SOAKD Exterior Cleaning is a professional exterior cleaning company servicing Sydney, the Central Coast, and Newcastle. We work with strata managers, body corporate committees, and building managers who need a reliable exterior cleaning partner - one who maintains common property to the standard owners and residents expect, with the documentation that compliance requires.
Strata and body corporate properties carry specific obligations around common property maintenance. The exterior of the building - roofs, building exteriors, common area paths, car parks, and shared outdoor spaces - is common property that the strata committee is responsible for maintaining. Regular exterior cleaning is not just about appearance; it protects the building's structural integrity, maintains property values, and demonstrates the committee's duty of care.
Why Strata Properties Need Professional Exterior Cleaning
- Owner satisfaction: Clean common areas and well-maintained building exteriors directly impact owner satisfaction, lot values, and the perception of the strata scheme's management quality.
- Compliance obligations: Strata committees have a legal obligation to maintain common property in a reasonable condition. Documented maintenance programs demonstrate this duty of care.
- Safety management: Slippery paths, blocked gutters, and poorly maintained car parks create liability exposure for the strata scheme. Regular cleaning addresses these hazards proactively.
- Asset protection: Building exteriors that are regularly cleaned last longer. Coatings, render, and paintwork all deteriorate faster when exposed to unchecked biological growth and environmental build-up.
Strata-Specific Services
- Commercial building wash: Full exterior wall cleaning for rendered, brick, and cladded building exteriors including balcony balustrades and common area walls.
- Common area pressure cleaning: Driveways, paths, pool surrounds, car parks, bin storage areas, and common outdoor spaces cleaned to remove slip hazards and biological growth.
- Roof and gutter cleaning: Softwash roof treatment and gutter clearing across the entire building roofline, including downpipe flushing and condition assessment.
- Window cleaning: Common area and external window cleaning using purified water systems for streak-free results.
- Solar panel cleaning: Safe cleaning of rooftop solar arrays on strata buildings.
Documentation and Reporting
Every service visit includes comprehensive documentation: before-and-after photography, scope of work completed, condition notes, and maintenance recommendations. This documentation supports your annual maintenance records, insurance requirements, and AGM reporting.
Strata Cleaning Across Sydney, Central Coast & Newcastle
SOAKD provides scheduled strata and body corporate exterior cleaning programs across coastal NSW. Each region has its own exposure profile - and our programs are scoped accordingly.
- Newcastle strata managers: we run programs across Newcastle CBD, Merewether, Hamilton, Cooks Hill, Mayfield, Charlestown, Lambton, New Lambton, Stockton, and the broader Hunter. Newcastle's mix of heritage Federation buildings, mid-rise apartment complexes, and harbourside developments each have their own surface and access requirements - and our crews carry the height-access certification, SWMS documentation, and commercial-grade equipment to handle them. Browse Newcastle suburbs we service.
- Sydney owners corporations: we cover strata complexes across Sydney including the Northern Beaches, North Shore, Upper North Shore, Eastern Suburbs, Inner West, and Sutherland Shire. Sydney programs typically run bi-annually for inland complexes and quarterly for coastal exposures.
- Central Coast strata schemes: we service strata complexes across the Coast - Gosford, Terrigal, Avoca Beach, The Entrance, Wyong, Umina Beach, Ettalong Beach, and surrounding suburbs. Coast strata schemes within 5 km of the beach generally run quarterly programs to manage salt-aerosol exposure on Colorbond roofs and rendered walls.
Built for Strata Procurement
Strata managers and owners corporation committees have specific procurement requirements that ad-hoc contractors typically cannot meet: documented SWMS for every visit, current insurance certificates, structured pricing across the scheduled program, photo-reporting in formats that drop into maintenance records, and a single point of contact for the whole portfolio. SOAKD is built around these requirements - it is the same operational discipline we use for our commercial property and facility manager clients.
For committees comparing exterior cleaning providers: ask for the contractor's height-access qualifications, SWMS template, certificate of currency for public liability (minimum $20 million for strata work), and a sample completion report from a similar building. If a provider cannot produce all four within 24 hours, they are not built for strata work.
