Garage floor swept properly - dust, leaves, debris cleared. Simple tidy-up service for when your garage needs cleaning but you can't or don't want to do it yourself.
Just Need It Swept
Sometimes you just need someone to sweep the damn garage. Maybe you're elderly and can't manage it. Maybe it's built up after building work. Maybe you've been meaning to do it for six months and haven't.
Floor swept clean, debris bagged and removed. Simple as that.
💡 Honest talk: This is literally just sweeping. Most people can do this themselves for free with a yard brush and 20 minutes. But if you need it done, I'll do it.
When This Service Makes Sense
| ✅ Good Reason To Book | ❌ Probably Not Worth It |
|---|---|
| After building/trade work | General household sweeping |
| You're elderly/can't do it physically | You just can't be bothered |
| Preparing house for sale | Regular maintenance |
| Years of buildup | Last week's dust |
Reality: Most people sweep their own garage. This is for specific situations where you genuinely need help.

🔧 DIY Tips
Sweeping a garage yourself is straightforward:
🔧 What you'll need
- Stiff yard brush (soft indoor brooms don't work on concrete)
- Dustpan or shovel
- Bin bags
- 20-30 minutes
📐 How to do it properly
- Move loose items - bikes, boxes, anything on the floor
- Start at back - work toward the door
- Sweep in sections - don't try to do it all at once
- Get in corners - that's where most dirt hides
- Bag it up - don't just sweep it outside (annoying for neighbors)
⚠️ Tips
- Do it regularly (monthly) and it stays manageable
- Dry day is better (wet leaves are harder to sweep)
- If there's loads of dust, dampen floor slightly (stops dust cloud)
- Concrete sheds dust forever - you'll never get it perfectly clean
💡 Pro trick: Keep a yard brush in your garage. Quick five-minute sweep after you've been working in there keeps it from building up. Do it before it becomes a massive job.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🔧 Combining services: If you're booking something else (shelving fitting, door repair, etc.), I can sweep while I'm there at the end for no extra charge. Makes sense to tidy up after myself anyway.
Not a deep clean: This is sweeping, not professional cleaning. If you want floors scrubbed, walls washed, etc., that's a different service (and more money).
Regular service: If you're elderly or have mobility issues and need regular garage sweeping, we can arrange a monthly or quarterly schedule. Discuss when booking.
Pressure washing: Some people think their garage needs sweeping when it actually needs pressure washing. Different job - removes ingrained dirt and stains that sweeping can't touch.
Oil stains: Sweeping won't remove oil stains from concrete. They're permanent unless you use degreaser (hard work) or paint over them (garage floor paint service).
After building work: If you've had work done and tradies have left dust everywhere, mention it when booking - might need more than just sweeping, might need cleaning properly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this service actually just sweeping?
Basically yeah. It's for people who physically can't sweep their garage themselves, or it's built up and needs a proper going-over. Not a service most people need regularly, but useful if you're elderly, preparing for a house sale, or after building work.
Do you take the rubbish away?
Sweepings yes (I'll bag it up). Actual rubbish like broken furniture or junk - that's the garage clear-out service, different job. This is literally just sweeping the floor clean.
Can you clean oil stains off the floor while you're there?
I can sweep them, but sweeping doesn't remove oil stains - they're soaked into concrete. For proper cleaning you'd need degreaser and scrubbing, which is more time/money. Or consider garage floor paint to seal it all.
How long does it take?
Single garage that just needs sweeping - 30-45 minutes. If there's loads of debris, might take up to an hour. It's not a complicated job, just time and effort.
Do I need to move stuff out first?
I can sweep around bikes, shelving, whatever's there. But if the floor's covered in boxes and junk, I can't sweep under it - you'd need to move stuff or book a garage clear-out instead.
