Where’s the job?

Scope of Works

• check motor brushes, belts, bearings and brush bar for wear and replace items where agreed

• run suction and brush bar performance tests and carry out basic electrical safety checks

• provide a written summary of findings and a quote for any additional repairs or parts required

Typical Cost

Time on Site

Most routine services take 30–90 minutes; a full strip‑down and deep clean can take 1–3 hours. Time increases with motor repairs, parts ordering, heavy pet hair or allergen contamination and complicated access

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• do you service my make and model and do you have manufacturer approvals if needed

• what parts are likely to be replaced and are parts cost included in the quote

• will you perform electrical safety checks and a measured suction test after service

• what warranty do you offer on parts and labour and how long does it last

• do you handle allergen‑safe disposal and wear PPE when dealing with fine dust or mould

• how long will you need the machine if parts need ordering and do you provide updates

How to Avoid Surprises

• clear the area around the vacuum and remove fragile items before arrival

• charge cordless batteries and have them available to speed battery checks and replacements

• tell the tradie about narrow stairs, lifts or restricted access when booking

• arrange parking or loading permits if access is limited to avoid delays

• warn the tradie about heavy pet hair, mould or biohazard contamination so they can bring suitable PPE and disposal bags

• check building rules for trade access, insurance requirements and permitted working times
