End of Lease Cleaning Paddington
Pro Clean Corp handles commercial end of lease and make-good cleaning across Paddington NSW 2021 — Oxford Street shopfronts handing back after a season, gallery spaces on the terrace streets, studios above the William Street boutiques, and small professional tenancies in converted Victorian houses. Servicing Paddington 2021 and surrounds, we quote a fixed price after a walkthrough and re-attend free if your agent flags anything on the scope at inspection.
Paddington leases are landlord-heavy. Most buildings here are privately owned heritage terraces rather than institutional stock, and the owner often lives locally and inspects personally. That makes make-good standards stricter and more subjective than a suburban office park, and it makes the condition of original features — floorboards, cornices, sash windows, iron lacework — the thing your handover actually turns on.
What the vacate scope covers
- Full internal wash-down: walls, skirtings, architraves, door faces and switch plates
- Floor treatment matched to substrate — timber, polished concrete, tile, vinyl or carpet extraction
- Windows inside and out where safely reachable, including sash tracks, sills and shopfront glazing
- Kitchenette and amenities detail: cupboard interiors, sink, taps, fixtures and grout
- Adhesive, hook, decal and signage residue removal from glass, render and joinery
- Fitting rooms, back-of-house and stockroom shelving stripped and cleaned
- Light fittings, ceiling vents, exhaust fans and high dusting of cornices and ceiling roses
- Rubbish, packaging and hanger removal, plus final bin wash for Woollahra Council collection
Getting the sequence right
The clean is the last trade. Shopfitters pull the fitout, signage comes off the facade, any patching and painting cures, and then we come through. Tenants who book the cleaner first inevitably pay for a second visit, because a defit generates more dust than trading ever did. We will happily coordinate directly with your fitout contractor to lock the date.
Build two clear days into your timeline between our clean and the handover inspection. That buffer costs nothing and gives us room to re-attend if the agent raises something. We also photograph the finished tenancy room by room and send the set through, so you have dated evidence of the condition you handed back in — which matters when a bond dispute surfaces weeks later.
Products are chosen for the building, not the invoice. Original boards get pH-neutral care rather than a stripper, pressed-metal ceilings are dry-dusted, and marble or sandstone details are treated with appropriate stone-safe chemistry. Cleaners are police-checked, and we carry $20 million public liability cover with certificates available to your landlord on request.

End of lease cleaning Paddington — FAQs
How much is an end of lease clean in Paddington?
One-off vacate work is charged at $40 to $50 per hour and quoted as a fixed total after a walkthrough. A small Oxford Street shopfront of forty to sixty square metres usually lands between $450 and $850, while a two-level terrace office runs higher because of stairs, sash windows and original joinery.
What if the agent or landlord is not happy?
We re-attend free of charge for anything on our written scope that the agent flags at inspection. Book the clean at least two days before your handover date so there is room for a re-attend without putting your final inspection at risk.
When should the clean happen relative to the defit?
Last. We should be the final trade on site, after shopfitters have removed fixtures, signage has come down and any patch-and-paint has cured. Cleaning before the defit finishes means paying twice, which is the single most common mistake tenants make.
Do you handle heritage terrace features?
Yes, and Paddington is full of them. Original floorboards, cast-iron lacework, pressed-metal ceilings, sash windows and marble fireplace surrounds all need pH-neutral or specific-purpose products rather than a general degreaser. Getting this wrong is how tenants lose a bond on a building they otherwise left in good order.
Can you clean after hours so we keep trading until handover?
Yes. Retailers on Oxford Street and William Street routinely trade to the last day of the lease, so we work the night before or the morning of handover. Weekend and public holiday work is available by arrangement at the same rate.
