Sydney Road
A retail strip that never fully closes
Coburg's commercial life runs along Sydney Road, and the cleaning problem it creates is almost entirely about timing. Cafes open early, restaurants close late, and the shops in between want their front of house done when neither is happening.
Hospitality front of house is cleaned before opening or after close, and it is a different scope from an office: hard floors that carry grease as well as dust, glass at eye level that shows every mark, seating and table bases, and washrooms that are used by the public rather than by twenty known people. Kitchen cleaning behind the pass stays with your own staff and your exhaust contractor, and we say so rather than implying otherwise.
Above and behind the strip is a quieter and steadier kind of work: professional suites, allied health rooms, accountants, agencies and consulting rooms, most of them small tenancies that a large contractor cannot service economically and a very small one cannot service reliably.

Timing
Four windows, four prices, stated up front
On a strip like this the window matters more than the scope. Here is what each one costs, so you can work out which is worth paying for before we ever visit.
| Window | Typical premises | Per hour, ex GST |
|---|---|---|
| Daytime, 6am to 6pm weekdays | Consulting rooms, quiet suites, aged care common areas | $58.00 |
| Before 6am or after 6pm | Retail, offices, most of the strip | $64.00 |
| Overnight, finishing midnight to 8am | Late trading hospitality | $72.00 |
| Saturday | Weekend trading retail and food | $78.00 |
| Sunday | Seven day operations | $95.00 |
| Clinical protocol | Allied health, dental, specialist rooms | $72.00 |
Minimum recurring contract $750 plus GST a month. A single small shopfront often will not reach it on its own, and where that is the case we will say so rather than padding a scope. Two or three tenancies under one owner, or a periodic rather than weekly arrangement, usually solves it. Full rate card on commercial cleaning in Melbourne.
Allied health
The rooms behind the shopfronts
Coburg carries a real concentration of allied health: physiotherapy, podiatry, dental, psychology and specialist consulting rooms, often in converted shopfronts or on the first floor above them.
These are quoted at the clinical rate of $72 an hour plus GST, and they get the same documented two step clean and disinfect as a larger practice: soil removed first, then Whiteley Viraclean, AUST L 69000, left for its stated contact time rather than wiped straight off. Colour coded equipment, a chemical register with current safety data sheets, and a scope written per room type. The detail is on medical centre cleaning in Melbourne.
Small clinics get the same protocol as large ones. What changes is the number of hours, not the method, and a contractor who scales the method down to fit a small budget is selling you the appearance of a clinical clean.
Aged care and community services
Coburg has a long established aged care and community services cluster. Common areas, dining rooms, activity spaces, corridors and staff areas, with a documented protocol, screened cleaners and an infection control approach closer to a clinical scope than a commercial one.
Where an organisation runs disability supports alongside aged care, both sit on one agreement. That side is set out on NDIS and disability services cleaning.
Coburg North
Light industrial at the top of the suburb
North of the strip the character changes: smaller industrial units, trade premises, workshops, storage and a scatter of light manufacturing, mixed in with residential rather than sitting in a dedicated estate. Buildings are older and smaller than Campbellfield's, and the amenities are usually a single crib room and one or two toilets.
Those sites are quoted the way any industrial site is, by counting amenities rather than measuring the shed. The approach is on warehouse cleaning in Melbourne. Where a unit is being handed back at the end of a lease, the make good clean is priced per job.

Questions
Coburg cleaning questions
Can you clean a Sydney Road shop before it opens?
Yes, and for most retail that is the sensible window. Work starting before 6am is quoted at $64 an hour plus GST because the award pays a loading for it. If your shop can be cleaned after 9am on a quiet day, the daytime rate of $58 applies and we will tell you when that is realistic rather than defaulting to the more expensive window.
Do you clean restaurant and cafe kitchens?
Front of house, hard floors, glass, seating, table bases and public washrooms, yes. Behind the pass, no. Commercial kitchen cleaning and exhaust canopy cleaning are specialist trades with their own compliance requirements, and we will refer you rather than take work we are not set up to certify. We will clean the front of house around a kitchen that somebody else services.
What does a small consulting room cost to clean?
Allied health and consulting rooms are quoted at the clinical rate of $72 an hour plus GST because they get the full two step clean and disinfect protocol. A small suite may need only ninety minutes a visit, so the monthly figure is modest, but a single small tenancy often will not reach our $750 plus GST monthly minimum on its own. Two or three suites in one building usually will.
Is the clinical protocol different for a small clinic?
No. The method is identical: soil removed with detergent first, then a TGA listed hospital grade disinfectant left for its stated contact time, with colour coded equipment and a chemical register. What changes is the number of hours, not the protocol. A contractor who thins the method to fit a small budget is selling you the appearance of a clinical clean rather than the clean.
Do you work in Coburg North as well?
Yes, and there is no travel charge across Coburg, Coburg North or Pascoe Vale. Coburg North is mostly smaller industrial units, trade premises and workshops mixed in with housing. Those are quoted by counting amenities rather than measuring floor area, the same way we quote any industrial site.
Can you take on a building with several different tenants?
Yes, and it is common along this strip. We can quote it as one contract with the building owner or manager covering common areas and all tenancies, as separate small contracts per tenant with their own scopes and invoices, or as a hybrid where the owner covers common property and tenants opt in. Whichever suits how the building is actually run.
Where do you buy your chemicals?
Locally, which is part of why we can hold our prices. There are several cleaning supply businesses along and around Sydney Road in Coburg and in Campbellfield, and our disinfectant, Whiteley Viraclean AUST L 69000, is stocked in the north at a price that made it a launch purchase for us rather than something we defer until a client insists.
