Hints

To help minimize mud, damage and risk here are a few hints:

  • Children and Pets need to be away from the work area. Dangerous tools and chemicals are part of the job.
  • I am happy to come in the back door
  • Have a mat at the door so I can clean my boots before entering
  • Have a door stop so I can get through doors without banging tools
  • Make certain I have a clear path to the work area
  • Vehicles need to be at least 3m from any point of ingress/egress
  • Remove any fragile items from the area
  • Place towels under closed doors to stop dust spreading.
  • Let me know if there are items/areas of concern
  • Raise any concerns you have ASAP
  • Anything that looks like cement sheet will need to be tested for asbestos if being worked on. Including: Vinyl flooring, Carpet and Tile underlay, eaves and insulation for hot water tanks and pipes.

Cleanup

  • I bring a brush and pan and small vaacum cleaner to cleanup
  • I am happy to give the floor a quick mop if you can supply same
  • Any waste materials will be deposited neatly in your bin
  • When painting we will need access to an area to clean paint brushes
  • Dust and noise are somewhat inevitable.
