THE PAPERWORKIS AS SERIOUSAS THE WASH.
Full exterior washdowns for body corporates, shopfronts, schools, childcare and government sites — scheduled around your tenants, documented before we arrive, and insured to $20M.
A COMMERCIALCLEAN IS ALOGISTICS JOBWEARING ACLEANING JOB’SCLOTHES.
On a residential property the hard part is the surface. On a commercial site the surface is the easy part — what actually decides whether the job goes well is everything around it. Who is on site and when. Which walkway can be closed and for how long. Whether the childcare centre has children in it. Where several hundred litres a minute of runoff is going, and whose stormwater it becomes.
That is why the documentation comes before the equipment. A site-specific SWMS, current certificates of currency, and a schedule agreed with whoever has to answer to the tenants. Building managers and committees are not being difficult when they ask for that up front — they are being asked for it themselves.
The advantage of a small operation here is that the person writing the method statement is the person on the tools. Nothing is delegated down a chain until the detail falls out of it.
WHAT WE CANPUT IN FRONTOF YOURCOMMITTEE.
Working history that a committee can check: Ergon Energy, Cairns Regional Council, Reef City Maintenance and Kanda Care have all engaged this business directly, and Wet Dream is a Department of Veterans’ Affairs preferred provider for gold-card veterans.
One point of honesty that saves everybody time: QBuild work is reached by subcontracting under Reef City Maintenance, who hold the accreditation. We are not QBuild registered ourselves, and we won’t tell you otherwise to win a tender.

WHAT WE WON’TPUT IN ATENDER.
QBuild registration
We don’t hold it. QBuild work is reached by subcontracting under Reef City Maintenance’s accreditation, and we’ll say so on the form.
Anything above three storeys
A liability ceiling. No drone work, so no hotel towers and no high-rise soft washing.
Trade repairs & maintenance
Roofing, plumbing, electrical and painting are other people’s licences. We clean, and we document what we find.
Emergency & storm response
We are not an emergency service. Work is booked, planned and scheduled.
Internal cleaning
Exterior only. We don’t compete with your commercial cleaner.
Bird proofing & exclusion
We’ll clean up after the birds. Keeping them out needs a qualified installer.
Every one of these is a line we would rather hold than win a job we can’t deliver properly. That tends to be the point of the exercise for a facilities manager.
WHAT GETSAGREED BEFOREANYONE ARRIVES.
The site walk on a commercial job is mostly about people and water. Both need somewhere to be.
Occupancy & access windows
When the site is empty, which areas can be closed, and for how long. Most work lands after hours or on weekends.
Runoff & stormwater
Where wash water travels, which inlets it reaches, and what containment the site needs.
Tenant & resident notice
Who tells occupants what is happening and when — agreed with the manager or committee up front.
Exclusion zones & signage
Barricading, signage and pedestrian routing around live walkways.
Services & fittings
External power, security cameras, sensors, air-conditioning units and comms gear all identified before water moves.
Documentation trail
SWMS, certificates of currency and inductions completed before the first day rather than at the gate.
A commercial roof in Cairns. Same low-pressure treatment as a house, across a very different footprint.
HOW ACOMMERCIAL JOBRUNS.

THE THINGSPEOPLE ACTUALLYASK.
Still not covered? Ring Blake on 0495 090 010. Enquiries are answered the same day.
Can you supply a SWMS and certificates of currency?
Yes, site-specific and before commencement rather than on request afterwards. $20M public liability, White Card and Working at Heights are all current, and the Blue Card is held for school and childcare sites.
Are you QBuild registered?
No. QBuild work is reached by subcontracting under Reef City Maintenance, who hold the accreditation. QBuild requires licences that pressure cleaning as a trade does not carry, so it is not something we can register for directly — and we would rather tell you that plainly than have it come out during a tender.
Can you work outside business hours?
Yes, and for most commercial sites it is the default. Shopfronts, childcare centres and offices are generally cleaned after hours or on weekends so nothing disrupts trade.
Who have you worked for locally?
Ergon Energy, Cairns Regional Council, Reef City Maintenance and Kanda Care have all engaged us directly, and we are a Department of Veterans’ Affairs preferred provider for gold-card veterans.
How high can you work?
Up to three storeys. That is a liability ceiling rather than an equipment one, and we hold it — there is no drone work here, so high-rise and hotel towers are outside what we take on.
Can you set up a regular maintenance schedule?
Yes, and for most commercial sites it is the sensible arrangement. A clean generally holds about six months in this climate before growth returns, so scheduled visits either side of the wet season keep a site presentable without anyone having to notice it slipping first.
