Meet The Trade Boss

One contact, Mel.

The Trade Boss is an Adelaide-based property services business. We coordinate cleaning, gardening, maintenance and rubbish removal through a team of specialist trades and services.

You deal with one contact, Mel. We quote, book the trades, oversee the work and sign it off.

Who we work with

The right team, in the right order.

You send us the brief, and we handle the rest: the right team, the right trades in the right order, and the sign-off when the job is complete.

Builders

Handover-ready, on schedule.

Defect cleans, site clean-ups and handover-ready presentation, delivered to your timeline. We work around your schedule, not the other way round.

Commercial

One call. Fully accountable.

Gardening, cleaning, carpets, windows, floors and repairs, all through one contact. If a standard slips or something extra is needed, you call me and I sort it. No chasing, no no-shows.

How we work

We assess. We coordinate. We deliver.

You outline the property and the outcome required. We work with you and your budget to assess the work accurately, then assign our local trades and services to complete the job, overseeing every step. No chasing. No no-shows. No callbacks.

Send us the brief

Call or email us with the property address and what’s needed.

We assess and quote

We confirm what the property needs, then prepare a quote. If you have a budget to work to, we scope the job around it.

We coordinate the trades

We book the right trades in the right order and manage access, timing and standard until the job is complete. You are kept informed throughout, by Mel and through our management system.

Signed off and reported

Keys handed back, job done. A Boss Report is available for every service, with time and date stamped photos of the work. No stress.

Services

Every property, managed start to finish.

Whether it's one service or several, every property is managed from start to finish and treated as it should be.

Cleaning

  • End of lease clean

    Bond back guarantee (conditions apply). Cleaned to the condition report.

  • Pre-sale and deep clean

    A thorough top-to-bottom clean of the whole property ahead of photography, inspections or a fresh start.

  • Presentation clean

    A lighter scheduled clean to keep the property presented at its best between deep cleans.

  • Oven detailing

    Racks, trays, glass and side runners removed and deep cleaned. Interior and exterior degreased and detailed.

  • Window and glass detailing

    Internal and external glass, frames, tracks and screens, including multi-level properties.

  • Carpet and upholstery

    Deep cleaning with commercial-grade extraction machinery.

  • Builders’ clean

    Once trades are off site: construction dust, debris, adhesive, paint and plaster residue removed from every surface, ready for the builder’s defect inspection.

  • Handover clean

    After defect works are complete: a final detailed clean and polish before practical completion inspection and the keys go to the client.

  • Post-construction tidy-ups

    For builders and renovators who don’t need the full clean: rubbish cleared, dust knocked down, a single room or area sorted.

  • Tile and grout restoration

    Grout deep cleaned, re-coloured or re-sealed. Tiles brought back without re-tiling.

Gardening

  • Mowing and edging

    Lawns mown and edges cut clean.

  • Hedge, shrub and tree trimming

    Hedges, shrubs and trees pruned to shape, with all cuttings removed.

  • Weeding and mulching

    Weeds removed or sprayed, mulch laid and green waste taken away.

  • One-off or regular

    A single visit or an ongoing schedule.

Maintenance

  • Repairs and make-good

    Patching, touch-ups and fixes.

  • Painting

    Interior and exterior painting by a fully qualified painter. Whole rooms or whole properties, not just touch-ups.

  • Handyman

    Fittings, fixtures and hardware replaced.

  • Bird deterrent

    Supply and installation.

Rubbish removal

  • General and green waste

    Removed and disposed of properly.

  • Property clear-outs

    Arranged alongside any other work.

We assess every property first and quote only for what it needs. No padding, and nothing missed.

Bond back guarantee: conditions
  1. The clean is completed at a vacant property, or the property is vacated on completion.
  2. A copy of the condition report is provided before we quote.
  3. Any issues are reported to us within 48 hours of the clean being completed and signed off.
  4. No other trades or persons attend the property between our clean and the issue being raised.
  5. We re-clean the flagged areas at no charge. This is a re-clean, not a refund.
  6. Access to the property is provided for the re-clean.
  7. Excludes pre-existing damage, wear and tear, permanent stains, mould, and anything outside the agreed quote.

★★★★★

“I have been working with Mel from The Trade Boss for a short time, and in that time, I have found Mel to be diligent, organised and very switched-on. Recently I engaged The Trade Boss for a large job at a property that had been abandoned that included gardening, full exit clean and rubbish removal within a tight timeframe. Everything was undertaken within a week and the attention to detail was great. Would definitely recommend Mel and the Trade Boss.”
TamiProperty Manager

★★★★★

“We recently used Mel from The Trade Boss and were extremely impressed with the results. The team was professional, punctual, and paid great attention to detail. They removed all construction dust, debris, and marks, leaving the property spotless and ready for handover. Their workmanship was outstanding, and communication throughout the process was excellent. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and thorough builder’s cleaner.”
Matthew KantariasBuilder’s clean

★★★★★

“Contacted initially to undertake an exit clean, however, once seen, quoted for a pre-sale clean as the unit was pretty clean. This not only saved a bit of money, but demonstrated honesty and integrity from the cleaner/owner of the business. Clearly communicated what was included in the quote, with the end result being one very clean unit ready to go on the market.”
