Salcedo Village and Legazpi Village sit in Makati's business district, close to the Ayala Avenue corridor. Both are established residential villages with a mix of detached houses, townhouses and low-rise apartments. A growing number of condominium towers stand along the main roads.
Work in these villages is shaped by two things: the access rules that govern each village and building, and narrow streets with limited parking. This page covers what to expect on a contractor visit, the housing types you will see, parking and truck access, the services people book most, and typical prices. The prices are estimates from published lists, not Taskly quotes.
Village and building access
Salcedo and Legazpi have a mix of gated village entrances, guarded residential buildings and open streets. Where a village has a gate, the guard commonly asks the contractor for a valid ID, the name of the homeowner and the house to be visited. The guard may also record the vehicle plate. Ask the homeowner to tell the guard in advance, so the entry is ready when the tasker arrives.
For condominium units, follow the same steps as in other Makati buildings: a visitor or contractor pass from the admin office, a valid ID at the lobby, and a check of the building's work hours. Many buildings and village associations commonly limit noisy work to daytime, and some restrict work on Sundays and holidays. Work that touches shared walls, a ceiling or a drain riser may need the admin's approval. Keep that approval, the pass and the job scope with the technician.
Typical housing
The older village streets have detached houses, and there are townhouses and duplex-style homes among them. Condominium units are in the taller buildings on the main roads. A house usually has its outdoor aircon condenser on a ground-level wall or a side yard, which makes access quicker. A condominium unit is more likely to have the condenser on a balcony or a shared ledge, and its drain can run through a building riser.
Older houses can have older wiring and plumbing. A declog or an electrical check can turn up a repair that needs a licensed electrician or plumber. Ask the tasker to tell you before doing more than the booked job. If there is a recurring leak or a damp patch, point it out to the tasker at the start of the visit.
Parking and truck access
Parking is the main constraint. Village streets are narrow, many have parked cars on both sides, and some are one way. A van for a deep clean, a move or a bulk delivery may need to stop on the main road and carry tools in. Ask the homeowner for the closest legal spot, and tell the tasker how far the walk from it is. For a truck, check the turning space and the gate width with the village guard before the day.
On the main roads, loading and unloading may be restricted at peak hours. If a job needs a truck, schedule it outside the morning and evening rush and keep the load short. Ask the tasker to bring a hand truck or a cart for heavy items.
Common services and typical prices
Aircon cleaning is the most frequent booking in both villages. A basic indoor clean of a split unit costs about ₱500 to ₱800 on the aircon.ph price list. A full clean that includes the outdoor unit is about ₱800 to ₱1,500, and a chemical deep clean is about ₱1,200 to ₱2,500. In a house, the outdoor unit is often easier to reach, which can shorten the job. Ask for the price with and without the outdoor unit.
Our sourced figures for a regular clean are about ₱750 to ₱1,500 for a studio and ₱1,000 to ₱2,000 for a one-bedroom. A deep clean is about ₱1,500 to ₱3,000 for a studio and ₱2,200 to ₱5,400 for a one-bedroom. Houses are often larger than these figures, so ask the tasker for a per-room or per-hour estimate before booking.
Pest control and declogging are common in older houses. A sink or shower declog is about ₱800 to ₱2,500, and a main drain line is about ₱2,000 to ₱8,000. Termite work is commonly quoted per linear metre, and our source gives about ₱650 to ₱900 per linear metre. Cockroach and ant work is an unsourced estimate of ₱1,000 to ₱2,500. Ask the operator to show a current FDA License to Operate for household and urban pest control.
