End of works cleaning in Paris: the finishing touch of a successful renovation
End of works cleaning in Paris is the final stage of a quality renovation. After weeks of work — masonry, plastering, painting, floor laying, joinery — your apartment is full of fine dust, adhesive residues, plaster chips and traces invisible to the naked eye that dull the finishes. Thorough professional cleaning transforms a completed building site into a home ready to live in.
Wild Rénovation systematically includes end of works cleaning in our turnkey renovation services. Our specialist teams work with protocols adapted to each material — marble, polished concrete, parquet, lacquered joinery, glazing — to guarantee an impeccable handover that meets the standards of Parisian luxury.
"The perfection of a renovation is measured at the moment of handover. Every surface must be impeccable, every detail enhanced."
The stages of professional end of works cleaning
Removal and initial dusting
The first phase involves removing all remaining construction waste: packaging, material offcuts, floor protections. All surfaces are then meticulously dusted — ceilings, walls, cornices, skirting boards, door and window frames. Plaster dust, which is particularly fine and volatile, requires specific treatment with HEPA-filtered vacuums to prevent redeposition.
Cleaning joinery and woodwork
Bespoke joinery — bookcases, wardrobes, doors, wall panelling — receives cleaning adapted to its finish. Lacquered surfaces are treated with anti-static products that repel dust. Oiled or waxed wood is cleaned then nourished to reveal its natural lustre. Every hinge, handle and lock is checked and cleaned.
Floor treatment
Floor cleaning is adapted to the type of covering: vacuuming then damp mopping for parquet (with a product compatible with the oil or varnish finish), cleaning with neutral soap for marble and natural stone, specific treatment for polished concrete which tolerates neither acids nor solvents. Each floor is inspected under raking light to detect and eliminate the last traces.
Windows, mirrors and glazed surfaces
Interior and exterior glazing, mirrors, shower screens and glass partitions are cleaned on both sides with streak-free products. New silicone joints are checked and wiped. Haussmann-era timber windows receive particular attention: cleaning of rebates, verification of espagnolette bolts and seals.
Sanitary fittings and equipment
Tapware — whether Gessi, Dornbracht or other — is freed of any limescale traces or construction residues. Basins, bathtubs, shower trays and WCs are cleaned with non-abrasive products that preserve surface treatments. Every drain is checked and cleaned to ensure perfect operation from the day of move-in.

Quality control before handover
At Wild Rénovation, end of works cleaning is accompanied by a systematic quality inspection. Each room is inspected point by point: surface condition, equipment operation, cleanliness of finishes, absence of visual defects. This inspection takes place under both natural and artificial light, from different angles, to guarantee a flawless result.
Any necessary paint touch-ups, micro-scratches on joinery or residual marks are dealt with on site before the final walkthrough with the client. The objective is simple: your apartment should be ready to be furnished and lived in immediately, without any further action on your part.
Why end of works cleaning is essential in a luxury renovation
In a high-end renovation in Paris, every detail matters. Calacatta marble dulled by construction dust, Gessi tapware stained with plaster residue or herringbone parquet veiled by a film of debris — these imperfections undermine months of work and exceptional materials. Professional end of works cleaning is not simply cleaning: it is the revelation of every finish, unveiling your interior in its full splendour.
Wild Rénovation, as a general contractor for luxury renovation in Paris, considers this stage an integral part of the service. A project is not handed over with dust: it is handed over with the excellence our clients expect, from the first hammer blow to the final wipe of the cloth.
