Moving out of a rental in Sandhurst (postcode 3977) comes down to a few practical questions: what does the end of lease cleaning Sandhurst agents expect 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.
Covering Sandhurst
Sandhurst is one of the 386 metro suburbs we service, in Melbourne’s south-east. We are based in Bundoora and travel to you. You can book by phone or through the quote form.
The housing in Sandhurst is mostly detached, so house end of lease cleaning is what most tenants here will be dealing with. If you are in an apartment or unit, apartment end of lease cleaning is quoted the same way.
This page is written for one situation in particular: a family leaving a larger rental house. You might be downsizing, relocating or buying your own place. A house with four bedrooms, two living areas and a double garage has more rooms and more corners for an agent to inspect. If you are moving to or from nearby Carrum Downs or Cranbourne, the same process applies.
From quote to booking
Whether you call it bond cleaning, vacate cleaning or exit cleaning, the steps are the same:
- Call 0401 398 705. A quote over the phone usually takes under five minutes.
- Or fill in the free quote form and we reply the same business day.
- You receive a firm price for your property, based on what you tell us about its size and condition.
- You book a time. Bookings are usually made within two to four business days, depending on the diary.
- The clean is backed by our 7-day re-clean guarantee, which we give you in writing.
An end of lease cleaning quote is easier to give accurately when you can describe the house, so have the details from the checklist further down this page ready.
What the price starts from
Our Bond & End of Lease Cleaning starts from $280. That is a starting point, not a flat rate for every property. A larger family home will usually cost more than the starting price, so call for a price based on your actual house.
If you are comparing end of lease cleaning prices, look past the headline number. Ask each business what is included, whether the guarantee is in writing and how carpets are priced per room. That tells you far more than a single figure does.
What is included
Our cleaning is done to the REIV exit condition standard. For a family house, that 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
The inside of kitchen and bedroom storage is where many agents look first, and in a larger home there is simply more of it. Professional bond cleaners work through these areas room by room so nothing is left until the last minute.
Deciding what to bundle
Most leases require carpets to be professionally cleaned as well. 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.
Window cleaning starts from $8 per window. When you ask for end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning, or end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning, ask us to spell out which items are in the main clean and which are priced separately. Then the final figure holds no surprises.
In a family home, carpeted bedrooms, a lounge and a study can add up quickly at a per-room rate. Count the rooms before you call.
Picking a time
Availability depends on the diary, and we do not promise any particular day in advance. If you need same day end of lease cleaning, last minute end of lease cleaning or weekend end of lease cleaning, call 0401 398 705 as early as you can and we will tell you what is possible.
The best timing is usually after your furniture and boxes are out and before the final inspection. For carpets, that means after the removalists have finished, so the floors are not walked over again. Once you have a vacate date, ring us rather than waiting.
Before the cleaner arrives
A few small jobs on your side make the clean more effective:
- Remove all belongings, including items in the garage, shed and wardrobes.
- Take out rubbish and anything left in the fridge, freezer and pantry.
- Take down your own hooks, blinds or shelves if you installed them, and note any marks.
- Make sure the property can be accessed on the day.
- Tell us about any problem areas, such as a baked-on oven or pet odours in carpet.
Families often find the garage holds the last of the boxes. Clear it first so the sweep and cobweb removal can be done properly.
After the clean
Walk through the property with the cleaner or by yourself, and check the areas on your agent’s list. If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. That promise is the 7-day re-clean guarantee, and we put it in writing.
We do not offer a bond back guarantee for end of lease cleaning. Whether a bond is refunded depends on the whole condition report, including damage and unpaid rent, which cleaning cannot control. What we guarantee is the re-clean.

What affects the price
Every property is different, so the final quote depends on property size and condition. The main factors are:
- Number of bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas
- How much grease is built up in the oven, cooktop and range hood
- Limescale in bathrooms and the laundry
- Number of carpeted rooms needing steam cleaning
- Number of windows, if you add window cleaning
- Garage size and condition
People search for cheap end of lease cleaning or the best end of lease cleaning, but neither phrase tells you much on its own. Compare what each quote includes, whether the guarantee is written down and the price per room for carpets. A low quote that leaves out the oven or the inside of the wardrobes can cost more once you pay to fix it.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Cleaning the house yourself saves money, and some tenants do it well. The catch with a larger home is time. You are also packing, handing back keys and often settling into somewhere new. Oven degreasing, limescale and window tracks are the jobs that take longest and that agents tend to check.
Booking end of lease cleaners makes sense when your time is tight or the property is big. If you do it yourself, work from the agent’s checklist and expect to book carpet cleaning separately anyway. Either way, it helps to ring for a quote so you know the figure before deciding.
