Aircon cleaning and mould removal in Randwick

Two thirds of Randwick homes are apartments and half of them are rented, which is the main reason units here go years without a clean. The person using it is not the person who owns it. We strip the unit back, treat the mould, flush the drain and put it back working properly.

Why Randwick is different

Why Randwick air conditioners get missed

Randwick is a renter's suburb, and the numbers are not close. Of 11,786 occupied dwellings, 8,047 are flats or apartments — 68.3%. Only 1,626 are separate houses. And 50.5% of households rent, the highest share of any suburb we work in.

The engine behind that is three hospitals and a university. The Randwick Hospitals' Campus — Prince of Wales, the Royal Hospital for Women and Sydney Children's — sits alongside the UNSW campus. Between them they fill the suburb with nurses, registrars, researchers and students, most of them renting, many of them on shift.

That creates a maintenance gap that has nothing to do with the machine. A tenant runs the split system every night after a late shift and assumes servicing is the landlord's job. The landlord has not been inside the unit since the last inspection and has no idea the barrel fan is black. Nobody is neglecting it on purpose. It simply belongs to no one.

Then the lease ends, and the next tenant inherits it.

Add the shift work. A unit in a Randwick one-bedder often runs through the day for someone sleeping off a night shift, then through the night for someone else. That is runtime a normal household would never put on a split system, on a machine nobody has opened in five years.

Warning signs to watch for

What happens when your aircon is not cleaned

  • Mould on the fan barrel. Dark growth on the blades and behind the front cover, in the damp that never fully dries.
  • A musty smell within minutes. Switch the unit on and the smell is back. That is the barrel, not the room.
  • Weaker airflow and slower cooling. A blocked filter and coil choke the air path, so the unit runs longer for the same result.
  • Higher running costs. A condenser that cannot shed heat makes the compressor work harder all summer.
  • Water dripping from the head. A blocked drain line backs up into the tray and then onto your wall.

Renting, or renting it out

Who pays for the clean in a Randwick rental

This is the question we are asked most in Randwick, so here is the honest answer.

Under the NSW rules a landlord has to provide and maintain the rental property in reasonable repair, judged against the age of the property, the rent being paid and how long the thing was expected to last. A tenant has to keep the place reasonably clean and report problems promptly.

The rules do not name air conditioning specifically, which is why it so often ends up in dispute. In practice it comes down to the lease and the managing agent. What we can tell you is what we see: a deep clean is maintenance rather than repair, and most agents treat it as the owner's cost when the unit came with the property.

We quote either way, and we are happy to send the invoice to the agent or the owner directly. Tell us who is paying when you book and we will bill the right party.

If you own a Randwick investment property, the cheapest version of this is a clean between tenancies. The unit is empty, we get straight access, and the next tenant does not start their lease with a complaint.

We had an excellent experience with Yoti and couldn’t be happier with his service! He did an exceptional job in cleaning our aircon unit, bathroom exhaust fan, and servicing/cleaning our fireplace and chimney - all in the one visit. We highly recommend Yoti - fantastic service from start to finish!

Quick and easy clean from Tom and Yoti! We’re all prepped for summer!

After a professional clean

What you will notice

  • Stronger, cleaner airflow. A coil and barrel that are clear move the air they were designed to move.
  • The musty smell goes. The smell lives on the fan barrel and in a blocked drain. We deal with both.
  • Fresher air for the whole family. Mould, dust and pet dander come out of the unit instead of circulating through the room.
  • A unit that works less hard. A clean coil sheds heat properly, so the compressor stops running long and hot to reach the same temperature.
  • A longer service life. Most of what kills a split system early is years of buildup nobody looked at.

Inside your unit

What we find inside Randwick air conditioners

  • Barrel fans coated black in units that have had four tenants and no service
  • Drain trays holding standing water in older walk-up blocks where the line was run with almost no fall
  • Filters that have been rinsed by a tenant but never removed properly, so the coil behind them has never been touched
  • Condensers on ground-level slabs in shared courtyards, packed with leaf litter from the block's own garden beds
  • Units still carrying the previous tenant's smell, which is the most common reason someone calls us in their first month in a new place
  • Ducted systems in the newer Kingsford and Kensington developments where the return air filter has never been pulled out since handover

How we clean and maintain your air conditioner

1

Send a photo

2

We protect the area

Drop sheets and a containment bag go under the unit before anything comes off the wall.

3

Cover, filters and fan barrel come off. The barrel, coil and housing are chemically cleaned and rinsed, and the drain line is flushed.

4

Tested, and we show you

The unit goes back together, gets a sanitising treatment, and we run it and check airflow and drainage in front of you.

About the suburb

About Randwick

Randwick sits about six kilometres south-east of the city centre, in the Randwick local government area. The 2021 Census counted 28,943 residents with a median age of 36 and an average household size of 2.2 — small households, mostly in apartments.

The suburb is older than its apartment blocks suggest. Randwick's Local Environmental Plan carries roughly 400 heritage items, and Victorian houses like Nugal Hall and Sandgate still stand among the walk-ups. The racecourse occupies the north-west corner and the hospital campus the south.

It is far enough back from the water that salt is less of a factor than it is in Coogee or Bondi, which means what loads up a Randwick unit is time and runtime rather than corrosion.

Common questions

Aircon cleaning in Randwick

I rent. Should I be paying for this, or my landlord?

Under the NSW rules the landlord has to keep the property in a reasonable state of repair, but the rules do not name air conditioning specifically, so it usually comes down to your lease and your agent. Most agents we deal with treat a deep clean as the owner's cost when the unit came with the property. We are happy to quote you and invoice the agent or owner directly — just tell us who is paying when you book.

Can you clean it without the owner or agent being there?

Yes. As long as you can let us in and get us to the condenser, we do not need anyone else present. Most of the Randwick jobs we do are booked by the tenant.

I just moved in and it smells. Is that normal?

It is the most common call we get in Randwick. A musty smell on startup is mould and biofilm on the coil and barrel fan, left by however many tenants came before you. Rinsing the filters will not shift it, because the filters are not where it lives.

My unit is in an older walk-up block. Is access a problem?

No. Older blocks are most of what we work on here. The condenser is usually on a ground-level slab or a small balcony, and we bring containment so nothing runs off onto anything below. If it sits in a shared courtyard or light well, mention it when you book so we can arrange access with the building.

How much does aircon cleaning cost in Randwick?

A split system deep clean starts at $249 + GST per unit, with 20% off your second unit. Ducted starts at $350 + GST and is quoted per property. The price is fixed before we arrive, and there is no call-out fee and no charge for the quote.

Do you do end-of-lease cleans?

Yes, and they are worth booking before the final inspection rather than after. A unit that smells is one of the easier things for an agent to raise, and it is a lot cheaper to clean it than to argue about it.

Do you cover Kingsford and Kensington?

Yes, along with Coogee, Clovelly, Maroubra, Daceyville and Centennial Park. Randwick is one of the areas we are in most weeks.

How long does a Randwick job take?

A single split system takes about an hour and a half to two hours including the outdoor unit. Two units in the same apartment take around three hours. Ducted takes longer and is quoted per property.
