Vacate cleaning in Somerville before final inspection
A good Somerville vacate clean removes the guesswork from the last week of moving. You get a clear list of inclusions, separate add-ons and realistic timing before the team arrives.
In Somerville, we commonly allow for peninsula homes, units and townhouses. The local inspection pressure is usually around sandy entries, salt film on glass, exterior windows, holiday-let turnover detail and coastal bathrooms, with the final scope shaped by your photos, room count and agent notes.
Because Somerville connects with nearby rental handovers in Tyabb, Langwarrin South, Pearcedale, Baxter and Hastings, we ask for access notes early rather than trying to solve them on cleaning day.
Before we confirm a Somerville vacate clean, we ask about lockbox or agent-key collection, likely inspection issues such as window tracks, and practical notes like a list of excluded add-ons. Sharing those details early helps keep keys, access and final-inspection timing realistic.
Bond-back guarantee and re-clean support
For Somerville handovers, the safest approach is a clear scope before the clean and a clear process after inspection. Send photos or the agent report within 72 hours if an eligible included item is raised.
The guarantee does not cover permanent stains, damaged surfaces, worn finishes, unpaid rent, rubbish removal, pest treatment, mould inside silicone, or work that was excluded from your quote. This is why we list carpet steam cleaning, exterior windows, balconies, garages and key pickup separately before you book.
What your Somerville vacate clean can include
Kitchen
Oven, racks, stovetop, rangehood, splashback, benchtops, sink, tapware, appliance exteriors and empty cupboard or drawer interiors. Heavy grease should be flagged early so enough time is allowed.
Bathrooms
Bathroom cleaning focuses on the visible inspection items: screen marks, soap build-up, basins, toilets, mirrors, vanity storage and floor edges.
Bedrooms and living areas
For peninsula homes, units and townhouses, living areas are scoped around actual rooms rather than a flat package. Second lounges, studies and rumpus rooms should be listed before booking.
Floors and windows
Hard floors are swept and mopped, carpets are vacuumed, and accessible internal glass, sills and tracks are cleaned. Steam cleaning and outside glass are priced separately.
Laundry and extras
Add-ons are kept separate so there is no confusion on cleaning day. Garages, balconies, courtyards, flea treatment and key movement need to be confirmed before the job is accepted.
Room-count pricing before add-ons
Use From $299 + GST as the first pricing marker for a standard one-bedroom, one-bathroom Somerville clean. The quote is confirmed only after the actual property details are clear.
| Property | Vacate cleaning, 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 extra bathroom adds $30, while carpet steam cleaning, exterior windows, balconies, garages and key movement are quoted separately.
Somerville handover and access notes
Salt film on windows and tracks, sandy entry areas, and the usual kitchen and bathroom detail. Parking is usually manageable away from foreshore pressure, but exterior glass, decks and key timing should be confirmed with the quote.
Clear belongings first, leave power and water on, and tell us what the agent has already mentioned. That helps separate cleaning from wear, damage or excluded work.
For nearby moves around Tyabb, Langwarrin South and Pearcedale, the same quote process applies: send room counts, condition notes and your key-return date through the quote form, then we confirm the scope in writing.
