Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• Do you include an inventory-ready checklist and final photos

• Are oven and carpet steam-cleaning included or quoted as extras and how are they charged

• What PPE and cleaning products do you use and are they safe for painted surfaces and laminate

• How do you handle heavy stains, mould or pest contamination and will that incur extra charges

• Do you bring your own supplies and waste bags or do you expect access to the property’s bins

• What is your cancellation and re-attendance policy if the landlord or inventory clerk requests additional cleaning

How to Avoid Surprises

• confirm access, keys or building entry codes in advance

• clear personal items and food from surfaces and fridge before the team arrives

• advise of pets, communal parking rules or permit requirements so crew can park legally

• tell the tradie about known mould, hoarding or biohazard issues ahead of the booking

• check whether landlord inventory items need special treatment and agree extras in writing before work starts
