Plan the regular cleaning for your new office separately from the move-out, fit-out or builders' clean. The ongoing service needs a brief for the finished premises: occupied rooms, staff numbers, opening hours, amenities, access and visit frequency.
F&L focuses on recurring commercial cleaning, weekly or more often. We do not take standalone end-of-lease or builders' cleaning jobs. If those tasks are part of your move, keep their arrangements separate from the ongoing service enquiry.
Build the brief around the new premises
The cleaning plan from your old office may not fit the new layout. More meeting rooms, an extra kitchenette or a different mix of flooring can change the job even if your team is the same size.
Record these details before requesting a quote:
| New-office detail | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Address and occupied area | Exact suburb, rooms and levels you use |
| Working pattern | Expected staff, visitors and busy days |
| Amenities | Private versus shared kitchens and bathrooms |
| Floors | Materials and accessible areas |
| Opening date | When the premises are ready for regular use |
| Cleaning window | Permitted hours and late-working patterns |
| Access | Authorised contact and building process |
| Exclusions | Equipment, documents and restricted rooms |
If the floor plan is still changing, say which details are provisional. A quote based on an unfinished layout may need confirmation once the site is ready.
Keep the construction handover clear
Tell your regular cleaner whether fit-out work, furniture assembly or other preparation will still be underway. Ordinary recurring office cleaning should not be assumed to include construction debris or the work of another specialist provider.
Agree when the premises will be ready for assessment and when regular visits could begin. Do not book a start date on the assumption that every move task will be complete without checking with the people managing the project.
For the normal recurring scope, see what a regular commercial clean includes.
Set up access for the new site
Confirm the correct entry, cleaning hours, building sign-in requirements and authorised access contact. A key from the old premises and an instruction to “come after five” are not a complete handover for a new building.
Share sensitive access details through your agreed process. If the building has its own contractor rules, obtain those before the cleaner's first scheduled visit.
Our office preparation checklist covers practical steps such as identifying areas to leave alone.
Review after people move in
The real usage pattern may differ from your plan. Keep track of which meeting rooms are busiest, whether staff use the kitchenette as expected and where rubbish accumulates between visits.
Discuss any changes to scope, frequency and price. Treat the first weeks as a chance to confirm the brief against the workplace you now have, rather than assuming the old office's routine will fit indefinitely.
F&L provides after-hours office cleaning across Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Tweed Heads, subject to address and availability. We bring our own equipment and products, agree a checklist and quote one flat monthly price. Your first clean is free as the start of a suitable ongoing service, not as a separate move-out clean.
