Secret Harbour and the southern estates

End of Lease Cleaning Secret Harbour

Secret Harbour end of lease cleaning has a second storey in it more often than not, and that changes the job: the glass, the stairs and the number of wet areas all go up.

Priced on the property before anyone turns up, cleaned against the entry condition report you signed.

What an end of lease clean in Secret Harbour is priced on

Every cleaner on this page of Google offers a free quote and none of them says what the quote is made of. Here is ours.

Worked out on the property before anyone turns up, and given as a range that allows for anything unforeseen. No hourly rate, because an hourly rate pays us to be slow and pays you to hope.

In every quote, always

  • Every room, floor to ceiling: walls spot cleaned, skirtings, architraves, doors and door frames
  • Light fittings, switches, power points, air vents and ceiling fans
  • Kitchen throughout: cupboards inside and out, benchtops, splashback, sink and tapware
  • Oven, griller, trays and racks, rangehood filters
  • Bathrooms and laundry: shower screens, tiles and grout, toilet, vanity, mirrors, exhaust fans
  • Windows inside, sills, tracks, and flyscreens taken out and washed
  • Wardrobes and cupboards inside, shelves and rails
  • Floors vacuumed, mopped and edged, including under where the furniture was

What moves the number

Bedrooms and bathrooms
The base of the price. A 4x2 is more work than a 3x1 and the number does not pretend otherwise.
Carpeted rooms
Steam cleaning is quoted separately because it is a separate machine and a separate receipt, and most leases name it specifically.
Oven condition
A wiped-as-you-went oven and a two-year oven are not the same job. Send a photo and it is priced honestly.
Blinds
Verticals and venetians are slat-by-slat work. Rollers and plantation shutters are not. It changes the number.
Furnished or empty
An empty property is faster and cheaper. If furniture is staying, say so, because we clean around it rather than under it.
A second storey
Two sets of wet areas, a staircase, and a void with a high window. It is a bigger job than the same floor area on one level and the quote says so plainly.
Coastal glass
Close enough to the water that salt film is real, and upper storey glass on a two storey home is quoted separately because reaching it safely is its own problem.

Extras are named in the quote before we start, never added after. If something is worse than the photo showed, you get a call, not a bigger invoice.

The houses here

Secret Harbour properties, and what each one costs you at the inspection

Secret Harbour was built from about 2000 onwards around a golf course and a surf beach, so it skipped the older Perth stock entirely: there are no 1970s cottages here to inherit.

What that leaves is four fairly clean bands, and the ones that cost you at an inspection are the two storey ones.

An empty tiled open plan living area in a Perth rental, sliding stacker doors open to a paved alfresco

01

Two storey estate home, 2000 to 2012

The most common rental in the postcode. Living, kitchen and laundry down, three or four bedrooms and a second living up, a void over the entry and a balcony on the seaward side.

Where it fails an inspection

  • The void window above the entry, which needs a pole rather than a cloth
  • Stair edges and the underside of the nosing, missed in almost every DIY clean
  • Two full bathrooms plus a powder room, which doubles the slowest rooms
  • Balcony glass and the balcony drain

02

Single storey 4x2 on a full lot

The earlier and the outer parts of the estate. Tile through the living areas, carpet in the bedrooms, double garage, alfresco under the main roof.

Where it fails an inspection

  • Alfresco ceiling, fan blades and the downlights above the barbecue
  • Glass splashback, which shows every streak under downlights
  • Stacker doors with three tracks and the sand that lives in them
  • Reticulation staining on the paving and the lower brickwork

03

Front-line and near-beach homes

The streets closest to the dunes. More glass, more balcony, and a great deal more salt than the same house half a kilometre inland.

Where it fails an inspection

  • Salt film on every pane, which needs the right treatment or it returns in days
  • Window and door tracks that need scraping before they will run
  • Screen mesh gone brittle, which tears if it is rushed out of the frame
  • Sand through the carpet, including under where the furniture was

04

Post-2015 small lot and rear loaded

The newest pockets and the Golden Bay edge. Narrow lots, garage off a rear laneway, courtyard instead of a yard, hybrid flooring throughout.

