Warehouse and Industrial Cleaning in Darwin

Floors, racking, high level dust and hardstand for Darwin warehouses, distribution centres and factories. We work inside your traffic management plan, not around it, and the induction is done before anyone is on site.

Scrubbing, sweeping and pressure work is booked from 6am before your first shift, or after the last one until 10pm. A site that runs later gets the clean early the next morning or in a planned shutdown.

  • Inducted to your site rules before the first visit
  • Ride on and walk behind machines matched to the floor
  • Wash water contained, not sent down the stormwater drain

Whose traffic management plan do we work under?

Yours. The site controls the forklifts and the plan, so a cleaning crew should fit into it rather than make up its own.

We ask for the plan, get inducted into it and clean to it: your pedestrian exclusion zones, forklift only areas, signage, hi vis and radio arrangements. Nobody from our crew walks into a forklift lane because it looked quiet.

If nobody can give us a plan, we say so and quote the work for a time when the plant is parked, early morning before the first shift or a planned shutdown. That is a cheaper conversation than an incident.

What does your safety officer need to see?

Three things, sorted before the first visit rather than after.

Paperwork before the gate

A safe work method statement where the task needs one, safety data sheets for everything we bring and a risk assessment. Our chemicals go on your hazardous chemicals register while they are on site, so we tell you what is coming.

Height work planned, not improvised

High level dusting is agreed at the walkthrough: what reaches it, who operates it, and when the aisles below are closed. If the safe way to reach it needs a shutdown, we quote it that way.

Racking damage reported

A cleaner at floor level between racking runs is often the first to see a bent upright or a knocked beam. We photograph it and send it to you the same day.

Nobody is buying clean concrete. They are buying a contractor who will not become an incident report.

What is in the scope?

Priced by measured area and task, so two quotes can actually be compared.

Floors and lanes

  • Ride on or walk behind scrubbing
  • Sweeping of dry bulk debris
  • Forklift lanes and tyre marks
  • Aisles, walkways and line marking

Racking and high level

  • Pallet racking, beams and uprights
  • Mezzanine floors and platforms
  • Roof beams, ducting, high bay fittings
  • Cobwebs and settled dust

Docks and hardstand

  • Loading bays and dock levellers
  • Roller door tracks and aprons
  • Hardstand and outdoor storage
  • Drainage checked and cleared

Amenities and office

  • Toilets, showers and change rooms
  • Lunchroom and smoko room
  • The office fitout inside the shed
  • Bins, consumables and waste out

One thing we will not do is put the wrong chemical on your floor. Epoxy and polyurethane coatings want pH neutral cleaners, and an abrasive or corrosive product dulls a coating you paid a lot for. If we are not sure what is down, we test a corner and ask before running a machine over the lot.

How does a warehouse contract run?

Four steps, built around your shift pattern rather than ours.

Contact us
  1. Step 01

    Measure the site

    We walk it with your site or operations manager, measure floor areas by surface type, and note what the machines can and cannot reach.

  2. Step 02

    Rates against areas

    A schedule of rates applied to measured areas and tasks, not a lump sum, so you can see what each part of the site costs.

  3. Step 03

    Inducted, then rostered

    Induction and paperwork first, then visits from 6am before your first shift, after the last one until 10pm, or in a planned shutdown.

  4. Step 04

    Sign off and a defect list

    A signed sheet per visit plus anything we spotted: racking knocks, a blocked sump, a lifting floor joint. Photographed, dated and sent the same day.

What happens to the bird droppings?

Not a pressure washer, and not a broom.

Dried bird and bat droppings can carry disease when they are disturbed, and dry sweeping, pressure washing, a household vacuum or compressed air all put that material into the air you are standing in. They are also what an untrained crew reaches for first.

We mist the droppings and keep them wet through the whole removal, wear fitted particulate respirators, gloves, eye protection and coveralls, and seal the waste so it stays sealed until disposal. If your roof space has held pigeons for years, say so at the walkthrough, because it changes the method and the price.

Where does the wash water go?

Into containment, not the nearest grate.

  • Oil, grease and dirty wash water must not go into a stormwater drain, which runs straight to the harbour and creeks
  • On an outdoor wash we bund the area and capture what we can before it reaches a grate
  • Trucks and equipment are washed in a contained wash area on site, never on a road or footpath
  • If the runoff needs to go somewhere other than the drain, we tell you before we start, not after
  • Melioidosis lives in Top End soil, so our crews wear a mask when pressure washing around soil and garden beds

Why do Darwin sites keep us on the list?

