Affordable Inner Suburb with Easy CBD Access
St James is a well-connected inner suburb bordering Victoria Park and Bentley, with excellent Perth CBD access via the Causeway and good transport links. It's a diverse, accessible suburb popular with young professionals, students and families who value affordable inner-city living with good local schools and transport connections.
The housing stock is predominantly 1950s-60s post-war homes — fibro and brick cottages with compact layouts and generous blocks, many renovated with updated kitchens and bathrooms, with some infill townhouses and units on subdivided blocks. Original properties often need deeper cleaning of ageing surfaces, older appliances and compact spaces that show every mark.
Our house cleaning teams are experienced with post-war cottages. We work to a thorough room-by-room checklist and a consistent standard whether you book us weekly, fortnightly, monthly or for a one-off deep clean.

Regular, One-Off or Deep Clean — What's Right for St James
Most St James clients choose one of three service types depending on how they use their home and how much help they want. Here's how they differ so you can pick the right fit.
Regular Cleaning
Weekly, fortnightly or monthly visits that keep your home consistently clean. Best for busy households who want to stay on top of things without thinking about it.
One-Off Cleaning
A single top-to-bottom clean — ideal before guests, after a renovation, or when you simply need a reset. Same checklist, no ongoing commitment.
Deep Cleaning
A more thorough clean targeting areas regular cleans don't reach — inside ovens, behind appliances, inside cupboards, skirtings, and detailed bathroom descaling. Popular annually.
Spring or Pre-Event Clean
A focused refresh before a special occasion or season — combine general cleaning with window cleaning and an outdoor tidy for a fully presentable home.
Post-War Cottages — What's Often Overlooked
St James's older cottages have a few trouble spots that need specialist attention. These are the areas we focus on.
Older Kitchens
Ovens and rangehoods that haven't been properly degreased in years. We soak and degrease thoroughly.
Ageing Grout & Sealant
Original bathroom tiles and sealant need careful descaling. We treat aged grout gently.
Compact Spaces
Small rooms show dust and marks. We edge and detail thoroughly.
Older Wall Surfaces
We wipe fibro and aged brick walls carefully to avoid damaging older surfaces.
High Ceilings & Cobwebs
Post-war builds gather cobwebs up high. We reach ceilings, fans and cornices.
If It's Not Up to Standard, We'll Fix It
We stand behind every house cleaning visit. If you're not happy with any area we've cleaned, let us know within 48 hours and we'll return to re-clean it at no extra charge. It's that simple.
Our cleaners are trained, insured and police-checked, and we assign consistent cleaners to your home so they learn your preferences over time. You get the same friendly faces, the same standard, and the same peace of mind every visit.
How to Get the Most from Your Clean
A little preparation helps us work efficiently and deliver the best result.
Tidy Surfaces
A quick tidy of benches and floors lets us spend our time cleaning, not decluttering.
Note Your Priorities
Tell us if there are areas you'd like us to focus on — we'll allocate time accordingly.
Keep Access Clear
Leave a key, organise a lockbox, or have someone let us in. We can also hold a key securely for regular clients.
Pets
Let us know about pets so we can plan around them. Most are fine; we just need to know who's home.
Feedback Welcome
After the first clean, let us know anything you'd like done differently. We'll adjust for next time.
