Getting your bond back comes down to one inspection, and that inspection is largely about how clean the property is. Kiri's Spring Cleaning provides end of tenancy cleaning across Christchurch to the standard property managers actually apply, not the standard tenants hope will be enough.
We clean move-out properties for tenants, landlords and property management companies throughout the city, from student flats in Riccarton and Ilam to family homes in Halswell, Papanui and Rolleston.
The single most common reason bond money is withheld in New Zealand is cleaning. Ovens, rangehood filters, window tracks, skirtings and inside cupboards are where the deductions come from, and they are exactly where a normal weekly clean never goes.
An end of tenancy clean is a full property reset. Every room is cleaned inside and out, including places nobody looks at during a tenancy.
We clean to the property manager's checklist rather than our own preference. If you have a copy of the outgoing inspection sheet, send it through and we will work directly from it.
If something is beyond cleaning, we say so before we start rather than after. Permanent carpet staining, damaged vinyl and mould inside a wall cavity are maintenance issues, not cleaning issues, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.
The clean should happen after the property is completely empty and before the final inspection. An empty house cleans faster, cleans better and leaves no argument about what was moved.
Christchurch move-out demand spikes at the end of the university year and around the end of each month. If your tenancy ends in that window, book early. Where possible we can also fit in a short notice clean, so it is always worth asking.
We work with Christchurch property managers who need a reliable turnaround between tenancies. We can collect keys, clean between tenants and report back with photos so the property is ready to show without another site visit from you.
Regular work across a portfolio can be arranged on account with consistent per-property pricing.
No honest cleaner can guarantee a bond, because bond decisions also cover damage, rubbish, gardens and rent. What we can do is clean to the standard property managers expect, and return to re-clean anything the outgoing inspection raises about our work.
Carpets are vacuumed thoroughly as part of the clean. Professional carpet steam cleaning is a separate service and many tenancy agreements require it, so check your agreement and let us know.
It depends on the size and condition of the property. A small flat costs considerably less than a large family home that has been lived in hard for three years. We give a fixed written quote before starting.
A one or two bedroom flat is usually a half to full day. A larger family home can take a full day with a team. Heavy oven grease and neglected bathrooms add time.
Yes. This is very common with student flats around Riccarton, Ilam and Lincoln. We invoice once and you can divide it however suits.
