Pricing Factors
What Affects Your Final Price
The size-based prices above are a starting point. A few things move your actual quote up or down.
Property Size
More rooms and bathrooms mean more surface area and time, the single biggest factor in any quote.
Condition
Heavy grease, wet-season mould, or a property that hasn’t had a deep clean in a while takes longer.
Furnished vs Empty
Belongings still in place slow the clean down compared to a fully empty property.
Add-Ons Needed
Carpet cleaning, pressure cleaning and mould treatment are quoted separately from the base clean.
What’s Included in the Base Price?
Every price above covers the full REIQ-standard bond clean, kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas and internal windows. Carpet cleaning, pressure cleaning and mould treatment are quoted separately as add-ons. See the complete breakdown of what’s included versus what costs extra.

Is Bond Cleaning More Expensive in Mackay?
Not particularly. Here’s how Mackay pricing stacks up nationally.
Across Australia, a standard 2-bedroom bond clean generally lands between $250 and $400, with a 3-bedroom home typically running $450 to $700. Our Mackay rates, $500 for a 2-bedroom and $650 for a 3-bedroom, sit right inside those national bands, not above them.
What can push a quote higher here is Mackay’s wet season, properties cleaned after heavy rain sometimes need extra attention around bathroom grout and silicone where mould has had a chance to take hold, and during crushing season, cane ash can add extra work to window tracks and outdoor areas. We factor both into a quote honestly upfront rather than adding it on unexpectedly at the end.

How to Get an Accurate Quote
Give Us the Real Size
Bedrooms, bathrooms, and whether it’s a unit or house. Underquoting the size just means the price adjusts on the day.
Be Upfront About Condition
Mould, heavy grease, or areas that haven’t been cleaned in a while, mentioning it helps us quote accurately from the start.
Book Ahead Where You Can
Last-minute bookings around peak move-out periods can be tighter on availability. Booking a little early gives more flexibility on timing.
Pricing Questions
Cost Guide FAQs
Why do bond cleaning quotes vary so much between companies?+
Mostly because “bond clean” isn’t a standard fixed scope, some quotes only cover a basic surface clean, others include the full REIQ checklist with oven, windows and skirting boards. Always check what’s actually included before comparing two numbers side by side.
Is the cheapest bond cleaning quote in Mackay the best choice?+
Not usually. A price well below the going rate often means less time on-site, fewer inclusions, or no guarantee behind it, which risks a failed inspection and paying for a second clean. A fair mid-range quote backed by a real guarantee is typically better value overall.
Does carpet or pressure cleaning cost extra?+
Yes, both are quoted separately from the base bond clean. Many Mackay leases require carpet cleaning as its own line item with a separate receipt. See our carpet cleaning page for details.
Will I be charged more on the day if the property is dirtier than expected?+
Your price is confirmed before we start, based on the size and condition you describe when booking. Being upfront about condition, mould, heavy grease, how long since it’s been deep cleaned, is what keeps the final price matching the quoted price.
Are there cancellation fees if my move-out date changes?+
Ask us directly when booking, terms are confirmed upfront so there’s no surprise if your dates shift, which happens often with lease handovers.
How can I get the most accurate quote possible?+
Give us the real property size, mention any problem areas honestly, and check your lease for required add-ons like carpet cleaning before you call. See our full bond cleaning checklist to see exactly what’s being quoted for.
