Cleaning Rates Gordon
These are our current commercial cleaning rates for Gordon NSW 2072 and the surrounding Upper North Shore. Most cleaning companies keep hourly rates behind a quote form; we publish them, because a business comparing cleaners for a Pacific Highway suite or a Gordon Centre tenancy deserves the real numbers before the sales call.

Comparing Quotes Fairly
An hourly rate only means something next to the hours proposed and what fills them. A $32 quote covering four thin hours a week can deliver less than a $38 quote with five well-planned ones. Ask every bidder for the same three artefacts — scope document, weekly hours, consumables treatment — and the comparison becomes arithmetic. Worked monthly budgets by property type are in our Gordon cost guide, and service detail sits on our office, retail, gym and aged care pages.

Minimum Visits and Small-Site Pricing in Gordon
The question smaller Gordon operators ask most is whether the rate card still works at their scale — a two-hour office, a consulting room used three days a week, a kiosk tenancy. It does, with one honest caveat: visits carry a two-hour practical minimum, because travel, setup and reporting cost the same whether we clean for one hour or four. Small sites get better value from fewer, longer visits — a thorough twice-weekly service almost always beats a rushed nightly one at the same monthly spend — and we will say so in the quote rather than sell the extra nights. Nearby operators sometimes share a run: two Gordon tenancies in the same building, or a pairing like Gordon and Killara, scheduled back-to-back so each carries less of the travel overhead. The rate card is the starting point; the schedule built around it is where a small site's budget is actually won.
Cleaning Rates Gordon — FAQs
Do your Gordon rates include equipment and products?
Yes. Machinery, microfibre systems and all chemicals — including TGA-approved hospital-grade disinfectants for wet areas — are inside the hourly rate. Site consumables such as bin liners, toilet paper and hand soap are itemised separately so you only pay for what your site uses.
Is there a minimum booking in Gordon?
One hour per visit. Small Pacific Highway suites often run efficient 60 to 90 minute visits two or three times a week — an honest schedule beats a padded one.
Do rates rise for after-hours or weekend cleaning?
Evening and early-morning contract work is priced within the standard bands — it is our normal operating window across Gordon. Weekend and public holiday one-off work may carry a modest loading, always disclosed in the quote before you book.
How do these rates compare with the rest of Sydney?
Gordon sits a few percent above the metropolitan median, reflecting award-compliant wages and the compliance load of the suburb's medical, education and care facilities. Contractors quoting far below the $30 floor are usually cutting one of those two corners.
Can we lock rates in for a term?
Rates are fixed for twelve months in every agreement, with any subsequent adjustment tied to award wage movements and flagged sixty days ahead. Agreements stay month-to-month with 30 days notice — fixed pricing, no lock-in.
