A Cologny renovation handed over without damage
In Cologny, renovation sites involve manor houses, villas along Route de la Capite and properties sloping down towards La Belotte and Port-Noir, where you find marble, limestone, oiled or waxed parquet, bespoke joinery and brass or bronze ironmongery. On surfaces like these, an over-aggressive product or the wrong rotary machine causes irreversible damage that no later cleaning can put right.
Our post-construction cleaning therefore starts by identifying every finish and running a test patch in a discreet spot before any cement veil is removed. We take out fine plaster dust, silicone and adhesive residue, protective films and paint splashes on frames and mouldings, then document the result in a photo report you can use at the réception de chantier (works acceptance) with the architect, the family office or the régie (property management company).

Custom quote — why there is no fixed rate — Post-Construction Cleaning in Cologny
On a post-construction site, the work is not defined by floor area but by what is left on the surfaces. Two flats of identical size take one day or three depending on whether you are dealing with plaster dust or hardened cement laitance. A per-m² rate quoted without a site visit is either a safety margin you pay for nothing, or a price revised upwards on the day.
What determines the price
- Type of residue: plaster dust, cement laitance, paint splashes, silicone, adhesives and labels
- Total floor area and number of levels involved
- Condition of glazing and frames: protective film, mastic marks, splashes
- Porous floors (polished concrete, natural stone, untreated parquet) requiring dedicated treatment
- Whether rubble, packaging and offcuts need removing
- Site access: floor level, lift availability, unloading space
- Deadline: handover within 24–48 h or a flexible schedule
Free, fixed quote within 2 h of a site visit or photos. The amount quoted is the amount invoiced: no extras discovered at the end of the job.

Frequently asked questions — Post-Construction Cleaning in Cologny
How do you protect marble and limestone when removing the cement veil?
We first run a test patch in a low-visibility spot, then use pH-neutral products only. Acid strippers, common on porcelain stoneware, are excluded on marble, limestone and travertine because they dull the surface irreversibly.
Can newly oiled or waxed parquet be cleaned without harming it?
Yes, with very little water, a flat mopping method and no film-forming or alkaline product. We match the method to the finish the joiner or floor layer applied, and confirm that detail before starting if it is not known.
The owner is abroad: how does the handover work?
We deal with the architect, the family office or the appointed régie. The final check produces a dated, room-by-room photo report that can be annexed to the procès-verbal de réception and approved remotely.
Do you always send the same people to the property?
Yes. We put together a named, fixed crew for the duration of the works, with one team leader. Gate codes and accesses are shared only with the people assigned to the site.
How do you handle long private drives and gardener access?
We note schedules and passages during the visit, protect drive edges, gravel and plantings, and park so that trades still on site are never blocked.
Are outbuildings such as the pool house or the boathouse included?
They are, as soon as they fall inside the scope of works: pool house, boathouse on the Port-Noir side, orangery, garden pavilion, pool surround and terraces. We list them by name in the quote so nothing is disputed at acceptance.
What happens to the fine dust inside ventilation grilles?
Grilles, extraction vents and duct surrounds are taken off where possible, vacuumed and then cleaned. This often-forgotten point is what explains dust coming back a few days after an ordinary clean.
Do you take care of sorting and removing site waste?
Yes. Packaging, protective films, offcuts and leftover rubble are sorted by material and taken to the déchetterie, with proof handed to your representative. Large volumes are quoted separately in CHF.
Can you work in a low-clearance underground car park?
Yes. We match vehicle and equipment to the available height and use the lift serving the basements. The clearance is measured during the technical visit.
Our post-works service in Cologny
We work across the whole of Cologny: the village and Place du Manoir, Chemin de Ruth, Route de la Capite, the surroundings of the Fondation Martin Bodmer and Villa Diodati, Chemin du Pré-Langard, the Parc des Ambassadeurs, La Belotte and the Vandoeuvres border, down to the Genève-Plage and Port-Noir side. Long private drives, coded gates, access shared with the gardeners and low-clearance underground parking are part of our usual constraints; we record them during the visit so nothing has to be improvised on the day.
Many owners are abroad while the works run and the handover goes through an architect, a family office or a régie. So we keep a single point of contact, the same crew members throughout and a dated photo état des lieux (handover inspection), so the works acceptance can be signed off remotely without back-and-forth.
