Apartment and tenement building cleaning in Žabovřesky

Žabovřesky is a patchwork of housing (period tenements around Tábor street, a large prefab estate and quiet villa streets), and we adapt the cleaning to each of them. We clean stairwells and courtyards, wash windows and keep entrances free of snow in winter.

Housing in Žabovřesky and what it means for cleaning

Žabovřesky was once a village in its own right. Today buildings from very different periods stand side by side here, from the turn of the 20th century to the 1970s. According to the 2021 census more than 21,000 people live on its 4.35 km², which makes it a densely populated part of the city on the left bank of the Svratka. We clean apartment buildings in Žabovřesky, and each type of building needs something different from us:

  • Tenements around Tábor: rented apartment houses that began to appear here at the end of the 19th century. Many of them come with a courtyard and a bin store.
  • The prefab estate from 1966–1977: blocks with lifts, landings and several entrances. What counts is regular work and the same scope for every entrance.
  • Post-war apartment buildings: built mostly between the older streets and Královo Pole.
  • Villa quarters: Česká úřednická čtvrť (the Czech Civil Servants’ Quarter) by Wilsonův les (Wilson Forest), villas on Krondlova, Tichého and Gogolova streets and the functionalist Nový dům colony. The Art Nouveau Jurkovičova vila (Jurkovič Villa) of 1906 is here too.

On the estate we mostly talk about frequency; in older buildings it is more about treating their surfaces gently.

What we do for buildings in Žabovřesky

  • Apartment building cleaning: stairwells, corridors, lifts, cellars, the courtyard and bin areas.
  • Window cleaning: staircase windows, landing windows in the prefab blocks and windows of family houses and villas, sills always included.
  • Snow removal: entrances, courtyards and paths on the building’s land.

Households in Žabovřesky can also ask us for carpet and sofa cleaning.

Courtyards and entrances in winter

With a tenement, winter is not just about the pavement in front of the door. The courtyard, the passage to the bins and the steps down to the basement belong to the building, and keeping them free of snow is the building’s own responsibility. Before the season we go through with the committee which areas you want looked after, including the routes residents use most.

Tenement, prefab block or villa: what changes

A tenement usually has a spacious staircase, fewer flats and often a courtyard shared by several buildings. The committee of the owners’ association (SVJ) tends to care most about how the staircase and courtyard look, because everyone who comes in sees them. On the estate there are more flats, more people coming and going and frequency matters more. With villas and family houses it is mostly one-off work, such as washing the windows before the holidays or cleaning a sofa. Each of these customers gets a different scope from us, not one template for the whole of Žabovřesky.

Where we travel from

Our base is on Hvozdecká street in Bystrc, on the western edge of Brno. Nearby we also work in Komín, Královo Pole, Jundrov and Brno-střed. For your building in Žabovřesky, just send us a no-obligation request.

What we look out for in Žabovřesky

  • Tenements from around 1900

    The streets around Tábor were filled with rented apartment houses step by step from the end of the 19th century. On older stairs and floors we choose products to suit the material and ask during the visit what the surfaces have been treated with so far.

  • An estate from 1966–1977

    The large prefab estate in Žabovřesky went up between 1966 and 1977. The blocks are tall and have lifts, so the work centres on regularly cleaning lift cars, landings and entrances.

  • Small houses below Palackého vrch

    On the slopes of Palackého vrch, terraced and in places stepped family houses adjoin the estate. For their owners we offer window cleaning and sofa and carpet cleaning, and we can price a small job from a description and a few photos.

Cleaning in Žabovřesky: frequently asked questions

Will you clean a Žabovřesky tenement with an old staircase and a shared courtyard?

Yes. The older tenements around Tábor have different needs from the prefab estate: a generous staircase, a courtyard and a bin store. We walk through them during the visit and suggest a frequency that suits the building.

Can you clear snow from the entrance and courtyard of a tenement in Žabovřesky?

Yes. Žabovřesky is part of the area around Bystrc where we provide winter maintenance. We clear entrances, paths and courtyards on the building’s land under a contract for the whole winter.

Do you also wash windows for villa owners near Wilsonův les?

Yes, we wash windows in villas and family houses too, as a one-off or regularly, always including the sills. For a villa with a lot of windows we recommend a visit first, so that we know in advance how to reach them.
