Before you hire
Commercial and office cleaning contracts can look similar on paper but vary significantly in practice. Ask whether the same team attends each visit, what is included beyond the routine clean (carpets, windows, consumables), how they handle missed cleans or complaints, and whether their staff are employees or subcontractors, as this affects accountability and consistency.

Before you hire a commercial cleaner in Wellington
Drawn from 210 customer reviews collected for this page. The first answer is what it costs.
What do commercial cleaners typically charge in New Zealand? expand_more
Standard office cleaning in Wellington runs between $30 and $60 per hour, with Wellington sitting at the higher end of that national range. Larger contracts are often priced on a per-square-metre or monthly retainer basis rather than a straight hourly rate, so ask for both formats when comparing quotes.
One-off deep cleans cost more than scheduled visits, and after-hours work, specialist cleaning such as medical or industrial premises, and high-frequency contracts will each shift the price. Several reviewers noted strong value for money on deep cleans and end-of-tenancy jobs, suggesting fixed-scope quotes for one-off work are worth negotiating upfront.
What checks should a commercial cleaning company do on their staff? expand_more
Reputable operators conduct police vetting, reference checks, and formal induction training before staff enter client premises unsupervised. Police vetting in New Zealand is administered by New Zealand Police and is only available to organisations that have been approved as vetting agencies, so ask any prospective cleaner whether they hold that approval.
For sensitive environments such as government buildings, healthcare facilities, or schools, vetting requirements are usually written into the contract, and you should confirm compliance in writing before work begins. If a company cannot confirm its vetting policy, that is a reasonable reason to keep looking.
What insurance should they carry, and why does it matter? expand_more
Public liability insurance is the minimum you should require before any cleaner enters your premises, as it covers accidental damage to your property or injury to a third party caused during cleaning work. Most commercial clients require at least $1 million to $2 million in cover, and larger contracts or higher-risk sites often specify $5 million or more. WorkSafe New Zealand also requires all businesses to meet their obligations under the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, which means your cleaner must manage risks to their own workers as well as to you and your staff.
What are the warning signs of a commercial cleaning company you shouldn't use? expand_more
- –Slow or no response to complaints after a job is done, with no clear process for following up.
- –Sending different staff each visit without briefing them on your specific requirements or layout.
- –Inability to provide a written scope of work that lists what is and is not included in the quoted price.
- –No mention of staff vetting or insurance when you ask directly, which suggests an informal operation.
- –Pressure to start without a signed contract or any documentation of cleaning frequency and standards.
- –Pricing that is vague or verbal only, making it difficult to hold them accountable if the result falls short.
What should you ask before signing a commercial cleaning contract? expand_more
- –Ask exactly what is included and excluded in the quoted price, covering tasks like oven cleaning, windows, carpet, and waste removal.
- –Ask how staff consistency is managed and what happens when your regular cleaner is sick or leaves the company.
- –Ask what their complaints process is and how quickly they respond if a clean is missed or substandard.
- –Ask what cleaning products they use, particularly if you have health, allergy, or environmental requirements, as some reviewers specifically valued eco-friendly products.
- –Ask what notice period is required to cancel or adjust the contract, and get that term in writing before you sign.
- –Ask whether they hold public liability insurance and, if relevant to your premises, whether staff have undergone police vetting through New Zealand Police.

How are the top commercial cleaners in Wellington chosen? expand_more
We build this page from Google Maps results for commercial cleaners in Wellington. Each one is scored on its public rating and review record. Businesses outside the area, or whose reviews describe a different line of work, are left out, and a business whose main Google category is a different trade is held back until a person has checked what it does. A business whose website no longer resolves and that has had no Google review for six months is treated as dormant and left off the page until either changes. Every category and city is rechecked on a rolling cycle, about every two to three months. A location with a subscribing business is rechecked every month, and the whole page updates with it. See how we rank for the full method.

Why isn't my business listed? expand_more
We build this page from Google Maps results for commercial cleaners in Wellington.
