Questions to Ask Your Tradie
Â
• Are you insured for public liability and can you confirm cover for waste removal
• What will you remove from site and what do you leave for composting
• Do you charge for disposal or skip hire and how is that calculated
• Will you need access to water or electricity and are there any extra charges
• How many operatives and what equipment will you bring
• Can you confirm a written quote and a clear start/finish estimate
Â
How to Avoid Surprises
Â
• Clear a safe access route and let the tradie know of narrow gates or steps
• Reserve parking nearby or agree a drop-off point for equipment
• Point out underground services, boundary disputes or protected plants before work starts
• Confirm waste removal method and where cuttings will be left if not taken away
• Secure pets and fragile items and note any site noise or local working-hour limits
