From quote to booking
- Call 0401 398 705. Phone quotes usually take under five minutes. Alternatively, send the free quote form and we reply the same business day.
- Tell us the size of the property, the number of bathrooms and carpeted rooms, and anything unusual about its condition.

- Choose a date. Booking is usually within two to four business days, depending on the diary.
- The 7-day re-clean guarantee is provided in writing, so you have it before the property manager inspects.
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. Call 0401 398 705 for a price based on your home. Any end of lease cleaning quote we give is specific to the property you describe, which is why we ask a few questions first.
What is included
The clean is done to the REIV exit condition standard. Agents tend to work through a property room by room, so it helps to think the same way:
- Kitchen: inside cupboards and drawers, oven, cooktop, range hood and dishwasher. The oven and range hood are among the first things an agent opens or looks up at.
- Bathrooms and laundry: descaling of taps, screens, tiles and fixtures, plus cupboards and the laundry trough.
- Bedrooms: inside wardrobes and drawers, and the surfaces and fittings in each room.
- Windows: glass, tracks, sills and flyscreens. Dirty tracks are easy for an agent to spot.
- Garage: a sweep and cobweb removal, which matters on larger Smiths Gully blocks where garages and sheds are common.
Carpets are quoted separately, as described below.
Deciding what to bundle
Many tenants ask for end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning Smiths Gully agents will accept, because stained or marked carpet is an easy item to raise at inspection. 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.
If you want end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning, note that the oven is already part of the standard clean. Window cleaning from $8 per window is available if you want windows priced on their own. Tell us when you call exactly what you want covered so the quote matches it.
Some companies advertise a bond back guarantee end of lease cleaning service. We do not promise a bond outcome, because that decision belongs to the agent and the owner. What we provide in writing is a 7-day re-clean guarantee.
Picking a time
Dates depend on our diary. We do not promise same day end of lease cleaning or last minute end of lease cleaning, and weekend end of lease cleaning Smiths Gully bookings also depend on what is free. If your lease ends soon, call 0401 398 705 early and we will tell you what is possible.
Try to book the clean after your belongings are out and before the final inspection, with a day or two to spare if you can. That leaves room to fix anything that comes up.
Before the cleaner arrives
- Remove all furniture, personal items and rubbish, including from cupboards, wardrobes, the garage and any sheds.
- Empty the fridge and freezer if they belong to you, and clear the dishwasher.
- Make sure the cleaner can get in, and that power and water are on.
- Read your lease and the agent’s cleaning list, if you have one, and pass on anything specific.
- Fix or note any damage, such as marks on walls, because cleaning does not repair damage.
After the clean
Do a short walk-through when the work is finished. Open the oven, run a hand along the window tracks, and look inside a few wardrobes. If carpets were steamed, keep shoes off until they are dry, which is usually within a few hours.
Take dated photos of each room for your own records. If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, call us and we return and fix it free of charge. Passing on the agent’s comments in writing makes this quicker.

What affects the price
Final end of lease cleaning prices depend on property size and condition. The main factors are:
- the number of bedrooms and bathrooms

- the number of windows and how much track and sill buildup there is
- the number of carpeted rooms, and any pet odour or stains
- whether there is a garage or other areas to sweep
If you are searching for cheap end of lease cleaning Smiths Gully, compare what each quote includes rather than just the headline figure. Check whether ovens, inside cupboards and window tracks are covered, whether a written re-clean guarantee is offered, and what the carpet price is per room. The same applies if you are looking for the best end of lease cleaning: a clear list of inclusions and a written guarantee tell you more than a label does.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Cleaning it yourself can work if you have the time and a clear idea of the standard. The difficult jobs are usually the oven, range hood, shower descaling, window tracks and carpets, because they take time and the right equipment, and agents look at them closely. Hiring a professional suits you if you are also packing, handing back keys and finishing work, or if the property is large. On acreage-style blocks, the extra rooms, windows and outbuildings can add hours.
A checklist to hand us
Having these details ready makes the quote faster and more accurate:
- the property address and whether it is a house or an apartment
- the number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- the number of carpeted rooms, and whether you want steam cleaning
- an estimate of how many windows there are
- the condition of the oven and bathrooms
- any pets that lived in the property
- your lease end date and inspection date
- any cleaning list from your agent
Keeping your paperwork
Keep your quote, the booking confirmation, the written 7-day re-clean guarantee and your receipt together. Add your photos and the agent’s exit condition report. If something is raised after the inspection, having these in one place makes it easy to show what was done and when. Send your details through the free quote form or call 0401 398 705.
