Local insight
What stands out in Kensington.
Kensington tenancies are short. The median bond refunded for postcode 2033 from Jul 2025 to Jun 2026 had been held for only 11.9 months, about 55% of homes were rented at the 2021 Census, and about 71% of occupied homes were flats or apartments. The customers we cleaned for here, though, mostly kept a routine: of 429 visits from 2016 to March 2025, 55% were every 2 weeks and 20% weekly, and 61% of cleans were for 2-bedroom homes. Of our 65 households, 8 booked ten times or more. On a short lease, book the move-out clean as soon as the end date is set.

How we collect and count feedback
These figures count bookings and feedback recorded for addresses in Kensington. Repeat visits count separately, so cleans are not homes. Frequency shares use all recorded completed visits with a recognised frequency, including older history; they do not measure current demand. Customer records use distinct customer identifiers within one suburb, not verified home addresses, and are never summed across suburbs. Checked 14 October 2026.
Customer feedback is the rating a customer gave after a clean: each counts once, low scores included. Earlier feedback used “bad”, “OK” or “good”; those count as 2, 3 and 5 stars, the same equivalents we have always used. Comments quoted for Kensington are published comments from customers who rated the clean 4 or 5 stars. The average includes every rating.
Google reviews are a separate source, shown as the Sydney listing reports them, and are never averaged together with our customer feedback. Across all locations: 4.6 / 5 from 9,890 customer feedback ratings; 4.7 / 5 from 781 reviews on our 6 Google listings.
