Commercial cleaning for Wellington and Kāpiti premises
Waikanae Commercial Cleaning Services provides contract commercial cleaning across Wellington, from the CBD north through Porirua and the Hutt Valley to the Kāpiti Coast. We have been cleaning business premises since 1987.
Most cleaning contracts do not fail on technique. They fail on reliability: a cleaner who does not turn up, a supervisor you cannot reach, standards that slip three months in once the contract is signed. Everything below is built around removing those failure points.

Consistent quality, checked by regular inspection rather than assumed
What our commercial cleaning covers
Scope is agreed in writing before we start, and quoted against that scope rather than a generic package. A typical Wellington contract includes some or all of the following:

Daily and weekly contract cleaning
- Reception, meeting rooms, open-plan areas and private offices
- Kitchens, staff rooms and breakout spaces, including appliance exteriors
- Bathrooms, including consumable restocking and sanitary services
- Vacuuming, mopping and spot-cleaning of all traffic areas
- Internal glass, partitions and entrance doors
- Rubbish and recycling collection to your building’s designated point
- Lift interiors, stairwells and shared corridors where these fall in scope
Periodic and scheduled work
- Hard floor care: stripping, sealing, buffing and polishing of vinyl, tile and timber
- Commercial carpet cleaning and spot treatment
- Interior and exterior window and glass cleaning
- Exterior building washing, cladding and hard-surface cleaning
- High-level dusting, vents and light fittings
- Upholstery and partition cleaning


One-off cleans
- Pre-opening and pre-inspection cleans
- Seasonal deep cleans, including over Christmas closedown

Commercial cleaning is not one job. A dental practice, a distribution warehouse and a 40-desk office each need a different scope, a different schedule and different products. We work across:
How a contract with us works
- Site visit. We walk the building with you. Floor area alone tells us very little: what matters is how the space is used, how many people are in it, what the surfaces are, and when we can get access.
- Written scope. You get a task list with frequencies against it, so there is no argument later about whether something was included.
- Quote against that scope. One price, itemised, with periodic work shown separately from the regular schedule.
- Schedule and access. We agree timing, keys or access cards, alarm procedure and who to contact out of hours.
- Start and review. We check in during the first month, when problems are cheap to fix, rather than waiting for you to complain.
- Ongoing quality checks. A supervisor inspects the site weekly, not just the paperwork.


What drives the price of commercial cleaning
- Frequency. Five nights a week costs more per week than two, but usually less per clean, because the site never gets far out of condition.
- Floor area and layout. An open floor cleans faster per square metre than the same area broken into small rooms.
- How the space is used. A busy reception and a quiet back office are not the same job.
- Surfaces. Carpet, vinyl, polished concrete and timber each carry different time and product costs.
- Bathrooms and kitchens. These drive a large share of the labour in most contracts.
- Access hours. Work outside normal hours, or in buildings with restricted access, costs more to staff.
- Consumables. Whether hand towel, soap and liners are supplied by us or by you.
Quotes for the same building can differ widely, and it is usually because they are not quoting the same work. These are the factors that actually move the number:
When you compare quotes, compare the scope documents rather than the totals. A cheaper price with bathrooms cleaned three times a week instead of five is not a cheaper price.
How we work with you
Areas we cover
Wellington CBD, Te Aro, Thorndon, Newtown, Kilbirnie and Miramar. North through Johnsonville, Tawa and Porirua. East across Petone, Seaview, Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt. North again to Paraparaumu, Raumati, Waikanae and Ōtaki.
Why businesses stay with us
We have been cleaning commercial premises in this region since 1987, which is close to forty years. The business operates from 6 Parata Street in Waikanae. Our Google rating is 5.0 from 21 reviews.
Longevity in this industry is not an accident. Commercial cleaning has low barriers to entry and a high failure rate, and contracts are lost through unreliability far more often than through poor cleaning. Staying in business for four decades means the same clients keep renewing.
Frequently asked questions
How much does commercial cleaning cost in Wellington?
It depends on the factors listed above, principally frequency, floor area, surfaces and access hours. We do not quote by square metre alone because it produces a number that is wrong for most buildings. Book a site visit and you will get a written scope and a fixed price against it.
Do you clean outside business hours?
Yes, and most contracts are cleaned before staff arrive or after they leave. Our operating hours are Monday to Friday, 7am to 9pm, and schedules are set around when your premises are empty. Explore after-hours cleaning.
Is there a minimum contract term?
No. We take on scheduled contracts and one-off cleans. We would rather scope the site properly than fit it to a package that does not suit it.
What is included in a standard clean?
Whatever the written scope says, which is agreed before the contract starts. Typically that is bathrooms, kitchens, reception, all traffic areas, internal glass and rubbish removal, with periodic work such as floor care and windows scheduled separately.
Do you clean houses?
We are a commercial cleaner. The two exceptions are exterior house washing and residential window cleaning, both on the Kāpiti Coast, which we take on when people ask.
How quickly can you start?
That depends on the size of the site and the schedule you need, so ask us when we visit and we will give you a straight answer rather than an optimistic one.
Who do I contact if something is missed?
Our manager, directly. You deal directly with our manager, whose contact details you are given when the contract starts.
Are your cleaners vetted?
Yes. Our cleaners are fully trained, insured and police-vetted.
How often does a supervisor visit?
Weekly. A supervisor physically attends and inspects the site against the written scope, rather than only when something is raised.
