Moving out of a rental in Westgarth (postcode 3070) comes down to a few practical questions about end of lease cleaning Westgarth tenants face: 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.
Covering Westgarth
Westgarth is one of the 386 Melbourne metro suburbs we service. It sits in the inner north, and we are based in Bundoora. You can book by phone on 0401 398 705 or through our free quote form.
Around the Westgarth Street and High Street shopping strips and the railway station, rentals are a mix of older houses, terraces and apartment buildings. Many of the houses are period homes, and that shapes the clean. Timber floorboards, sash-style windows with worn tracks, old tiled bathrooms and built-in cupboards all collect dirt in places a newer unit does not. The same applies if you are moving out of a neighbouring rental in Northcote or Thornbury.
From quote to booking
The process is short, and you only pay once you have a firm number.
- Call 0401 398 705. Quotes by phone usually take under five minutes.
- Or send the free quote form, and we reply the same business day.
- You receive a firm price based on what you tell us about the property.
- You book a time, usually within two to four business days, depending on the diary.
- The clean is covered by our 7-day re-clean guarantee, which we give you in writing.
If you are comparing an end of lease cleaning quote Westgarth agents may ask you to produce, a written firm price is easier to keep on file than a verbal estimate.
What the price starts from
Bond & End of Lease Cleaning starts from $280. That is a starting point, not a flat rate for every property. A one-bedroom apartment and a four-bedroom period house with a separate laundry and garage are different jobs, so please call for a price.
People often search for end of lease cleaning prices in Westgarth and expect a single figure. We do not publish one, because the honest answer depends on the size and condition of the place you are leaving.
What is included
Our cleaning is done to the REIV exit condition standard. It 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 what you would expect from professional bond cleaners, and it is the list agents usually work through at the final inspection. If your home has features outside this list, such as a fireplace, a detached studio or unusual fittings, mention them when you call so we can tell you whether and how they are covered.
Deciding what to bundle
Many tenants book end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning, because carpets are a common point of dispute. Our carpet steam cleaning uses truck-mounted hot water extraction and starts from $35 per room. It includes spot and stain treatment. Pet odour treatment is available if you have had an animal in the property. Carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours.
Window cleaning is available from $8 per window. If you are weighing up end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning, remember the oven is already part of the standard clean, and windows, tracks, sills and flyscreens are in the inclusions above. Ask us on the call how the per-window service fits with that, so you know exactly what you are paying for. Older homes with many smaller panes can add up, which is another reason to count your windows before you call.
Picking a time
Availability depends on our diary. We cannot promise a particular day, and that includes requests for same day end of lease cleaning, last minute end of lease cleaning or weekend end of lease cleaning in Westgarth. If your handover date is fixed, call 0401 398 705 as early as you can and we will tell you what the diary allows.
A sensible order is to have your belongings and furniture out first, then the clean, then carpets if you have booked them. Aim to finish before your final inspection with a little room to spare, in case the agent raises something.
Before the cleaner arrives
A few things make the clean more effective:
- Remove all belongings, including items in the garage, laundry and wardrobes.
- Take down curtains you own, and clear window sills.
- Empty the fridge and switch it off if the lease requires it.
- Make sure power and water are still connected.
- Tell us about stained carpet or pet areas ahead of time.
In an older house, check the back door, side gate and any storage under the house or in the yard. These are easy to forget and are often the last things to be cleared.
After the clean
Walk through the property with the cleaner or by yourself, and check the oven, bathroom and windows first. If the property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. That promise is in writing.
To be clear, this is a re-clean guarantee. We do not offer a bond back guarantee for end of lease cleaning in Westgarth or anywhere else, because the bond decision is not ours to make and can depend on matters other than cleaning, such as damage or unpaid rent. What we do guarantee is that we will come back to fix cleaning issues raised within the 7 days.
About us
Australia Bond Cleaning is a Bundoora-based Melbourne cleaning business. We handle bond cleaning, vacate cleaning, exit cleaning and move out cleaning for tenants across the metro area, and we also clean carpets and windows. Whichever of those terms your agent or lease uses, including end of tenancy cleaning, they all refer to the same job: returning the property in the condition the exit standard expects.
What affects the price
The final quote depends on property size and condition. The main factors are:
- The number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Whether it is an apartment or a house, and whether there is a garage
- How much build-up there is in the oven, range hood and bathrooms
- The number of windows and the number of carpeted rooms
- Whether you need pet odour treatment
Apartment end of lease cleaning Westgarth tenants book is usually smaller in scope, with fewer windows and often no garage sweep. House end of lease cleaning tends to involve more rooms, more windows and more surfaces, particularly in older homes with a separate laundry, a sunroom or extra storage. Neither is automatically simpler, since a neglected oven or heavy bathroom scale adds work in either.
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 inspection standard. It is the oven, range hood, tracks and descaling that take the longest and most often come back as issues. Booking makes sense if you are also packing, handing over keys and working around other commitments.
When you compare providers, you will see searches for cheap end of lease cleaning and the best end of lease cleaning in Westgarth. We do not use either label for ourselves. Instead, compare what is actually included, whether the re-clean guarantee is in writing, and the price per room for carpets. A low headline price that leaves out the oven or windows can end up costing more.
A checklist to hand us
When you call 0401 398 705 or fill in the free quote form, have these details ready:
- Property type: apartment, terrace or house
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Number of carpeted rooms
- Approximate number of windows
- Whether there is a garage or other outbuilding
- Any pets, heavy stains or special features
- Your handover date and inspection date

Photos taken after the clean are also worth keeping.
