Questions to Ask Your Tradie

 

• do you include disposal fees in the quote or charge separately

• can you dismantle and refit bed frames and is there an extra charge

• how do you handle items with bedbugs, mould or contamination and do you use sealed bags

• what parking or access will you need and do you require permits for restricted streets

• are you insured and can you provide a waste transfer note for commercial disposal

• will call‑out fees be deducted from the final price if I proceed

 

How to Avoid Surprises

 

• clear a route from room to exit and measure doorways if tight

• reserve or advise on parking to avoid waiting charges

• tell the tradie about stains, pests or mould before the visit

• check building rules for bulky waste or concierge requirements in flats

• remove bedding and small items from the mattress to speed up the job
