Moving out of a rental in Surrey Hills (postcode 3127) 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 Surrey Hills using what we state on our site. It pays particular attention to pets and carpets, which are common sticking points at exit inspections.
Covering Surrey Hills
Surrey Hills is one of the 386 metro suburbs we service across Melbourne. It sits in the eastern suburbs, and we are based in Bundoora. You can book by phone or through the quote form, and you do not need to visit an office.
The suburb has a mix of older houses and apartments, with the Union Road shopping strip, Surrey Hills railway station and Surrey Park as familiar reference points. That mix matters for cleaning. Apartment end of lease cleaning tends to be about balconies, compact kitchens and shared access. House end of lease cleaning usually involves more rooms, more carpet and often a garage. We also work in nearby suburbs such as Canterbury and Box Hill.
From quote to booking
Getting an end of lease cleaning quote is meant to be straightforward. The process looks like this:
- Call 0401 398 705. Quotes over the phone usually take under five minutes.
- Or send the free quote form. We reply the same business day.
- You receive a firm price, based on the size and condition of the property.
- You choose a date. Bookings are usually made 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 fixed price for every property, so please call for a quote based on your place.
If you are comparing end of lease cleaning prices in Surrey Hills, look past the headline number. Ask what is included, whether the guarantee is in writing, and what carpets cost per room. A low figure that leaves out the oven, the windows or the carpets can end up costing more once you add them back. Anyone searching for cheap end of lease cleaning is better served by a like-for-like comparison than by the lowest number.
What is included
Our bond cleaning is done to the REIV exit condition standard. Vacate cleaning with us 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
This is the scope that exit cleaning inspections tend to focus on. If a room or area is unusual in your property, mention it when you call so it is reflected in the quote.
Deciding what to bundle
Carpets are often the biggest variable, especially if you have had a dog or cat living with you. 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.
End of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning is worth considering if your lease requires professional carpet cleaning, which many do. Check your lease and keep the paperwork.
For end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning, note that the oven is already part of the standard clean. Window cleaning starts from $8 per window. Ask on the call exactly how windows are treated in your quote, so there are no surprises.
Picking a time
Dates depend on our diary, which changes from week to week. If you are after same day end of lease cleaning, last minute end of lease cleaning or weekend end of lease cleaning in Surrey Hills, we cannot promise any of those up front. The practical advice is to call 0401 398 705 as early as you can once you know your move-out date, and we will tell you what the diary allows.
If carpets are part of the job, try to line up the clean after your furniture is out and before the final inspection, with a little buffer for drying.
Before the cleaner arrives
A little preparation helps the clean go smoothly:
- Remove all belongings, including items in the garage and balcony or yard.
- Make sure power and water are on and we have access.
- Take pets elsewhere for the day. Pet hair, scratches and odours are easier to deal with when animals are not underfoot.
- Point out stains, spills or pet accidents on carpet so they can be treated.
- Take down picture hooks, cobwebs you can reach and any rubbish you have left.
After the clean
Once the carpets have been steam cleaned, they are usually walk-on dry within a few hours. If you have a dog or cat, keep them off the carpet until it has dried, and avoid moving furniture back in.
Then walk through with your entry condition report and check the property against it. If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, call us. Under our written guarantee we return and fix it free of charge.
About us
Australia Bond Cleaning is a Bundoora-based Melbourne cleaning business. Our team are professional bond cleaners, and end of lease cleaners for rentals across the metro area, including Surrey Hills. We focus on move out cleaning that follows the REIV exit condition standard and back it with a written 7-day re-clean guarantee.
What affects the price
The final quote depends on property size and condition. Things we will usually ask about include:
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- How heavily used the oven, range hood and bathrooms are
- Number of carpeted rooms, and whether pets have lived there
- Number of windows, if you want window cleaning added
- Whether there is a garage and how much needs doing
- Whether it is an apartment or a house
Pets can change the picture for end of tenancy cleaning, because hair, odour and carpet marks add work. Tell us up front and the quote will reflect it.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Cleaning it yourself can work if you have time, the right products and a clear idea of what the agent will check. Ovens, range hoods, descaling and carpets are the jobs people most often underestimate, and hiring carpet equipment is rarely the same as truck-mounted extraction.
If you decide to book, do not just look for the best end of lease cleaning on a search page. Compare inclusions, whether the guarantee is in writing, and the price per room for carpets. Those three things tell you more than any label.
A checklist to hand us
When you call or fill in the form, having these details ready speeds up an accurate quote:
- Property address and whether it is an apartment or a house
- Bedrooms, bathrooms and number of carpeted rooms
- Pets in the property, and any known stains or odours
- Approximate number of windows, if you want them cleaned
- Garage or storage areas
- Your move-out date and final inspection date, if known
- Any specific items listed in your agent’s cleaning requirements
Keeping your paperwork
Keep your quote, our written 7-day re-clean guarantee, your payment receipt and your entry condition report together. Photos of the property after the clean can also be useful.
You will see “bond back guarantee end of lease cleaning” advertised around Melbourne. We do not guarantee a bond refund, because that decision is not ours to make. What we guarantee, in writing, is the 7-day re-clean. If you want to book or ask anything first, call 0401 398 705 or use the free quote form.
