What end of lease cleaning in Southbank involves
A detailed clean
Southbank's homes are overwhelmingly apartments. In a high-rise tower, building management can be more formal than in a mid-rise building, with lift bookings, concierge sign-in, and floor-by-floor neighbour considerations all shaping when and how a clean can run.
The right scope
Studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments sit alongside larger layouts in Southbank towers, so share the floor plan, storage and floor level when you request a quote. Stone or composite benchtops, floor-to-ceiling glass and structured storage can all be part of the scope.
A clearer handover
Share the building's process and any property-manager checklist when requesting a quote. ELM confirms access requirements and identifies work outside the standard Vacate Clean before booking.
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 Southbank?
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.
Do you handle high-rise building access and lift bookings?
Yes. Southbank towers can require advance lift bookings, concierge sign-in or specific service-entry access. Tell us your building's process at booking and we will arrange the visit around it.
Can you clean floor-to-ceiling glass and balconies?
Window glass cleaning is quoted separately. Tell ELM about any balcony when enquiring; the property-specific quote must explicitly confirm whether balcony surface cleaning is included.
What if my building restricts cleaning to certain hours?
Building rules can restrict cleaning hours and access points. Share the requirements when requesting a quote so the access plan and available schedule can be confirmed.
