If it's part of your building, we clean it.
How Our Body Corporate Cleaning Service Works
Site visit and scope assessment — we walk the building, understand the layout, traffic levels, and specific requirements. Site visits are typically arranged within 24–48 hours of enquiry.
Custom cleaning schedule — we build a schedule around your building's needs, not a generic template
Dedicated team assigned — the same crew is allocated to your building so they know it inside out
Ongoing quality checks — regular audits and a direct point of contact so issues get resolved before they become problems
No long onboarding process. Most buildings are up and running within a week of approval, with no disruption to residents or building operations.
Common Situations We Handle
Replacing an unreliable cleaner — we can take over quickly with minimal disruption
Pre-inspection or pre-settlement cleaning — thorough clean before building inspections or tenant changeovers
High-traffic buildings needing daily coverage — consistent daily presence across lobbies, lifts, and entry points
Urgent spill or incident response — available 24/7 for callouts when something needs sorting fast
Buildings coming out of construction — post-build cleans before residents move in
24/7 Availability
Buildings don't run 9 to 5, and neither do we. Clean Planet Wellington is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — including public holidays.
If something needs attention outside business hours, we're a phone call away.
Why Not Use In-House or Casual Cleaners?
Many buildings start with ad hoc arrangements. Most regret it.
No consistency — results vary depending on who shows up
High turnover — constant retraining, constant gaps in service
No quality control — no one auditing the work or accountable for the results
No sick day coverage — your building goes uncleaned when someone calls in
Clean Planet Wellington provides a fully managed, consistent service with built-in accountability. One point of contact. Regular audits. No gaps.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is body corporate cleaning?
Body corporate cleaning is the regular cleaning and maintenance of shared common areas in apartment buildings, commercial complexes, and mixed-use developments. This includes lobbies, lifts, stairwells, car parks, bin rooms, corridors, and entry areas — spaces that residents and visitors move through every day. Unlike individual unit cleaning, body corporate cleaning focuses on shared spaces and sets the standard for how a building presents itself. Clean Planet Wellington provides scheduled body corporate cleaning across Wellington CBD, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, Porirua, and the Kāpiti Coast, with fixed monthly pricing and a single point of contact for all sites.
What areas of Wellington do you cover for body corporate cleaning?
Clean Planet Wellington covers the full Greater Wellington region — Wellington CBD, Te Aro, Thorndon, Lower Hutt, Petone, Upper Hutt, Porirua, Kāpiti Coast, and surrounding suburbs. Property managers and body corporate committees with buildings across multiple locations can consolidate cleaning under a single contract with centralised reporting and one point of contact. We currently manage body corporate and common area cleaning across all five of our service territories from the same regional management team.
How much does body corporate cleaning cost in Wellington?
Costs depend on building size, number of common areas, cleaning frequency, and access requirements. A mid-size apartment building with a lobby, two lifts, and shared corridors on weekly cleaning typically costs $599–$800/month. Larger complexes with car parks, multiple stairwells, and outdoor paths are quoted individually. All Clean Planet Wellington quotes are fixed monthly prices — the figure agreed after the site assessment is the figure on your invoice, with no hidden fees or variable charges. Contact us for a same-day quote.
Do you provide fixed monthly pricing for body corporates?
Yes. Every body corporate client receives a fixed monthly price agreed upfront after a site assessment. No variable charges based on hours worked, no fuel surcharges, and no surprise invoices at month end. If requirements change — new areas added or frequency adjusted — pricing is updated in writing before the change takes effect. Body corporate committees and property managers consistently tell us this predictability is one of the main reasons they stay long term.
Can you service multiple buildings under one contract?
Yes. Clean Planet Wellington works with property managers and body corporate companies managing multiple buildings across the Wellington region. Multi-building clients receive a single contract, consolidated monthly invoicing, and one point of contact for scheduling, quality issues, and reporting across all sites. This removes the administrative overhead of managing separate cleaning relationships for each building. We currently service multi-site portfolios across all five of our service territories and can add new buildings to an existing agreement without disruption.
How often should apartment buildings be cleaned?
Most apartment buildings need at least weekly cleaning of lobbies, lifts, and corridors. High-traffic buildings — 20+ units, ground-floor retail, or short-stay accommodation — often need three to five cleans per week to maintain standards. Car parks and bin rooms typically need weekly attention with a more thorough clean monthly. Lift interiors and entry glass deteriorate quickly in public-facing buildings and often justify more frequent service. We recommend a schedule based on your building's traffic, unit count, and what your owners committee expects.
What's included in common area cleaning?
Common area cleaning covers all shared spaces: lobbies (vacuuming, mopping, surface wiping, entry glass), lifts (floors, walls, buttons, mirrors), stairwells (sweeping, mopping, handrail wiping), corridors (vacuuming and wall spot-cleaning), car parks (sweeping and litter removal), bin rooms (floor cleaning and odour management), common bathrooms, and outdoor entry paths. The exact scope is set at your site assessment based on your building's layout and the standards your body corporate expects. Everything is documented in a written cleaning specification before the first visit.
Can you replace an existing cleaner quickly?
Yes. Most body corporate clients are transitioned within one week — site assessment on day one, cleaning specification and pricing agreed by day three, team introduced and access arranged by day five, first clean completed by end of week one. For urgent situations — a cleaner who has stopped showing up, an upcoming building inspection, or an emergency clean — contact us on 022 157 5535 and we will confirm availability the same day. We manage the transition without disrupting your building or residents.
What happens if we're not satisfied with the cleaning?
Contact Mohan directly by phone or text and it is resolved at the next scheduled clean or sooner. No call centre, no account manager rotation, no waiting for a callback. If the issue is urgent — a significant miss before a building inspection or a resident complaint — we return the same day at no charge. Direct accountability to the Regional Manager is how we maintain standards without relying on complaint systems to catch problems after the fact.
Do you offer after-hours or emergency cleaning?
Yes. Scheduled after-hours cleaning is available for body corporate buildings that need common areas cleaned outside resident hours — typically early morning or evening slots set at your site assessment. Emergency callouts are available for spills, biohazards, flood damage, or unexpected cleaning requirements. For urgent requests, call 022 157 5535 directly and we will confirm availability and response time the same day.
Do you supply cleaning products and equipment?
Yes. Clean Planet Wellington provides all cleaning products, equipment, and consumables for every body corporate clean. Buildings don't need to supply or store anything. All products are Sensitive Choice certified — independently tested as safe for people with asthma, allergies, and chemical sensitivities — and manufactured in New Zealand. We also hold BioGro organic certification on select products. If your building has specific product restrictions or requirements, these are documented at the site assessment and followed consistently.
Are your staff MOJ checked?
Yes. Every Clean Planet Wellington staff member holds a current Ministry of Justice criminal history check before working on any site, including body corporate buildings. This is our standard across all site types — not just schools or government buildings. Staff are also reference-verified and trained in building access procedures, security protocols, and key management. For buildings with restricted access or alarm systems, we coordinate with your building manager before the first visit and document all procedures in writing.
Do you offer window cleaning for body corporate buildings?
Yes. Window cleaning for common-area glass — entry doors, lobby windows, stairwell glazing, and ground-floor exterior glass — is available as part of our body corporate service. Frequency is set at your site assessment based on building exposure, foot traffic, and the standards your owners committee expects. For high-rise exterior glass requiring rope access or elevated platforms, this is quoted separately. Most body corporate window cleaning is scheduled monthly or quarterly alongside the regular common area clean.
