Between tenants, before a sale, or after a section’s been left for a season — a clean-up visit is about getting a property back to a presentable standard in one go, not an ongoing maintenance plan. Ōhauiti’s mix of established rental stock near the shops and freshly finished hillside new builds means clean-ups here can mean very different things depending on the property. We scope it properly and give a fixed price before starting.
Tell us the situation and rough timeframe and we’ll scope a fixed price.
A rental turnover and an overgrown section are different jobs.
A property maintained until recently is a quick tidy. One left several months is a much bigger job across lawn, garden and rubbish.
A tenancy turnover usually needs a fast, thorough general tidy. A sale prep leans harder on presentation and kerb appeal, especially where there’s a view to show off.
Rental turnovers especially can involve dumped rubbish alongside overgrown lawn and garden, which changes the scope significantly.
Property managers need a number they can act on, not an estimate.
An hourly rate on an unseen property is a guess dressed up as a quote — nobody actually knows how long an overgrown section takes until someone’s standing in it.
We assess the site first, whether that’s photos sent through or a quick visit, and give a fixed price before any work starts. What’s approved is what gets invoiced.
That matters most for property managers working through multiple properties. A fixed number is something that can be approved on the spot and passed on to an owner without a follow-up call.
If something genuinely changes the scope once we’re on site — say, rubbish nobody mentioned — we’ll stop and confirm before continuing, not just run the clock.
Lawn, garden and rubbish, handled in one coordinated visit.
Scoped before we start — the fixed price covers exactly what was agreed, nothing more, nothing less.
Photos are standard on every clean-up. Property managers and owners get a clear before-and-after record without having to visit the site themselves.
Ōhauiti runs from a settled, flatter core to sections still being built out on the hill.
An established Ōhauiti rental near Ohauiti Road can build up a neglected lawn and garden fairly quickly between tenancies, sometimes with rubbish left behind too. A clean-up on a hillside new-build section is a different job — often the first tidy since handover, clearing leftover builders’ debris and getting a freshly turfed lawn presentable for its first open home or tenancy, with the view usually doing a lot of the selling once the section’s tidy.
We scope from what’s actually on site, not the property type alone. Two clean-ups can need very different amounts of work regardless of how new or established the section is.
Fixed once we’ve looked. Green waste and GST are both already in it.
Photos or a quick site visit get you an accurate fixed price fast. Property managers can send photos through and usually have a number back the same day.
Driven by tenancy cycles and property sales as much as the season.
Tenancy turnovers don’t follow the growing season. Demand tracks lease cycles and sale listings year-round, and handover clean-ups on hillside new-build sections add a steady stream of their own on top of that.
We manage a handful of rentals around Ōhauiti and these guys have become our go-to for turnovers — fixed price agreed before they start, photos sent through when it’s done, invoiced straight to the office. One property had been left for months and they still had it presentable within a day.
Mostly about the job rather than about us, which is how it should be.
Yes, we regularly invoice property managers directly rather than the tenant or owner.
Urgent turnovers can often be scheduled within 24 to 48 hours, depending on current bookings.
Yes, photos are included as standard on every clean-up visit.
Yes, every price we give includes GST.
Yes, a first tidy after handover is a common job — clearing any leftover debris and getting the lawn and beds presentable.
We’ll stop and confirm any change in scope with you before continuing, rather than just running the job longer.
Yes, rubbish removal is included where it’s part of the agreed scope.
It’s a one-off by design — clean-ups are fixed-price single visits, with no ongoing commitment required.
Most people add one or two of these, since we’re already on the property.
