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
