About Us

Big Enough to Deliver — Local Enough to Care

We're a family-owned Newcastle business with the scale and equipment to tackle any job — and the heart of a local team that still knows your name. For over 35 years, we've shown up for our community in the moments that matter most: after a flood, before a settlement, when the kids' allergies flare up, or simply when it's time for a fresh, healthy home. That's not just what we do — it's who we are.

What We Do

Our Core Services

Four specialist divisions covering everything from routine cleaning to emergency restoration.

Cleaning Services

Professional cleaning for carpets, rugs, upholstery, hard floors and more — for homes and businesses across the Hunter Region.

Pest Control Services

Effective, safe pest management for homes and businesses — from routine treatments to termite inspections and pre-purchase reports.

Restoration Services

24/7 emergency response for water, fire, mould and structural damage — backed by IICRC-certified technicians and insurance-ready reporting.

Consultancy & Buyers Agent Services

Expert guidance on flooring selection and independent insurance claim advice — helping you make the right decisions with confidence.

Service in Focus

End of Lease Specialists

End-to-End Bond Cleaning, Carpet Cleaning & Pest Control Management

Moving out shouldn't mean coordinating three different contractors. Our End of Lease Specialists manage the entire bond return process — deep bond cleaning, truck-mounted carpet extraction and licensed pest control with certificate — all from a single, trusted provider. One quote, one visit, one team. We work against the real estate bond checklist to ensure every surface, every room and every lease requirement is met, so you get your full bond back without the stress.

Clear Scope

What Is Included, and What Is Quoted Separately

We cover cleaning, pest control, restoration and advisory work — four different scopes under one business, each with its own inclusions. This is the boundary of each one, stated plainly.

Cleaning & surface care

  • Carpet, rugs, upholstery, mattresses and leather
  • Tile, grout, hard floors, ovens and coolrooms
  • End of lease and pre-sale presentation cleans

Quoted separately: Repairs to flooring or structure, and any item needing a licensed trade — scoped under restoration instead.

Pest control

  • General internal and external pest spray with a 6-month internal warranty
  • Termite and pre-purchase inspections with written reports
  • Scheduled commercial pest programs

Quoted separately: Termite treatments, fumigation and rodent programs are quoted after inspection, not included in a general spray.

Restoration & emergency

  • 24/7 make-safe, water extraction, structural drying and moisture monitoring
  • Fire, smoke and mould remediation with contents handling
  • Insurance-ready reporting, photographs and moisture logs

Quoted separately: Reinstatement works — building repair, demolition, waste removal and flooring supply and installation — are quoted as a separate line within the same claim.

Consultancy & buyers agency

  • Independent advice on carpet, rug and hard flooring selection
  • Independent insurance claim advisory and scope review

Quoted separately: This is advisory work only; the products and installation it recommends are quoted separately.

Not sure which one your job falls under? Describe it in the quote request or call 02 4954 2600 — every job is scoped and priced in writing before work starts, and nothing outside that written scope is billed.

Straight Answers

How Our Pricing Works

Cleaning and restoration are priced on measured quantity, not on a package you cannot see into. Here is exactly how a Custom Dry figure is built, what every quote includes, and the fixed prices we publish up front — so you can estimate your job before you call 02 4954 2600.

1. We measure the job

Carpet and hard floors are priced per square metre, seating per seat, carpets and rugs per item. We measure rather than guess, so the quote matches the work.

2. You choose the service level

Each surface has defined levels — for example Standard, Maintenance, Natural Stone or Deluxe restoration on tile. The level sets the number of steps and the price.

3. You set the frequency

Once-off, or scheduled visits per year. Ongoing contracts carry a term discount, so the same work costs less per visit than a single ad hoc booking.

Triple Bundle — 3 services in one visit

Measured work — carpet, hard floors, upholstery, pest treatments and restoration — is quoted on the day from your own measurements, because a 40 m² apartment and a 400 m² site cannot carry the same rate.

Included in every quote

  • Pre-vacuuming, pre-treatment and spot and stain treatment on every job
  • Truck-mounted hot water extraction and air movers for faster drying
  • Deodorising, grooming and a written record of products used
  • All figures quoted inclusive of GST, with no additions after the fact
  • Written quote issued before any work begins — the quote itself is free
  • Insurance-ready reporting and photographs on restoration work

Carpet Cleaning

Pest Control

"My leather lounge set was looking terrible after years of use. The technician worked a miracle — it looks like the day I bought it. The truck-mounted system they use is clearly superior. Fantastic result."
