Fairy Meadow is a mix the Illawarra does well: post-war brick and fibro houses on quiet streets, a growing run of townhouses and units along the Princes Highway, and a steady student population spilling north from the university. It rents constantly, and the stock ranges from original 1950s homes to near-new duplexes.
Older homes here still carry their original kitchens and bathrooms, which means ovens, rangehoods and grout that need serious time. The newer townhouses are quicker but agents expect them returned close to as-new, so walls, tracks and skirting get checked properly. Either way the inspection runs off the agent's exit checklist, not a feeling about how the place looks.
What a Fairy Meadow bond clean covers
The scope follows standard agent checklists rather than a promise about your bond:
- Full oven, cooktop and rangehood degrease
- Cupboards and drawers inside and out, bench tops and splashback
- Bathrooms descaled, shower screens and tiles scrubbed
- Windows, sills, tracks and screens
- Walls spot cleaned, skirting boards and switches wiped
- Light fittings, ceiling fans and exhaust vents dusted
- Floors vacuumed and mopped throughout
Pricing depends on size and condition. A two bedroom townhouse and a four bedroom family home sit well apart, and condition moves the number further than size does. Treat any figure as guide pricing only and see our bond cleaning cost guide for typical ranges.
Add carpet steam cleaning for carpeted bedrooms, a deeper bathroom and tile clean if the grout needs it, or a move in clean on the place you are heading to. See end of lease cleaning for the base scope and last minute bond cleans if time is short.
We also cover nearby North Wollongong, Towradgi and Mount Ousley.
Frequently asked questions
My rental is an older house with the original kitchen. Will it come up?
Most do, and well. Worn enamel, etched oven glass and aged benchtops will improve without coming back to new, and that is wear and tear rather than dirt. A good cleaner says so before starting.
Do the cleaners do garages and carports?
A garage sweep out is usually quoted as an add-on rather than included, so say upfront if you want it covered. It is a common item on exit checklists for houses here.
Can the cleaner guarantee my bond?
No one can. Your agent and landlord decide against the condition report. The cleaners we work with clean to the agent's checklist, which is the standard the inspection uses.
