End of tenancy cleaning
Cleaned to the standard the final inspection is actually measured against, so the handover is a formality rather than an argument.

If a property has tested positive for methamphetamine residue, it needs stripping, washing and retesting before anyone moves back in. We handle the decontamination work.
Meth residue is invisible. It settles into paint, gib, carpet, curtains and ventilation, and it does not clear on its own. The only way to know a property is safe is a laboratory test before the work and an independent clearance test after it.
We do not carry out the testing ourselves, and we would be wary of anyone who offers to test, decontaminate and then clear their own work. We work from an independent test report, decontaminate to what that report says is contaminated, and then you get the property retested by an independent sampler.
For landlords, this matters beyond health. Tenancy law puts obligations on you around contaminated premises, and a clearance report is the document that closes the file.
Scope depends entirely on the contamination levels in the test report.
Skipping any of these leaves you without a defensible result.
A qualified sampler tests the property and issues a report with levels by room.
We price the decontamination against what that report says is contaminated.
Removal, washdown and sealing, with the property contained while we work.
An independent sampler retests. That report is what proves the property is safe.
You do not, without a test. Discoloured or sticky residue on surfaces, chemical odours or reports of unusual activity are reasons to test, but plenty of contaminated properties show nothing at all.
No, and we would not recommend using anyone who does both. Use an independent sampler for the test and the clearance so the result stands up.
Residue can transfer from surfaces to skin and can be absorbed. Reported effects in people living in contaminated properties include headaches, nausea, breathing difficulty and skin and throat irritation.
Not necessarily. Low level contamination is often dealt with by washdown alone. Higher levels can mean carpet, curtains, gib linings and ventilation components have to go.
Do not enter without protection, contact the police, and arrange a test. If a Prohibition Notice is issued, follow it.
A light washdown can be a day or two. A property needing removal of linings and ceilings runs considerably longer. We give you a timeframe with the quote.
