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
