Fitzroy’s terraces, warehouse conversions and apartments run wall-mounted and multi-head split systems in tight spaces. FreshDuct cleans them carefully — coil, fan and condenser, with photo proof.
Terrace or apartment split? We work around tight access and shared walls without the mess.
Fitzroy is inner-Melbourne at its densest and most characterful — Victorian terraces off Brunswick Street, converted warehouses and a growing stock of apartments. Almost none of it was built with ducted air conditioning, so the wall-mounted split system is the default. In a single-fronted terrace that might be one head in the living area; in a warehouse conversion or apartment it is often a multi-head system feeding several rooms from one outdoor unit.
The defining issue in Fitzroy is access, not just grime. Outdoor condensers get tucked onto a rear parapet, a courtyard wall, a light well or a shared rooftop, and reaching them safely takes some care. Indoors, the heads run hard in compact, well-sealed rooms, so the barrel fan and coil build the dust and condensation that grow black mould — and in an apartment that stale, musty air has nowhere to go.
FreshDuct cleans Fitzroy split systems with the building in mind. We protect floors and shared walls, deep-clean and sanitise the indoor heads, reach and wash the awkwardly placed outdoor unit, and keep the job tidy and quiet for neighbours. Every clean is documented with before and after photos.
The things we look at first on a Fitzroy split system — based on the local homes and conditions.
Fitzroy condensers sit on parapets, courtyard walls and shared rooftops. We plan safe access and clean the coil and fins properly rather than skipping the outdoor unit because it is hard to reach.
Warehouse conversions and apartments often run one outdoor unit feeding several indoor heads. We clean each head and the shared condenser, and check the system as a whole, not just the one room you noticed.
Compact, well-sealed inner-city rooms trap the moisture a split throws off, so mould builds quickly on the fan and coil. We sanitise thoroughly so the unit is not recirculating spores in a small space.

A Fitzroy clean is as much about respecting the building as cleaning the unit. Drop sheets, quiet work and tidy access matter when you share walls and a body corporate. We deep-clean the indoor head over a catch bag so nothing runs down a heritage wall, and reach the outdoor unit safely wherever it has been mounted.
For multi-head systems we clean every head and the common condenser, so you are not left with one fresh room and three that still smell musty. It is the thorough approach these compact homes need.
