Local Sydney relevance

From Pyrmont and Zetland apartment buildings to Bondi, Chatswood and North Sydney towers, our strata cleaners service residential, commercial and mixed-use buildings across Sydney.

More on this service

Every Sydney strata site is different. Tower-floor corporate fitouts behave differently to ground-level retail or warehouse mezzanines, and the cleaning plan should reflect that. We walk each property, map the high-traffic zones, identify the surfaces that need daily attention versus weekly attention, and document a checklist your facility manager can audit against.

Consistency is what separates a professional commercial cleaning provider from a casual one. Our cleaners arrive at the same time, follow the same documented scope, restock the same consumables, and report any issue — a damaged tap, a flickering light, a graffiti tag — back to your nominated contact. Over time that operational discipline shows up as a calmer, more presentable workplace.

We pair daily or weekly servicing with periodic deep cleans: carpet steam cleaning, hard-floor stripping and sealing, high dusting, window cleaning, upholstery refreshes and end-of-quarter resets. Bundling these into your strata cleaning Sydney contract removes the admin overhead of chasing multiple specialist trades.

Communication matters as much as the cleaning itself. You get a single point of contact, a digital cleaning log, a transparent quote with no hidden charges, and a clear escalation path if anything ever falls short. We'd rather you tell us early than tolerate a small issue for weeks.

Strata cleaning in Sydney typically costs $220–$480 per week for a small block, $500–$1,200 per week for a mid-rise tower, and is quoted per property for large or multi-building schemes. Lot count, number of levels, car park size and bin-room duties are the main drivers.

  • Ranges shown are indicative weekly figures (ex GST) for budgeting. Every quote is written after a site walk or floor-plan review.
  • Consumables can be supplied at cost or managed by you, and periodic work is scheduled and priced separately so nothing is buried in the weekly rate.
  • No lock-in penalty clauses — if service slips and we can't fix it, you can leave on 30 days' notice.

How our Sydney strata cleaning process works

Strata committees need evidence, not assurances. Here's how we scope, deliver and document common-area cleaning for your building.

  1. 01

    Site walk or floor-plan review

    We visit your strata site (or review your floor plan for multi-site portfolios), measure the cleanable area, note access, security and after-hours restrictions, and identify the zones that genuinely need daily attention versus weekly.

  2. 02

    Written scope and line-item quote

    You receive a documented scope — tasks, frequencies, cleaner-hours and periodic schedule — with the price against each element. No flat mystery number, so you can compare like with like.

  3. 03

    Onboarding and induction

    We complete building inductions, SWMS and site-specific risk assessments, collect access keys or fobs, and confirm your escalation contacts before the first clean.

  4. 04

    Consistent scheduled servicing

    The same trained, insured cleaners attend on the same schedule, work the documented checklist, restock consumables and log completion digitally so your facility manager can audit rather than guess.

  5. 05

    Quality audits and reporting

    A supervisor audits the site on a set cycle, photographs any defect, and reports maintenance issues — a damaged tap, a flickering light, graffiti — back to your nominated contact.

  6. 06

    Review and adjust

    Scopes drift as businesses change. We review the contract with you periodically and adjust frequencies, hours or periodic work rather than quietly under-servicing.

Sydney strata cleaning case studies

Anonymised summaries of real engagement types — the problem the client came with, what we changed, and what it produced.

Lower North Shore

Residential tower · 92 lots

Challenge
Common-area presentation was inconsistent before inspections and the committee had no record of what had been cleaned or when.
What we did
Fixed weekly schedule across lobby, lifts, corridors, bin room and car park, plus a quarterly periodic program — all recorded in a digital log shared with the committee.
Outcome
The committee could evidence compliance at every meeting and presentation held between inspections.
Inner West

Mixed-use scheme · retail podium

Challenge
Retail waste was overflowing into residential bin areas and creating odour complaints through the lift lobby.
What we did
Separated bin-room servicing with scheduled wash-downs, earlier bin presentation, and deodorising treatment on a set cycle.
Outcome
Odour complaints stopped and the scheme avoided a council waste notice.
Eastern Suburbs

Boutique block · 18 lots

Challenge
The building was paying for a full caretaker it did not need, at a rate the levy could not sustain.
What we did
Right-sized to two visits per week with a documented scope and a quarterly periodic clean rather than daily attendance.
Outcome
Cleaning spend dropped materially with no measurable loss in common-area presentation.

Strata Cleaning Sydney FAQs

What areas are included in strata cleaning?

Strata cleaning typically covers lobbies, lifts, common corridors, stairwells, bin rooms, mailrooms, glass entry doors, carparks and external entryways. We agree the exact scope with your strata manager or committee.

Do you clean common areas?

Yes — common areas are the core of strata cleaning. We document the scope room by room so committees can audit it.

Can you clean apartment building lobbies and lifts?

Yes. Lobbies and lifts are usually cleaned on the highest frequency because they're the most-seen part of the building.

Do you offer scheduled strata cleaning?

Yes — weekly, twice-weekly or daily schedules depending on building size, foot traffic and committee expectations.

How much does strata cleaning cost per lot in Sydney?

A useful planning figure is $6–$15 per lot per week. Smaller blocks sit at the top because lifts, bin rooms and lobbies cost the same to clean regardless of how many owners share the bill.

Who pays for strata common-area cleaning?

Common-area cleaning is funded from the owners corporation's administrative fund and paid through levies. We invoice the strata manager directly and can supply per-building breakdowns for portfolios.

How often should common areas be cleaned?

Small walk-up blocks generally hold up at one to two visits a week. Towers with lifts, car parks and shared amenities typically need three to five visits, with bin rooms serviced around collection days.

Do you handle bin rotation and bin room washing?

Yes — bin presentation and return, bin-room wash-downs, chute-base cleaning and deodorising are standard inclusions we scope around your council collection days.

Can you provide insurance certificates for the owners corporation?

Yes. Public liability and workers compensation certificates of currency are issued on request, usually the same day, for your strata manager or committee records.

Can you clean multiple buildings in one strata portfolio?

Yes — one contract, one account manager, consolidated invoicing, and building-specific scopes where the property demands it. That's how most of our strata manager relationships are structured.
