House Cleaning Services in Wellington

The same cleaner, the day you agreed, working to your list.

Absolute Domestics has been placing private cleaners in New Zealand homes for over 30 years. In Wellington that means one person who learns your home rather than a different face every fortnight. You set the hours, you set the priorities, and there is no contract holding you to it.

Cleaners who know Wellington homes

Wellington houses ask more of a cleaner than most.

  • Hillside villas through Mount Victoria, Wadestown and Roseneath come with stairs, narrow entries and street parking that is gone by half past eight.
  • Apartments across Te Aro and the CBD need someone who can work with a lift and a swipe fob.
  • Family homes in Karori, Khandallah and Johnsonville have the room, and also the mud, the dog and the school bags.
  • Down on the south coast, Island Bay and Lyall Bay houses collect salt on furniture and fittings and grit through the door every time the southerly gets up.

We match you with a cleaner who already works in your part of the city. Travel time does not eat into your booking, and your regular slot holds throughout the year

Cleaning services available in Wellington

Select the service that works best for you:

Regular Clean

From

$99*

2 hrs

Weekly or fortnightly, with the same cleaner each visit. Most Wellington households book two or three hours and run a rotation: kitchen, bathrooms, floors and dusting every time, then the oven, the windowsills or the fridge on a cycle. You decide what matters and you can change it any week without renegotiating anything.
*Pricing does vary according to your suburb location.

*Pricing does vary according to your suburb location.
One-Off Clean​
Reset your home with move-out, spring, and catch-up cleans​

$210

for 3 hrs

One-Off Clean

From

$255

3 hrs

A single booking for the hard jobs. Wellington customers use a one-off before an end or lease, spring clean, house goes to market, after a renovation, ahead of Christmas, or when you just need a catch up. Three to five hours is recommended so there is time to do the job properly rather than skim it.
End of Tenancy Clean (Bond Clean)
For tenants moving out and need a deep clean. Book it once you know when the furniture is out so nothing gets missed behind it. Some tenants and agents call this a bond clean or a move out clean. It is the same job.

Whats included in a Wellington clean:

Kitchen: benches, splashback, sink and taps, stovetop, exterior of appliances, cupboard fronts, floor

Bathrooms: shower and screen, bath, toilet, basin, mirrors, tiles, floor

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much does a house cleaner cost in Wellington?

A regular clean starts from two hours a fortnight or a week, and a one-off clean starts from three hours. Rates vary slightly by suburb and by what the job involves. Get an immediate quote online and book, pay after the clean, so there is no deposit and nothing charged up front. Use our online booking form, enter in your suburb/location and the system will give you a price.

Yes. On a regular clean you are matched with one cleaner who comes back each week or fortnight. They learn the house, so you stop leaving notes after the first few visits. If the match is not right, tell your coordinator and we will find someone else without you having to start over.

All suburbs of Wellington city from Tawa through to Seatoun, plus the Hutt Valley, Wainuiomata, Porirua, Whitby, Plimmerton and the Kapiti Coast as far as Waikanae. Availability depends on which cleaners are working near you, so enter your postcode when you book and we will confirm what we can offer in your area.

No. Most Wellington clients are at work. You can arrange a key, a lockbox or building access with your cleaner once you have met them. Plenty of people are home for the first walk through the house and set priorities, then leave them to it from then on.

Tell us at booking if your street has resident-only parking or no realistic space, for example parts of Mount Victoria, Aro Valley, Newtown and Oriental Bay. We match you with a cleaner who can get to you, and if a permit or a visitor pass is needed you would need to supply it. It is not a reason we will turn a booking down.

Yes. Te Aro, the CBD and Kilbirnie apartments are a large part of what we do in Wellington. Let us know at booking how building access works, whether that is a fob, a code, a concierge or a building manager, and your cleaner will sort the arrangement with you at the first visit.

You’ll love weekly, it suits most Wellington households and is the more common booking.

Having a weekly clean makes sense for busy families and professional couples, pets that shed, a large house or people working from home full time. Start with weekly and change if you want to. There is no penalty for changing.

Yes. Cleaners are police checked and background checked before they are matched with a household, and work is covered by public liability insurance.

I feel supported, not managed.

“I’ve worked on my own before, and it was stressful dealing with everything myself. With Absolute Domestics, I still choose my hours and clients, but I always have someone to help if something comes up. It feels like I’m running my own business without being left on my own.”

The flexibility actually works in real life.

“I’m a mum and I needed work that fits around school hours. Absolute Domestics made that possible. I can take school holidays off, increase my work when I want, and never feel pressured to do more than I’m comfortable with.”
