Moving out of a rental in Kensington (postcode 3031) 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 for end of lease cleaning Kensington, using what we state on our site.
Covering Kensington
Kensington is one of the 386 metro suburbs we service, in inner Melbourne. We are based in Bundoora, so bookings are made by phone on 0401 398 705 or through our free quote form.
The suburb has a mix of older houses, terraces and apartment buildings, with the train station and the Macaulay Road shops close to many rentals. Because so many rentals here are apartments, building access matters nearly as much as the clean itself. The same terms apply if you are on the Flemington or North Melbourne side of the boundary.
From quote to booking
- Call 0401 398 705. A phone quote usually takes under five minutes.
- Or send the quote form and we reply the same business day.
- You receive a firm price for the job, based on the property you describe.
- You book a date. This is usually within two to four business days, depending on the diary.
- You receive our 7-day re-clean guarantee in writing.
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 on your specific place. If you are collecting an end of lease cleaning quote Kensington agents will accept, ask each company what the figure includes before you compare totals.
What is included
Our bond cleaning is done to the REIV exit condition standard. Professional bond cleaners should be able to tell you in plain terms what that covers. Ours 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
Whether you call it vacate cleaning, exit cleaning, move out cleaning or end of tenancy cleaning, this is the work we mean.
Deciding what to bundle
Many leases require carpets to be professionally cleaned as well. End of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning Kensington is available as truck-mounted hot water extraction from $35 per room. This includes spot and stain treatment, and pet odour treatment is available. Carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours.
Windows are from $8 per window. If you want end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning Kensington, the oven is already part of the standard clean, and you add the windows and carpets you need. Tell us the room and window count when you call so the quote is accurate.
Picking a time
Availability depends on our diary, and we do not promise any particular day in advance. If you are searching for same day end of lease cleaning Kensington, last minute end of lease cleaning Kensington or weekend end of lease cleaning Kensington, the honest answer is to call 0401 398 705 as early as you can and ask what is open.
Booking before your final inspection date, and leaving a day of margin if possible, gives you room to fix anything that comes up.
Before the cleaner arrives
Apartment buildings often have their own rules, so sort these out early:
- Ask the building manager or owners corporation whether the lift needs to be booked for tradespeople, and for what hours.
- Confirm where a vehicle can park or load. Truck-mounted carpet equipment stays with the vehicle, so the route from there to your door matters.
- Arrange keys, fobs or entry codes, and tell us if anything needs a concierge.
- Remove your belongings. Cleaning is much easier in an empty property.
- Check that power and water are still connected.
After the clean
Walk through the property and compare it with your entry condition report. If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. This is the guarantee we put in writing.
Contact us promptly if the agent lists something, and send what they have written so we know what to look at.
About us
We are a Bundoora-based cleaning business servicing Melbourne metro suburbs. We keep our claims to what we can state plainly: the starting price, the inclusions, the REIV exit condition standard and the written re-clean guarantee.
What affects the price
The final quote depends on property size and condition. A one-bedroom apartment with a lightly used kitchen is a different job from a family house with a heavily used oven and several bathrooms. Add-ons such as carpets, windows and pet odour treatment change the total, and so does how many rooms and windows you have. Cheap end of lease cleaning Kensington listings can be tempting. Compare the inclusions, whether a guarantee is in writing, and the price per room for carpets, rather than the headline number alone. The same goes for anyone claiming the best end of lease cleaning Kensington: check what is actually covered.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Cleaning it yourself saves money if you have the time, a good oven cleaner and the means to rent carpet equipment. Booking makes sense if you are juggling work, moving trucks and handover dates, or if the oven and bathrooms need descaling work.
End of lease cleaners also help when a strict agent is inspecting. Be wary of any offer of bond back guarantee end of lease cleaning Kensington. Whether you get your bond back is the landlord’s and agent’s decision. What we guarantee is the 7-day re-clean.
A checklist to hand us
Have these ready when you call or fill in the form:
- Apartment or house, number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Number of carpeted rooms and number of windows
- Any pets, and whether odour treatment is needed
- Building access details, including lift booking and parking
- Your inspection or key return date
Keeping your paperwork
Keep your written guarantee, your quote and your payment confirmation together with your entry and exit condition reports. If the agent raises something later, you will have everything in one place. Photos taken after the clean and before you hand back the keys are also worth keeping.
