Keeping Your Home Clean During Renovations
Renovation projects can transform a property, but they also come with an unavoidable challenge: dust and debris.
Whether you are having a room painted, a new kitchen installed, or major building work carried out, dust can spread quickly throughout your home.
Without the right precautions, it can damage furniture, flooring, and soft furnishings, and create a stressful, messy environment to live in.
At Dare to Declutter, we not only specialise in decluttering and organising, but we also provide builders dust protection services in London.
Our goal is simple: protect your home and belongings before any work begins, so you can enjoy the benefits of your renovation without worrying about the aftermath.
Why Dust Protection Matters
Builders’ dust is more than just an inconvenience.
Fine particles can travel from one room to another, finding their way into fabrics, electronics, and even your heating or air circulation system.
This can cause:
- Damage to furniture and floors – scratches, staining, or discolouration.
- Health risks – dust can aggravate asthma, allergies, or respiratory conditions.
- Additional cleaning costs – post-work cleaning can take days without proper preparation.
By investing in dust protection services in London, you avoid these problems and ensure the work can be completed in a safe, controlled, and respectful environment.
Types of Protection Materials Available
Professional dust protection uses a range of specialist materials.
Each is designed for specific surfaces and scenarios, ensuring maximum protection throughout your property. Below are some of the most effective solutions:
1. Dust Sheets and Protective Films
- Polythene sheets: Lightweight and effective for covering large areas, furniture, and soft furnishings. These are ideal for painting and decoration dust protection during decorating work
- Adhesive carpet film: Clings securely to carpets to protect against dust, dirt, and paint spills.
- Hard floor protection film: Designed for wooden, laminate, or tiled floors without leaving residue.
2. Zipped Dust Doors and Temporary Partitions
- Create a sealed barrier between the work area and the rest of your home.
- Zipped doors allow easy access for workers while minimising dust escape.
3. Corrugated Plastic Sheets (Correx)
- Strong, durable sheets for protecting walls, stairs, and surfaces that may face heavy traffic.
- Ideal for commercial sites and domestic renovations alike.
4. Foam Edge Protectors and Corner Guards
- Essential for protecting delicate edges, banisters, or worktops.
- Prevent accidental chips, knocks, and scratches during building work.
5. Adhesive Window and Surface Protection
- Specialist films keep windows, worktops, and other surfaces safe from paint, plaster, or adhesives.
6. Zip Wall Systems
- A professional grade system that creates dust tight enclosures using extendable poles and polythene sheeting.
- Perfect for larger renovation projects.
By using the right combination of these materials, we ensure every corner of your property is safeguarded against dust and debris.