Where it fails an inspection

  • Courtyard paving and its drain, which is small and blocks
  • Laneway garages, where the slab takes oil and nobody claims it
  • Hybrid flooring, which marks if it is cleaned like tile
  • Compact wet areas where the shower screen is the whole wall

Why moves here are different

Secret Harbour is a commute suburb, and commutes set the handover date

This is a long way south. Most working tenants here drive to Rockingham, Kwinana or into Perth, and a handover in the middle of a work day is not a thing most people can arrange. The result is that Friday afternoons and Saturday mornings carry far more of the load here than they do closer in.

The second thing is the estate itself. It is still a young suburb with a lot of first-home buyers moving out of rentals into builds, so handover dates move when a builder moves.

Neither changes what we clean. Both change what a realistic booking looks like.

Friday and Saturday
The busiest slots in this postcode by a distance. Ask early rather than late in the week.
Waiting on a build
Say the date is provisional and we will hold it loosely rather than treat a change as a cancellation.
Two storey
Tell us at booking. It changes the time on site and we would rather quote it than discover it.
Salt
If you are in the streets near the dunes, say so. The glass is a different job there.

Secret Harbour vacate cleaning FAQs

Still not covered? Call 1300 439 506 and ask.

How much does end of lease cleaning cost in Secret Harbour?

It depends on the property, and anyone quoting a number before seeing one is guessing. What we can tell you is what the number is built from: bedrooms and bathrooms first, then carpeted rooms, the oven, the blinds, whether the place is furnished, and what outdoor areas the lease names. Here the first question is whether it is single or two storey, because a second level adds a staircase, a void and a second set of wet areas. Send the address and a photo of the oven and you get a quote.

Is a two storey home more expensive to have cleaned?

Yes, and it is worth understanding why rather than just seeing a bigger number. A second storey adds a staircase whose edges and nosing take real time, a void with a window that needs a pole, and usually a second full bathroom, which is the slowest room in any house. It is not a surcharge for stairs, it is more rooms and more glass.

Is a vacate clean in Secret Harbour the same as an end of lease clean?

Yes, all four are one job. Secret Harbour adds a practical wrinkle rather than a terminology one: on a two storey property the report covers upper floor glass and stairs as well, and those are the parts a quote for a single storey never included.

Do I have to get the carpets professionally steam cleaned?

Check the lease, because a named condition means a dated receipt. Secret Harbour has a specific problem worth naming: sand travels here and settles into carpet including under where the furniture stood, so the area that looks fine while the house is full is often the area that shows once it is empty. It is quoted on the empty property.

What should an end of lease clean include?

The room-by-room list is above and it is the same across Perth. Secret Harbour adds the second storey: upper floor glass, the stairs and their nosing, an extra wet area, and sand through the carpet including under where the furniture stood. Anything on the outside of upper glass is a separate quote and is said so up front.

What happens if the property manager knocks something back?

Call us and we return and fix what was named, at no charge, provided it was in the quoted scope and nobody has moved in. In Secret Harbour it is most often upper floor glass or the stair nosing, which is why the quote says up front what is reachable and what is not. We do not promise your bond back, because that decision is the agent's.

Do you come this far south?

Yes. Secret Harbour, Golden Bay and Singleton are on the same run as Rockingham and Baldivis, so it is a normal booking rather than a special trip. Mandurah and the Peel side are worth asking about.

Can you do a Saturday handover?

Yes, where the diary allows. Ask early in the week rather than on the Friday, because Saturday is the slot everyone handing over on a work day needs and there is only one of them.

How far ahead should I book in Secret Harbour?

A week is comfortable, and the last week of the month plus every Friday and Saturday are the slots that fill. Two days notice is not impossible, it is a phone call rather than a form.
