End-of-Lease Cleaning Pricing Guide (New Zealand)

This guide provides a comprehensive pricing system tailored for New Zealand cleaning businesses involved in end-of-lease cleaning, including move-out, bond-return, and rental turnover services. It emphasizes the importance of considering various factors beyond just property size when quoting prices. Key considerations include: • Scope of work: End-of-lease cleaning often requires more detailed work than regular cleaning, including kitchens, bathrooms, and internal windows. • Compliance costs: Factors like GST, minimum wage, and ACC levies must be factored into pricing to ensure profitability. • Pricing formula: A clear formula is provided to help determine final pricing based on labor, supplies, travel, and other operational costs.

The guide also discusses the importance of effective intake questions before quoting, the differences between fixed and hourly pricing, and the necessity of a re-clean policy to protect margins. Additionally, it includes a 14-day pricing improvement plan to help cleaning business owners refine their pricing strategies and ensure they are competitive and profitable in the market.
