Pre-sale cleanups Perth
Pre-sale cleanups in Perth, every job done by one crew.
Roof, gutters, windows, driveway, yard and inside the house. Because one crew does the lot, it costs less than hiring each job out separately, and you deal with one point of contact instead of five.
Presentation
Buyers have made their mind up before they reach the door
They see the street view first, then the driveway, then the front of the house. A place that looks cared for gets walked through slowly. A place that does not gets a quick lap and a low offer.
What they are reacting to
A stained driveway, a roof gone dark with lichen, a film across the windows and a yard that looks like hard work. None of it is structural, all of it is fixable in a few days, and all of it is cheap next to what it costs you in offers.
What's included
Whatever presentation needs, in one visit
Every cleanup is built around your property. Some need the lot, some need three things done well. We tell you which on the walkthrough.
- Gutter cleaning, with a roof condition check
- Roof cleaning, by soft wash or pressure clean
- Driveways, paths and patios pressure cleaned
- Render, cladding and fences soft washed
- Windows inside and out, sills, frames and flyscreens
- Solar panels cleaned
- Yard cleanup, mowing, pruning, weeding and mulching
- Rubbish and green waste removed from site
- Interior cleaning, including showers, bathrooms and full house
- Small handyman fixes, dripping taps, touch-up paint, odd jobs
What we do not do
Licensed trade work. No electrical, no plumbing beyond a washer in a tap, no roof restoration or structural repair. If something needs a licensed trade we will tell you and photograph it, so you can get the right person in before settlement rather than have it come up in a building inspection.
Why one crew
Cheaper and faster than hiring it out separately
The hard part of getting a house ready to sell is rarely the work itself. It is the coordinating.
Booking it separately
- A different business to find, ring and chase for every job
- A different day and a different lot of access for each one
- An invoice from each, on their own payment terms
- One cancels and your whole timeline moves
- Every one of them charges a full callout to set up and pack down
- Nobody is responsible for the property as a whole
Booking it with us
- One walkthrough, one written quote covering everything
- One crew, most jobs knocked over in a single visit
- One point of contact for the whole project, and one business accountable for the lot
- One invoice at the end
- We set up once, so you pay one callout instead of one per trade
- If something changes you get one phone call
What that saves you
One setup instead of one per trade
Every business you hire separately builds a callout into its price. We are already on site with the gear out, so the second, third and fourth job cost you less than they would on their own. That comes off your quote rather than staying in our pocket.
How it works
Four steps, built around your date
Tell us when the place needs to be ready and we work backwards from that.
Tell us your timeline
Your first home open, listing date or settlement date, whichever you have. Ring or send the form and we will get out to you.
We walk it with you
Free, about 30 minutes, inside and out, and nothing to sign. We tell you what is worth doing, what is not, and what a buyer will notice. If the place already presents well we will say so rather than invent a list.
One written quote
Everything itemised so you can take the lot or cut it back. No pressure on the day and no follow up if it is not for you.
Done before you need it
Booked to land ahead of your date, not on top of it. Photos come through with the invoice so you can see it from wherever you are.
Worth knowing
What moves the needle
Not everything is worth doing before a sale. These are the jobs that change how a property reads, in rough order of impact for the money.
- The driveway and front pathThe first thing anyone walks across on the way in. Usually the biggest visual change for the smallest spend.
- The roof, if it has gone darkA lichen-covered roof reads as a house that has been neglected, and it is visible in every aerial and street shot.
- Windows, inside and outClean glass makes every room read brighter, and it is one of the first things people notice from inside.
- The yard and the bedsOvergrown reads as work. Mulched beds and cut edges read as looked after, even if nothing else changed.
- Gutters, for the inspection more than the photosNobody comes to look at a gutter. But a building inspector does, and blocked gutters raise questions about what else was left.
- Showers and wet areasThe rooms buyers scrutinise hardest, and the ones where a build-up of soap scum does the most damage to an impression.
Being straight with you
Does a cleanup get you a better price?
Nobody can promise that, and anyone who puts a percentage on it is guessing with your money. Three things we think are true.
It gets the listing more attention
Buyers scroll listings in a couple of seconds. A clean roof, a clean driveway and bright windows stop the scroll, and a home open with fifteen people in it feels different to one with three.
It closes down a line of thinking
The one that matters. A buyer who sees blocked gutters and a lichen-covered roof starts wondering what else has been left, and that question follows them through every room and into their offer.
It gives them nothing to negotiate with
Visible neglect is leverage. It gets pointed at during negotiation and written into building inspection reports. A property with nothing obviously wrong is harder to talk down.
What we will not tell you. That a cleanup adds a specific percentage to your sale price. Too many things move a price at once for anyone to isolate ours, and we are not going to invent a number to sell you a job.

0458 694 984How much does a pre-sale cleanup cost?
It depends entirely on the size of the property, its condition and how much needs doing, which is why we walk through it rather than quote blind. Some homes need three or four things sorted. Others need the whole property brought up to presentation standard inside and out. You get one set price for the agreed scope before anything starts.
Why do you need to visit when your other services do not?
Satellite imagery shows us a roof and a driveway. It cannot show us the inside of a shower, what is stacked down the side of the house, or the state of the garden beds. Guessing at that would mean a price that changes on the day, and we would rather not do that to you.
How far in advance should I book?
Ring us as soon as you know when the place needs to be ready. The earlier you call the more likely we can fit you exactly where you want, though we do our best with short notice too.
Do you clean inside the house as well?
Yes. Showers, bathrooms, full house cleaning, windows inside and out. Anything to do with how the property presents, we can handle in the same booking as the exterior.
Is bundling cheaper?
Yes, for a straightforward reason. A crew turning up once and working through a property costs less to run than four businesses each setting up and packing down on their own day. We pass that on rather than keep it, and booking the interior and exterior together comes in cheaper than booking them apart.
Do I have to take the whole package?
No. Plenty of people book two or three things and do the rest themselves. We will still tell you on the walkthrough what we think matters most, even if you only take part of it.
Can you fix things around the house too?
Small things, yes. Dripping taps, touch-up paint, odd jobs and minor landscaping. Anything needing a licensed trade, meaning electrical, plumbing or structural work, we will not touch, and we will tell you plainly so you can get the right person.
Will it get me a better price?
We will not put a number on it, because too many things move a property price at once for anyone to isolate ours. What we can say is that presentation affects how many people click your listing, how a home open feels, and whether a buyer starts wondering what else has been left. Anyone quoting you a percentage on this is guessing with your money.
What if the place is already in good shape?
We will tell you. Half of what a walkthrough does is ruling out jobs that will not change a single offer. We would rather quote you three things you need than ten you do not.
