Silverdale house cleaning where the houses are new
Growing fast
Silverdale had 2,043 people in 636 dwellings at the 2023 Census, up 49.7% on 2018. Next door, Millwater went from farmland in 2005 to 7,947 residents in 2,382 dwellings by the same Census.
New houses, new dust
With growth like that, plenty of homes here are new or still being finished. Fine building dust keeps settling in tracks, cupboards and light fittings for a while after the trades leave.
Hibiscus and Bays Local Board
Silverdale is in Auckland Council's Hibiscus and Bays Local Board area and the Albany ward. It was called Wade, a corruption of Weiti, until it was renamed in 1911.
Busway and motorway
The Hibiscus Coast busway station, the northernmost stop on the Northern Busway, is a few hundred metres south-west of the village, and State Highway 1 runs just west on the Northern Motorway. If your street is so new the map doesn't show it yet, say so in the note.
New build or settled in: Silverdale house cleaners
Just got the keys to a new build? An after-builders clean if the builders have only just packed up, or a move-in clean if the place has simply sat empty and gathered dust. Settled in: a regular clean, weekly or fortnightly. Leaving a rental: the end of tenancy clean, aimed at the final inspection.
An after-builders clean starts once the builder has taken away rubbish and materials, so leftover offcuts and packaging go before the cleaner arrives.
Builders cleaning dust in new Silverdale homes
Dust from cutting concrete, tiles or stone can carry fine silica. WorkSafe New Zealand says to use an H-class vacuum for it, including in someone's home, and not a household vacuum. Never dry sweep it.
Our advice on cleaning services for a new Silverdale build
Wait until the last trade has been and the builder's rubbish is gone, then book. In a brand-new house, ask for the inside of every cupboard and drawer, the window tracks and the light fittings to be in the quote, and ask the business which vacuum they'll use on the dust.
