Wrapping up a lease in Surry Hills? Surry Hills is terrace houses, warehouse apartments and boutique unit blocks, so we shape every clean around the property in front of us. We work through kitchens, bathrooms, floors, cupboards and windows to the standard agents expect. Free quotes, straightforward booking, and a clean that gives your bond its best chance.
Getting Your Bond Back Starts in the Kitchen
Bond cleans get judged on the details. A property can look tidy and still fail the inspection over a greasy rangehood, marked walls or dusty window tracks. Our end of lease service is built around what agents actually check, covering kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas and laundries with a scope agreed before we start. It’s a thorough, methodical clean designed to hand the property back inspection ready.
What Is Included in End of Lease Cleaning?
The exact service will depend on the size, condition and layout of the property, as well as the agreed cleaning checklist. A standard end of lease clean may include:
- Vacuuming carpets and accessible floor areas
- Mopping hard floors
- Dusting ledges, shelves and accessible surfaces
- Cleaning skirting boards
- Cleaning kitchens and bathrooms
- Wiping cupboard and drawer interiors
- Cleaning wardrobes and storage areas
- Cleaning internal windows
- Cleaning window tracks and frames
- Wiping doors, handles and switches
- Spot cleaning accessible wall marks
- Removing visible cobwebs
The kitchen is one of the most closely inspected areas during a rental handover. Grease, food residue, marks and dust can build up across benches, cupboards, appliances and splashbacks. Our end of lease kitchen cleaning service focuses on restoring a cleaner and more presentable appearance, including inside cupboards and drawers.
Bathrooms can develop soap residue, watermarks, dust, mould and grime throughout a tenancy. Our end of lease bathroom cleaning service may include showers, baths, toilets, vanities, mirrors, tiles, sinks, taps and accessible fixtures. We focus on the key surfaces and areas commonly reviewed during a final inspection.
Living rooms, dining areas, hallways and bedrooms often require detailed cleaning before a property is returned. We vacuum and mop floors, wipe accessible surfaces, clean skirting boards, and clean doors, handles and switches. Once furniture is removed, our cleaners can access corners, floor edges and storage areas more effectively.
Laundry areas can collect dust, lint, detergent residue and marks. We clean sinks, taps, cupboards, benches, floors, and skirting boards. We also clean accessible internal glass, frames, sills and window tracks, which can collect dust, dirt, insects and debris over time.
