Time on Site

 

Most urgent house cleans take 1–4 hours for a flat or small house; larger properties, heavy soiling or odour remediation can extend this to 4–8 hours or require a return visit

 

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

 

• can you attend today or within 24 hours and what timeslots are available

• are you insured and can you provide proof of public liability cover

• do you bring your own cleaning products and PPE and are they included in the price

• how many cleaners will attend and how long do you estimate on site

• can you manage illness-related or bio-contamination cleaning and how is waste handled

• will I receive a written quote or before/after checklist and any cancellation terms

 

How to Avoid Surprises

 

• clear access routes, secure pets and remove fragile items from surfaces

• provide parking or loading instructions to avoid delays

• tell the cleaner about specific stains, odours or biohazards in advance so correct kit is brought

• confirm whether cleaners can use your water and electricity and where bins are located

• check building rules or flat management for access times and working-at-height or noise restrictions
