Ghent apartment buildings rarely have just stairs and a lift. There's a bike store that fills up, sometimes a shop on the ground floor, and often an entrance hall with original tiles. We look after all of it for syndics and owners' associations, on a fixed schedule.
In Ghent many apartment buildings are townhouses split into three or four units, and the syndic is often one of the owners. Others are larger blocks around the Dampoort or in Gentbrugge. The same applies to both: it has to happen every week, and nobody wants to chase it themselves.
Small associations too
A split townhouse with three owners gets the same attention as a block of forty.
Gentle products where needed
Original tiles and wooden stairs react badly to aggressive cleaners.
One invoice per building
Easy to include in the association's settlement.
Cover arranged
In case of illness or leave, the visit still happens.
Whether the syndic is a professional or one of the residents.
Introduction
A short call or walkthrough, even if the syndic is one of the owners.
Fixed arrangements
Day, frequency, access and what happens in each space, in writing.
Follow-up
Photos every visit and a notice if something is broken.
Yes. In Ghent that's very common with split townhouses. We make it as easy as possible for a volunteer syndic: one contact, one invoice a month, and photos so they don't have to go and check.
With a pH-neutral product and little water. Cement tiles are porous and go dull with acidic or aggressive cleaners. If in doubt we test one tile in a corner first.
Yes, sweeping and clearing the sand and leaves that come in with the bikes. We only move bikes if that's agreed in advance, for example for an annual deep clean.
Yes, following IVAGO's collection calendar, and we bring them back in the next day.
That depends on the deed of division. We agree upfront which parts are common and which private, so nothing falls between two parties.

Ghent's housing is varied: townhouses split into flats with original tiles and wooden stairs, and newer blocks with lifts and underground garages. Then there's the bike store, which in a cycling city like Ghent is often the most used common space in the building. We include it in the round rather than forgetting it.
