Questions to Ask Your Tradie
• do you charge a fixed price or by the hour and what does that include
• do you include dismantling, tip fees or bulky waste collection in the quote
• are you insured for damage and public liability and can you show evidence
• how will you protect floors, doors and communal areas during removal
• do you need parking/low-loader access or any permits for the vehicle
• can you provide a disposal receipt or certificate for waste tracking
How to Avoid Surprises
• measure doorways, corridors and stair widths and tell the tradie about tight corners
• check parking or loading space and arrange permits if needed
• remove valuables and loose items from the wardrobe before arrival
• tell the tradie about mould, pests or water damage so they bring appropriate PPE
• agree disposal method and whether you want donation, council collection or commercial disposal
