Questions to Ask Your Tradie

 

• Are you insured for household removals and public liability?

• How many movers and what vehicle will you bring for this dresser?

• Do you need me to empty drawers and remove ornaments before you arrive?

• Will you disassemble and reassemble the dresser and is that included in the price?

• What happens if you find damage or it won’t fit through the route provided?

• Do you offer short-term storage and what are the costs if I need it?

 

How to Avoid Surprises

 

• Clear access routes and measure doors, hallways and stair widths

• Reserve parking or confirm permit arrangements near the entrance

• Remove or secure fragile items and valuables before the crew arrives

• Tell the tradie about tight corners, low ceilings or uneven steps in advance

• Agree where the dresser will be stored or placed on return and confirm time window
