Thirteen Commercial Cleaning

What Thirteen Commercial Cleaning does

Thirteen Commercial Cleaning (also branded 13CC) is a family-owned commercial cleaning services company headquartered at 8B Murray St, Thebarton, South Australia, founded in 2004. The company delivers B2B cleaning services to enterprises and institutions across six verticals: commercial/retail, office buildings, construction (builders cleans and fit-outs), government facilities, industrial/warehousing, and shopping centres. Its service delivery rests on a direct sales motion targeting South Australian and Victorian clients, a quote-based pricing model with monthly billing, and a workforce supported by a specialised equipment fleet including scrubbers, sweepers, pressure cleaners, abseiling rigs, and elevated work platforms. The company uses GECA-certified eco-friendly products and emphasises responsiveness and hands-on client management.

Thirteen Commercial Cleaning's customer base is concentrated in the South Australian construction sector, with multi-year relationships with major builders including Hansen Yuncken, EMMETT, SARAH Constructions, Built Environs, Tandem Building, and Schiavello, alongside corporate and institutional clients such as RAA, Adelaide United FC, Port Adelaide FC, and Queen Elizabeth Hospital. The company reports 1,000+ jobs completed and $10bn+ in cumulative construction project value serviced, with a stated 5-star Google rating and 100% customer satisfaction. Distribution is purely direct (no channel partners), with acquisition driven by phone outreach, website enquiry forms, a content-led website, LinkedIn presence, and community/sports sponsorships including the 2025 Jason Horne-Francis AFL sponsorship with Port Adelaide Football Club.

The business is privately held by its founding family with no institutional investors, parent company, or public listing identified. Operating geographies span South Australia and Victoria, supported by an 11–50 employee workforce and recurring monthly contracts across office, retail, government, and shopping centre accounts, supplemented by episodic construction cleaning projects. There are no proprietary software products, no mobile application, no API, and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities; competitive positioning is built on workforce reliability, equipment specialisation, environmental certification, and established construction-sector relationships rather than technology differentiation.
