Questions to Ask Your Tradie
• can you attend today or within 24 hours and what timeslots are available
• are you insured and can you provide proof of public liability cover
• do you bring your own cleaning products and PPE and are they included in the price
• how many cleaners will attend and how long do you estimate on site
• can you manage illness-related or bio-contamination cleaning and how is waste handled
• will I receive a written quote or before/after checklist and any cancellation terms
How to Avoid Surprises
• clear access routes, secure pets and remove fragile items from surfaces
• provide parking or loading instructions to avoid delays
• tell the cleaner about specific stains, odours or biohazards in advance so correct kit is brought
• confirm whether cleaners can use your water and electricity and where bins are located
• check building rules or flat management for access times and working-at-height or noise restrictions
