End of Lease Cleaning Double Bay — Commercial Make Good Done Once, Properly
Commercial tenancies in Double Bay NSW 2028 turn over faster than the streetscape suggests. Boutiques rotate through the Knox Street and Bay Street shopfronts, professional suites change hands above the retail, and clinics and studios move between the mixed-use buildings around Cross Street and Kiaora Place. Landlords in this postcode enforce make-good clauses seriously, because the next tenant is paying premium rent. Pro Clean Corp services Double Bay 2028 and surrounds with fixed-quoted end of lease cleans timed as the last trade on site.
What we clean at handover
- Floors taken back to base condition — carpet hot-water extracted, vinyl and tile machine scrubbed, VCT stripped and resealed where the lease requires it
- Walls spot-cleaned of scuffs and adhesive residue, skirtings, door frames, doors and architraves washed
- All internal glass, mirrors, partitions and reachable shopfront glazing cleaned inside and out, including tracks and frames
- Kitchens and tea points degreased: cupboards inside and out, benches, splashbacks, sink, and appliance interiors where they stay with the premises
- Bathrooms detailed and descaled, including grout, fittings, exhaust vents and the back of doors
- Light diffusers, ceiling vents, sprinkler heads and exposed services dusted — the items agents check first because nobody cleans them
- Storerooms, back-of-house and any external bin bay cleared and washed, with all cleaning waste removed from site
Sequencing matters more than scope
The most common way a Double Bay handover goes wrong is order of operations. The tenant books a clean, then the shopfitter returns to remove signage, patch the fixing holes and lift the joinery — and the tenancy is filthy again on inspection day. We hold a provisional slot at quote stage and lock the date only once your defit contractor confirms a finish day, so the clean is genuinely the final trade.
Building logistics are the other trap. Lift protection, loading dock windows and after-hours access in the mixed-use blocks along New South Head Road all need booking through the strata manager, often with a week of notice. Our supervisors handle that as part of the job. If you are also the incoming tenant somewhere in the village, we can run the make-good and the new site's first clean back to back and start the ongoing program from day one.
Quoting you can rely on
Every end of lease job is inspected before it is priced. You get a fixed figure in writing at the $40 to $50 per hour band, itemised so you can see what the floor restoration costs versus the general detail, and a clear note of anything we consider a builder's make-good item rather than a cleaning item. If your agent flags a cleaning item within seven days of handover, we come back and fix it free.
End of lease cleaning Double Bay — FAQs
What does a commercial end of lease clean include?
Full internal detail after your defit: floors stripped or extracted, walls spot-cleaned, skirtings and door frames washed, internal and reachable external glass cleaned, kitchens and bathrooms detailed, light diffusers and air vents dusted, and all cleaning waste removed. The scope is written against your make-good clause, not a residential checklist.
When should the clean be booked?
Last, after the defit trades are finished and before your agent inspection. Booking a clean before shopfitters pull out signage or patch walls just means paying twice, so we usually hold a slot at quote stage and confirm the date once your builder gives a finish day.
What does it cost in Double Bay?
End of lease and make-good cleans are priced at $40 to $50 per hour and issued as a fixed quote after a site inspection. A 120 square metre Knox Street retail tenancy usually falls between $700 and $1,400; a 300 square metre office suite typically runs $1,600 to $3,000 depending on floor type and kitchen condition.
How do you work to the inspection standard?
We clean to the make-good clause in your lease and the agent’s own checklist, and the job is signed off area by area before handover. We cannot warrant damage, wear or building defects — those are make-good items for your builder, and we will tell you which is which before you pay for the wrong trade.
Can you handle carpet and hard floor restoration too?
Yes. Hot water extraction for carpet, machine scrubbing for vinyl and tile, and strip-and-seal for VCT floors are all quoted within the same job so the tenancy is handed back on one invoice rather than three.
Can you work overnight to hit a handover deadline?
Yes — overnight and weekend crews are available where a lease expiry, a hoarding removal or a new tenant fitout leaves no daytime window. Building loading dock and lift booking requirements are arranged with the strata manager in advance.
Moving in rather than out?
Start an ongoing program on the new site with office cleaning, retail cleaning, cafe and restaurant cleaning or showroom cleaning. Pricing context is on the rates page, and we handle handovers in Edgecliff and Darling Point as well.
