Hi, a 3-bedroom post-renovation clean usually needs two cleaners for 6 to 10 hours. Our builders' clean starts from NZ$307 before GST in Auckland. How many bedrooms and what floor area?

Post-renovation cleaning in New Zealand: prices and what to ask

A builders' clean after a renovation in New Zealand is quoted from NZ$307 to NZ$659 before GST for 1 to 5 bedrooms, and deep cleaning is about NZ$50 to NZ$70 an hour. The final price depends on size, condition and access, so the quickest way to a figure for your house is a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Builders' clean, 1 to 5 bedrooms (before GST)NZ$307 to NZ$659
Deep cleaning, per hourNZ$50 to NZ$70
Regular house cleaning, per hourNZ$45 to NZ$70

Ask whether a quote is hourly or fixed, and whether it includes GST, because the builders' clean figures are quoted before GST. A regular clean takes about three hours, while a renovation clean takes far longer, as the next section shows.

How long it takes and who cleans

A proper builders' clean for a three-bedroom renovation usually needs six to ten hours with two cleaners, not the three hours a regular clean takes. Ask how many cleaners will come, how many hours are in the quote, and what happens if the house needs more time. A larger house or heavy dust will take longer, so the quote should say what size it covers.

Licences, insurance and waste

No specific licence is needed to run a cleaning business in New Zealand, and no particular qualification is needed to become a cleaner, so the checks fall on you. Ask whether the cleaner carries insurance and what it covers if something is damaged. Waste removal after a renovation is a separate question: ask whether it is included in the price or charged on top.

Season and timing

Summer runs from December to February and winter from June to August. Plan the clean for the day after the last trades leave, so the cleaners do the work once. October 2026 is spring, a good time to book a clean before the summer months.

What to write in the request

  • Floor area and number of bedrooms
  • Type of premises and how dirty it is after the works
  • Windows, inside and out, and any extras
  • Whether waste removal is needed, and the suburb in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton or Tauranga

On BlaBlaPrice you describe the renovation in your own words in the chat, and you can attach a photo of the rooms. BlaBlaPrice's AI asks for missing details, looks through cleaning companies' websites and price lists in New Zealand, and shows the prices and businesses it finds. Cleaners registered on BlaBlaPrice receive the request and reply in the chat with their offer, terms and date. Your contact details stay hidden until you choose. For regular cleaning afterwards, see Home & house cleaning, and for glass, Window & facade cleaning.
