Strata Exterior Maintenance: How Often to Wash Buildings and Common Areas

Quick answer

A planned schedule keeps strata buildings presentable and common areas safe. As a general guide: building washes every 12–24 months, common-area paths and car parks every 6–12 months, and roofs inspected and cleaned as needed.

Why plan exterior cleaning?

Regular cleaning protects paint and finishes, reduces slip hazards on paths and stairs, and keeps the building attractive for owners, tenants and buyers. Planning ahead also makes budgeting easier for the committee.

A typical maintenance schedule

  • Building facade and eaves: every 12–24 months
  • Common paths, stairs and entries: every 6–12 months
  • Car parks and driveways: every 6–12 months
  • Bin areas: as needed
  • Roofs: inspect annually, clean when growth appears

What to ask a contractor
