Questions to Ask Your Tradie
• do you supply the replacement glass or should i provide the exact make and model
• what parts and labour warranty do you offer and how long does coverage last
• are you qualified to isolate and test the electrical supply and will you issue a certificate if needed
• how long will you need on site and what could trigger extra charges or a return visit
• do you remove and dispose of broken glass and is there an extra disposal charge
• if my hob requires a control board or bespoke glass, how long is the lead time and can you provide a written estimate
How to Avoid Surprises
• send make/model and clear photos of the hob before the visit so the tradie brings the right part
• clear the area under and around the hob and remove crockery or fragile items
• check parking, access and building or management restrictions for working hours and waste removal
• tell the tradie about any tight cut-outs, island hobs or glued seals that may need extra work
• ask in advance about lead times for bespoke glass or control boards to avoid repeat visits