Six reasons, one line each.

A Darwin office

93 Smith Street, Darwin City, so a site issue is a local call.

Paperwork before the gate

Safety paperwork and data sheets lodged before anyone is rostered.

Machines matched to the floor

Sweeper for dry debris and rough hardstand, scrubber for sealed concrete.

Insured on site

We carry $10 million public liability insurance, ready for your contractor file.

Defects reported

Racking knocks and blocked drains photographed and sent the same day.

Happy before we leave

Our cleaners don't leave until you're happy with the work.

What do Darwin site managers say about us?

How is a warehouse cleaning quote put together?

No rate card, because no two sites are the same. We quote after walking the site, and here is what moves the number.

Area by surface

Floor area by surface type, and how much of it a machine can actually reach.

Height and access

Racking height, mezzanines and whether high level work needs a shutdown.

Hardstand and water

The size of the hardstand and whether wash water has to be contained and carted.

Timing and frequency

Before or after shifts, a planned shutdown, and how often the site is done.

Every one of those is named on the quote, so nothing is discovered later. The walkthrough is free and carries no obligation.

Hardstand, aprons, loading bays and external walls, with runoff contained. From $195. See pressure washing

Window cleaning

Office glass and roller door surrounds. Up to 10 windows from $170. See window cleaning

Water damage drying

Roof leaks and storm water into stock areas and the office fitout. Call out $265. See water damage drying

Mould cleaning

Amenities, office ceilings and anywhere the wet season has left mould behind. From $315. See mould cleaning

End of lease and make good

Handing an industrial tenancy back at the end of a lease. See end of lease

Office cleaning

The administration fitout inside the shed, on its own frequency. Quoted after an inspection. See office cleaning

Which Darwin industrial areas do we cover?

Warehouses, distribution centres, workshops, factories and supply bases across Darwin and Palmerston. Site outside these? Send the address and we will confirm the same day.

City and coastal

  • Darwin CBD
  • Larrakeyah
  • Stuart Park
  • The Gardens
  • Fannie Bay
  • Parap
  • Cullen Bay
  • Nightcliff

Coastal salt air coats glass and louvre blades, requiring extra care on tracks.

Northern suburbs

  • Casuarina
  • Alawa
  • Wagaman
  • Leanyer
  • Karama
  • Malak
  • Marrara
  • Wanguri

High residential rental movement makes bond cleaning very common across these suburbs.

Palmerston and rural

  • Palmerston
  • Berrimah
  • Winnellie
  • Howard Springs
  • Humpty Doo

Larger family blocks and sheds often combine regular cleans with outdoor pressure washing.

What do Darwin operations managers ask first?

What does warehouse cleaning cost in Darwin?

It is quoted after an inspection, on measured area and task, rather than off a rate card. Floor type, machine access, racking height, hardstand and timing all move the number, and each one is named on the quote.

When can you clean?

We work from 6am to 10pm, seven days. Most sites are cleaned before the first shift or after the last one, and a site that runs past 10pm gets its clean early the next morning or in a planned shutdown.

Can you work while the site is running?

Sometimes, and only inside your traffic management plan. Where aisles cannot be separated from moving plant, we would rather quote an early morning or shutdown window than put a crew in a forklift lane.

How do you clean high level racking and beams?

We plan it at the walkthrough: what reaches it, who operates it and when the aisles below are closed. If it can only be done safely with the site shut down, we quote it that way.

Will your machine damage our epoxy floor?

Not if we use a pH neutral cleaner and the right pad. Abrasive and corrosive products are what dull a coating, so if nobody on site knows what is down, we test a corner first and confirm with you.

How do you handle bird droppings in the roof space?

Wet, bagged and sealed, never blasted or swept. Dried droppings can carry disease when disturbed, so we mist the material, keep it wet through removal, wear fitted particulate respirators and seal the waste.

What happens to the water from a hardstand wash?

It gets contained. Oil and dirty wash water must not reach a stormwater drain, so we bund the area, capture what we can and tell you before we start if the runoff has to go somewhere else.

Will you move pallets with our forklift?

No. We do not drive forklifts on your site. We clear debris by hand or with a pallet jack, and if a forklift has to move for us to reach a floor area, that is your operator, not ours.

We stay until it's right

Our cleaners don't leave until you're happy with the work. For end of lease cleans, if you're not satisfied and tell us within 72 hours, we come back and re-clean.

Ready to book a site walkthrough?

Send the address, rough floor area, what the site does and when it is quiet. We walk it, measure by surface type, and come back with rates against areas and the safety paperwork.
