Stairway & Community Cleaning in Barcelona

Over 70,000 Buildings with Common Areas to Maintain

Barcelona has more than 70,000 residential buildings. Most are older properties with worn marble staircases, lobbies with original hydraulic tile floors and lifts that collect dust and fingerprints within hours. Common areas are the building's first impression, and keeping them in good condition is not just an aesthetic matter. It affects daily life for residents, property values and community harmony.

In-House Team with Contracts and Insurance

Casa Fresca provides professional stairway and community cleaning across every neighbourhood in Barcelona. Our team is fully in-house, with employment contracts, civil liability insurance and specific training for residential building maintenance. We never subcontract.

The person who cleans your building is the same one every week. They know every corner, understand which products work on each surface and follow a routine that ensures nothing gets missed.

Service Tailored to Each Community

We work with residents' associations, property managers and community presidents. We adapt to the community's budget, the size of the building and the areas that need maintenance. From a 4-storey building in the Barri Gòtic to a grand 8-storey property in the Eixample, complete with lobby, communal terrace and garage.

Weekly, Fortnightly or Twice-Weekly Service

The right frequency depends on the building. A 6-storey block with 12 residents, a lift and a communal terrace usually works well with weekly cleaning. Smaller buildings of 3-4 floors without a lift can be maintained with fortnightly service.

If the building has holiday rental flats with constant check-ins and check-outs of suitcases, the foot traffic multiplies and cleaning twice a week is usually necessary.

Schedules That Fit Your Residents' Routine

We clean at the time that least disrupts residents. The most common slot is early morning (between 7:00 and 10:00), before most residents leave home. In buildings with ground-floor shops, some prefer a midday slot. We adapt to your community's routine and always keep the same day and time window.

Work Protocol and Incident Reporting

Every visit follows a defined protocol that we review with the property manager or president at the start of the contract. The team signs a work sheet on every visit so there is a record of the service performed. If any resident spots an issue (a blown light bulb, a forced letterbox, a leak in the lobby), we report it to the property manager immediately.

Signs It Is Time to Make a Change

Many communities have had the same cleaning company or the same freelance cleaner for years. Sometimes it works. Other times, quality has dropped over time, nobody answers when there is a problem and residents complain at every meeting. If your community is in that situation, switching is not complicated.

The Difference of Working with a Professional Team

With Casa Fresca, the difference comes down to structure. In-house staff with employment contracts. If the person who cleans your building falls ill or goes on holiday, we send a trained substitute from our team. You never miss a service.

Civil liability insurance covering any incident during cleaning. Direct WhatsApp communication with your account manager, not a call centre.

We provide a detailed quote that the president or property manager can present at the residents' meeting. It includes a breakdown by area, frequency, products, schedules and monthly price. Once the meeting approves it, we coordinate to start on a date that works with no interruptions to the service. The switch is straightforward and free of complicated paperwork.
