What Affects Your Cleaning Price?

Your monthly rate (your commercial cleaning cost) is determined during our on-site visit based on:

  • Building size and layout- a 150m² office typically needs 2 hours per clean; a 300-400m² office needs 3.5-4 hours. Most Wellington contracts are priced on estimated cleaning time, not square metres.

  • Cleaning frequency (weekly, twice-weekly, daily)

  • Number of bathrooms

  • Kitchen or staff room facilities

  • Floor types (vinyl, carpet, timber, tile)

  • Security and access requirements

  • Waste removal needs

  • Specialized standards (clinical, deep clean, food safety)

More shared spaces and higher foot traffic mean more time required on site. Optional add-ons like carpet cleaning service cost can be quoted separately. We'll assess everything during your free visit and provide a clear monthly price.

What Gets Cleaned in a Standard Visit?

Small Office Package (typically 2 hours):

  • Surface wipe-downs throughout

  • Two bathrooms cleaned and restocked

  • Bin emptying and liner replacement

  • Vacuum and mop main areas

  • Kitchen surfaces and sink

Medium Office Package (typically 3 hours):

  • All standard cleaning tasks

  • Multiple bathrooms and kitchen deep clean

  • Touch-point sanitization

  • Meeting rooms and staff areas

  • Reception and common spaces

Actual cleaning time depends on your layout, daily foot traffic, and specific requirements identified during the site assessment.

How to Compare Commercial Cleaning Quotes

Don't compare price alone. During your site visit, ask about:

  • Clear cleaning checklist -- what's included each visit

  • Staff training and vetting -- who enters your building (professional cleaners, security-checked)

  • Eco-friendly cleaning solutions -- safe for staff and environment

  • Quality checks -- regular audits and accountability

  • Flexible scheduling -- after-hours or secure access, and extra support when office cleaners needed

  • Industry experience -- offices, clinics, schools or gyms, and corporate cleaning

  • Insurance and compliance -- health and safety systems

Budget quotes often mean rushed service, inconsistent staff, or hidden costs later. Thinking of switching providers? → How to switch commercial cleaning companies in Wellington

Frequently asked questions

How much does office cleaning cost in Wellington?

Most small offices pay from $190/month for weekly cleaning, medium offices from $250/month, and larger offices from $400/month for twice-weekly service. Your exact price depends on size, layout, and specific requirements assessed during a free site visit.

Specialized services like clinical-grade disinfection or deep cleaning are discussed during your assessment. For compliance and insurance documentation → see our compliance page

Why do commercial cleaning quotes vary so much in Wellington?

Price differences almost always come down to three things: how much time the cleaner actually spends on site (a cheap quote usually means less time per visit), whether staff are properly trained and vetted, and what products are used. A quote that's 30% cheaper than others usually reflects a trade-off in one of these areas — rushed visits, unvetted staff, or low-grade chemicals.

Is it cheaper to hire an in-house cleaner or outsource to a commercial cleaning company?

For most Wellington businesses under 50 staff, outsourcing works out cheaper once you factor in PAYE, KiwiSaver, ACC levies, holiday pay, equipment, and product costs. In-house cleaning typically only makes financial sense at 100+ staff or when you need multiple cleans per day. We can run through the numbers specific to your situation at a site visit.

What should a commercial cleaning quote include?

A proper quote should specify: which tasks are included every visit, the cleaning schedule and frequency, which products are used and whether they're eco-certified, who will be cleaning your building, how quality is checked between visits, what's excluded, and your fixed monthly price with conditions for any price changes.

What is the notice period to cancel a commercial cleaning contract in Wellington?

Standard notice periods in NZ commercial cleaning contracts range from 30 to 90 days. Our contracts require 30 days written notice with no long lock-in periods. We keep clients through service quality, not contract terms.

Why are some cleaning companies more expensive than others in Wellington?

The main differences are staff vetting (MOJ-checked staff costs more to maintain), product quality (certified eco products cost more than standard chemicals), quality monitoring (inspection processes take time), and whether the company carries proper public liability insurance. The cheapest option rarely includes all of these.
