Strata Cleaning Sydney

Strata cleaning for Sydney apartment buildings, done to a written scope your committee can read in two minutes. Lobbies, lifts, bin rooms, car parks and shared facilities, on a schedule that suits the building and the residents.

Free quote, no obligation. We write the scope first, then the price.

Strata cleaning that starts with the scope

Most strata cleaning complaints come down to one thing: nobody wrote down what was meant to be cleaned, or how often. One cleaner mops the lobby twice a week, the next one thinks once is fine, and the committee only hears about it when a resident complains.

We work the other way round. Before we give you a price, we walk the building with you or your building manager, list every area, and agree how often each one gets done. That list becomes the scope. The price comes after, so you can compare our quote line by line with any other strata cleaners in Sydney.

Lunar Cleaning Services has been cleaning in Sydney since 2018. We do apartment building cleaning for residential blocks, mixed-use buildings with shops on the ground floor and smaller walk-up strata schemes. If your building has common property, we can scope it.

What strata managers and committees tell us

If any of these are in your inbox right now, you're who we built our strata service for.

  1. Bins overflow and the bin room smells

    Bin rotation is set around your council collection day and written into the scope. See waste management.

  2. The lobby looks no better after the clean

    Lobby floors, mailboxes and entry glass are on a fixed schedule you can see in writing.

  3. Resident emails keep landing on the committee

    You get one Lunar contact for the building. Report a problem once and we fix it.

  4. The cleaner doesn't turn up and nobody tells you

    Visit days and times are written into the scope, and you have one contact to call if a visit is missed.

  5. Changing cleaners feels like starting from zero

    Send us your current scope or tender document. We check it against the building and tell you what looks missing before we price it.

  6. You're not sure the cleaner is insured

    Ask us for our insurance details before you decide. Start on the insurance and compliance page.

Strata cleaners for Sydney apartment buildings, committees and managers

  • Strata managers who need a contractor they can recommend to a committee without worrying about it later.
  • Building managers who want one point of contact and a cleaner who turns up when the roster says so.
  • Owners corporations (often still called body corporates) and their committees, comparing quotes before an AGM or a contract renewal.
  • Self-managed strata schemes where an owner volunteers to look after the cleaning and wants it to be simple.

Under section 106 of the Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 (NSW), the owners corporation has to maintain common property and keep it in a good state of repair. A clear cleaning scope is one simple way a committee can show it is looking after the building.

Why strata managers choose a scope-first cleaner

  • Quotes you can compare

    Every area and frequency is listed, so the committee compares like with like, not one total against another.

  • Paperwork before you ask

    Ask us for our insurance details and we'll send what we hold for your contractor file. Use a contractor compliance platform?

  • No surprise extras

    If it's in the scope, it's in the price. If something new comes up, we tell you before we do it.

  • Fewer complaints reaching the committee

    Bins out on collection day, the lobby the same on Monday as Friday, and one contact who fixes misses and tells you what was done.

Strata cleaning Sydney: common questions

Can you quote from a tender document or an existing scope?

Yes. Attach it to the quote form or email it to us. We'll check it against the building and tell you if anything looks missing or unclear before we price it.

Can the quote go to the committee or an AGM?

That is the idea of a written scope.

Who do residents or the building manager contact if something is missed?

You get one contact at Lunar for the building.

What does strata cleaning include?

Usually the lobby and entry, corridors and stairwells, lifts, bin rooms and bin rotation, the car park and shared facilities like a pool, gym or BBQ area. Your scope lists each area with its tasks and frequency.

How do we know the cleaning was actually done?
