Rental Property Cleaning in Christchurch

Cleaning a rental is a scheduling problem as much as a cleaning one. A vacancy costs the owner money every day, the property manager has a viewing booked, and the clean has to fit into whatever gap exists between one tenant leaving and the next arriving. PrestigePro cleans rental properties across Christchurch for landlords, investors and property managers, police vetted and $5 million public liability insured. WHAT LANDLORDS ACTUALLY NEED FROM A CLEANER Reliability on the date, not the lowest price. A clean that slips by a day pushes a viewing, which pushes a tenancy start, which costs more than any difference in quote. We take a booked date as fixed. If we cannot make a date we say so when you ask rather than when we fail to turn up, and we would rather turn work away than take a job we cannot resource properly. BETWEEN TENANCIES The turnover clean between tenants is the one that decides how quickly the property lets and what the incoming tenant thinks they can get away with leaving it like. Kitchen and bathroom to inspection standard, floors, inside cupboards and wardrobes, window sills and tracks, and marks removed from walls where they will come off. Worth knowing: an outgoing tenant is only required to leave the property reasonably clean and tidy under the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 — not professionally cleaned. If it has been left below that standard, that is a bond matter. If it has been left to standard and you want it better than that for the next tenant, that is a maintenance decision. We will tell you honestly which one we are looking at, because those are different conversations with a bond claim attached to one of them. FAIR WEAR AND TEAR IS NOT A CLEANING PROBLEM Carpet worn through in a hallway, sun-faded curtains, scuffed skirting from ordinary use — none of that is dirt and none of it improves with cleaning. It is also not chargeable to a tenant. We will not take your money to scrub something that will not change. If a property needs a painter, a carpet layer or a maintenance visit rather than a cleaner, we say so. REGULAR CLEANING FOR TENANTED PROPERTIES Some owners include cleaning in the tenancy, particularly for furnished, executive or student properties. That works well and it protects the asset — a property cleaned fortnightly through a tenancy comes back at the end in a condition that needs far less work. Where cleaning is included in the rent, we deal with you or your property manager on scheduling and access, not the tenant, unless you arrange otherwise. PROPERTY MANAGERS AND MULTIPLE PROPERTIES We invoice on account rather than asking for payment on the day, work to your systems, and can hold keys under a signed agreement. If you manage a portfolio, one point of contact handles all of it and you get a single itemised invoice rather than one per property. SHORT-STAY AND HOLIDAY PROPERTIES Airbnb and holiday turnovers are a different rhythm — same-day changeovers, linen, and a guest arriving at four whether or not the clean is finished. We handle those too, and the tight window is the whole job. Consistency matters more than anywhere else, because a single missed turnover becomes a public review. PRICING From $44.85 per hour including GST, priced on property size and condition. Properties with steady turnover often move to a regular schedule from $90.85 per visit including GST, which is cheaper per clean and gets priority on dates. Terms and conditions apply.
