Strata and common area cleaning in Sydney
Sydney has the deepest and most fragmented commercial cleaning market in the country, spread from the CBD towers through the tech and creative tenancies of Surry Hills and Alexandria, out to Parramatta's second CBD and the industrial belts of Western Sydney.
You need a cleaner who can get into your Sydney site, on the hours the building allows, at a price you can defend. That's a shortlist problem, not a search problem — so start with what's specific to Sydney.
What's different about Sydney
After-hours building access is the practical constraint in Sydney's CBD and North Sydney towers: most require registered contractor inductions and access cards through building management, so allow lead time before a new cleaner's first shift.

Strata and common area cleaning in Sydney: common questions
- Who signs the cleaning contract for a strata building?
- Usually the owners corporation acting through the strata manager or committee, following a quote comparison. Individual owners cannot generally engage a common-area cleaner on their own.
- What is a reasonable term for a strata cleaning contract?
- Twelve months with a review is common, and many committees prefer a shorter initial term so they can test service quality. Check any automatic rollover clause before signing.
- Is gardening included?
- Usually not. Cleaners typically handle blowing and sweeping of hard surfaces adjacent to gardens, while mowing and pruning sit with a separate grounds contractor.
