What's in a good House Cleaning quote?

A good quote spells out how the job is priced and what's covered (labour, materials, prep and clean-up), so you're comparing like for like. Check what each house cleaner's quote covers before you choose.

Worth knowing: getting two or three quotes is the simplest way to land a fair price, and it costs you nothing.

Frequently asked questions

Hiring house cleaners

How much do house cleaners typically charge?
Cleaning costs vary widely depending on the job type, property size and how much labour and specialist products are required. Simple regular cleans are generally much less than deep, builders or end-of-lease cleans that need extra time or treatments. The page shows live pricing for your area to help you compare quotes.
Do house cleaners charge call-out fees?
Many house cleaners include a call-out or minimum attendance fee to cover travel and initial assessment, and this is often shown separately from hourly labour charges. After-hours, weekend or urgent bookings commonly attract higher rates or multipliers. Always check quotes to see what is included and whether a call-out fee applies.
What qualifications should I look for in a house cleaner?
Cleaning work doesn't require a government licence, but look for industry memberships such as ACCA, CCA or BSCAA, proof of an active ABN and adequate public liability insurance. A current national police check is often requested for in-home access. These signals can help you assess professionalism and trustworthiness.
Is it cheaper to hire a House Cleaner or do it yourself in New South Wales?
DIY can cut upfront costs on smaller jobs, but a professional brings the right tools, finish, and turnaround. Compare quotes from local house cleaners in New South Wales to see what the job is worth before you decide.
Do house cleaners in New South Wales do one-off jobs or regular visits?
Both. Most house cleaners in New South Wales handle one-off jobs, and many also offer regular or scheduled visits, often at a better rate than booking each time. Compare local house cleaners and ask what a regular plan includes before you book.

Using SureQuote

Is the SureQuote estimate a quote, and why can a tradie's quote be different?
No. Your estimate is a guide price for a typical job that matches your answers. A tradie prices your actual job in their quote, once they've seen things like access, condition, materials and the full scope. Read the full answer
What happens after I submit my job, and how many tradies will contact me?
We email you your estimate and a link to your job. Up to 3 local tradies can take it and contact you to quote; only they get your name, phone and email, and you choose who to hire, if anyone. Read the full answer
Is it free to get quotes, and does the tradie's fee raise my price?
Yes, getting quotes is free and you don't have to hire anyone. Tradies pay us a capped fee to take your job, and we set it before they quote, so nothing is added to your quote. Read the full answer
Can I add photos to my job?
Yes. Add up to 10 photos in the chat after you give your contact details, or later from the job in Hire, and tradies see them before they take the job. Read the full answer
Do I have to hire one of the tradies?
No. Getting quotes is free, you're never obliged to hire anyone, and you pay only the tradie you choose to hire. Read the full answer
Does SureQuote check tradies' licences and insurance?
We collect each business's ABN, licence, insurance and warranty details and keep them as up to date as we can, so you can see them in one place on its profile. We don't guarantee them, so always check the licence yourself on the relevant licence register before you hire. Read the full answer
