In Vilamoura the post-construction clean is almost always against the calendar: the work overran, the first booking is in the diary and the apartment has to be habitable before then. We are called in to close that gap, and we know there is no room for a second visit before the guests arrive.

Vilamoura is an intensive holiday-letting area, and that changes everything about how you work: here the jobs live around the booking calendar.
A resort planned around its marina, with gated developments, holiday apartments and golf villas, all a few minutes from the sea. Mostly apartments in managed developments and resort villas, many built between the nineties and 2010, with generous balconies, metal railings and direct exposure to salt-laden wind.
In Vilamoura we work mainly for holiday-let owners and management companies: deep changeover cleans, painting between seasons and quick repairs before the high season.
Between one set of guests checking out and the next checking in there is sometimes a single day. Working here means getting in, doing the job and getting out within that window, or a booking is lost — and the owner pays for it.
Being close to the sea corrodes balcony railings, ironmongery, gates and window frames far faster than inland. What lasts ten years in the barrocal needs attention here after three or four.
Permitted working hours, use of the service lift, façade colours agreed at the owners' meeting. Ignoring this means a fine for the owner and work stopped halfway through.
We look at which materials were used and what residue is left, because that determines the products to use.
Fine debris, protective coverings and anything removed by hand, so we are not spreading dust during the fine clean.
Removal of adhered residue, top to bottom, room by room.
Polishing of glass and surfaces, and a return visit a few days later for the dust that has settled since.
We work in Vilamoura regularly. We set out from Loulé and get there in about 20 minutes, which means we can come and look at the job without charging for the trip.
Between one set of guests checking out and the next checking in there is sometimes a single day. Working here means getting in, doing the job and getting out within that window, or a booking is lost — and the owner pays for it. It is the situation we come across most often in Vilamoura, and it is why we look at the job before quoting.
Because plaster dust stays suspended in the air and in the ducts for days. It is normal, and it is why we always include a second pass.
Yes, with diluted acidic product and neutralisation afterwards. What you cannot do is apply acid to limestone or marble — there we use a mechanical method, slower but safe.
We do, and it works out cheaper than hiring separately. When we carry out the refurbishment, the final clean is already in the quote.
Tell us what you need and we will come and look. We get there in about 20 minutes and the visit is free.
