Common area maintenance, tailored to your building

Fixed monthly price Waste management included 📸 Photos per visit

In a student house the shared space is always the first thing to decline and the last thing anyone feels responsible for. We come at fixed times so it doesn't depend on who happens to feel like it that week, and we tell you when something is going structurally wrong.

Why Schoonmaakgent

How we work

Rhythm follows the academic year

More at the September start and June changeover, less during exams.

Fixed monthly price per property

Per building, not per hour. One invoice across multiple properties.

Photos every visit

Useful if you don't live in Ghent or you're tracking ten properties.

We report what's broken

A broken lock or leaking tap comes from us, not from a tenant three weeks later.

How it works

Here's how it goes

One point of contact for all your buildings in Ghent, no matter how many properties.

1

Walkthrough per building

We note the spaces, the number of residents and where the bins are kept.

2

A fixed schedule

Weekly or bi-weekly, matched to occupancy and the collection calendar.

3

Follow-up by photo

Every visit documented, plus a heads-up on damage or structural problems.

FAQ

Student housing — your questions answered

Do you adjust frequency during exams?

Yes. There's less traffic and less need during the exam period, and more in September and June. We agree that in advance.

Do you put the waste out?

Yes, following the city of Ghent's collection calendar, and we bring the bins back in the next day.

We manage twelve properties. Can that be one contract?

That's exactly what we're set up for: one contact, one monthly invoice, a separate schedule per property.

What if students leave a mess?

We clear the common areas and tell you with a photo when it becomes structural. What you do with that is your call.

Do you clean the rooms themselves?

Not as standard, those are private. At the June changeover we do, as an end-of-lease clean per room.

What about notice?

Three months by registered letter, as with our other fixed contracts.

Common area & student housing cleaning in Ghent

Around the Overpoortstraat, Sint-Pietersnieuwstraat and the Coupure there are hundreds of student houses, often with eight to twenty rooms each. Schoonmaakgent maintains the stairwells, hallways, shared kitchens and bathrooms for landlords, syndics and property managers across Ghent.

The academic year sets the rhythm. The September start and the June changeover need more than the exam period does. We adjust frequency to that calendar rather than billing the same all year, and we handle putting out the waste according to the city of Ghent's collection schedule.
