Before you hire

Reliability and communication matter more than price for regular house cleaning. Ask whether the same cleaner attends each visit, what happens if they cancel, and whether they are insured for accidental damage. A trial clean before committing to a regular booking is reasonable to ask for.

Before you book a house cleaner in Wellington

Drawn from 179 customer reviews collected for this page. The first answer is what it costs.

What do house cleaners typically charge in New Zealand? expand_more

Wellington house cleaners sit at the higher end of the NZ range, with hourly rates running from $35 to $55 in 2025. End-of-tenancy and one-off deep cleans cost more per hour than regular fortnightly visits, and some operators quote a flat rate per job instead. A standard two to three bedroom home deep clean might run $200 to $400 depending on condition, size, and whether products are supplied. Regular weekly or fortnightly bookings often attract a lower rate because the home stays in better condition between visits.

What background checks should a cleaning company do on their staff? expand_more

A reputable cleaning company should be able to tell you whether staff have been police-vetted through the New Zealand Police vetting process, and whether the company is a registered requesting agency authorised to obtain those reports. Reference checks and supervised trial periods are also standard practice among established operators, and you are entitled to ask about both before anyone enters your home. If you are hiring a sole trader rather than a company, ask directly whether they have undergone any vetting and request a reference from a previous client you can actually contact. The trust signals in Wellington reviews, including notes about reliable and trustworthy teams, suggest that smaller operators who are upfront about their vetting practices tend to build stronger long-term client relationships.

What insurance should a house cleaner have, and why does it matter? expand_more

Public liability insurance is the minimum you should expect, covering accidental property damage or injury caused while the cleaner is working in your home, with cover of at least $1 million being a reasonable baseline. One Wellington review described property damage that occurred during an exterior wash, which shows how quickly an uninsured incident can become a costly dispute. Ask for a certificate of currency before work starts, not just a verbal assurance, because a policy that has lapsed offers no protection.

What are the warning signs of a house cleaner you shouldn't hire? expand_more
  • –Poor or slow communication before the job starts is a consistent red flag, with some Wellington reviewers waiting weeks for a quote that was promised within 48 hours.
  • –Vague inclusions at booking time often lead to disputed results, such as gutters paid for but never cleared.
  • –No follow-up or response when you raise a complaint after the job points to a company that will not stand behind its work.
  • –Damaged property that a provider tries to avoid acknowledging, including scraped paintwork or broken fittings left without explanation, signals a lack of accountability.
  • –Staff turnover or workers walking off jobs mid-contract is a warning that the operator has internal management problems that will affect your job.
  • –Operators who do not give you advance notice when they are running late or will not show up at all waste your time and leave you with no fallback option.
What should you ask before hiring a house cleaner? expand_more
  • –Ask exactly what is included in the standard clean and what costs extra, because items like oven cleaning, window tracks, and carpet cleaning are often add-ons.
  • –Ask whether the same cleaner or team will attend each visit, since continuity matters for both quality and security.
  • –Ask what happens if you are not satisfied, and whether a re-clean or partial refund is offered without a dispute process.
  • –Ask whether they supply their own products and equipment, or whether you need to provide anything, as this affects both cost and chemical compatibility with your surfaces.
  • –Ask how they handle scope changes on the day, for example if they find the property is in worse condition than expected, so you are not surprised by a higher invoice.
  • –Ask for confirmation of public liability insurance cover before anyone enters your property.
