After Builders Cleaning Case Study

Dunnes Stores Beacon Court Cleaning

A Repeat Client, A Bigger Site, No Time to Waste

Kilrock Construction already knew what Hexaclean could deliver — after a clean at Cornelscourt, they came back for a much bigger job at Dunnes Stores’ new Beacon Court site, and this time the site was split across multiple zones running at once: two separate retail zones totalling roughly 970m², a full commercial kitchen and café/dining area, and staff locker rooms, toilets and corridors. Notice was tight throughout the project, and every session had to be finished before the store’s 10:00am public opening — which meant Hexaclean’s team was on site from 5:00am, working around builders who were still active in the same spaces. This is exactly the kind of large-scale, multi-zone after builders cleaning job Hexaclean is built for — not a single room on a single day, but an entire live retail site cleared, zone by zone, before the doors opened to the public.

The Challenges

A live fit-out with no room for delay.

Multiple work areas, active trades, sensitive finishes and a fixed public opening meant the cleaning programme had to adapt continuously.

01

Multiple Zones At Once

Two retail zones (~670m² and ~300m²), kitchen, café, dining area, locker rooms, toilets and corridors all required coverage in the same window.

02

Live Trades Throughout

Builders remained active in the same areas, meaning completed sections could be disturbed again as other contractors moved through.

03

Delicate Vinyl Flooring

Some flooring couldn't be machine-scrubbed without risking damage, forcing sections of the clean to be completed carefully by hand.

04

A Fixed Daily Deadline

Every session had to be completed before the 10:00am public opening, requiring the team to begin on site from 5:00am.

05

Short Notice Throughout

Scheduling shifted repeatedly, requiring fast mobilisation and tight turnarounds rather than long-lead bookings.

Delivery

What We Did

8 operatives worked the full site simultaneously rather than moving through it one area at a time, with every session run 5:00am to 10:00am — clearing ahead of both the builders arriving and the store's 10:00am public opening.

01

Zone 1 & Zone 2 — Retail Floor

The two largest zones, ~670m² and ~300m², cleared of construction dust, labels, paint and silicone residue across the full retail floor.

02

Kitchen, Reception & Café/Dining

A large commercial kitchen, reception area and café/dining space (~403m²) brought to a hygiene-ready standard — stainless steel polished, food prep surfaces detailed, dining area fully cleaned.

03

Locker Rooms, Toilets & Corridors

Ladies and Gents lockers and toilets, plus connecting corridors (~171m²), cleaned to the same standard as the public-facing areas.

04

Delicate Vinyl Flooring

Where machine-scrubbing risked damaging the material, sections were hand-scrubbed instead — slower, but the only way to protect the flooring while still meeting the standard required.

Every zone was treated as part of one coordinated job, not four separate cleans — timed and sequenced around where builders were working that day, so nothing finished was undone by another trade moving through afterward.

Real-Time Visibility, No Site Visit Required

Rather than asking the commercial manager to be on site to track progress, Hexaclean set up a live WhatsApp group for the job — photos of completed work shared in real time as each zone was finished, giving full visibility into what had actually been done without anyone needing to physically inspect the site. It also meant hours worked were justified as the job progressed, not disputed after the fact, and gave the client a direct line to flag anything or ask a question instantly rather than waiting for the next site visit.

This kind of running transparency matters most on exactly this type of job — multiple zones, live trades, and a client who can’t be everywhere at once. A photo record as the work happens is worth more than a single walkthrough at the end.

Why Trust Us

Hexaclean handles live, multi-zone sites as standard — Zone 1 and Zone 2, the kitchen and café, and the locker rooms all running at once rather than one space at a time. Delicate materials get treated with the same care Kilrock saw on the vinyl flooring, hand-finished rather than risked for speed, and manpower scales fast when notice is short — 8 operatives mobilised across this job with tight turnarounds throughout, not a fixed long-lead booking. Clients get real-time visibility without needing to be on site, through live photo updates rather than a single walkthrough at the end. And when a contractor comes back a second time with a bigger, harder job, that’s the actual proof the standard holds — which is exactly what happened after Cornelscourt.

A Bigger Job From a Trusted Client
Kilrock Construction had already seen what Hexaclean could deliver at Cornelscourt — this time, the job was Dunnes Stores' new site at Beacon Court, and it was on a different scale entirely.
Four Zones, One Deadline
Two retail zones, a full commercial kitchen and café, and staff locker rooms — all needing to be cleared in the same tight window, with builders still working the same spaces.
On Site Before Sunrise
Every shift ran 5:00am to 10:00am, clearing the site ahead of both the builders arriving and the store's public opening — 8 operatives working every zone at once.
Careful Where It Mattered
Delicate vinyl flooring couldn't be machine-scrubbed without risking damage — so parts of the job were done entirely by hand, protecting the material while still hitting the standard required.
Delivered, Trusted, Brought Back
The full site was ready ahead of opening, the client was satisfied at final walkthrough — and Kilrock brought Hexaclean back for further phases at Beacon Court.

Your Questions, Answered

Can you clean multiple zones or areas of a site at the same time?

Yes — on the Dunnes Stores Beacon Court job, Hexaclean ran two retail zones, a commercial kitchen and café, and staff locker rooms simultaneously with an 8-person team, rather than moving through the site one area at a time.

Yes — this includes stainless steel polishing, food prep surface detailing and full hygiene-standard cleaning, as delivered on the ~403m² kitchen, reception and café area at Beacon Court.

Yes — where machine-scrubbing risks damage to a delicate surface, sections are cleaned by hand instead. This was necessary on parts of the Dunnes Beacon Court site to protect the vinyl flooring while still meeting the required standard.

How fast can your team mobilise if we only have short notice?

Hexaclean scaled an 8-person team across the Beacon Court job on repeatedly shifting, short-notice scheduling — mobilising quickly rather than requiring a long lead-in booking.

Yes — shifts can be scheduled to finish before a store’s public opening. On the Dunnes Beacon Court job, every session ran 5:00am to 10:00am to clear the site ahead of the 10:00am opening.
