Compare QuotesPremises Providers Quote For
| Premises | Typical considerations |
|---|---|
| Offices | Roof access through the building, cleaning before or after hours |
| Shops and shopping centres | Trading hours, centre management sign-off, deliveries |
| Hotels | Guest areas, noise and water run-off near pools or terraces |
| Schools and churches | School holidays, weekdays when buildings are empty |
| Sectional-title properties | Trustee approval, shared roofs, notice to residents |
Larger Rooftop Arrays
Commercial roofs often carry dozens or hundreds of panels on IBR sheeting or flat concrete. Providers check walkways, safe routes between rows, water supply on the roof and where run-off goes before they quote.
Scheduling Around Business Operations
Cleaning can be split into sections, or done early, late or on weekends to avoid customers, staff and deliveries. Say which times work when you request quotes, as after-hours work may cost more.
Site Access and Property Management
- Who holds keys and roof hatch access.
- Approval from trustees, the managing agent or centre management.
- A named site contact on the day.
- Parking for the provider's vehicle and equipment.
- Any induction, contractor safety file or permit your site requires.
Once-Off Work and Recurring Contracts
A once-off clean shows the condition of the array and gives you a baseline price. Recurring contracts, usually quarterly or twice a year, fix the schedule and often lower the per-visit rate.
