Our commercial strata cleaning services cover mixed-use buildings, commercial strata plans, and body corporate properties across Sydney. From ground-floor retail lobbies and shared entrances to office-tower common areas, car parks, and lift wells — we handle the full scope of commercial strata cleaning under one recurring contract.
Commercial strata buildings have different demands to purely residential blocks: higher foot traffic, longer service hours, stricter WHS documentation, and multiple stakeholders (owners' corporation, building manager, commercial tenants). Our commercial strata cleaners are police-checked, WHS-compliant, and covered by $20M public liability insurance, with SWMS and site inductions provided on request.
Whether you need daily lobby presentation for a CBD commercial strata tower or scheduled common-area cleaning for a suburban mixed-use complex, we tailor scopes and frequencies to your building's usage patterns. Get a commercial strata cleaning quote or call 1300 88 61 62.

Trusted by Sydney Strata Committees & Building Managers
We understand the unique challenges of maintaining clean, safe, and welcoming common areas in residential buildings. Our strata cleaning services are specifically designed for body corporates and owners' corporations, offering recurring contracts with consistent quality, transparent communication, and reliable service that committees can depend on.
First impressions matter immensely in residential buildings. Whether it's residents returning home after a long day, visitors arriving for the first time, potential buyers inspecting the property, or real estate agents conducting viewings, clean common areas reflect the pride your community takes in their property. A well-maintained building not only enhances daily living but also protects property values and makes your building more attractive to prospective buyers and renters.
We help you maintain property values, enhance resident satisfaction, ensure compliance with strata legislation and building management obligations, and reduce complaints from residents about cleanliness standards. Our experienced team becomes an extension of your building management, working proactively to keep your property looking its absolute best while providing detailed reporting and responsive communication to committee members and building managers.
Looking for office cleaning in Sydney as well? Many strata buildings also need professional cleaning for building management offices or commercial tenancies. We provide comprehensive cleaning solutions for all your property needs.

Calculate Cleaning CostsWhy Professional Strata Cleaning Is Essential
Strata schemes are required under legislation to maintain common property in good condition. Professional cleaning isn't just about appearance—it's about meeting your legal obligations, maintaining hygiene standards, and protecting the collective investment of all owners in the building.
Clean common areas directly impact property values. Potential buyers and tenants make snap judgments about buildings within the first few seconds of entering the lobby. Dirty, poorly maintained common areas can reduce property values by thousands of dollars and make apartments harder to sell or rent.
Regular professional cleaning also prevents costly repairs. Dirt, grime, and neglect can damage surfaces, accelerate wear and tear on flooring, and lead to expensive restoration work. Preventative maintenance through consistent cleaning saves money in the long run by extending the life of building finishes, carpets, and fixtures.
Understanding Strata Cleaning Costs in Sydney
Strata cleaning pricing in Sydney is calculated differently than commercial office cleaning. Rather than charging per square metre, strata cleaning is typically quoted based on an hourly rate applied to the estimated time required to complete all specified tasks in your building's common areas.
Several factors influence the total cost: building size (number of levels and total area), complexity of common areas, frequency of service (daily, weekly, fortnightly), specific areas requiring attention (lifts, stairwells, car parks, bin rooms), and any special requirements like pressure washing or external window cleaning.
Most Sydney strata buildings pay between $200-$800 per cleaning service depending on scope and frequency. Larger buildings with extensive common areas and daily cleaning needs may invest more, while smaller complexes with weekly or fortnightly schedules typically pay less. The key is finding the right balance between cost and maintaining the cleanliness standards your residents expect.

