End of lease and vacate cleaning in Canterbury
An exit clean in Canterbury is not just a tidy-up before keys go back. It is a room-by-room clean against a written scope, with the inspection details agreed before the team arrives.
Canterbury is in the Boroondara service area. The local rental mix includes larger family homes, units and townhouses, with quotes shaped by room counts and access, so we ask about layout and condition rather than assuming every home needs the same time.
Canterbury is part of our Boroondara service area, with nearby coverage across Balwyn, Surrey Hills and Deepdene.
The inspection-sensitive parts are usually larger window runs, multiple bathrooms and built-in robes across several bedrooms, with extra time allowed for condition issues you flag before booking.
It suits three groups. Tenants book it to reduce cleaning disputes before key return. Landlords use it between tenancies so the next applicant sees a property that is ready to inspect. Property managers use it for turnovers because the agreed scope is written down before the clean starts.
The same end-of-lease, vacate, move-out and bond cleaning team also quotes work around Balwyn, Surrey Hills and Deepdene, so the local scope stays consistent across nearby properties.
What is included in your Canterbury end of lease clean
For Canterbury properties, the inclusion list is practical: rooms, surfaces, fixtures and internal glass that can be accessed once furniture has gone. Anything outside that scope is quoted before cleaning starts.
Kitchen
Oven interior including trays and racks, rangehood, stovetop and oven exterior, benchtops, splashback, sink, tapware, appliance exteriors, plus empty cabinet and drawer interiors. In Canterbury, tell us early if the oven or rangehood has heavy grease so the time is allowed.
Bathrooms
The bathroom and laundry scope covers wet-area surfaces, mirrors, tapware, cabinets, floors and accessible vents. Mention mould, heavy limescale or damaged grout before your Canterbury booking is confirmed.
Bedrooms
Wardrobes, cupboards, doors, handles, switches, skirting boards and accessible surfaces are cleaned once belongings are removed. Carpeted bedrooms are vacuumed, with steam cleaning quoted per room if needed.
Living areas
Accessible fittings, cornices, skirting boards, doors, handles, storage areas and hard surfaces are dusted and wiped. The inspection-sensitive parts are usually larger window runs, multiple bathrooms and built-in robes across several bedrooms, with extra time allowed for condition issues you flag before booking.
Floors
All carpeted areas are vacuumed and hard floors are swept and mopped. Carpet steam cleaning is an add-on at $40 per room and should be booked with enough drying time before inspection.
Windows
Window interiors, sills and tracks are included where accessible, along with one set of glass doors inside and out. Exterior windows are quoted separately at $20 where access is practical.
Laundry
Laundry benches, sink, tapware, cabinet interiors, cabinet exteriors and floors are included. Garage sweep, balcony cleaning, flea treatment and key pickup/drop-off can be added before the booking is accepted.
Cleaning cannot repair a damaged surface. Permanent stains, worn finishes and pre-existing damage sit outside the clean and outside the re-clean cover, so point them out before the quote is finalised.
How much does end of lease cleaning cost in Canterbury?
End of lease cleaning in Canterbury starts from $299 + GST for a one-bedroom, one-bathroom property. The final quote follows room counts, condition, storeys, access and selected add-ons.
| Property | End of lease, from |
|---|
| 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom | $299 |
| 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom | $399 |
| 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms | $429 |
| 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms | $529 |
| 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms | $579 |
| 5+ bedrooms, 2 bathrooms | $679 |
Prices exclude GST and assume standard property condition. Each additional bathroom adds $30, and bond cleaning starts $20 lower than end-of-lease at every size.
If you are comparing prices around Balwyn and Surrey Hills, make sure the scope is comparable. A cheap quote that excludes ovens, tracks or bathroom detail can become expensive after the agent report arrives.
Send your room counts, condition notes and key-return date through the quote form for a fixed figure before you book.

Why Canterbury renters choose The Lease Cleaners
Written scope before booking. Tenants, landlords and property managers get the agreed inclusions in writing, including what is excluded or priced separately.
Quoted on your room counts. Bedrooms, bathrooms, living areas and add-ons shape the price, which is more useful than applying a generic Canterbury average.
Clear limits on cleaning. Worn finishes, permanent staining and pre-existing damage are identified separately so you are not paying for a result cleaning cannot deliver.
72-hour re-clean support. Eligible, in-scope cleaning issues reported with evidence and access can receive one complimentary re-clean visit under the guarantee terms.
Insured and police-checked cleaners. Every cleaner is fully insured and police-checked, and the business carries $20 million public liability insurance.
Local handover planning. Canterbury sits in Boroondara, with nearby coverage around Balwyn and Surrey Hills, so access and timing are discussed before the day.
Access, parking and key handover in Canterbury
Driveways and off-street parking are common here, which usually makes access straightforward. If the agent is handling keys, share the office details and any pickup or drop-off timing before we confirm the booking.
Book the clean once the furniture is out, with water and power still connected. Keep your entry condition report to hand, point out existing damage, and leave time for a walkthrough before the keys go back.
We also service Balwyn, Surrey Hills and Deepdene, so nearby move dates can often be planned together when availability allows.
