End of lease cleaning in Southbank, around your building's process
Southbank rentals are almost all high-rise apartment towers. We work with your building's access, lift booking, and concierge requirements.
Thorough where it matters. Clear from the beginning.
A detailed clean
Southbank's rental stock is overwhelmingly high-rise apartment towers. Building management is typically more formal than in mid-rise suburbs, 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, 1-bed, and 2-bed apartments in high-rise towers dominate the rental market, with larger and penthouse layouts on higher floors. Stone or composite benchtops, floor-to-ceiling glass, and structured storage are typical scope items.
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.
More than a surface clean
Once the furniture is gone, every edge, fixture, shelf, and floor is easier to see. ELM's Vacate Clean brings those details into one thorough service. These are common inclusions; your quotation confirms the final scope for your Southbank property.

Support that continues after cleaning day

Receive a clear quote
We set out the Vacate Clean inclusions, any additional work, expected timing, and total before you book.
Your team gets to work
Directly employed, police-checked cleaners work through the confirmed inclusions with the property and its finishes in mind.
Head office stays with you
If an included item needs attention after the clean, our office reviews it against the confirmed scope and coordinates the appropriate next step.
A quote that reflects the clean you actually need
A bedroom count cannot show the condition of the oven, the number of wet areas, or the details your property manager has raised. We use the real property and requested work to confirm the scope and total before you book.
What needs cleaning
The size, layout, number of wet areas, surface types, and current condition shape the work required.
What you want included
Your quote sets out what is included, along with any inspection priorities shared before booking.
What the team needs on the day
Keys, lifts, parking, access instructions, and separately requested services are considered before the quote is confirmed.

End of lease cleaning in Southbank
Do you handle high-rise building access and lift bookings?−
Yes. Most Southbank towers 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.
How long does a Southbank apartment clean take?+
The duration depends on the apartment's size, condition, access, and agreed inclusions. ELM confirms the expected timing as part of the property-specific quote.
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.
Can you work with my agent's apartment-specific checklist?+
Yes. Send the list when requesting a quote. It can help shape the property-specific scope and confirmed inclusions.
What is your re-clean guarantee?+
If a cleaning item listed in your inclusions document is missed, contact head office and provide photos. We compare the concern with the confirmed scope and arrange the appropriate rectification under the re-clean policy.
