Summit Property Care › Strata Dryer Vents
For strata councils & property managers
Per-unit dryer vents, with a record for the file.
Lint is the leading material first ignited in dryer fires, and in a multi-family building one blocked run is everybody’s problem. We clean per unit and hand you the documentation.
Why this one lands on your desk
Dryer vent cleaning in multi-family buildings is rarely requested by residents. It arrives via the insurer, the depreciation report, or a fire inspection — and once it has arrived, the council needs it done, documented and closed off before the next AGM.
The practical problem is never the cleaning. It is access: thirty to a hundred and fifty units, every one needing someone home, across a building where half the owners are renting out and don’t read notices.
How we run a building
- Notice material you can actually post — we supply the resident notice and the booking window, written to be understood rather than ignored.
- Blocked scheduling by stack or floor, so residents get a two-hour window rather than a whole day, and we are not crossing the building twelve times.
- A documented second pass for the units nobody was home for. There are always some, and a quote that pretends otherwise is a quote that gets revised later.
- Per-unit completion records — unit number, date, technician, and the condition found. That is the artefact your insurer is actually asking for.
- Flagged deficiencies listed separately: crushed foil transition hoses, disconnected runs inside walls, birds nesting in exterior caps. We report them, we do not quietly bill for them.
What the record is for
Councils get asked to prove the work was done — by an insurer at renewal, by a buyer’s conveyancer reading minutes, or by the next property manager inheriting the file. A stack of invoices does not answer that. A per-unit register does.
We also do the exteriors. Most of our strata work is the whole site — building washing, gutters and walkways — and putting the dryer vents in the same mobilisation is materially cheaper than two separate contractors twice a year. Strata exterior cleaning →
What it costs
Strata dryer vents — how we price it
Every building is different, so instead of a price we publish the turnaround.
Send the address and the scope. We work it out from site plans and a walk-through where one is warranted, then come back with a written scope and a fixed number — usually inside two business days.
No pitch meeting, no pressure to decide on the spot, and the number in the scope is the number on the invoice.
Common questions
Strata dryer vents — straight answers
How is it priced?
Per unit, with the rate set by the unit count and the run complexity. Send us the building and the number of units and we will come back with a fixed number and a written scope.
What happens with units nobody is home for?
They go on a documented second-pass list and we return. The scope says how many passes are included so there is no surprise variation later.
Do you provide insurance and WorkSafeBC documentation?
Yes, both, with the quote rather than after you ask.
Can you work around a building with no elevator or limited parking?
Yes. Tell us about it up front and it goes in the scope, because it genuinely affects how long the building takes.
