Indre By: Apartments, offices and the unique challenge of old Copenhagen buildings
Narrow stairs, original ceilings, mixed-use buildings. What cleaning in Indre By requires.
On this page
Indre By isn't one type of client — it's 17th century apartments, design studios in old industrial buildings, law firms in patrician houses, and flagship shops at street level. What they share: buildings with rules no modern office tower has.
Old buildings have their own language
- Narrow stairwells — 30 kg of equipment carried up, standard practice
- Original ceilings (painted, frescoed, stucco) — we don't touch without written agreement
- Large multi-pane windows — frames are dust traps, we wipe but don't clean the glass
- Floors that tilt — water always lands somewhere, we move cloths directionally
- Sound carries between apartments — we work discreetly and at low tempo
Why Indre By takes longer
An 80 m² apartment in Indre By isn't the same as 80 m² on Amager. Often 4-5 rooms, sloped ceilings, old radiators with dust behind, and surfaces requiring specific technique. We factor 15-20% extra time in our estimates for that kind of address — and it's transparent in your price quote.
Business in Indre By: a different league
Law firms, consultants, design studios, agencies. Common across them: serious discretion, small teams, offices open to clients daily. We come after hours, typically between 6 and 9pm, or early morning 6-8am. If the agreement says 7pm, it's 7pm.
Our clients in Indre By
Triobike has headquarters and a smaller shop in the neighbourhood — we clean both. Plus several law and architecture studios, and private apartments at addresses like Nyhavn, the Strøget side, and around Gammeltorv.
Frequently asked questions
- Can you carry equipment up to the 4th floor without a lift?
- Yes. We've done it for years — it just requires that we know in advance and send the right team. No surcharge.
- What about parking?
- We handle it ourselves. Staff on bikes in Indre By, or park in car parks within walking distance. Nothing for you to worry about.
- Can you come early morning?
- Yes, from 6am. For business especially, early morning cleaning is standard — we're out before the first meeting.
- Experience with heritage-listed or heritage-adjacent buildings?
- Yes, several clients live or work in heritage-protected buildings. We know the rules about what can and can't be cleaned on original surfaces (painted ceilings, wooden floors, stucco). Ask specifically about your building — we adapt.
