What Commercial Cleaning Should Actually Cost in Perth

Commercial cleaning is quoted three common ways, and the method matters more than the headline rate. Hourly pricing suits small, variable sites. Square-metre rates suit large, repetitive floorplates. Scope-based pricing — a fixed fee for a defined list of tasks — suits almost everyone else.

Scope-based contracts are our default because they align incentives. You know exactly what is delivered each visit, and we are accountable for the outcome rather than the clock.

Watch for the exclusions. Consumables, periodic carpet and floor works, external windows and after-hours callouts are frequently quoted separately, and a low base rate can quietly become the most expensive option once they are added.

Ask any prospective provider for their public liability certificate, their staff induction process and a sample quality audit. A contractor who cannot produce all three on request is not a contractor you want in your building after hours.
