What to include in the written scope
Wall cleaning can change flat or ageing paint. Test a small area and separate ordinary cleaning from damage or repainting decisions.
Common inclusions
- Assessment of washable surfaces
- Light spot cleaning where safe
- Door and switch-area marks
- Skirting and trim wipe-down
- Dust and cobweb removal
- Broader work when separately quoted
What needs separate confirmation
A useful quote identifies exclusions and practical limitations as clearly as inclusions. That is especially important when access, surface condition or specialist treatment could change the work.
- Repainting or colour matching
- Removing damage, dents or holes
- Guaranteeing marks from non-washable paint
- Mould remediation
- Nicotine or severe contamination without assessment
How to get a more accurate quote
Provide the suburb, property type, room counts, planned date, access details and clear photos of anything heavily soiled or hard to reach. Attach the relevant condition-report or agent-checklist pages if available.
Before the appointment
Remove belongings from the agreed work areas, keep water and electricity available and confirm parking, lifts, keys and the handover deadline. Tell the provider about delicate finishes, existing damage or areas that should not be treated.
After the agreed work
Walk through the property against the written inclusions while access is still available. Photograph the completed areas, keep the invoice and raise any scope question promptly with the provider.
