Moving out of a rental in Chelsea Heights (postcode 3196) comes down to a few practical questions: what does the clean cost, what does it cover, how quickly can it be booked, and what happens if the agent is not satisfied? This page answers each of them using what we state on our site. If you are arranging end of lease cleaning Chelsea Heights tenants can rely on for the final inspection, the sections below set out the process in order.
Covering Chelsea Heights
Chelsea Heights is one of the 386 metro suburbs we service, in Melbourne’s south-east region. We are based in Bundoora and travel to you, and you can book by phone or through the quote form.
The suburb is mostly residential. Detached houses make up much of it, with some units and townhouses mixed in. Neighbouring Chelsea has a station on the Frankston line, and Edithvale is also close by. That matters if you are juggling keys, removalists and an inspection time. Both house end of lease cleaning and apartment end of lease cleaning are part of what we do, and the same exit standard applies to each.
From quote to booking
The process is short. Here is how it runs:
- Call 0401 398 705. Quotes over the phone usually take under five minutes.
- Or send the free quote form. We reply the same business day.
- You receive a firm price, so you know the figure before you commit.
- Booking is usually within two to four business days of the quote.
- Your clean comes with a 7-day re-clean guarantee in writing.
An end of lease cleaning quote is easiest to give when you tell us the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, whether it is a house or apartment, and the condition of the oven and carpets.
What the price starts from
Bond & End of Lease Cleaning starts from $280. That is a starting point, not a flat rate for every property, so call for a price based on your place. When people search for end of lease cleaning prices, they often find a wide spread of figures that are hard to compare. A starting price only means something when you know what sits behind it, which is why the next section lists inclusions in full.
What is included
Our vacate cleaning is carried out to the REIV exit condition standard, which is the benchmark most agents inspect against. The clean covers:
- Inside cupboards, drawers and wardrobes
- Oven, cooktop and range hood
- Dishwasher
- Bathroom and laundry descaling
- Windows, tracks, sills and flyscreens
- Garage sweep and cobweb removal
Older homes tend to test the window and bathroom items most. Timber sills, deep window tracks, and tiles that have collected years of limescale all take longer than a newer fit-out. If you are leaving a home with original features, mention them when you call so they are considered in the quote.
Deciding what to bundle
Most agents look at carpets and glass closely, so many tenants add them. Carpet steam cleaning uses truck-mounted hot water extraction and starts from $35 per room. It includes spot and stain treatment, and pet odour treatment is available. Carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours. Window cleaning starts from $8 per window.
Asking for end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning, or end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning, keeps everything under one booking and one written guarantee. Check on your quote exactly how windows are being handled, so nothing is assumed.
Picking a time
Availability depends on the diary. Many tenants ask about same day end of lease cleaning, last minute end of lease cleaning or weekend end of lease cleaning, and we cannot promise any of them in advance. If your lease ends soon, call 0401 398 705 early, tell us your key return date, and we will tell you what the diary allows.
The ideal slot is after your furniture is out and before the final inspection, with a little room in between. That gap lets you deal with any follow-up without a scramble.
Before the cleaner arrives
A few small jobs on your side make the clean more effective:
- Remove all belongings, rubbish and food from cupboards, the fridge and the garage.
- Make sure power and water are still connected.
- Leave access to every room, including the laundry and any storage areas.
- Note any damage that is not dirt, such as paint chips or worn timber, and keep photos.
In an older home, avoid heavy scrubbing on flaking paint or aged finishes before we arrive. Cleaning removes dirt, but it does not repair wear, and aggressive scrubbing can make marks worse.
After the clean
Once the work is done, walk through the property if you can, or look at your own photos. If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. That promise is given in writing.
You will see “bond back guarantee end of lease cleaning” advertised in the industry. We do not guarantee a bond outcome, because deductions can relate to things outside cleaning, such as damage or unpaid rent. The guarantee we give is the 7-day re-clean, and it is specific and easy to hold us to.
About us
Australia Bond Cleaning is a Melbourne cleaning business based in Bundoora, servicing metro suburbs including Chelsea Heights. We focus on bond, vacate and exit cleaning for tenants, along with carpet steam cleaning and window cleaning. When you are comparing professional bond cleaners, look for a written guarantee, a defined list of inclusions and a price you can verify. We aim to give you all three.
What affects the price
The final quote depends on property size and condition. Specifically:
- The number of bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas
- Whether it is a house, unit or apartment
- The state of the oven, range hood and bathroom limescale
- The number of carpeted rooms and the number of windows
- Extras such as pet odour treatment
Older houses can take longer where there are many windows, built-up grime or heavily marked tiles. A short call usually settles the figure.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Cleaning it yourself saves money, but the REIV exit standard is thorough, and ovens, descaling and window tracks take time and the right products. If you have a full moving schedule, booking move out cleaning or end of tenancy cleaning can free that time.
People often search for cheap end of lease cleaning or best end of lease cleaning. We do not describe ourselves with either phrase. Compare what each quote includes, whether the guarantee is in writing, and the price per room for carpets. Those details tell you more than a label does.
A checklist to hand us
When you call or fill in the form, have these details ready:
- Your address in Chelsea Heights and the property type
- Bedrooms, bathrooms and number of carpeted rooms
- Approximate number of windows
- Your key return date and inspection time, if known
- Any pets, heavy stains or older features such as timber sills or original tiles
With this, an accurate figure is straightforward.
Keeping your paperwork
Keep your quote, booking confirmation and written guarantee together with your entry and exit condition reports. Take dated photos of each room after cleaning. If the property manager raises a cleaning point, send it to us promptly, as the guarantee covers issues raised within 7 days. Good records also help if any part of the bond is disputed later.
