A site handed over clean between two tenancies
In Eaux-Vives, most works happen in a dense pre-1940 building stock: high ceilings, stucco mouldings, old parquet and timber windows with glazing bars. From the bas de la Rue du Rhône up to Rue de la Terrassière, taking in Rue des Eaux-Vives and Place des Eaux-Vives, renovations are run by the régie (property management company) between two leases, with a tight deadline before the état des lieux (handover inspection). Fine plaster and cement dust lodges in the grooves of the mouldings, the ventilation grilles, the parquet joints and the window hinges: sweeping does not remove it, and it comes back over the following days.
Our post-construction cleaning in Eaux-Vives treats each surface on its own terms: top-down dusting with fine-filtration vacuuming, protective film removal, silicone and adhesive residue lifted off, paint and plaster spots taken off frames and mouldings, and the cement veil removed from new tiling. We use non-aggressive products on natural stone, oiled parquet and brass fittings, and we protect the stairwell and the lift for the duration of the job. The property is handed back ready for the réception de chantier (works acceptance) and for signing the procès-verbal de réception (acceptance report).

Custom quote — why there is no fixed rate — Post-Construction Cleaning in Eaux-Vives
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 Eaux-Vives
How do you handle parking, with no loading bay in the district?
We load for a short unloading window: everything goes up in a single run, then the van moves to a blue-zone space or a paid car park. If the régie can obtain a temporary parking permit, we adjust the timing to match it.
The building has no lift, or only a small cabin. Is that a problem?
No. Our teams work with machines and containers that can be hand-carried up an old staircase. We protect the treads, handrail and landings before carrying anything up, and clean those areas at the end of the job.
Are the stucco mouldings and high ceilings covered?
Yes. Cornices, ceiling roses and moulding grooves are vacuumed using extension poles and soft heads, without wetting the stucco or loading the paint. Filler splashes are removed spot by spot, dry or barely damp.
My parquet is oiled. Which products do you use?
No alkaline detergent and no standing water. We vacuum the joints first, then clean with controlled moisture using a neutral product suited to oiled parquet. Re-oiling, if it is needed, stays with the flooring specialist.
Can you work overnight or early morning for an arcade on Terrassière?
Yes. For shops refitted outside opening hours, we schedule the clean in the evening, overnight or on a Sunday so the sales floor is clean and usable when the doors reopen.
What happens to the site waste left behind?
We sort cardboard, films, packaging and small offcuts, then take them to the déchetterie (recycling centre) through the Geneva channels. Large volumes, rubble or dismantled elements appear as a separate line in the quote.
Is cleaning enough for the works acceptance and the handover inspection?
Our service covers the cleanliness expected at acceptance: dust-free surfaces, residue removed, glazing and sanitary ware clean. Finishing defects recorded in the procès-verbal de réception are for the trades concerned, and we flag them in writing if we spot them.
Do you need water and power on site?
Yes, a working water point and power supply make the job easier and shorter. If the connections are not live yet, tell us at the quote stage: we come with water reserves and our own power arrangement.
Our after-works service in Eaux-Vives
We cover the whole district: period flats on Rue des Eaux-Vives and Rue de la Terrassière, narrow buildings with no courtyard and no loading bay at the bas de la Rue du Rhône, the grander addresses along Quai Gustave-Ador, the quieter streets near Parc La Grange and Parc des Eaux-Vives, and the side streets over towards the Village des Nations. The constraint is nearly always the same: no unloading zone, blue-zone or paid parking, a small lift or none at all, and an old staircase that has to be protected before any equipment goes up.
We also work on the arcades and boutiques along Rue de la Terrassière, often refitted overnight to reopen in the morning, on the halls and ancillary spaces around the Nouvelle Comédie, and on the new flats and offices in the gare des Eaux-Vives development, served by the Léman Express. On new-build work the issues are protective film, cement veil and adhesives; in period stock it is dust ground into stucco, parquet and joinery. Either way we coordinate with the trades and the régie so the property is ready on the acceptance date.
