Moving out of a rental in St Helena (postcode 3088) 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 St Helena after years in a larger family home, the sections below set out the details in order.
Covering St Helena
St Helena is one of the 386 metro suburbs we service. It sits in Melbourne’s north-east, in the City of Banyule, and we are based in Bundoora. You can book by phone on 0401 398 705 or send your details through the free quote form.
St Helena is a leafy, mostly residential suburb of detached houses, with the larger shopping and services around Greensborough close by. That matters for this page. Many tenants here are families moving out of a four-bedroom house with several living areas, a big kitchen, more than one bathroom and a garage. House end of lease cleaning on that scale has more cupboards, more wardrobes and more windows than a small flat, so it is worth quoting properly rather than guessing. If you are in a unit or townhouse, apartment end of lease cleaning follows the same checklist on a smaller footprint.
From quote to booking
The process is short, and you can do it from a packing-box-strewn lounge room.
- Call 0401 398 705. A phone quote 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, not a vague range.
- You book. Bookings are usually made within two to four business days, depending on the diary.
- The 7-day re-clean guarantee is provided in writing, so you have it on paper before you hand back the keys.
An end of lease cleaning quote is easiest when you can tell us the number of bedrooms, bathrooms and carpeted rooms, and whether there are pets.
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 home. A family house with extra rooms will be priced differently from a small unit, so call for a price based on your actual property.
If you are comparing end of lease cleaning prices in St Helena, line up the same things across each quote: what is listed as included, whether a guarantee is in writing, and what carpet steam cleaning costs per room. A low headline figure that leaves out the oven, the tracks or the garage is not a like-for-like comparison. People who search for cheap end of lease cleaning St Helena are usually best served by checking those items first.
What is included
Our vacate cleaning is done to the REIV exit condition standard. 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
For a larger house, the cupboard and wardrobe line is a big part of the work. Children’s bedrooms, built-in robes, pantries and linen cupboards all count. If something is not on this list and you are unsure about it, ask when you call so it is clear before the day.
Deciding what to bundle
Many leases require carpets to be professionally cleaned as well. End of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning St Helena is available as an add-on: truck-mounted hot water extraction from $35 per room. It includes spot and stain treatment, and pet odour treatment is available if animals have lived in the house. Carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours.
Window cleaning is available from $8 per window. In a house with many windows and sliding doors, the count adds up, so tell us roughly how many there are. If you are weighing end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning St Helena, note that the oven, cooktop and range hood are part of the standard clean, and you can ask how windows will be handled in your quote.
Carpet pricing is per room, which makes it simple to compare. Count the carpeted bedrooms, living areas, hallways and studies, then ask for the total.
Picking a time
Dates depend on the diary. We do not promise same day end of lease cleaning St Helena, last minute end of lease cleaning, or weekend end of lease cleaning. If your handover date is close or falls on a weekend, call 0401 398 705 as early as you can and we will tell you what the diary allows.
Families usually have the least flexibility, with school terms, removalists and settlement dates all fixed. Once you know your vacate date, ring us rather than waiting until the last few days of the lease.
Before the cleaner arrives
A clean works best in an empty home. A few things help:
- Remove furniture, boxes and personal items, including from wardrobes, the pantry and the garage.
- Clear the fridge and freezer and take out rubbish.
- Make sure the power and water are still connected.
- Arrange access and tell us about any pets or alarm codes.
- Put the shed and outdoor items where you want them, since the cleaning is of the house and garage.
If carpets are being steam cleaned, empty rooms let the extraction be done without moving things around.
After the clean
Walk through the house, with the exit condition report from your agent in hand if you have it. If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. That 7-day re-clean guarantee is in writing.
You may see bond back guarantee end of lease cleaning offered elsewhere. We do not guarantee the return of your bond, because that decision belongs to the owner or agent and covers more than cleaning. What we guarantee is the re-clean.

What affects the price
The final quote depends on property size and condition. For a St Helena family home, the main factors are:
- The number of bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas
- How much has built up in the oven, bathrooms and laundry
- The number of windows and whether you want window cleaning added
- How many rooms are carpeted, and whether there are stains or pet odour
- The state of the garage
If you read about the best end of lease cleaning St Helena, treat the phrase with caution and compare the inclusions, the written guarantee and the price per room instead.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Cleaning a large house yourself is possible, but it takes time. Descaling bathrooms, degreasing an oven and range hood, and wiping window tracks all take longer than most people expect, and you are likely to be packing and handing over keys at the same time.
Booking makes sense when the house is big, when your move date is tight, or when you want the work done to the REIV exit condition standard with the guarantee in writing. Doing it yourself can suit a smaller place or a lease that is not strict. If you are unsure, ask for a quote and compare it with the time you have.
A checklist to hand us
Have these details ready when you call or fill in the form:
- The St Helena address and whether it is a house, unit or townhouse
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Number of carpeted rooms
- Roughly how many windows
- Pets, and any known stains or odours
- Your vacate date and any inspection date
- How we get access to the property

Keep the written 7-day re-clean guarantee, your quote and your receipt together with your lease and the entry condition report. Take dated photos of the finished house before you hand back the keys. If the agent raises a cleaning issue, contact us within the 7 days and have the details ready.
