What does strata and common area cleaning cover in Sydney?

Recurring commercial cleaning for apartment buildings, strata schemes, residential complexes and managed properties across Sydney. The written scope can cover lobbies, corridors, lifts, stairs, parking areas, bin rooms, mail areas and shared amenities.

Cleaning can run before peak movement, during selected hours, after busy periods or on set days. The schedule depends on resident traffic, building access, floor surfaces and strata priorities.

Common area cleaning is different from cleaning private apartments. Shared entrances, lifts, touchpoints and resident facilities need to be discussed before the scope is confirmed.

Which strata cleaning schedule suits your building?

We confirm the base schedule and any periodic work during the walkthrough.

Set-day visits

Regular visits can keep lobbies, lifts, corridors and shared amenities presentable.

Peak-time planning

Cleaning can be planned around resident movement, inspections and building routines.

Different frequencies

Lifts, entries, bins, parking areas and washrooms may need different visit frequencies.

How is your strata clean verified?

Every step is visible to the strata manager, committee contact or building manager.
