Moving out of a rental in Research (postcode 3095) 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, so you can plan your end of lease cleaning Research move with fewer surprises.
Covering Research
Research is in Melbourne’s north-east, within Nillumbik Shire, and it is one of the 386 metro suburbs we service. Housing is mostly detached homes on larger, leafy blocks, so house end of lease cleaning is the more common job here, although we also clean units and do apartment end of lease cleaning. Eltham and Diamond Creek are close by if you are moving between nearby suburbs.
We are based in Bundoora. You can book by phone on 0401 398 705 or send the free quote form. Whether you call it bond cleaning, vacate cleaning, exit cleaning or move out cleaning, the aim is the same: leave the property in the condition your agent will be checking against.
From quote to booking
- Call 0401 398 705. A phone quote usually takes under five minutes.
- Or send the free quote form and we reply the same business day.
- You receive a firm price for your property, so there is no guessing at the end.
- Book the clean. Bookings are usually made within two to four business days, depending on the diary.
- 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 fixed rate for every home. The final end of lease cleaning quote depends on property size and condition, so please call 0401 398 705 for a price on your place.
If you are comparing end of lease cleaning prices, or searching for cheap end of lease cleaning in Research, look past the headline number. Compare what each quote includes, whether the guarantee is in writing, and the price per room for carpets. Two quotes that look similar can cover quite different work.
What is included
Property managers usually walk through room by room with the entry condition report in hand. Our clean is done to the REIV exit condition standard and follows the same path:
- Kitchen: inside cupboards and drawers, oven, cooktop, range hood and dishwasher.
- Bedrooms and living areas: inside wardrobes, cupboards and drawers.
- Bathroom and laundry: descaling of fittings and surfaces.
- Windows: glass, tracks, sills and flyscreens.
- Garage: sweep and cobweb removal.
Ovens, shower screens, window tracks and range hoods are the spots agents tend to look at closely, because grease and scale build up there over a tenancy.
Deciding what to bundle
Many leases expect carpets to be professionally cleaned, so check yours and the entry condition report. End of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning is a common combination. Our 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.
The oven is already part of the main clean, so end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning does not need a separate oven booking. Window cleaning is available from $8 per window. When you call, ask how this applies to your home and we will confirm it in your quote.
Picking a time
Availability depends on the diary. We cannot promise same day end of lease cleaning, last minute end of lease cleaning or weekend end of lease cleaning in Research. If your key handover date is fixed, call 0401 398 705 as early as you can and we will tell you what the diary allows.
Work backwards from your final inspection. The clean should happen after your belongings are out, with carpets done once the rest of the clean is finished.
Before the cleaner arrives
- Remove all furniture, personal items and rubbish, including from cupboards, wardrobes and the garage.
- Leave power and water connected so appliances and fittings can be cleaned properly.
- Make sure the cleaners can get in, and tell us about any pets that lived there.
- Take down picture hooks and tape, and note any damage you know about so it is not mistaken for dirt.
After the clean
Do a walk-through before the inspection and take dated photos of each room. If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. That promise is in writing.
You may see offers of a bond back guarantee for end of lease cleaning. We do not promise a bond outcome, because that decision sits with your agent or landlord. What we guarantee is the 7-day re-clean.

Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Cleaning it yourself can work if you have time, the right products and a clear idea of the standard. The harder parts are usually the oven, range hood, descaling and tracks. End of tenancy cleaning also lands at a busy time, with packing, keys and utilities to sort out.
Booking professionals saves that effort and comes with a written re-clean guarantee. If you would rather not search for the best end of lease cleaning option on reputation alone, compare inclusions, the guarantee terms and price per room, then decide.
A checklist to hand us
Having these details ready makes the call quicker and the quote firmer:
- House or unit, and the number of bedrooms and bathrooms.
- Which rooms have carpet, and whether pets lived there.
- The number of windows, and whether there are flyscreens and tracks.
- Oven, range hood and dishwasher condition.
- Whether there is a garage, shed or balcony.
- Your key handover or inspection date.
Keeping your paperwork
Keep your quote, booking confirmation, receipt and written 7-day guarantee together with your entry and exit condition reports and your photos. If your agent raises a cleaning point, you can show exactly what was booked and when, then call 0401 398 705 within the 7 days.
