Typical Cost

Time on Site

Most standard flat cleans take 2–3 hours; a one-bedroom deep clean typically 3–5 hours and larger or very neglected flats 5–8 hours. Factors that extend time include heavy soiling, extra rooms, oven or carpet work, restricted access and pets

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• Are you insured for domestic cleaning and public liability?

• Do you bring your own cleaning materials and equipment or should I supply anything?

• How many cleaners will attend and how long do you estimate for my flat?

• Do you handle oven, carpet or upholstery cleaning and what do those extras cost?

• How do you manage access where buildings have concierge, restricted hours or key fobs?

• What PPE and contamination procedures do you use for mould or biological soiling?

How to Avoid Surprises

• Clear a parking space or confirm nearby pay-and-display options

• Tell the cleaner about pets, allergies or any biohazards in advance

• Ensure clear access to kitchen and bathroom and remove personal items from surfaces

• Confirm building rules such as allowed cleaning hours, concierge access and noise restrictions

• Agree expectations for disposal of large items and any recyclable materials before the job
