Common property cleaning for strata schemes
ANZ Cleaning Services provides strata cleaning services across Sydney for apartment buildings, townhouse complexes and mixed-use developments. We clean the common property: lobbies, lifts, corridors, stairwells, bin rooms, car parks and shared amenities, on a written scope agreed with the strata manager or committee and priced as a fixed monthly amount.
Cleaners are police-checked and insured, visits are logged, and one supervisor handles the building so a missed task or an extra-work request goes to a person who knows the site.
The strata plan and a walk-through determine which areas are common property and the building's responsibility. These are the areas a Sydney strata scope normally includes.
Entry glass and frames, foyer floors, mail areas, lift cars, buttons and tracks, and intercom panels on every visit. Floor surfaces are recorded at the walk-through so the right method is used on stone, tile, timber or carpet.
Vacuuming or mopping of corridor floors, handrails, light switches, fire-door furniture and skirtings. Fire stairs are swept and spot-mopped on a rotation agreed with the building manager.
Floor and wall washing, odour treatment, chute-room cleaning and bin presentation for council or contractor collection, with responsibilities set out in writing.
Litter pickup, sweeping and cobweb removal on each visit, with machine scrubbing, pressure washing and drain clearing scheduled as periodic work.
Gyms, pools and pool decks, barbecue areas, rooftop terraces, meeting rooms and shared toilets, each with its own task list and frequency.
Carpet cleaning, hard-floor scrubbing and sealing, high glass, external pressure washing and window cleaning quoted separately so the committee can approve each item.
Strata committees change, building managers change, and the cleaning contract has to survive both. These are the arrangements we set up for every building.
Each area, its tasks and its frequency are listed so the committee can compare quotes and check the work later. Periodic jobs sit on a separate schedule with their own price.
Building keys and fobs are recorded in a signed register. Cleaners use the access window agreed with the building manager and follow the building's rules on lift use, parking and noise.
Bin presentation and bin-room cleaning are timed to the council or contractor collection day, with the split of responsibilities between cleaner, waste contractor and building manager put in writing.
A visit log after each attendance, certificates of currency for the strata manager's file, and a supervisor who can attend a committee meeting or walk the building with the manager when the scope needs to change.
A useful brief lets us price the same work as other contractors and lets the owners corporation see what is included. Send these details, or book a walk-through and we will collect them on site. Typical Sydney ranges are on our commercial cleaning prices page.

Strata cleaning covers the common property of a building: entry foyers and glass, lifts, corridors, stairwells and handrails, mail areas, bin rooms, car parks, and shared amenities such as gyms, pools and barbecue areas. Private lots are not included. The exact list is written per building after a walk-through and checked against the strata plan.
Most buildings with more than about 30 lots have common areas cleaned two to five times a week, with bin rooms attended on collection days. Smaller walk-up blocks are usually cleaned weekly. Frequency should follow foot traffic, the number of residents and the floor surfaces, and be reviewed against the condition of the building after the first quarter.
Cost depends on the number of levels and lifts, the size of the foyer and car park, bin-room handling and visit frequency. Every quote is a fixed monthly price written after a site walk, with periodic work such as carpet cleaning or pressure washing listed separately. Typical ranges are on our commercial cleaning prices page.
