Moving out of a rental in Whittlesea (postcode 3757) 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 weighing up end of lease cleaning Whittlesea options, it should help you decide what to ask for and what to compare.
Covering Whittlesea
Whittlesea is one of the 386 metro suburbs we service, in Melbourne’s northern region. We are based in Bundoora, home to a La Trobe University campus, so student and share-house moves are a familiar part of the picture for us. You can book by phone on 0401 398 705 or send the details through our free quote form.
Rentals around Whittlesea are mostly detached houses, with some units and townhouses. That means house end of lease cleaning is the common job, while apartment end of lease cleaning is less usual here. Mernda, nearby, has a similar mix. Either way, the clean is priced to the property in front of us, not to a suburb average.
Share houses add one complication: several tenants, one lease, and often one bond. Agree early on who is handling the clean, so that you are not each assuming someone else has booked it.
From quote to booking
The process is short. Here is how it runs from first contact to handover:
- Call 0401 398 705. Quotes by phone usually take under five minutes.
- Or use the free quote form. We reply the same business day.
- You receive a firm price for the job, based on what you have told us about the property.
- Booking is usually within two to four business days of confirming. Exact dates depend on the diary.
- You receive our 7-day re-clean guarantee in writing.
An end of lease cleaning quote is only as accurate as the details behind it. The more you tell us about bedrooms, bathrooms, carpets and the state of the oven, the firmer the number.
What the price starts from
Bond & End of Lease Cleaning starts from $280. That is a starting point, not a flat rate for every home. For an actual price, call 0401 398 705 or use the quote form, and the final quote depends on property size and condition.
When you search for end of lease cleaning prices Whittlesea, you will see a wide spread of numbers. If you are looking for cheap end of lease cleaning Whittlesea or the best end of lease cleaning Whittlesea, a headline price will not tell you much. Compare these instead:
- What is included, line by line (oven, windows, wardrobes, bathroom descaling).
- Whether there is a written guarantee, and how long it runs.
- The price per room for carpets, if you need them done.
- Whether the clean is done to the REIV exit condition standard.
What is included
Our bond cleaning is done to the REIV exit condition standard, which is the benchmark agents commonly work from at final inspection. 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
These are the areas where vacate cleaning most often gets queried. Whether you call it exit cleaning, move out cleaning or end of tenancy cleaning, the list above is what we mean by it.
Deciding what to bundle
Many tenants add carpets. 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 if an animal has lived in the home. Carpets are usually walk-on dry within a few hours. If you want end of lease cleaning with carpet steam cleaning Whittlesea, ask for both in the one quote so the price per room is clear.
Window cleaning is available from $8 per window. If you are after end of lease cleaning with oven and window cleaning Whittlesea, note that the oven is part of the bond clean, and windows, tracks, sills and flyscreens are in the inclusions above. Ask when you call how a priced-per-window job fits with that, so you only pay for what you need.
It is worth checking your lease and the agent’s cleaning list before deciding. If carpets or windows are named, include them in the quote request.
Picking a time
Dates depend on the diary. We do not promise same day end of lease cleaning, last minute end of lease cleaning or weekend end of lease cleaning in Whittlesea, because availability changes with the bookings we already hold. What helps is calling 0401 398 705 early, as soon as you know your exit date.
For students and share-house tenants, leases often end on the same date and keys are due back quickly. Work backwards from handover: clean after everyone has moved out and before the final inspection, with a little room in between in case something needs a second look.
Before the cleaner arrives
A few things make the day run smoothly:
- Remove all belongings, furniture and rubbish. Cleaners work best in an empty property.
- Empty the fridge, freezer and pantry.
- Make sure power and water are still on.
- Arrange access, whether that is you on site, a key handover or an agreed lockbox.
- Point out marks, stains or problem areas you already know about.
In a share house, settle who removes the shared items, such as the old couch, the bikes in the garage and the pot plants on the deck. Left-behind items can hold up a clean or turn up on the agent’s list.
After the clean
Walk through the property once the work is done, ideally with the carpets dry and the lights on. If you spot something you are unsure about, call 0401 398 705 straight away.
If your property manager raises a cleaning issue within 7 days, we return and fix it free of charge. That is our written 7-day re-clean guarantee. Send us the agent’s feedback as it is, so we know exactly what to look at.
To be clear about what the guarantee is not: we do not offer a bond back guarantee for end of lease cleaning in Whittlesea. The bond outcome is a decision for the agent and the landlord, and plenty of things beyond cleaning, such as damage or unpaid rent, can affect it. What we do promise is the re-clean.
About us
We are a Bundoora-based Melbourne cleaning business offering Bond & End of Lease Cleaning, carpet steam cleaning and window cleaning across the metro area. As professional bond cleaners, we work to the REIV exit condition standard and put our guarantee in writing. If you want to speak to someone before booking, call 0401 398 705.
What affects the price
The $280 starting figure moves with the job. These are the main factors:
- Property size: number of bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas.
- Condition: a well-kept rental costs less to bring up to standard than one with baked-on oven grease or heavy limescale.
- Carpets: the number of rooms, at $35 per room, plus any pet odour treatment.
- Windows: the number of windows, from $8 each.
- Extras: a large garage or other areas the agent has listed.
A two-bedroom unit and a four-bedroom family house will not cost the same, which is why we quote each one individually.
Choosing between doing it yourself and booking
Cleaning it yourself saves money and can work well for a small, tidy place. The trade-off is time and risk. The oven, range hood, bathroom descaling and window tracks take longer than most people expect, and a missed spot can mean a callback from the agent when you have already moved.
Booking end of lease cleaners makes more sense when you are juggling study, work, a new address and several housemates. It also gives you a written guarantee to fall back on. Whichever you choose, use the agent’s cleaning list as your guide.
A checklist to hand us
Have these details ready when you call or fill in the form, and your quote will be quicker and firmer:
- The address and whether it is a house, unit or townhouse
- Bedrooms and bathrooms
- How many rooms of carpet need steam cleaning
- Approximate number of windows, if you want them priced
- Whether pets have lived there
- The condition of the oven and bathrooms
- Your exit date and final inspection date
- Any items on the agent’s cleaning list
Keeping your paperwork
Keep everything together until your bond is finalised: your quote, invoice, our written 7-day guarantee, the entry condition report, the agent’s cleaning list and any emails with the property manager. Photos of the property after the clean, taken on the day, are also useful. In a share house, send copies to every tenant on the lease so no one is chasing documents later.
