handover date.
- Ask for a fixed, written price that lists what is included and what costs extra.
- Compare two or three quotes for the same scope.
Red flags
- A low phone quote that rises on site without a clear reason.
- No written scope, so you cannot tell what was skipped.
- Harsh scrubbing or acid cleaners used on new marble, vinyl or timber without asking.
- A large deposit before the crew arrives.
- Booking the clean before the contractor has finished, which means paying twice.
