What end of lease cleaning in Malvern involves
A detailed clean
Houses make up close to half of Malvern's homes, with apartments and townhouses the rest, so a clean can range from a compact apartment to a home with several living areas and built-in robes. Once the property is empty, storage, fixtures, floors and finish details all come into view, and we work through the full agreed scope.
The right scope
Tell ELM about timber, stone, decorative joinery, older surfaces, or another finish that may need particular care. The property, condition, parking, keys, and access help us allocate the right scope and expected time.
A clearer handover
If the checklist singles out stone benchtops, timber floors or other particular finishes, share it when you enquire. We'll take those surfaces into account when planning the clean and confirm any separately quoted work before you book.
What the Vacate Clean covers
Moving out is busy enough. We clean the whole place so it's ready for the final inspection.
- The oven, rangehood and window tracks, every time.
- Cupboards and wardrobes cleaned inside once you've moved out.
- Skirting boards, light switches and floors throughout.

Questions renters ask
How much does end of lease cleaning cost in Malvern?
It depends on the size and condition of the property, and any extras like carpet steam cleaning or window glass. We give you a fixed quote before you book, so you'll know the full price up front.
How clean does my rental need to be when I move out?
Reasonably clean, and in the same condition as when you moved in, allowing for fair wear and tear. Your entry condition report is the reference point, so it's worth keeping it handy for the final inspection.
Do my carpets need to be professionally cleaned?
Not always. For leases that started on or after 29 March 2021, it's only needed if the carpets were professionally cleaned before you moved in or they're in a state that needs it. If you do need it, we can add carpet steam cleaning to your quote.
Do I need to be home for the clean?
No. You can leave the keys with your agent or in a key safe, and we'll agree access and lock-up details with you before the day.
What should I disclose about delicate finishes?
Tell ELM about timber, stone, decorative joinery, or another finish that may need particular care when requesting the quote. This lets the team assess the property and confirm an appropriate scope.
Can ELM work with my property manager's checklist?
Yes. Send it when requesting a quote. ELM can compare it with the Vacate Clean inclusions and identify anything that needs separate assessment or pricing.
How detailed is the clean?
The Vacate Clean inclusions cover detailed work across kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, the entrance, and floors. Your quotation and inclusions document confirm the final scope for the property.
Can ELM assess a larger or more complex Malvern property?
Yes. ELM assesses larger or more complex properties in advance so the scope and quote reflect the work required. Access and parking details should be provided with the enquiry.
