Questions to Ask Your Tradie
• do you bring your own cleaning products and equipment or should i supply anything
• how many cleaners will you send and what estimated hours do you expect for my property
• do you offer specialist services for carpets, upholstery or ovens and are these charged separately
• how do you manage hazardous contamination such as mould, rodent droppings or sewage and what PPE do you use
• will you move furniture and is there an extra charge for heavy or specialist items
• are you insured for accidental damage and do you carry public liability cover for my property
How to Avoid Surprises
• clear access routes and declutter rooms where possible
• provide parking or confirm where the van can stop
• point out fragile or valuable items and remove anything you don’t want touched
• confirm access to hot water and electricity and share any gate or door codes
• tell the team about pets, allergies or household vulnerabilities so appropriate precautions are taken