Why we specialise: By focusing exclusively on strata and commercial cleaning, we maintain the expertise, equipment, and processes that building committees require for reliable, ongoing service.
Strata Cleaning Compliance & Responsibilities
Understanding your committee's obligations and how professional cleaning helps meet them
WHS Obligations
Strata schemes have a duty of care to maintain safe common areas. Professional cleaning ensures slip hazards are managed, hygiene standards are met, and common areas remain safe for residents, visitors, and contractors.
Duty of Care for Common Areas
Committees are responsible for maintaining common property in good condition. Regular professional cleaning demonstrates due diligence and protects the owners corporation from liability claims related to poor maintenance.
Risk Reduction for Committees
Using qualified, insured contractors reduces risk for committee members. Our $20M public liability insurance, police-checked staff, and WHS compliance documentation protect your committee from personal liability.
Contractor Insurance Importance
All cleaning contractors should carry adequate insurance. We provide certificates of currency for public liability and workers compensation, ensuring your building is protected if incidents occur.
Why Strata Committees Require Structured Cleaning Plans
Unlike one-off residential cleans, strata buildings require consistent, documented cleaning schedules. Committees need to demonstrate to residents that common areas are maintained to agreed standards, justify cleaning budgets at AGMs, and show compliance with building management obligations. A structured cleaning plan with regular reporting provides this documentation and accountability.
How Professional Strata Cleaning Protects Property Value
Clean common areas directly impact your building's marketability and long-term asset value
First Impressions Matter
Potential buyers and tenants form opinions about a building within seconds of entering the lobby. Clean, well-maintained common areas signal a well-managed building and justify premium pricing. Dirty lobbies and neglected corridors can reduce property values by thousands of dollars per unit.
Resident Satisfaction
Happy residents are engaged residents. When common areas are consistently clean, residents take more pride in their building, participate more actively in strata matters, and are less likely to complain or create conflict within the community.
Long-Term Asset Preservation
Regular cleaning extends the life of expensive building finishes. Floors, carpets, glass, and surfaces last longer when properly maintained. Neglect leads to premature replacement costs that come from the sinking fund—money that could be better spent elsewhere.
Complaint Reduction
Consistent professional cleaning dramatically reduces resident complaints about cleanliness. This frees up committee time for strategic building matters rather than responding to cleaning concerns, and creates a more positive community atmosphere.
Our Strata Cleaning Management Process
A structured approach designed specifically for strata committees and building managers
Site Assessment
We conduct a comprehensive walkthrough of your building, documenting all common areas, identifying specific cleaning requirements, and noting any special considerations like security protocols or access restrictions.
Scope Agreement
Working with your committee or building manager, we develop a detailed scope of works that matches your building's needs and budget. This includes specific tasks, frequencies, and quality standards—all documented in a clear service agreement.
Scheduled Cleaning Plan
We establish a regular cleaning schedule that works for your building—whether daily, weekly, or fortnightly. Cleaning times are coordinated to minimize disruption to residents while ensuring all areas receive appropriate attention.
Quality Inspections
Regular supervisor inspections ensure cleaning standards are maintained. We conduct random quality audits, respond promptly to any concerns, and maintain photographic records of completed work when required.
Ongoing Communication
Transparent reporting keeps your committee informed. We provide regular updates, alert you to any maintenance issues we observe, and are available to attend committee meetings to discuss service or answer questions.

We clean all shared spaces in your residential building, from ground level to rooftop facilities. Our comprehensive service covers every area that residents and visitors use.
Building Lobbies & Entrance Areas
Your lobby is the first thing residents and visitors see. We ensure floors are swept, mopped, and polished, glass doors and windows are streak-free, mailbox areas are dust-free, and all surfaces including counters and seating are clean and welcoming.
We pay special attention to entrance mats, intercom systems, building directories, and any decorative features like plants or artwork displays.
Stairwells & Corridors
These high-traffic areas require regular attention. We vacuum or sweep stairs and landings, mop hard floors, remove cobwebs from corners and ceilings, wipe down handrails and balustrades, and clean light fittings and switches.
Fire safety equipment areas are kept clear and clean, and we report any maintenance issues we observe during cleaning rounds.
Lift Interiors & Machine Rooms
Elevators are used constantly and need frequent cleaning. We wipe down interior walls and mirrors, sanitize all buttons and panels, clean floors, and remove fingerprints from doors. We coordinate with lift maintenance schedules to ensure thorough cleaning.
We can clean lift machine rooms if included in your building's scope of works and requirements.
Car Parks & Bin Rooms
Underground car parks require specialized cleaning. We sweep floors, clean oil spills (using appropriate absorbents), remove rubbish, clean lighting fixtures, and ensure drainage areas are clear. Bin rooms receive thorough cleaning including washing down walls and floors.
We use commercial pressure washing equipment for deep cleaning of car parks and bin rooms on a scheduled basis.
BBQ & Recreation Facilities
Communal facilities need regular maintenance to stay enjoyable for residents. We clean BBQ hot plates, wipe down outdoor furniture, sweep and mop entertainment areas, clean gym equipment (if applicable), and maintain pool surrounds (not pool maintenance).
These areas can be cleaned on different schedules than general common areas, tailored to usage patterns in your building.
External Common Areas
We maintain outdoor shared spaces including sweeping pathways and driveways, cleaning external glass and windows, removing rubbish from gardens and landscaped areas, maintaining entrance areas, and pressure washing external surfaces as needed.
We coordinate with gardeners and other contractors to ensure all external areas are consistently well-maintained.
