Commercial Cleaning Elizabeth Bay
Pro Clean Corp cleans strata common areas and small commercial premises throughout Elizabeth Bay NSW 2011 — the interwar apartment blocks stepping down Ithaca Road and Onslow Avenue, the buildings overlooking Beare Park and the marina, and the handful of professional suites and studios tucked between them. Servicing Paddington 2021 and surrounds, our crews cover the bay on a fixed weekly round with the same faces every visit.
Elizabeth Bay is one of the densest residential pockets in Sydney and almost all of it is strata. That makes the common areas — the entry, the lift, the stairs, the bin room — the parts of the building every owner sees daily and judges the building manager on. It also makes them heritage surfaces. Terrazzo, polished brass, leadlight, tessellated tile and original timber handrails are the norm here, not the exception.
What the common area scope covers
- Entry foyer, tiled or terrazzo floor, mats, glazing and intercom panel
- Lift car, tracks, control panel and mirror; brass surrounds polished on a set cycle
- Stair cores, handrails, landings and light fittings
- Corridor floors and skirtings, vacuumed or damp mopped by substrate
- Letterbox bank, parcel area and noticeboard
- Bin room wash-down, drain treatment and bin presentation to council schedule
- Garage entry, ramp sweep and cobweb removal
- Pool surrounds, courtyards and drying areas where present
Heritage materials, correct chemistry
The quickest way to lose money in an Elizabeth Bay building is to let a cleaner use a general-purpose alkaline product on terrazzo. It dulls the surface irreversibly, and restoring it means a grind and polish that costs more than a year of cleaning. Our scopes name the product for each surface: pH-neutral on terrazzo and marble, non-abrasive polish on brass and bronze, damp-only on leadlight and original timber, and neutral detergent on tessellated entry tile.
Committees also need evidence. Every visit is signed off, every month produces a written report with photographs, and any defect the crew spots — a failed light, a leaking hose tap, graffiti on the garage door — is reported to the managing agent the same day rather than left for someone to trip over.
Cleaners are police-checked, keys and fobs are held under a signed register, and we carry $20 million public liability insurance with certificates issued to the strata manager on request. Agreements are month-to-month with 30 days notice, which suits committees that change composition at each AGM.

Commercial cleaning Elizabeth Bay — FAQs
Do you specialise in art deco strata buildings?
A large share of our Elizabeth Bay work is exactly that. The interwar blocks along Ithaca Road and Onslow Avenue have terrazzo floors, brass lift surrounds, leadlight and original tiled entries, and each of those materials wants a different product. Getting it wrong dulls terrazzo and pits brass, which is expensive to reverse.
What does strata cleaning cost in Elizabeth Bay?
Small blocks of eight to twenty lots typically sit between $180 and $420 per month for a twice-weekly common area service, based on the $30 to $45 per hour band. Buildings with a garage, multiple stair cores or a pool area are quoted higher after a walkthrough with the committee.
What reporting does the strata committee get?
A written scope agreed at the start, a signed service record for every visit, and a monthly summary with photographs. Committees use it at meetings to show owners the work is happening, and managing agents attach it to the building file.
Can you clean small commercial suites as well as residential blocks?
Yes. Elizabeth Bay has a scattering of small professional and consulting tenancies at street level and in converted apartments. These are cleaned in the same round as the strata common areas, which keeps the cost per visit low for a tenancy too small to justify a dedicated crew.
How do you handle bin rooms in tight buildings?
Elizabeth Bay bin rooms are usually undersized for the lot count and sit close to lobbies, so odour travels. We wash them down rather than sweep, run a deodorising treatment on the floor drain, and present and return bins on the City of Sydney collection cycle so they are never left blocking a driveway.
