Strata cleaning keeps a scheme’s common property clean, safe and compliant: lobbies, stairwells, lifts, bin rooms, carparks and grounds. Blox runs strata cleaning services across Sydney with one in-house crew, scheduled visits, and photo reports after every clean, so committees see the work without leaving the group chat. Call 0435 221 335.
What is strata cleaning?
Strata cleaning is the scheduled cleaning of a strata scheme’s shared areas, the spaces every lot owner pays for through levies. It covers entrance lobbies, hallways, stairwells, lift cars, mailbox areas, bin rooms, common bathrooms, carparks and external paths. It differs from residential cleaning in scale, insurance requirements, and the need for documented, repeatable service the owners corporation can verify.
What our strata cleaning covers
- Entrance lobbies, foyers and mail areas: vacuumed, mopped, glass wiped
- Stairwells and hallways on every level, including handrails and light switches
- Lift cars: floors, mirrors, tracks and control panels
- Bin room cleans, bin rotation and deodorising
- Carpark sweeping and cobweb removal
- External paths, entry glass and signage
- Common bathrooms and shared laundries where fitted
- Add-ons from the same crew: pressure cleaning, garden maintenance, dumped rubbish removal
Why schemes switch to Blox
Most strata cleaning companies do cleaning only. When the letterbox is broken, the garden is overgrown, or someone dumps a couch in the carpark, the committee starts a fresh contractor hunt. Blox runs 20 services with the same in-house crew, so the cleaner who notices the problem is from the same team that fixes it. One supplier, one invoice, one report to the committee.
- Photo reports every visit. Time-stamped before and after shots, sent the same day. Committees approve work they can see.
- Minute-ready quotes. Fixed written pricing formatted for committee approval, delivered within 24 hours.
- Compliance on file. Public liability certificate, workers compensation and SWMS held against the account, not chased per job.
- The same crew every time. They learn the building: access codes, bin day, the door that sticks.

Frequently asked questions
How often should strata common areas be cleaned?
Most Sydney schemes run weekly cleans for lobbies and bin rooms, fortnightly for full-building cleans, and quarterly for carpark scrubs and pressure cleaning. High-traffic buildings above 40 lots often move to twice weekly. We recommend a frequency after walking the building.
Who pays for strata cleaning?
The owners corporation, through the administrative fund levies. It is a shared expense across all lot owners, which is why committees want documented proof the service is actually happening. Our photo reports give them exactly that.
Can you quote from our current cleaning schedule?
Yes. Send the current scope and we return a like-for-like written quote within 24 hours, with any gaps or over-servicing flagged.
Do you work with strata managers or directly with committees?
Both. Strata managers get portfolio pricing and standing compliance documents. Self-managed schemes deal directly with the crew. See our facility and strata managers page.
Can the same crew handle gardens and repairs too?
Yes, that is the point of Blox. The crew that cleans your building also runs gardens, painting, repairs and rubbish removal. One quote can cover the lot.
