Pricing & Quotes
How much does commercial cleaning cost in Annandale?
Ongoing contracts across Annandale 2038 run $32 to $46 per hour and one-off work $40 to $52 per hour. The tier depends on what the site requires — a general office scope sits at the bottom of that band and a clinical or food-safe scope at the top. Every client receives a fixed monthly price after a free walkthrough.
Do you charge for a quote or a site visit?
No. Walkthroughs and quotes are free and the quote is itemised room by room so you can compare it honestly against any other bid rather than comparing a low headline number against an unknown scope.
Is GST shown separately?
Yes. Every quote shows the ex-GST figure and the GST-inclusive total side by side, so there is never a ten percent surprise when the first invoice arrives.
Why are some Annandale cleaning quotes so much cheaper?
Quotes under $30 an hour normally hide a thin scope, visit times too short to complete the work, or missing police checks and insurance. Ask for the certificate of currency and the written scope of work — the cheap quotes tend to go quiet at that point.
Do prices differ between Annandale and the neighbouring suburbs?
No. The same rate card covers Annandale, Leichhardt, Rozelle, Lilyfield, Forest Lodge, Balmain and Haberfield, because one crew services the whole Inner West run rather than travelling out from a distant depot.
Contracts & Terms
Do you use lock-in contracts?
No. Every agreement is month-to-month with 30 days written notice. There is no minimum term, no automatic annual rollover and no exit fee. We would rather keep the work by doing it properly.
Can we change the scope after we start?
Yes. Scopes are living documents — add a room, drop a visit, bring in a quarterly carpet clean. The monthly price is re-fixed in writing and applies from the following cycle, never retrospectively.
What happens if a clean is not up to standard?
Tell us and the missed line item is corrected on your next scheduled visit, checked against the written scope of works. Repeated issues trigger a supervisor site review. Because terms are month-to-month you are never stuck waiting out a contract while service drifts.
Can one agreement cover several sites?
Yes. Operators with premises across Annandale and the surrounding suburbs get one agreement, one invoice and portfolio pricing, typically five to ten percent better than the same sites quoted separately.
Staff, Safety & Insurance
Are your cleaners police-checked?
Every cleaner holds a current national police check before their first shift on any Annandale site. Childcare and education work additionally requires a verified NSW Working With Children Check, copied to your director for the staff file.
What insurance does Pro Clean Corp carry?
We carry $20M public liability insurance, workers compensation and professional indemnity. Certificates of currency are supplied to landlords, strata managers and head contractors on request and renewed automatically each year.
Will the same cleaners attend each visit?
Yes. A consistent crew of one to three cleaners is assigned to your site and inducted on your access, alarms and scope. Planned absences are notified in advance with a cleared replacement, not a stranger who turns up unannounced.
How are keys and alarm codes handled?
Keys are logged under a signed register, alarm codes are stored encrypted and restricted to your assigned crew, and every entry and exit is recorded. Lost-key protocol includes immediate notification and locksmith cover at our expense.
What cleaning products do you use?
Clinical and food-contact surfaces get TGA-listed hospital-grade or food-grade product applied at labelled dwell time. General areas use commercial-grade low-odour product, with fragrance-free and low-tox options for childcare and sensitive sites. Safety data sheets are filed on site.
Services & Local Coverage
Which industries do you clean for in Annandale?
Offices and professional suites, cafes and restaurants, shops and Parramatta Road showrooms, strata common areas, childcare services, medical and allied health rooms, gyms and studios, and warehouse or workshop premises. Each has its own scope template and its own page on this site.
Do you clean the light-industrial premises on Parramatta Road?
Yes. Workshops, trade counters and storage tenancies along the Parramatta Road strip are cleaned with machine floor plant, roller-door track and dock apron degreasing, and scheduled high-level dusting of racking and roof steel.
Can you clean heritage terraces and original finishes?
Yes, and in Annandale it matters. Original floorboards, tessellated entry tiles, sandstone thresholds and lead-light glass are cleaned with pH-neutral product and low-moisture method rather than the strong alkaline products a volume contractor defaults to.
Do you offer carpet cleaning and hard floor maintenance?
Yes — carpet steam extraction, machine scrubbing and strip-and-seal programs are available as scheduled extras on any contract or as standalone projects, always fixed-quoted per job rather than absorbed into a monthly figure.
Do you handle end of lease and make-good cleans?
Yes, at $40 to $52 per hour with a fixed quote and a free re-attend if your agent or landlord flags anything at inspection. We schedule the clean as the last trade after any defit work is finished.
Scheduling & Access
When do your crews work?
Mostly outside trading hours: pre-dawn runs for cafes and shops, evenings for offices and clinics, overnight for 24/7 gyms, and daytime for warehouses whose plant stops. Weekend and public holiday attendance is available by arrangement with the loading disclosed up front.
How quickly can you start in Annandale?
Most Annandale sites are live within a week of quote approval. Urgent starts — a contractor has walked out, or an inspection is coming — can usually be covered inside 48 hours because we already run crews through the suburb each night.
How do you handle Annandale parking and access?
Resident-permit parking covers most of the streets between Johnston Street and Booth Street, so crews either park legally on the Parramatta Road side and walk in or arrive by light rail from the Rozelle Bay stop. Service windows are written into the agreement rather than left open.
Can you work in an occupied building without disrupting anyone?
Yes. Low-noise equipment, zone-by-zone cleaning and agreed quiet hours are standard, and they matter more here than in most suburbs because so many Annandale commercial tenancies have residences directly above or beside them.
Where to go next
For real numbers rather than ranges, the Annandale commercial cleaning cost guide gives worked monthly examples by industry, and the cleaning rates page lists what each tier includes. Service detail sits on the office cleaning, cafe and restaurant, medical cleaning and warehouse cleaning pages, and two worked examples are written up in our case studies.
