The Lease Cleaners prepares empty Cockatoo rentals for final inspection, with the job scoped around the rooms, condition, access and handover deadline you provide before booking.
Cockatoo is in the Cardinia service area. The local rental mix includes newer estate homes, townhouses and double-storey builds, with inspection detail varying by age and condition, so we ask about layout and condition rather than assuming every home needs the same time.
Cockatoo is part of our Cardinia service area, with nearby coverage across Avonsleigh, Emerald and Clematis.
Final inspections here often come down to stair edges, upper-storey window tracks, garage floors and the glazing across open-plan living areas, plus the usual oven, bathroom and floor detail.
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 Avonsleigh, Emerald and Clematis, so the local scope stays consistent across nearby properties.
Every Cockatoo end-of-lease clean starts with the empty interior and the written scope accepted before booking. Carpet steam cleaning, exterior windows, balconies, garages and key movement are listed separately so the price stays clear.
Kitchen detail is usually inspection-critical: oven interior, rangehood, stovetop, benches, splashback, sink and empty cupboards. We price extra appliances separately so the Cockatoo scope is clear.
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 Cockatoo booking is confirmed.
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.
Accessible fittings, cornices, skirting boards, doors, handles, storage areas and hard surfaces are dusted and wiped. Final inspections here often come down to stair edges, upper-storey window tracks, garage floors and the glazing across open-plan living areas, plus the usual oven, bathroom and floor detail.
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.
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 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.
A vacate clean in Cockatoo is quoted from the rate card below, then adjusted for condition, extra bathrooms, storeys and extras such as carpet steam cleaning or exterior windows.
| 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.
We quote the property, not just the suburb name. That means newer estate homes, townhouses and double-storey builds, with inspection detail varying by age and condition, access, soil level and inspection timing are all considered before the booking is accepted.
Send your room counts, condition notes and key-return date through the quote form for a fixed figure before you book.
Use this checklist against your entry condition report before the keys go back. The team works from the agreed written scope, with extra attention to stair edges, upper-storey window tracks, garage floors and the glazing across open-plan living areas where the property calls for it.
For Cockatoo homes near Avonsleigh, Emerald and Clematis, flag garages, balconies, steep access, shared driveways or exterior glass before booking so the quote says exactly what is included.

Local handover planning. Cockatoo sits in Cardinia, with nearby coverage around Avonsleigh and Emerald, so access and timing are discussed before the day.
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 Cockatoo 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.
Insured and police-checked cleaners. Every cleaner is fully insured and police-checked, and the business carries $20 million public liability insurance.
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.
Estate streets and driveways make access straightforward, and a garage is usually available. 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.
The cleaner the access plan, the easier it is to protect your inspection window and avoid last-minute scope changes.
Choose the service wording that matches your handover: end of lease, vacate, move-out or bond cleaning.
From $299 + GST. End-of-lease base rate for a standard one-bedroom, one-bathroom property. Each extra bathroom adds $30, and condition, storeys and add-ons are quoted on top. Bond cleaning starts $20 lower at every size.

Share the room counts, condition, access details and the date you need the clean.
Confirm the price, included work and any extras before your booking is accepted.
We work through the agreed scope. Leave time for a walk-through before returning the keys.
Our bond-back cleaning cover
Report an in-scope end-of-lease cleaning issue within 72 hours, with evidence and access, for one complimentary re-clean. Conditions apply.
Our bond-back service addresses the cleaning work in your agreed scope. Bond decisions can also involve rent, damage and other tenancy matters, so a clean cannot guarantee the return of the entire bond.
