Body corporate cleaning for strata properties, managed buildings and residential complexes Brisbane and beyond. Trusted by property managers across Queensland since 1988.
Managing a strata property means answering to residents, committees, and owners — often all at once. The last thing you need is a cleaning contractor who creates more work than they remove.
Since 1988, Innova has worked with property managers, body corporates and strata committees. We understand the reporting requirements, the committee dynamics, and what it means to have a building that residents are actually proud of. We’re the company you can trust: professional systems, personal accountability, and the same team at your property every visit.
“When strata emergencies happen—flooding, vandalism, safety hazards—most cleaners have business-hour limitations. We respond 24/7 because your property can’t wait until Monday. That’s the difference between a service provider and a partner.” – Coraline, Owner
We never quote sight-unseen. We inspect your building’s common areas, assess foot traffic patterns, identify high-priority zones, and understand your committee’s expectations. This isn’t just about square metres — it’s about understanding what matters to your residents and your management obligations.
Within days, you receive a detailed proposal covering exactly which areas, which tasks, and which schedule. Transparent pricing, valid for 30 days, with no hidden extras. We can also advise on frequency based on building occupancy and usage.
Your dedicated team starts within 2–3 weeks of acceptance. You’ll meet your cleaners personally, receive direct contact details, and agree on your preferred communication style. All staff are police-checked and fully trained on your specific property.
Regular check-ins, same-day response to issues, and proactive communication before residents complain. We use FreshOps for scheduling and GPS verification, and can provide photo documentation after services — useful evidence for committee reporting.
Result: 7.5-year average staff tenure vs industry average of less than 2 years
Inadequate common area cleaning doesn’t just look unprofessional—it creates ongoing management headaches. Body corporates with inconsistent cleaning services report more resident complaints and AGM disputes.
Each complaint requires building manager time to document, follow up, and resolve, diverting attention from strategic property management priorities.
First impressions directly affect property values and rental appeal. Stained carpets in lobbies, dirty stairwells, or neglected car parks signal poor building management to prospective buyers and tenants.
Brisbane’s climate creates additional challenges. During the wet season, you have more moisture, mud and debris that need more attention to stay safe and presentable.
Poorly maintained common areas create liability exposure for body corporates. Slip hazards from inadequate floor cleaning, unhygienic bin areas attracting pests, or mold growth from neglected cleaning can result in resident injury claims or regulatory violations.
Professional strata cleaning services mitigate these risks through systematic maintenance protocols.
“We’ll get back to you” becomes standard response to urgent issues—your building manager spends days chasing resolution while resident complaints escalate
Different cleaning teams every service with no continuity or familiarity with your property’s specific requirements
Supplies constantly “forgotten” or body corporate expected to purchase and stock all cleaning products
No emergency contact or after-hours support when flooding, vandalism, or health incidents require immediate response
Pricing that seems “too good to be true” (it is—expect cut corners, undertrained staff, and potential labor law violations)
Complaints disappear into black holes because there’s no accountable person taking ownership at property level
Inconsistent scheduling and attendance with cleaners arriving when convenient for them, not per agreed service times
What Actually Matters (Based on 38 Years of Body Corporate Feedback)
The #1 issue isn’t price—it’s accountability and responsiveness.
Here’s what building managers and strata committees tell us they’re really looking for:
☑️ Proactive Communication – Do they identify maintenance issues before they reach committee meetings or generate resident complaints?
☑️ Immediate Response – Can you reach a real person with decision-making authority? (Not a call center or voicemail)
☑️ Compliance Handled – Do they understand WH&S requirements, chemical handling regulations, and building code obligations without committee oversight?
☑️ Problem Prevention – Do they suggest preventive maintenance approaches for high-traffic areas and seasonal challenges specific to your property?
☑️ Take Responsibility – Do they own mistakes and resolve issues immediately, or deflect blame and delay resolution?
Industry average: <2 years. Innova: 7.5 years. Consistency matters when the same team services your property week after week.
Get a real name and mobile number. Test it. Building managers need direct access to decision-makers, not offshore call centers.
Get specifics in writing: which common areas, which surfaces, what frequency. Vague promises become scope disputes later.
Look for documented systems: regular inspections, audit processes, performance reporting. Generic promises mean no accountability.
Test their guarantee with real scenarios. How fast do they respond? Who takes responsibility? What's the remediation process?
In an industry with significant exploitation issues, this protects your body corporate from liability. Verify above-award pay rates and superannuation compliance.
Then call them—ask specifically about emergency response times, communication consistency, and how they handle complaints. References should be Queensland-based and comparable property size.

Strata cleaning in Queensland typically ranges from $38 to $52 per hour, depending on the size and complexity of the property. Contracts generally range from a few hundred dollars a month for a small residential block through to $100,000+ per month for large commercial or mixed-use strata complexes.
Factors that affect your quote:
∙ Number of buildings and storeys
∙ Size and type of common areas (lobbies, lifts, stairwells, car parks, pools, gyms)
∙ Frequency of cleaning (daily, weekly, fortnightly)
∙ Flooring types and surface materials throughout common areas
∙ Site access requirements and security protocols
∙ Body corporate compliance or by-law requirements
∙ Additional services such as garden maintenance areas, bin rooms, and car park cleaning
Because strata properties vary significantly — from a 6-unit residential complex to a 300-lot mixed-use development — Innova conducts on-site assessments before quoting, reviewing common area layouts, access, and any specific body corporate requirements.
Innova also covers the full scope of strata cleaning: including carpet steam cleaning, window cleaning, and high-pressure washing of car parks and external areas, so body corporates and strata managers can consolidate services under one contract.
Optimal cleaning frequency depends on your residential complex size, resident count, and property configuration:
Weekly Cleaning (Once Per Week): Small properties under 20 units, low foot traffic common areas, limited amenities, and suburban locations with minimal environmental factors.
Twice-Weekly Cleaning: Medium properties 20-50 units, moderate traffic lobbies and stairwells, basic amenities including car parks, and properties with outdoor areas requiring regular attention.
3x Weekly or Daily Cleaning: Large residential complex over 50 units, high-traffic lobbies near Brisbane CBD or Gold Coast, comprehensive amenity spaces, and properties with pools, gyms, or extensive common areas.
Most Brisbane and QLD strata properties benefit from twice-weekly cleaning as the optimal balance between presentation standards and cost efficiency. Our cleaning team works with building managers to establish cleaning schedules that match your specific needs.
