Cleaning in Ramersdorf-Perlach

Between Munich’s middle ring road and the south-eastern city boundary lies Neuperlach, a housing estate drawn up on the planning board, next to the old village centres of Ramersdorf and Alt-Perlach and the family houses of Waldperlach. In these estates, cleaning Ramersdorf-Perlach almost always means working through many entrances behind one address – and it stands or falls on each one being recorded separately.

An address in Neuperlach often carries one house number followed by the letters a to f. For cleaning that is no formality: without a line of its own for each entrance, nobody can later say whether c or e was due on Tuesday. We record storeys, floor material, the water point, the access route and the visit date separately per entrance – and post the record where residents actually see it.

The advantage of a planned large estate is repetition. Within one construction phase the flights, landings and floor materials are almost identical, so two carefully measured entrances carry the time estimate for the whole block. Across construction phases that no longer holds: the older rows in Ramersdorf have different handrails, tighter landings and terrazzo more often than screed. They are costed separately.

How the district grew

Ramersdorf is old — its village core with the pilgrimage church was long a destination for pilgrims and now sits like an island between roads and housing blocks.

Perlach is its opposite. In the 1960s and 1970s Munich was short of tens of thousands of homes, and a whole satellite town was built to the south-east: Neuperlach. Towers, long terraces, broad green strips between them, shops and schools planned in from the start.

For cleaning that is straightforward: large buildings with many parties, lifts, underground parking and long corridors. The effort here is not delicate material but sheer area.

What you will find here

Buildings in the district

  • Slab blocks and point towers of the Neuperlach housing estate
  • Courtyard blocks whose entrances open onto interior paths rather than the street
  • House numbers with letter suffixes – one long block, many separate entrances
  • Underground garages and parking decks beneath or beside the residential blocks
  • Wide green corridors and footpaths between the rows of buildings
  • Smaller-scale older housing in Ramersdorf and around the core of Alt-Perlach
  • Office and commercial space along the arterial roads in the south of the district

What usually comes up

  • Stairwell cleaning driven by an entrance list, not by street address
  • Lift lobbies, cars and door tracks on a short cycle
  • Sweeping bin rooms and recycling points, wiping handles and lid edges
  • Stairs and lobbies at the underground garage entrances
  • Letterbox banks, bicycle stores and pram rooms
  • Vacancy cleaning at tenant changes while the building stays occupied
  • Glass in entrance and lobby doors within reach

Access and parking

  • Easy access via the middle ring road, Ständlerstraße and Karl-Marx-Ring, even with a loaded vehicle
  • Most estates have visitor parking, frequently signposted as private ground
  • Underground garages and retractable bollards need a fob or clearance arranged in advance
  • Entrances on interior paths: a site plan with entrance numbers saves the first half hour
  • Short distances within an estate – several entrances can be grouped into one working day

What is different here

Point block and lobby

In the point blocks the work shifts from the stairs to the lift lobby: someone on the twelfth floor rarely enters the staircase but uses the lobby daily. A time estimate that weights the two equally misses how the building is actually used.

The dirt load is almost always heaviest at the entrance coming up from the underground garage. Tyre wear, drip water and grit residue from the cold months meet there and travel up the steps. Taking that section into the same visit keeps the rest of the entrance noticeably cleaner for longer. The garage floor itself is different work: covered in lanes rather than step by step, and shown as a separate item.

Refuse room and water point

In the large schemes refuse rooms and recycling points often serve several buildings and sit away from the entrances. Whatever has been left beside them we put back; bulky items we do not touch and report instead. The limit is where cleaning would turn into disposal – that is the waste service's job, and we are not permitted to do it.

What is missing here more often than in the older inner-city quarters is a water point inside the entrance itself. Many slab blocks have one only in the basement or in a utility room that structurally belongs to the neighbouring building. If its location and key are not in the property record, the cleaner searches afresh at every visit. Across twenty entrances that alone decides half an hour. In this district, organisation counts for more than technique.

How we invoice

The scale of these estates works in your favour when it comes to billing. Work is charged by hours actually worked at €25 per person and hour, and the travel flat rate of €18 arises once per working day and job. Whether four or eighteen entrances of the same estate are covered that day makes no difference to it. Care of the green corridors is charged at €30 and shown as its own item. No VAT is charged, in accordance with § 19 of the German VAT Act.

Questions from this district

Do you clean every entrance of an estate on the same day?

As a rule yes, because the distances between the buildings are short. The order is fixed so that the record per entrance stays correct. For the travel flat rate it remains one working day and one job, however many entrances are involved.

How do you prove that a particular entrance was cleaned?

For each entrance we log the date, the time and the initials of the person on site. If a report comes in about block 14b, that single line answers it: who was there, when, and for how long. Where the condition does not match, we take that same entrance on again.

Can you work in occupied tower blocks without tying up the lift?

Yes. Equipment and water go up once, then the work runs downwards floor by floor, so the lift is occupied only briefly. If a car is out of service we move the upper floors to the next visit rather than carrying equipment up twenty storeys.

Are the green areas between the rows of buildings included?

Only on an explicit order and costed separately: garden work is €30 per person and hour. Lawns, hedges within reach and leaves on the footpaths are possible. Work on trees, and anything that would require climbing equipment, is not included.

What do you need to quote for a whole estate?

The list of entrances with storeys per entrance, the floor materials, access to the underground garage and where water can be drawn. If those details are missing we walk the property once; a separately booked inspection costs a flat €40 and is waived once a job follows.
