Common-area cleaning for apartment buildings in Coogee NSW 2034, from three-storey walk-ups off Coogee Bay Road to mid-rise blocks above the beach and along the coastal walk. Sand, salt air and summer crowds change what a Coogee building needs, so the roster is set with your strata manager after a site walkthrough.
A unit block a few streets back from Coogee Beach does not get dirty the way a building in Parramatta or the CBD does. Most of the work is at ground level, it changes with the seasons, and salt is hard on the finishes. These are the four things that shape most Coogee scopes.
Residents coming up from Coogee Beach and Giles Baths bring sand through the front door, into the lift and up the first flights of stairs. Sand grinds into tiles and lift-car floors, so in summer the entry and lift usually need more visits than the upper landings.
Blocks facing the water or close to Arden Street get a salt film on entry doors, intercom panels, balustrades and letterboxes. A dry wipe just smears it. We wash it off and then dry the surface, and the strata manager gets told about any corrosion we notice.
Small walk-ups often keep their bins in a tight room or under the stairs. In the warmer months that is where odour and pests start. Hosing and sanitising the bin area can go on the roster as its own task, timed to suit Randwick Council collection days.
Where some units are let out short-term, check-ins and check-outs leave luggage marks, extra rubbish and more foot traffic in the common areas over weekends and school holidays. A Monday visit after a busy weekend is often a better fit than a fixed Friday clean.
Many of Coogee's older red-brick walk-ups have one entry, a single stairwell and a shared laundry or drying area. A weekly or fortnightly visit is often enough, with the time spent on stair treads, handrails, the entry mat and the bin area.
Newer mid-rise blocks add a lift, a basement car park, and often a pool or rooftop terrace. The lift car and its door tracks collect sand quickly, the car park needs sweeping and spills dealt with, and shared outdoor areas need attention after weekends. These buildings usually get two or more visits a week in summer.
If you are unsure what common-area cleaning covers, our guide to what strata cleaning includes sets out the usual tasks. Our Eastern Suburbs strata cleaning page covers neighbouring Randwick, Clovelly and Bondi buildings.
We walk the building with your manager or committee rep, then send a written scope and a fixed price.
02 4071 4022Most Coogee schedules cover the entry and foyer, letterboxes, lift car and doors, stairwells and landings, the bin area and any undercover parking or bike storage. Glass, balustrades and outdoor paths are added where the building has them. Everything goes into a written scope so the committee knows what each visit includes.
Yes. Many beachside buildings need more cleaning between December and March, when sand and foot traffic peak, than they do in winter. The scope can set a summer and a winter frequency so the owners corporation only pays for extra visits in the busy months.
Usually the strata managing agent, with the building manager or a committee member as the on-site contact. Problems we find on a visit, like a blown light, a leak in the bin room or a damaged handrail, are passed to that contact so the right trade can be sent.
After a free site walkthrough we write a scope based on the number of levels and entries, whether there is a lift, how much glass there is and the visit frequency. The price is fixed for that scope, the agreement runs month to month with no lock-in, and our police-checked cleaners are insured.
Tell us the address and how many levels it has, and we will arrange a free walkthrough of your Coogee building.
